My sister Laurie wrote this post to share her review of her Joovy Zoom360 Jogging Stroller- I hope you find this useful! Guest Post/Fits Do Product Review: Joovy Zoom360 Jogging Stroller Even before I was pregnant, I knew that I would want a jogging stroller. I think that any “mother runner” #BAMR or “father runner” (is that a thing?) would want one. So true to form, my husband and I started Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: A Birthday, Running Camp, & 76 Miles.
I'm behind on my "training for the Richmond Marathon" recaps, so I'm going to share last week really quickly and then move on to this week- my BIG push week! Week of October 5-11: This was a bit of an easier week. I had a global directors' conference at work, all day every day. My coach switched things around a bit, knowing that I wouldn't have as much time for higher mileage with lots of work Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: The Night Light Trail Run 10k
Last Friday night, I ran the Night Light Trail Run 10k at Battle Creek Park in St. Paul. There was a half-marathon and a 5k in addition to the 10k. You might remember when I ran this race last year, two of my friends got engaged (read all about it here!) They actually met at the same trail run the year before the engagement. This year, part of their wedding weekend festivities included the same Continue Reading

October represents so many wonderful things to me- my birthday, our wedding anniversary, marathons (especially the Twin Cities Marathon!), fantastic running weather, all things fall- pumpkins, apple picking, (#sobasic)- I could go on and on about all the reasons I love October. It's seriously my favorite month and it's off to a great start so far. Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion Friday: Knixwear Athletic Underwear
Whether or not you wear underwear under your running shorts or tights is definitely a fitting debate. I'll be honest- I don't usually wear them on a run with shorts or tights. On a very un-scientific poll of my running friends, most of them do not wear them either. Why? Most running shorts have built in underwear. It's one more thing to worry about; one more thing that could chafe or annoy me Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Trucker Hats from Mill City, Deck Removal, and Marathon Training.
Fall is here, but it doesn't feel like it in Minneapolis. We have had above-average temperatures all week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather changes before the Twin Cities Marathon this Sunday! Last week's 70 miles was intense, so I was happy to have a bit less mileage this week. Here's how it all worked out: Monday: 7 miles in the morning with a two run club friends Continue Reading
