Once again, on Monday, May 28th, we’ll lace up our shoes for another awesome Sisterhood Virtual Race! On Memorial Day, we’ll all run our own race, in our own place, at our own pace! It’s a Race to Remember! Registration is now open, and we’ll begin the Couch to 5K and Couch to 10K programs [...]
It’s what you’ve been waiting all week for! RACE RESULTS! I want to congratulate each and every one of you who got your butt out there and finished your event! I hope you enjoyed yourself, and that you pushed yourself hard! Before we get to the times, we would like feedback from you, so that [...]
Updated: Winner winner- Kristin>OneCrazyMamaof4, please forward your address to lisa@shrinkingjeans.net so that gift card can get mailed out to you. Congrats! I run. I bike. I swim. I go the gym. I exercise a lot. Away from home. You hear about things happening to people when they are out and about, something requiring medical attention [...]
I love getting new workout clothing and fitness items. I love it even more when I get a discount. Enter The Clymb. I first heard of the site when digging through my Fitbloggin swag in 2010. I actually just set the information aside, until one day when Christy mentioned it to me and I finally [...]
Well, let’s see. Today is Tuesday and I have lots and lots to confess, but I will try to stay on task. During the last 4 weeks, I have traveled FOUR times. That means I have eaten four times as bad as one trip out of town. My goodness. I have had the vacation mindset [...]
I’m taking a review of sorts, a review of me. You see, I have become complacent these last few months, especially the last month. There has been a beach vacation and then a lake vacation and lots of Summer activities. I have the three kiddos home with me and my husband has been traveling for [...]
We’re excited to announce Coach Joe English, our Virtual Team in Training Coach for Team Shrinking Jeans, will now be a regular contributor here at the Sisterhood! You can send your questions about running to support@shrinkingjeans.net, we’ll pass them on to Coach Joe, and he’ll post his answers as part of Mailbag Monday every two [...]
How did you do on the first mini-challenge? Did you get at least 64 ounces of cool, clear water in everyday for 7 days? If you did, you consumed at least 3.5 gallons of water, and your body is thanking you right now. Congratulations!! This week’s mini-challenge is in honor of the 13.1 miles Team [...]
Yippee! It’s Tuesday and I get to share with all of you, my friends, my internet peeps, my “confessions” for the week. For all it’s worth……………….. The Good I exercised HARD last week- Monday (weights), Tuesday (running), Wednesday (elliptical), and Thursday (mini-triathlon). Say what?! A mini-triathlon? As in, swim 500m, bike 12 miles, AND run [...]
Seriously, if you would have asked me a year ago what I was going to do on Thanksgiving Day 2009, my plans would not have included getting up at 6:30am to run a 5k even though it was only 49 degrees outside after being diagnosed with a sinus infection less than 24 hours before. But [...]
Today, instead of True Confessions, we’re going to talk about how our 5K’s went this weekend!! Right now, as you’re reading this, I’m probably headed back home to Virginia! But on Saturday, I ran my Sisterhood Virtual EA SPORTS Active 5K with Christy and Amanda! Christy plotted our course well in advance. It was a [...]
I hate shoes. More accurately, I hate shoe shopping. My feet are big. They are an odd size that isn’t normally carried on store shelves. I also have very narrow heels. When I started taking up running (which was actually several years ago…this is just the latest incarnation), I knew that I needed to get [...]
How many of us get tired of the same.old.work.outs? How many of us get so tired of the doing the same routine every single day that we have just quit because we’re bored? Come on, raise your hands. I’m raising my hand, too. Well, did you know that when we do the same work outs [...]
