We have returned safely to Minneapolis after our getaway to Turks & Caicos! It's always so hard to return from a vacation, isn't it? It was a lovely trip, though a not-so-lovely travel day back to the U.S. Our flight was delayed from Turks & Caicos due to a mechanical issue, so we arrived in Charlotte an hour late. When we got there, customs was really backed up, so we were stuck on Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: A Long Run in Turks & Caicos and More Island Fun…
Hello, hello, from Turks and Caicos! I haven't had a lot of time to check in here on the Right Fits while on vacation. However, today is rather windy and mostly cloudy, so we've had a little more downtime in our suite. Speaking of our suite, we were informed upon checking in that we were upgraded to an ocean view suite! Can't complain about that! The Windsong Resort, where we are Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: En Route to Turks & Caicos!
Good morning! I'm writing this post from the airport in Charlotte, NC. We are on our way to Turks & Caicos for a beach getaway. We've had enough of the snow and winter! True, we did just return from our trip to Utah, (which was a blast), but that was a trip that involved more snow...it is time for some R & R in a tropical destination. We are in need of some Vitamin D! So where is Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: Graston Technique and Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) at Uptown Natural Care Center
If you have been reading the blog for awhile, you know that I have struggled (like so many other runners) with IT band issues in the past.I foam roll regularly, and I have really tried to strengthen my butt and core (with barre classes, yoga, plank challenges!). I try to do the right things to stay on top of this issue, but sometimes it still flares up. I am starting to think it will plague me for Continue Reading
Fits On the Road: Frozen Minnehaha Falls!
I may complain a lot about the Minnesota winter this year, but its not ALL bad. In fact, on Sunday, after returning from Anandale (where I was for all the bachelorette fun) Dustin and I took Matilda to the Minnehaha dog park....Yes, she is wearing a cowl neck sweater. The Right Fit in dog fashion?By the way, today is Matilda's 5th birthday. She has brought so much joy to our lives over the past 5 Continue Reading
Fit Challenge: 26 Day Sit Up Challenge
I'm a little behind with March's challenge, so it won't be quite a 30 day challenge. It will be a 26 day challenge!I have a beach vacation coming up, so that means I have to bare it all in a bikini. After hiding under multiple layers during this Polar Vortex, imbibing in all those hearty winter beers, and indulging in a little too much comfort food, I'm not all that excited about "bikini time."

Fitting Remarks: Top 10 Worst People to Run Next to on a Treadmill
In my weekly recap from yesterday, you probably noticed that there was a lot of treadmill miles...in fact, all 45 miles of last week's running were on a treadmill- eeks! Not fun.Though I started to get kind of used to the ol’ treadmill, I can't say I have learned to love it. I definitely prefer to run outside. It was a lot of time indoors pounding out the miles, but it did give me a lot of time to Continue Reading
