I've said it on this blog a million times: a good sports bra is an incredibly important part of your running 'kit!' I've tried so many different brands and types and I definitely have a few favorites, but I'm always keeping my eyes open for new ones. I was really excited to have the opportunity to try out a Handful bra, thanks to the awesome people at Gear Running Store. I had heard of Continue Reading
Fitness Fashion Friday: “Wantable” Fitness Apparel
Have you heard of Wantable? It's very similar to Stitch Fix, but they offer subscriptions for a variety of items- regular clothing, fitness apparel, makeup, intimates, and accessories. I kept seeing ads for Wantable show up in my Facebook feed (apparently Facebook ads actually work, eh?) so I decided to give it a try. I am reviewing my first box here for you. If you decide to try it out, please be Continue Reading
Fits Do Product Reviews: Yaktrax Run & A Giveaway!

I did this post with tips for dealing with chafing and I definitely struggle with it.

FIts Do Product Reviews: The Athleta Forerunner Tank
Another great long run- complete! Yesterday, I ran 14 miles with the Calhoun Beach Running Club (I'm training for the OBX Marathon in November!) It wasn't nearly as humid as last week but still hot. Unfortunately our route did not include a lot of water fountains, so it definitely felt tough. For a hot July long run, it's important to wear light weight clothes that whisk away all the Continue Reading
