I was initially concerned with all the free time I would have between the move and the arrival of the baby but man, I have really been keeping busy. I’ve kept my calendar pretty full with dinners and lunches with friends, exercise classes, and my to-do list long in preparation for the arrival of the little one. This week was no different with many highlights below!

img_5511Fiddler on the Roof – We were originally scheduled to go see Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway the week we moved back into town but I had a really bad pregnancy day that day and unfortunately had to change the date. With past-dated tickets as a courtesy from the theater, we were able to catch the show last night and it was incredible! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an entertaining and exciting show.

img_5514Startup podcast – I started listening to the Startup podcast when we were in CT on recommendation from Josh. With the amount of time I started spending on the treadmill and elliptical, the podcast was a great way to pass time but also educational. I really enjoy learning about what it’s like to get a business off the ground – all the positives and obstacles that come along with it. This week I finished Season 2 and am looking forward to Season 3.

img_5513Lindsay Hein’s I’ll Have Another podcast – I have to admit that I haven’t listened to episode 1 yet but I did download all the current episodes and am ready to start! After reading many raving reviews about the podcast including this article in Women’s Running, I am excited to get started. Also, if you’re wondering, I really like the Overcast app for podcast listening.

img_5515Run to Overcome by Meb Kleflezighi – Who doesn’t love Meb? I have meant to read his books for while now and finally started Run to Overcome last week. Meb’s background and journey to running is inspiring. The book is a quick read and adds to the enormous respect that I already had for him. I downloaded Meb for Mortals and am looking forward to starting that soon.

img_5508Oiselle Volee singlet and spike bag arrived – I am excited my Oiselle Volee singlet and spike bag arrived in the mail this week! Even with the baby bump, I had to try on the singlet. I am patiently awaiting the opportunity to wear it for a run and my first race post-baby.

And finally a Oiselle discount for all of my virtual friends! Use the discount code in the picture below to get 10% off your first order.

I’m excited to join Oiselle Volee!

I’m excited to be joining the Oiselle Volee running team!

img_5128I have been a fan of Oiselle’s running clothes for quite some time and for the last three marathons I’ve run, I have sported the Long Flyte Short and a Oiselle hat. Oiselle’s clothes is the reason I became interested in the company but not the reason I decided to join the team. As I learned more about the company’s founding, Kara Goucher’s partnership with Oiselle, and their support of women in running, I knew I wanted to join the Volee team one day.

This timing could not be better actually. Certainly not because I am 7 months pregnant and my days of running consistently may be limited for the next couple of months, but because after over 4 years of being dedicated to distance running, I know it’s my passion. Also, with the upcoming arrival of our baby girl, I would love to share my love of running with her. I wanted to join a running community that is dedicated to supporting women and Oiselle could not be a better choice.

Since posting on social media that I am excited to be a part of the team, I have been welcomed by so many members of the team virtually. I am looking forward to joining such a supportive, passionate, and strong community of women.

Many who know my running story know that I started “for real” distance running when my grandmother passed away due to Alzheimer’s and I have been fortunate to be a part of the Athletes to End Alzheimer’s NYC Marathon teams for the last 4 years. Being a part of Oiselle Volee does not mean I will not support Athletes to End Alzheimer’s or join their team again, joining the Volee team is just another community that I am excited to be a part of.
