The Runners

In 2010, we assembled one team of 12 runners. In 2011, we’re hoping to go a bit bigger.

We’ll be opening a call for runners and alternates shortly. Meanwhile, here are the Eat. Blog. Run captains/coordinators for 2011:

Marie of Make and Takes

Marie runs the blog Make and Takes, a top rated parenting site featuring kids crafts, home crafts, recipes, and parenting tips. She graduated with an Early Childhood and Elementary teaching degree, where she taught kindergarten for 4 years. She’s now a stay-at-home mom of 3 goofy children and one computer geek husband, living in Salt Lake City. She’s a regular contributor at Alpha Mom and Craftzine, and is a hostess of SocialLuxe Lounge. When she’s not crafting with her kids, she loves to run, read, and blog! You can follow Marie on Twitter at @makeandtakes.

Heather of Rookie Moms

Heather Flett was a bossy big sister and professional project manager before having her controlling ways thoroughly challenged by motherhood. She started rookiemoms.com with her best friend as a result of trying to find activities that are at least as fun for mama as for baby. She co-authored The Rookie Mom’s Handbook as the diaper-bag-friendly companion book. Heather lives in Berkeley with two sons, age 4 and nearly-3. You can follow Heather on Twitter at @rookieheather.

Christine of Boston Mamas

Christine Koh is a former music and brain scientist (she earned her Ph.D. in psychology, and completed her music and auditory neurology postdoctoral fellowship at MIT/Mass. General Hospital/Harvard Medical School) turned freelance writer, editor, designer, and creative consultant. Christine is the founder and editor of Boston Mamas (through which she was named a Nielsen 50 Power Pack Mom and one of Babble.com’s 50 Best Mommy Bloggers), the designer behind Posh Peacock, writes a personal blog at Pop Discourse, and also pens the Shoestring Magazine column Minimalist Mama. She resides in the Boston area with her husband and 5-year-old daughter. She tweets about it all at @bostonmamas.
