Another week has passed. This summer is just flying by, isn't it? Another week means it's time for another weekly recap of my training for the Richmond Marathon! Here's how it went down this week: Monday: I met a few friends before work to beat the heat. I had the following workout: 6x1200m at a 7:40 pace with 1 minute rest in between. 1 mile warm-up, 1 mile cool-down, 7 miles total. This Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: Celebrating Your Girlfriends!
Girlfriends. Aren't they great? I have four girlfriends that I have known for my whole life (see below pics with 3 out of the 4 of them!) Yep, my sisters. Many years ago, I gave my sister a magnet that read, "Sisters by Chance. Friends by Choice." Blah. So corny! But so true! I feel #blessed (yes, I just did that...) to have these four people as lifelong friends. They Continue Reading

As you head out for a run this steamy weekend, here are some sure signs that you are a Continue Reading
Weekly Recap from the Right Fits
Hi there. It's been quite the week. Without getting into too much detail, my mom is in the hospital. Our visit to the cabin was cut a little short, as I decided to book a last-minute flight to Michigan to be with her on Tuesday night through Saturday. I still managed to get in some runs, but they were all over the place- literally. Monday: We were still at the cabin. My coach had me do 10 x Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion Friday: The Oiselle Distance Shorts
I have professed my love for the Oiselle Roga shorts on the Right Fits many, many times. Each time I did, someone would mention the Oiselle Distance shorts and how I really should try those as well. So I finally did! They were on sale a few weeks ago, so I quickly ordered up a size 4 in black. I wore these shorts for several short runs before making the decision that they would be my marathon 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
