The Right Fits

It was a busy week over here at the Right Fits, both in training for the Idaho marathon and in non-running life. Here's my recap! Monday: Solo 8 mile morning run, nice and easy 9:30 min/mile pace Barre class at the Bar Method after work. It had been so long; it felt great to be back 'to the barre.' The studio was lovely and the staff was welcoming. They even gave me a little epsom salt Continue Reading

Hello friends! Another week, another weekly recap of training for the Idaho marathon in just 9 weeks! Here's how fitness went this past week: Monday: I woke up to pouring rain and decided to wait to run; instead, I just started my workday early. Then when there was a break, I snuck out for an intentionally easy recovery run: 8 miles, 9:30 min/mile pace. I even wore my "recovery" shoes, my Continue Reading

On Tuesdays, I've been linking up with Zenaida and Kim for their Tuesday Topics link-up about various running topics. This week was a 'free week' to write about whatever you want; this was perfect, as I have a farewell to a running friend that I wanted to share. I met Phil Brown through my job at a previous employer; he worked for a technology company out of the UK that developed a system we Continue Reading

Only 10 weeks unto my 35th marathon and first one of 2021! Can't wait to conquer 26.2 miles again at the end of June. Here's a recap of my training (and life!) this past week: Monday: A sleepy 8 mile run, solo, before work. After shorts and a tank top on Sunday, it was below freezing with lots of wind and even some snowflakes! Not my favorite run, but I got it done. 9:20 min/mile Continue Reading

Kim and Zenaida’s Tuesday Topics link-up for today is all about your pre-long run or pre-race routine! Read on to hear my thoughts. I thought about sharing my pre-race routine, but I'm a little out of practice with races, ha! But I've been consistent with my Saturday long runs throughout the pandemic. So I thought it would make more sense to share my pre-long run Continue Reading

Hello and welcome to my weekly recap! 11 weeks until I (hopefully) run my 35th marathon, 24th state on my 50-state quest, and 1st marathon post-pandemic / post-vaccination! Before I delve into training, be sure to check out Tuesday's post about my favorite podcasts! Here's how this week went in training for the Idaho marathon! Monday: I had a 7 am meeting, so no time for a pre-work run. Continue Reading

Kim and Zenaida’s Tuesday Topics link-up for today asks if you listen to podcasts while you run, and if so, what are some of your favorites? Read on to hear my thoughts! To be perfectly honest, I don't listen to podcasts that often when running because I often run with friends and I'm there for the company and the conversation. However, during the strictest part of Covid Continue Reading
