What I wanted for Mother’s Day:
To start the day with a 2,000-yd. swim.
Then go to church.
Then run an easy recovery run to my son’s soccer game. I wore my Altra Zero Drop Delilahs (have you entered my giveaway for a pair?) and felt completely effortless–it was such a great run.
To go on a family hike after the soccer game.
Followed by dinner and a movie.
What I got: Exactly that.
I hope all you running mamas out there had a day tailor made for you, too!


















Happy Mother’s Day, Amanda! Sounds like a perfect day to me =) I got up early (430) to do a long run yesterday, but between my stomach not feeling right and my son deciding he wanted to start the day before 5, I decided to stay in bed and cuddle with the little guy !! It was exactly what we both needed!!

Sounds like a wonderful Momma’s Day to me.

I think we moms deserve at least mother’s week, not just one day.

That sounds great, and just what you wanted which is even better. Was a beautiful day here also (and dare I say) even a little warm!
As a dad, though, I am glad Mothers Day is over.

I did get breakfast in bed but only because we went to church on Saturday night. I could get used to that.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day and I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes to work out on Mother’s day.
Happy Mother’s Day! I’m glad it was a good one!

What a great day! I have finally learned, after 12 years of Mother’s Days, that I need to tell my family exactly what I want on my special day. That way I won’t be disappointed:)
