5 Habits of Highly Effective Runners

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}

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

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

June 30, 2015 By Hollie 16 Comments

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

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}

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 […]

Running a Half Marathon Without Training

April 23, 2015 By Hollie Leave a Comment

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

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 […]
