The Right Fits

I’m linking up today with Kim and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics! Kim and Zenaida's suggestion for this week is to share your best running views! I decided to focus on my local views, rather than the views I've seen in other parts of the world. Here they are! A sunrise or sunset around the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. I feel fortunate to live where I can run out my Continue Reading

Our mild-ish Minneapolis winter has continued another week; we don't have any snow or ice to push me to the treadmill. So I'm taking full advantage for now and getting outside as much as I can! Here's how this past week went in fitness: Monday: 7 miles solo and then I picked up Ruth for two at the end, 8:58 min/mile average. Discover Strength virtual 1:1 after work. I know I mentioned this Continue Reading

I’m linking up today with Kim and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics! Their suggestion for this week was to share race bling from the year. But this was a not a banner year for me for race bling, as I only did one marathon (Atlanta) and one 10k; no virtual races for me, and minimal bling!

We made it to the final month of 2020! I'm optimistic that 2021 will be a much better year- fingers crossed! If you missed it, I shared some holiday gift ideas for runners on Tuesday, catch up HERE. Here's how this past week went in fitness! Monday: 7 miles before work, 9:15 min/mile. It was probably overkill to wear a gaitor, but my face was pretty chilly in the beginning. I warmed up Continue Reading

I’m linking up today with Kim and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics: Holiday Gifts for Runners! I didn't want this post just to be a repeat of my "Favorite Running Brands"- that post has a lot of ideas for gifts as well! There are a few repeats in this post, but generally a bit more specific (and this post includes some affiliate links, for the record) but instead of Continue Reading

Happy Thanksgiving! Kim from Kim Runs on the Fly put together this cute little collage of the bloggers who participate in this link-up, doing our Thanksgiving runs. It's a great little virtual community! Also, if you missed it, I shared all the reasons I'm grateful for running this year in THIS POST.My Thanksgiving week included a lot of running; I'm doing a two-week running challenge Continue Reading

I'm linking up today with Kim and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics: Why I'm Grateful for Running This Year! 2020 has been quite a year, hasn't it? And it's not even over yet! I know I've been pretty lucky overall, I completely acknowledge that. But that doesn't mean that there haven't been some lows throughout the year of 2020: the death of my grandfather from Covid was a significant Continue Reading
