Happy Sunday!What's happening this week in fitness?This past week was a pretty good one for running.Monday: After we finally returned home from our botched-up flight from Turks & Caicos, I headed out for an easy Calhoun/Harriet (about 7.75 miles from my house). I didn't wear my Garmin, but let myself go as slowly as I felt like going. I was tired from the trip, and didn't want to worry about Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Turks & Caicos- All About Conch
We have returned safely to Minneapolis after our getaway to Turks & Caicos! It's always so hard to return from a vacation, isn't it? It was a lovely trip, though a not-so-lovely travel day back to the U.S. Our flight was delayed from Turks & Caicos due to a mechanical issue, so we arrived in Charlotte an hour late. When we got there, customs was really backed up, so we were stuck on Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: A Long Run in Turks & Caicos and More Island Fun…
Hello, hello, from Turks and Caicos! I haven't had a lot of time to check in here on the Right Fits while on vacation.

We are in need of some Vitamin D! So where is Continue Reading

If you have been reading the blog for awhile, you know that I have struggled (like so many other runners) with IT band issues in the past.I foam roll regularly, and I have really tried to strengthen my butt and core (with barre classes, yoga, plank challenges!). I try to do the right things to stay on top of this issue, but sometimes it still flares up. I am starting to think it will plague me for Continue Reading
