As I am out enjoying some fresh powder and hitting the slopes today with my family, I am so excited to have Sue, another awesome fitmom and blogger, taking over for me today. Sue is a boy-mom, an avid runner and a pediatric ICU nurse (you know my heart goes out to those kind). She […]
Fort 4 Fitness {Half Marathon Race Recap}
In September of 2013 I ran a 1:43:38 half marathon just 1 year and two and a half weeks after having my first child- that was my personal best. Averaging a 7:54 pace, I was not sure if I would ever be able to beat that. Fast forward two years later and just 1 year […]
Running Through Town
Yesterday I set out for 11 miles through my hometown- alone. Running alone is not usually my first choice, but this time it was my only option and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it. New Haven, Indiana I was born and raised in a small town- 9.8 square miles to be exact. It is […]
Total Body Run Workout for ALL Levels
I really love to run. There is something calming to me about going out, enjoying some fresh air, letting your mind wander and pounding the pavement. Whether I am all alone, with friends or pushing my munchkins in the BOB, I truly enjoy running. Running is where my fitness journey began. I know this is […]
National Running Day 2015
Happy National Running Day to all runners! What defines a “runner” anyway? I have mentioned before that I don’t really consider myself a runner anymore… and then sometimes I do. I love to run. I run a lot of races. I am decent at running. But… I don’t only run. I lift weights. I take […]
Five Weeks, Three Half Marathons {Race Recap}
I completed half marathon #3 of 2015 on Saturday and couldn’t be more pleased with my accomplishment. When I set my goal to run a Spring half marathon, I never thought I would run 3 over the course of just five weeks. I usually only run two half marathons a year so this was big […]
My 10th Half Marathon {Race Recap}
Last Saturday I went back to where my running journey began: the Indianapolis Mini Marathon, know as “The Mini” or the “Indy Mini”. This was my second half marathon in 2 weeks and I ran it under yet another alias: Bridget. If you remember from my last half marathon recap, I didn’t plan on running […]
My Running Favorites
It is almost May and in Indiana that means there are several half marathons within driving distance in the month of May. This weekend will be one of the biggest half marathons around and will kick of racing month in Indiana. The Indianapolis half marathon (I got chills typing that) kicks off the festivities for […]
Running a Half Marathon Without Training
Oh by the way, I ran a half marathon last weekend without actually doing a real training plan for the race. On Thursday of last week I thought, “it would be cool if I could run the Carmel race this weekend with all of my friends.” There is just something about the feeling around a […]
Pump & Run Race Recap
It seems that in the fitness world people are thrown into different categories or cliques: you have the runners, the triathletes, the cross fitters, the bodybuilders, and the group exercise junkies. I used to fall under the “runner” category- all I did was run. I still run and I love to run. That is not […]
