Last Saturday, March 18th, I ran the Hot Dash 10 mile race. This race is put on by the good people at Twin Cities in Motion (the same organization who puts on the Twin Cities Marathon, the TC 1 mile, and so many more!) Their races are always fantastic and this one didn't disappoint. Packet Pickup: Packet Pickup was held on Thursday and Friday at Fleet Feet. You could also pick up your packet Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: The Brian Kraft 5k
Hey, look who is pacing me again in that picture! Yep, it seems that all of my recent PR's (the Phoenix Marathon, the Fast & Furry 8k, and now the Brian Kraft 5k) are thanks to my amazing pacer!

It attracts a very competitive field. I ran this race last year, but it was right after the Flying Pig Marathon, so I was still in recovery mode. This year, I was ready to race! I participated in this race as part of my running Continue Reading
Fits do Race Reviews: The Salomon CITYTRAIL Loppet 10 Mile
(pictured above: our friends from THIS post who met at a trail race and are getting married this fall!) Last Sunday, I ran the Salomon CITYTRAIL Loppet 10 mile race! There is also a 10k option with this event. Let me tell you, this was such a fun race! It was probably one of my favorite trail races so far, and that is high praise considering there are a lot of options in the Twin Cities Continue Reading
