By Jess in MinneapolisThe Athleta Esprit de She 5k debuted last Thursday night at 50th/France in Edina.

Fit Fanatic: Back To Basics- the Long Run
By Jess in MinneapolisHappy Sunday friends! Did you have a long run yesterday? I had a 17 mile run, and it was great! It's been awhile since I could say that...summer longs runs so far have been kind of tough for me this season, with the heat getting the best of me more often than not. But yesterday morning was unseasonably cool for July, and it made a world of a difference!I realize that not Continue Reading
Friday’s Favorite Fit: The Trigger Point Foam Roller
By Jess in MinneapolisI still struggle a bit with my IT band issues, though they have definitely improved. I think it's something I'll face forever (or at least as long as I'm training for marathons). However, I now have a "secret weapon" that I'd like to share as today's favorite fit. This item is not something you wear, but it's something that you roll on top of...It's the Trigger Point Foam Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Up North
By Jess in MinneapolisYesterday, I shared a post about Fits on the Road in Hayward, Wisconsin. That post focused on things to do in Hayward, but there were plenty of fits to be found at the cabin itself.Like previous years, there was some stand-up paddleboarding, though not as much as normal. It was very windy up there this weekend, so it wasn't quite as appealing as normal. However, we still Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Hayward, Wisconsin
I'm back after a very extended weekend at the cabin. We arrived late Wednesday night, and then my sister and her husband and kids met us up there on Thursday afternoon. Four full nights of cabin life makes it difficult to come back to reality...especially when you have a relaxation station like this one at the cabin! There was plenty of relaxing, but honestly, we kept things pretty "fit" up Continue Reading
