Lululemon, Oiselle, Athleta, Lole...these fashionable fitness apparel companies are a few of my favorites. But there is a new-to-me name that has joined the party- Sweaty Betty!

Weekly Recap: More [solidcore] and Ready to Train!
First of all, congratulations to all the CBRC runners who did the Philadelphia Marathon today. You guys rocked it!

Fits on the Road: The Outer Banks
We have returned from our trip to the Outer Banks. Though my marathon finish was not what I had hoped for, I still enjoyed a nice little vacation while we were there. AND I managed to miss the first big snowfall in Minneapolis. I still watched the drama unfold on social media. :-) Accommodations: We stayed at the Surfside Hotel in Nags Head. Our room was a suite with a fridge, small living Continue Reading
