If you’re a morning runner like me, you have probably noticed that it’s pretty dark out there in the early hours these days. I don’t think the sun even rises until 7:30 am! So if you are fitting in your run in before work, you’re probably running in the dark. (Actually, if you're running AFTER work, you might be running in the dark too. Dark, dark, dark, all the time!) When it comes to dark Continue Reading

I had one woman that I coach who ran and it sounds like the heat was Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: Ragnar Trail Northwoods
Last weekend, I did my first Ragnar relay. It wasn’t the traditional road Ragnar, which consists of a team of 12 runners (or 6 for an ultra team) and about 200 miles of running, with vans following each group. Instead, mine was a trail Ragnar, consisting of an 8 person team (or 4 for an ultra) and about 120 miles of trail running. No van; camping instead! This version appealed to me Continue Reading

Guest Post: My Experience Running Through Pregnancy
I have a guest post for you today from my friend Paige. I met Paige through social media/the blog/the running community awhile back and then actually met her "IRL" this past year- she's awesome, and a very talented runner! I followed her on Strava throughout her pregnancy and was amazed by how much (and how fast!) she continued to run, so I asked her to share her experience with you guys. I know Continue Reading
