Last night, during a short break in the rain, two of my running buddies, Dustin and I participated in a #CITYTRAIL Race. This “choose-your-own-adventure” type race was sponsored by Salomon and Gear Junkie. It was also an opportunity to test a new app by Salomon called “CITYTRAIL”- you can download it for free for your iPhone or Android. This race was 90 minutes long, and it included 9 Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: Guest Post- The London Marathon
Last September, Dustin and I ran the Berlin Marathon (if you missed it, you can read all about it HERE!) It was our first international marathon. As fun as it was, we definitely can't plan every marathon around such a big trip. In other words, we won't be running international marathons every time. (What? You're saying Cincinnati won't be as interesting as Berlin? Ha!) Fortunately for you Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: #BostonStrong
I don't know about you, but I wasn't really that productive at work yesterday. I was pretty distracted tracking all my friends at the Boston Marathon, and staying on top of all the results! All of the Calhoun Beach Running Club runners who were there did so well! I'm so inspired and impressed. And it was so cool that Meb won, especially since there hasn't been an American winner since Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Easter and More…
Happy Easter! Did you do anything fun to celebrate? Search for eggs, or give/receive a basket? Neither Dustin's nor my family is nearby, so we were on our own for the holiday. I did make Smitten Kitchen’s Baked Eggs with Spinach and Mushrooms…yum! We paired it with a big fruit salad mixed with peach pie filling…so good! source In fitness this past week, my mileage Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: How To Get Ready Quickly After a Morning Workout!
Sorry to any male readers out there- this post is written primarily for the ladies! A reader asked me for tips for getting ready before work as quickly as possible after you work out. I feel like I am always crunched for time in the AM, so I have tried to decrease my “primping” time for the morning. It seems as though the less time I have, the quicker I can manage to get ready! These Continue Reading
Fit Fanatic: #TBT- Fitness From a Young Age!
It is time for a little #TBT, i.e. Throwback Thursday! Let me tell you, I have been a fitness fanatic for a very long time.... Did anyone else work out to the "Get in Shape Girl" cassette tape? Well, I did! I would fill the hand weights with water, and do my bicep curls in my little leotard. I think there was lots of stretching, legs lifts, and jumping rope. Teach 'em at a young Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion: Sweaty Bands!
I have posted on the blog multiple times about my love of BIC bands which are fitness headbands with velvet on the underside which keeps them in place. They are really awesome headbands, and I had a really great experience working with the owner on our custom Calhoun Beach Running Club bands a few years ago. Aren't they lovely? There's still 2 left if you want one! In addition to BIC bands Continue Reading
