Tomorrow is a new day! It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change!
Sounds familiar, right?
It can be easy to get down on ourselves when we slip up with our diet and fitness routines. Heaven knows I am FAR less than perfect when it comes to being healthy every second of every day. Nobody’s perfect. I think that once in a while we even need those days where we give our body a break and cave into our indulgences. The real test though is seeing if we’re able to pick up again the next day and keep going towards . . . → Read More: Finding Balance
By Anne, on February 27th, 2012 Last month, we had the pleasure of visiting the One Tooth activewear clothing store at BayShore Mall.
What’s One Tooth? What does that name mean? What kind of clothing do they sell? When did the store open? Where is it?
Slow down, I’ll tell you ALL about it.
What is One Tooth?
One Tooth is an activewear clothing store. Think quality yoga and running gear, but customizable. I found out ALL of their pants will be tailored to your needs right there in the store. Also, anything you see in the store can be ordered in your selection of colors and patterns. This is . . . → Read More: Giveaway: Win a One Tooth Activewear Jacket or one of Six $25 Gift Cards
By Anne, on February 24th, 2012 We’re about to share some very cool news with you: BACON and RUNNING have joined forces for the inaugural Race for the Bacon 5k and 10k race.

By Tracey, on February 23rd, 2012 You may have heard a little something about the Icebreaker Indoor Marathon on this site over the past couple of months. Well, we like running in circles so much that we’re excited to get behind the inaugural HEATBREAKER Indoor Half Marathon coming this summer at the Pettit National Ice Center.
I know that everyone is enjoying running outdoors lately during this unseasonably warm winter we’re having but let’s think ahead to a little month called JULY. The temperatures can soar into the upper 90s. And the humidity? Let’s not even start. Now let’s think of how it will be a cool 50 degrees . . . → Read More: From Icebreaker to… Heatbreaker!
By Anne, on February 22nd, 2012 Mud Runs are the ‘it’ event right now! If you’re down to get down and dirty on a truly challenging and fun course, there’s another one to put on your radar for this summer: the LoziLu. This year’s event is June 9th at Crystal Ridge Ski Hill in Franklin.This is a girls-only, non-timed event!
There are 10-12 obstacles on the 3 mile course, they are as follows: Climbing, crawling, jumping, balancing, sliding, and scampering. I’m guessing we’ll be doing more than jumping over puddles, but nothing that is designed to hurt us. For example, in the FAQ it states there is NO . . . → Read More: LoziLu – Women’s Mud Run
By Tracey, on February 21st, 2012 One of my goals this year is to broaden my fitness vocabulary. More simply put: I want to mix things up a bit. Looking back at 2011, I was very proud of reaching my high mileage goal but the months where I had more variety in my workouts I felt like i was happier overall. For the past couple of months I’ve been peppering my schedule with dance classes, boot camps and yoga, and my body has been loving me for it.
Last week I headed out to Mequon to check out a little place called Velocity Cycling Studio. I’ve only ever taken once . . . → Read More: Mix It Up with Indoor Cycling

I’m sitting on an ice pack as I write this post. Why? Well… the story is a little dramatic.
I got hit by a car yesterday. As in my actual person was hit. While out on a run.
I told you it was a little dramatic. Luckily, I wasn’t seriously hurt. After a trip to the emergency room and a few x-rays later, I came home with little more than a sore behind and a bump on my elbow. As I’ve been recovering today though, I’ve had a lot on my mind. For instance:

By Tracey, on February 13th, 2012 Wow, thanks so much to everyone who entered our contest last week! You all gave such thoughtful responses as to why you should be selected for our prize that you made it incredibly difficult to choose a winner. In the end we decided that you guys are so great that we would give away TWO half marathon entries (and even then I wish we could have chosen more!)
So first of all let’s congratulate Jerod and Hayley for winning free entries to the Summerfest Rock ‘N Sole Half marathon! Jerod is a husband and father to five kids hoping to restart his training . . . → Read More: And the Winners Are…

By Tracey, on February 6th, 2012 Happy Monday! What better way to start out the first full week of February than with a contest? A couple of weeks ago I was excited to tell you all about all the promising new changes coming to this year’s Summerfest Rock ‘N Sole Run. Well, I now have a little proposition for you:
