Running for gym, track & treadmill haters (guest post)

by

Let’s face it: gyms are stinky, tracks are so boring you’re lucky to make it around ten times before falling asleep, and treadmills are just ridiculous. Who wants to run on a conveyor belt? Most of us humans are under the impression that we’re not pieces of luggage, so treadmills are out of the question. So what’s a runner to do? Many of us are trapped in cities or suburban areas where gyms and ... Continue Reading

The best way I know to support people is to let them be their ... Continue Reading

Jared responds!(Subway Commit to Fit Giveaway)

by

Many thanks to Jared for taking the time out of his hectic life & running schedule to answer two of our questions. Are you enjoying the marathon training itself? Answer:  I am enjoying some of the training, lol.  I actually like the runs up until about 12 miles or so.  The longer runs I have done past 12 miles are tough.  My legs feel like lead pipes from that point forward.  The weather ...

Las Vegas RocknRoll course preview (guest post).

by

First off I'd like to thank Mizfit for this opportunity and for the help she gave in trying to find someone to run with me while I was in Las Vegas a month or so ago. (MizFit note: It was tempting to hop a plane and run with Gene' too (this was all pre-wrenching my back). Alas, I settled for begging for a guest post upon his return) Although no one answered the call, her efforts were greatly ... Continue Reading

We prevail (guest post)

by

Greg Hayes writes a fitness blog about fitting fitness into busy lives.  You can read more of his thoughts at Live Fit Blog, where he ruminates about fitness, parenting, and being mauled by little boys. Several years ago now, I determined I’d had enough of living an unhealthy lifestyle, and decided it was time to get right with fitness.  It was both an epiphany, and a disappointment to me, when I ...

Even when you’re done…you’re not.

by

Y’all can likely imagine my joy followed by spats of nervous bowel when the glorious MizFit asked little ol’ me to write a guest post for her blog which is simply fitness blogging extraordinaire!  Sort of like being asked to write an article for the New York Times, or something.  I hope that I will exceed her expectations and yours. Even when you’re done, you’re not… Imagine that you are ... Continue Reading

Are you my guru?

I have a big ole raging girlcrush on Wendy.  Her writing voice, her snarkasm, the fact she's fellow tribemember, that she totally believes, as I do, WE are the experts of our own bodies.

Struggling… (guest post)

by

Hello I’m Cynthia, I blog over at It All Changes and I’m not perfect. As a kid I loved playing with Barbie because she had no problems. Always able to fit into the perfect pair of high heels (her feet were sloped after all), she had the most amazing wardrobe for any job, party, or sporting event.  There were days I really wanted to be Barbie because she seemed to have it all. But then I grew ... Continue Reading
