The first ten people to comment below answering the following question will receive a FREE cling: “Who or what inspires you to work out on those tough days when you’d rather just stay in bed?” Stick it on your car window and show your love for Milwaukee-style fitness . . . → Read More: FitMKE Freebie!

As a runner, . . . → Read More: The Real Magic of the Marathon Relay There’s been big buzz in the running community lately about a little documentary called Hood to Coast. If you haven’t heard, it follows four very different teams of runners (ranging from beginners to old timers) who participated in a 197-mile relay race from the top of Mt. Hood to the beach along the Pacific ocean in Seaside, Oregon. That’s twelve runners, two stinky vans, and miles upon miles of rough, scenic terrain. After viewing the movie with friends on January 11th in a one-time-only screening that was shown simultaneously in many cities across the country, the internet was a-twitter with folks . . . → Read More: The Draw of the Super Ultra Mega Relay This Saturday is the big day!
