On Monday, I shared my race recap of the Imogene Pass Run, which was held on Saturday, September 12. That post focused on the race, but I wanted to share some of the other things that we did during this short little Colorado getaway. This is a primarily a fitness blog, but I like using it as a place to share my travels as well! Hopefully you find it useful if you ever find yourself heading to Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Welcome to July!
It's been awhile since I did a weekly recap. It's time to get back to it! The Week After Marathon: The week immediately following Grandma's Marathon I didn't run at all. I did one [solidcore] class on Thursday morning. Saturday, I did my first "post-Grandma's" run, just an easy 4 mile with Matilda the vizsla. After the run, Dustin and I attended my friend Ericka's "Bells & Beers" Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Minneapolis in the Spring!
I often share "Fits on the Road" posts when I travel to different locations. Today, I thought it would be fun to share what I did during my parents' recent visit to MY city...A Fits on the Road Stay-cation- Twin Cities edition! They arrived Sunday afternoon from LaCrosse WI, where they had visited my younger sister, who was there visiting her in-laws. For the Sunday of their arrival, I had Continue Reading

We arrived on Friday, and as I wrote in this post, stopped for lunch at True Food Kitchen in Denver before making our way to the packet pickup. After packet pickup, we wandered around a bit at the shops nearby before finding our way back to our Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: The Greenland Trail 25k (and 50k) in Larkspur, CO
Dustin survived his first "ultra!" I tagged along and survived my first trail run (25k) at altitude. The word "ultra" marathon is such a broad term. I guess it means anything longer than 26.2 miles and most "ultras" are trail races. It seems that in the "ultra" world, the 50k distance is just a "beginner" race into the world of ultra long distance, with 50 and 100 milers being quite popular. Continue Reading
Where to Run in Singapore
I have added a page to the blog with posts about "Where to Run" in different locations. My idea is that this page on The Right Fits will be a helpful resource when you are traveling to different destinations and want to go for a long run (or a short run!) I write a lot about running in different locations, so this page will be a summary of what I have learned. This is where I need YOUR help! I Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Staying at a Ryokan in Japan
Our first night in Kyoto we stayed at a regular hotel, but the second night, we stayed at a traditional Japanese ryokan. Our ryokan was called Hiiragaya Ryokan and it was awesome. I thought I'd share more information on my experience a a ryokan, in case you ever find yourself in Japan and are interested in giving it a shot! Here is what you can expect. (Read about Hiiragaya Ryokan in this Continue Reading
