Jane Baker

Jane Baker is a preschool teacher and a mum to two beautiful girls. When she is not spending time with her family or her students, Jane is devoting her hours to running and cooking, which are two of her biggest passions in life.

She started running after her first pregnancy as a way to regain her fitness and a fire inside her lit up. Jane participated in fun 5Ks and 10Ks and soon enough, she was registering for — and kicking butt at — half-marathons and full marathons. She enjoys listening to educational podcasts while running alone, which has become her favourite therapeutic activity.

And as an avid runner, Jane has a big appetite for all things delicious. She learned how to cook when she was still young and experimented with many different dishes over the years. Of course, not all were a roaring success! She doesn’t believe in depriving herself of anything good — pavlova is definitely her favourite dessert to make of all time. But she also believes in following a balanced diet and teaches her kids to do the same.

Jane is now learning the ropes of writing, so she can share her experiences as a parent, a teacher, a runner, and a home cook.
