Happy Wednesday! No, I didn't quit blogging, just got a little behind. You can't get rid of me that easily! Let me catch you up on my weekly recap from last week. I am now 16 weeks away from the Richmond Marathon! Monday: Easy morning 10k with a few run club friends Tuesday: Hill repeats with my run club. I wrote about the particular hill that we train on in this post. It’s on Kenwood Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: The 2015 Torchlight 5k
Last Wednesday night, I ran the Torchlight 5k. I have participated in this race for many years, though this was only the 4th time since the "birth" of The Right Fits blog (read about 2012, 2013, and 2014; 2011 was cancelled due to extreme heat.) The Torchlight 5k is such a fun event! I recommend this race for all types of runners. First of all, it's on a Wednesday night! So even if you're 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

Weekly Recap from the Right Fits
Hi there. It's been quite the week. Without getting into too much detail, my mom is in the hospital. Our visit to the cabin was cut a little short, as I decided to book a last-minute flight to Michigan to be with her on Tuesday night through Saturday. I still managed to get in some runs, but they were all over the place- literally. Monday: We were still at the cabin. My coach had me do 10 x Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Welcome to July!
It's been awhile since I did a weekly recap. It's time to get back to it! The Week After Marathon: The week immediately following Grandma's Marathon I didn't run at all. I did one [solidcore] class on Thursday morning. Saturday, I did my first "post-Grandma's" run, just an easy 4 mile with Matilda the vizsla. After the run, Dustin and I attended my friend Ericka's "Bells & Beers" Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: A Random Running Survey!
Happy 4th of July! I don't have anything special planned for you today, so I thought I'd share my answers to a running survey that I saw on Hungry Runner Girl's blog. I'd love for you to answer the questions (or at least some of them!) in the comments or, if you have a blog, share your responses there! Who doesn't love a random survey? And what's more random than my header photo of a tomato Continue Reading
