Welcome back, Mommies! If you’ve found yourself on the road to recovery after illness, you’re not alone. Today I’m going to chat about the journey of returning to running, specifically for the strong, passionate women who might not be fitness models but love the rhythm of the pavement beneath their feet. Recently I’ve found myself doing research on Cortisone and Running or training. I feel fine, this is my second course of Pedisone, and all my flu symptoms have subsided I still have about 3 days left but I’ve started wondering about resuming my beloved running routine, especially when Prednisone is part of the equation.

The Main theme we were discussing at the conference this year was ‘Diversity and inclusion’ . Within our South-African team, but within our global team and community as well.I feel that even though it was a theme chosen by global it hits true and home so hard for us as a country – diversity /dʌɪˈvəːsɪti,dɪˈvəːsɪti/ noun; The practice or quality of including or involving people from a…
