It's true that I run 3-4 times a week (and I've competed in completed 2 5K's), but I also have a little athlete around that keeps me in tip-top condition. You should see her go. She's a marathoner-in-training. Actually, forget the "in training" part. She puts in her 26+ miles without a flinch.

I remember seeing her warm smile and […]

I introduced "Themed Weekends" - a new feature here at Metropolitan Mama - last weekend. Our very first Themed Weekend was "All About Toddlers" and a fun time was had by all (well, I had fun anyway...what about you?).
