Signs You Are Pushing Your Body Too Far

Tina Muir
We live in a go go go world. The busier you are, the better. Who cares if you feel tired, that’s life, get on with it. It feels like everyone around you is cramming more into their morning than you get done in a day, so why are you complaining? Even if you know deep…

Baby Led Weaning (Baby Led Feeding)

Tina Muir
Quite a few people have asked me lately about the way we started Bailey on solid foods, as knowing when you can start giving your baby solid food (and what that even means), along with which baby foods to start with can be really confusing. I wanted to create this baby solid food guide to…

Join a Runner Community for Fun, Friendship, and Freedom to Share

Tina Muir
In the past, the only way to find a runner community was at local running events on a Saturday. Those communities are still there, but if you are shy or a little socially awkward (aren’t runners universally known for being that way? :p) that is not your only option anymore. You can follow social media…

Tina Muir
Last week I published my gift ideas for runners, and this time I thought I would share some ideas for those who are in the same situation as me right now. I am still running a little, but pregnancy gifts for first time moms are far more appropriate to me right now than running things…especially…

End of Second Trimester! 27 Weeks Pregnant

Oh boy! Here we go! The final stretch is ready and waiting for me, and things are getting very real. Not just cause I can’t really bend over anymore, and everything feels a little squished inside, but because I really am nearing my baby’s guess date, and before I know it, she will be here.…

The Will to Win: Is it Bad to be Too Competitive?

Tina Muir
People often ask me when I first realized I was good at running. As a professional runner, you have to know these things, because of course, I should have been way out in front of all the boys from an early age, proving my physical ability before it was even developed. It is the story…
