Six IRunMommies from our original team in Bradenton/Sarasota had a super fun adventure on October 8th, 2011, by participating in the 1Day Relay. The race started at Pier 22 in Bradenton and ended over 50 miles south at Sharky’s in Venice. The course was scenic, uncrowded, challenging, and resulted in a super, super fun day shared between friends!
This was the inaugural year for the relay and we were impressed by how organized the event was and how well marked the course was. It is a great event …

We love Subway because it’s a great alternative to the traditional, greasy fast food when you’re out and in a pinch and need something healthy to fuel up on! In addition to some great sandwich options, Subway has now introduced its Yogurt Parfait. It’s made fresh daily with strawberries, blueberries, granola and yogurt.
I’m not gonna lie… the yogurt parfait is not very big.  But, it does make the perfect after school snack for the kids, or even just a low cal snack to tide you over!  I picked …

On June 1st, several of our Sarasota/Bradenton IRunMommies will be embarking on a challenge! While we’re used to challenging ourselves on the race course, we’re going to now start challenging ourselves in the kitchen.
For the month of June, we will commit to this ONE THING:
Drink a quart of delicious green smoothie each day! Prepare cell nourishing, body beautifying, energy giving food without turning on the oven? Yes, please!!
That’s it! Just ADD the smoothie. We do have a few ambitious ladies, who have already realized the benefits of …

It wasn’t necessarily pretty, but we did it.  Twenty five faithful IRunMommies completed the Ragnar Relay Miami to Key West event on January 7-8, 2011. IRunMommies from all over Atlanta, Charlotte/Lee County,  Osceola/Orange County, and Bradenton/Sarasota for what was definitely an EXPERIENCE!
Get a taste of just how wacky our adventure was in our video (below) of the event!

Have we lost our minds? Wait, don’t answer that! It’s amazing what some IRunMommies will do for a few days away from chores, playing chauffeur, sticky fingers, diapers, and making meals. While most people would consider running 190 miles from Miami to Key West ridiculous, we call it VACATION!! All in a day’s work for an IRunMommy!
That’s right, the …

Pink and green overwhelmed Marietta Square Saturday morning as the IronMommies Atlanta showed their spirit at the Christmas in July 5k! This super fun, family event benefited Cobb Christmas and The Fur Bus!
Next up for our IronMommies Atlanta… the Acworth Women’s Triathlon!! Go IronMommies, go!!

Our fabulous new Morning Milers Clinic graduated several new IronMommies this morning as they completed their FIRST 5k in style! In only four short, hot, weeks, these girls have accomplished something really special! And did I mention, they did all their training in Florida heat and humidity?!! These are some tough cookies!! BUT, we had a wonderful time together at Sammy’s Run and supported a wonderful cause!  Oh, AND we won “Most Spirited Team!”  Yeah, IronMommies!
Congratulations IronMommies!! You definitely earned some relaxation time over this holiday …
