I’m so unbelievably clumsy that it’s a little crazy that I don’t have a list of crazy fitness mishaps and embarrassing fitness moments that’s at least a mile... Continue reading
From Kristen: What Gets You Through?
Motivation fascinates me. It’s always astounded me how the right words from the right person at just the right time can take me to a completely new level. I can run faster, push harder, hold that pose a few seconds longer. I can just do better. Of course, it totally works the other way, too. I can be a bit of a head case, and while... Continue reading
From Tish: Listening to My Inner Pacer
It’s been a long time since I’ve “zoned” out on a run and used the time to think, focus and clear the air. Part of the reason for that is that my lungs are out of shape. I ask myself at the start of every run: How on earth was I ever able to run a marathon?! That seems like three lifetimes ago! I have THE hardest... Continue reading
From Erin: The Slooow Postpartum Slim-Down
I’ve been reporting on my postpartum baby belly over on Fit Bottomed Mamas. And while I feel like my progress has stalled in a major way, I’m glad I have these pictures to prove to myself that my stomach is actually deflating and I am actually getting somewhere, albeit slowly. These pictures prove what we’ve said all... Continue reading

But... Continue reading

Do You Set Race Goals?
Goals, goals, goals. They’re awesome little beasts. Race goals can push you to go faster, train longer or push harder (so many sexual innuendos there…). We’ve gone over the basics of good goal-setting before, but in the past couple of weeks we FBGs have been lamenting a lot about race goals and the “real”... Continue reading

A Stability Running Shoe That’s Actually Cute: Puma’s Faas 800
Faaster! Faaster! That’s pretty much what I hear in my head when I lace up a pair of Puma’s Faas 800 ($100), which the company sent me to test out at few months ago. My husband and resident Fit Bottomed Dude Ryan already shared a few of his thoughts on Puma’s Men’s Faas 550 (also a running shoe), so I thought I’d... Continue reading
Checking Out Reebok CrossFit, HQ and So Much More!
If someone had asked me what the first thing that came to my mind was after hearing “Reebok” a few weeks ago, I probably would have said those high-top white aerobics shoes from the 80s.
