By Jess in MinneapolisIf you’re friends with me on Facebook, you know that I have a tendency to post a lot about working out.

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Electric Run KC
By LL in KCLast Friday, my husband and I ran the Electric Run KC. It was the first time I had done a night race and I was super pumped about my gear (particularly my LED green afro)!

I think it's something I'll face forever (or at least as long as I'm training for marathons). However, I now have a "secret weapon" that I'd like to share as today's favorite fit.
