Fits Do (Future) Race Reviews: Get Lucky!
By Cool J in MinneapolisMy spring race calendar has changed just a tiny bit since this post, where I listed the Securian Run, Goldy's 10 mile, Borgess Run for the Health of It Half Marathon in Kalamazoo, the TC 1 Mile, and of course the Newport Marathon.

Fits Do Race Reviews: Securian Winter Run
By Cool J in MinneapolisThis morning I ran the Securian Winter Run, formerly known as the "Frozen Half." Well, let's be honest, a lot of us still call it the frozen half!In my "Fits Do Future Race Reviews post from a few months ago, I did publicly state that I was going to run this race, and I did register a few months ago. I hate to register for a race and not run it, but as the race Continue Reading
