A few weekends ago, I attended an event at Mill City Running to mark the beginning of their partnership with lululemon . I believe Mill City is the only local running store that carries lululemon - pretty cool! The launch party included drinks, appetizers, and a free ($78 value) yoga mat for the first 50 people to purchase something lululemon ! I could bring a '+1', so I invited my Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion Friday: SmartWool Seamless Sports Bra Review
I'm pretty picky about sports bras; well, okay, I'm pretty picky about fitness fashion in general, but definitely sports bras. I have a lot of trouble with chafing and support and am constantly trying out new brands/bras to find the best ones for my running endeavors. I was recently given a SmartWool sports bra to test, (thank you to the great people at Gear Running!) I love SmartWool and Continue Reading
Fits Do Product Reviews: The Oiselle Spandos Jane Bra
Isn't this sports bra the most beautiful one you've ever seen? It's the Oiselle Spandos Jane Bra. I just love the pattern. It comes in several other fun colors, but the "Red Waves" pictured above was by far my favorite. I have worn this new bra for several runs and its quite supportive. The straps are adjustable, which is fantastic. Unlike some of the other Oiselle bras that come in regular Continue Reading

Fitness Fashion: New Balance for J.Crew
New Balance for J.Crew. New Balance + J.Crew = A perfect partnership! New Balance has been killing it lately with their fitness fashion and I am still a loyal J.Crew fan (even though some say their quality has decreased; I still love them!) A large portion of my non-fitness wardrobe is from J.Crew. With this new partnership, a portion of my fitness wardrobe will be from J.Crew too! A Continue Reading

Good morning everyone! I know that I said I was going to announce the Title Nine winner yesterday, but I ran out of time, so this here we go this morning. Matilda helped...with her 'merica flair! Actually, Dustin helped. I was back from my morning run in time to catch him to videotape the drawing of the winner. He can vouch for the fairness of the drawing. Everyone who tweeted and/or Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion Friday: Title Nine Bra Fit Fest and a Giveaway!
Boobs. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Running with boobs? It can be challenging....because boobs come in all different shapes and sizes! And truthfully, sports bras haven't always come in different shapes and sizes. And how about running for a LONG time with boobs (like 26.2 miles?) It can cause all kinds of pain and issues- chafing is my biggest issue (underarm and right Continue Reading
