Listen to Your Body
Acadia Gantz, the ‘TrailRunningBabyCatcher’
There is such a need for information about running and pregnancy… really good, solid, not-scare-tactic information about running in pregnancy, about getting back to running post-partum, about what it’s like to be trying to raise a child and be a runner.
Embrace Your Gray Areas

What other thing gives us that much sickness, and we don’t remove it from our lives?
