Hey friends! Remember way back when the Right Fits started, and I co-wrote it with my sister Laurie? Well, she's had a lot going on lately, but she's back today for a guest post about getting back to running post-baby. Please enjoy! “It took you 40 weeks to put the baby weight on, so don’t expect to lose it all in only a few months.” I cannot tell you how many times people said that to me Continue Reading

Last week, I was on a runner's high. It was the peak of my training for Grandma's Marathon. I had run nearly 76 miles (holy smokes!) and was feeling great! Maybe I was temping fate.

Fits do Race Reviews: The 2015 Brian Kraft Memorial 5k
This past Memorial Day, I ran the Brian Kraft Memorial 5k. It is a flat and fast race around Lake Nokomis. When I say FAST, I mean it! The winning time was 14:20!

I participated in this race as part of my running Continue Reading
