Remember this post, when I first announced that I would be running the Tokyo Marathon? It was a week before the Outer Banks Marathon. It seems like ages ago! On November 9th, I ran the Outer Banks Marathon after which I took 2 weeks off from training. Then I dove right back in to preparing for the Tokyo Marathon. Now I am on week 10 of training with only 3 weeks left to go! Here's how Continue Reading
The Right Fits Most Loved Posts of 2014
As 2014 comes to a close, I thought I should look back at the 10 most popular posts at the Right Fits of 2014. In October, I made a big change to the blog design and unfortunately, I lost a lot of readers. I'm hoping some of you find your way back, but even if you don't, I'll just keep on writing...because I really like doing it. It's my online journal. It's my creative outlet. And this year Continue Reading

So my afternoon activities will be dictated a little by the weather today. Shopping, perhaps? Technically this is not my first long run in Singapore, since I ran here four years ago, but it's my first long run of the Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Outer Banks Marathon
Yesterday I ran the Outer Banks Marathon. It was a beautiful point-to-point course that started in historic Kitty Hawk. It's advertised as mostly flat, with two "significant" points of elevation. The first was in the Nags Head Woods Preserve around mile 12 and the second was crossing the Washington-Baum Bridge leading to Roanoke Island at mile 23. Let me start at the beginning.

Fitting Remarks: Marathon Packing List

I am always worried that I'll forget something, so I put together a destination marathon packing list (though it could work for any distance race). This is my list for the OBX marathon, but if you were doing a colder race, you would need to pack much warmer clothes. In your carry-on Continue Reading
