Fitting Remarks: How Not to Date a Runner.
The other day, a friend of mine sent a group text to a bunch of runner gals about a first-date fail, where she ate twice as much as the guy she was out with and she ate it twice as fast! That text started a barrage of testimonies of other bad first dates specifically for runners. Apparently there are a lot of things you shouldn't do if you want to date a runner. This same group of friends gave Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: Packing for a Destination Race!
I actually shared this post a few years ago, but a reader just recently asked me for my destination race packing advice (Hi Rachel- thanks for reading!) and since I'm heading to Phoenix for a marathon in three weeks (and then London six weeks after that), I figured it was a good time to breathe some new life into this post. Packing for a destination race can be challenging; I am always worried Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: A Reflection on 2015.
As 2015 comes to its close, I decided to take some time and reflect on the year. I started 2015 on a three month work assignment to Singapore. I remember someone commenting then that it would be my "longest year ever" since I entered 2015 thirteen hours "earlier" than Minneapolis did, so I will get thirteen more hours this year, ha! I wouldn't say it ended up being a Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: The Psychology of Racing
Last Tuesday night, I attended a "Tuesday Talk- The Psychology of Racing" at the Mill City Running store. Have you been to Mill City Running? What a cute "boutique" running store! If you haven't been, definitely check it out. They host "Flapjack Friday" runs every week at 6:30 am. I went to one a few weeks ago and it was a blast! Back to the Tuesday Talk: This was a free seminar last Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: Celebrating Your Girlfriends!
Girlfriends. Aren't they great? I have four girlfriends that I have known for my whole life (see below pics with 3 out of the 4 of them!) Yep, my sisters. Many years ago, I gave my sister a magnet that read, "Sisters by Chance. Friends by Choice." Blah. So corny! But so true! I feel #blessed (yes, I just did that...) to have these four people as lifelong friends. They Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: 33 Things.
It's time for a light and random post! I recently read Erin’s list of 101 things. She is such an inspiring athlete and I enjoyed learning more about her in that fun little post. I thought I’d put together my own list. I couldn’t come up with 101 things, so I went with 33 things since this is my 33rd year of life. Feel free to link up with a list of your own- perhaps with as many things as you Continue Reading
