Isn't this sports bra the most beautiful one you've ever seen? It's the Oiselle Spandos Jane Bra. I just love the pattern. It comes in several other fun colors, but the "Red Waves" pictured above was by far my favorite. I have worn this new bra for several runs and its quite supportive. The straps are adjustable, which is fantastic. Unlike some of the other Oiselle bras that come in regular Continue Reading
Fits Do Product Reviews: Handful Bras!
I've said it on this blog a million times: a good sports bra is an incredibly important part of your running 'kit!' I've tried so many different brands and types and I definitely have a few favorites, but I'm always keeping my eyes open for new ones. I was really excited to have the opportunity to try out a Handful bra, thanks to the awesome people at Gear Running Store. I had heard of Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion: New Balance for J.Crew
New Balance for J.Crew. New Balance + J.Crew = A perfect partnership! New Balance has been killing it lately with their fitness fashion and I am still a loyal J.Crew fan (even though some say their quality has decreased; I still love them!) A large portion of my non-fitness wardrobe is from J.Crew. With this new partnership, a portion of my fitness wardrobe will be from J.Crew too! A Continue Reading
Title Nine Giveaway: The Winner is….
Good morning everyone! I know that I said I was going to announce the Title Nine winner yesterday, but I ran out of time, so this here we go this morning. Matilda helped...with her 'merica flair! Actually, Dustin helped. I was back from my morning run in time to catch him to videotape the drawing of the winner. He can vouch for the fairness of the drawing. Everyone who tweeted and/or Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion Friday: Title Nine Bra Fit Fest and a Giveaway!
Boobs. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Running with boobs? It can be challenging....because boobs come in all different shapes and sizes! And truthfully, sports bras haven't always come in different shapes and sizes. And how about running for a LONG time with boobs (like 26.2 miles?) It can cause all kinds of pain and issues- chafing is my biggest issue (underarm and right Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: Grandma’s Marathon 2016
Marathon #23, complete. On Saturday, June 18, 2016, I ran Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN. This was my second Grandma's Marathon. Other than Twin Cities, this is the only marathon I have done more than once. I'm going to start with the bad news...I did not achieve my goal at this race; I had hoped to go under 3:40 by enough to be able to register for Boston 2017 with Dustin. But Mother Nature Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion: The Oiselle Verrazano Bra
I have a quick fitness fashion post for you. It's all about the Oiselle Verrazano Bra! I'm always on the look-out for a good sports bra. It's the "base" of any successful running 'kit.' The right fit in a sports bra is the building block for the right fit for your entire running outfit! I'm a fan of the Moving Comfort Serena bra, (which was discontinued -so sad!) and the Bitty Bracer by Continue Reading
