Hello Sisterhood readers. It’s time for the Mailbag Monday segment with your running questions. This week we’ll look briefly at two questions from Sisterhood members and see if we can clarify some things. Our first question comes from Karena and goes like this: “I’m power walking the Disney half marathon in January, and am looking [...]
Let’s hear about those races you’ve finished this past week! Link up below. Inspire us.
Hello sisters. It’s time for our next installment of ask Coach Joe about running and fitness. We have one question this week that has to do with run/walk intervals Get your questions answered here every other Monday, by writing in or commenting on a post. Jen, who is training for a half-marathon, brings us her [...]
Psssst…can I tell you a secret? I’m not a big fan of working out. (ducks the rotten tomatoes) I’ve never really been a big fan of working out. I know that I have to. And I know that it’s good for me. But I don’t usually get that sense that endorphins are rushing through my body [...]
Today is National Running Day, a day we celebrate our love-hate relationship with running with people all across the country! What perfect timing, as me and the other 13 members of Team Shrinking Jeans are busy packing and taking care of last-minute details before we head out west to San Diego for our long-awaited 1/2 [...]
Today marks the start of RUN A MILE DAYs, hosted by the American Running Association! That’s right! Between today and Saturday, May 8th, we are encouraging EVERYONE, young or old, male or female, marathon runner or couch potato, to get up and get those legs moving for ONE MILE! No excuses, each and every one [...]
This is the time of the week where we confess our missteps and good intentions gone awry. Did you survive Superbowl Sunday (*sniff*) without going overboard or did you give into the salty, creamy goodnesses that often accompany the event? Go now, GO! Confess. True Confessions of Melissa 1. We spent the weekend on location [...]
Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a safe, fun, and healthy holiday, and that no one is hungover today (right?!). Our new challenge, Rethink Your Shrink, is all about joining the revolution by stepping outside of your comfort zone. Well, we at the Sisterhood are stepping WAY outside of our comfort zones and committing [...]
**I was beyond excited when Kirsten approached me with this idea! As you may know, I participated in Team In Training for my first (and only!) 1/2 marathon a few years ago. I walked most of it, but it was the most awesome and rewarding experiences in my life.** From Kirsten: Hi everyone! I have [...]
This weekend we are holding the Sisterhood Virtual 5K, along with EA Sports Active! Woot! How has your training been going? Are you planning on trying to run all of it or stick to a run/walk combination? My Team Bismarck 5K is going to be held on Saturday and while I didn’t train this time [...]
I asked Beckie from BornFit if she would consider doing a guest post for us and lucky for us, she agreed! Here is what she has to say: Before my husband and I had children we hiked just about every weekend. Since the children came along we have sort of left our hiking adventures behind. [...]
Well, maybe he isn’t exactly a BABY, but I will forever call the twins “my babies” and I think secretly they like it, despite the outwardly protests. Awhile back, I wrote about participating in races to benefit charities. This past weekend, I signed up to do a 5K for Sherry’s Wishes, a local organization in [...]
One of my biggest issues is exercise. I’m not an active person, I never really have been. I make an effort, but I just really don’t like to exercise. Go, me! Realizing that I need to do SOMETHING, I wear a pedometer every day. It really is motivating to see exactly how many steps I [...]
I know we have tons of runners in the Sisterhood, and even more wanna-be runners (like myself!), and we are all capable of walking. There is no better motivation than participating in an event for a good cause! Everywhere you look, you can find 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and even marathons and they are often [...]
