The following may be a bit of a controversial statement:
I am super excited for this year’s Rock ‘N Sole Run at Summerfest!
No really. Before you guys start, I know what happened at last year’s race. I didn’t run it, but I saw all the tweets coming from the course about the lack of water. I read the race recaps about dehydrated runners and lack of general organization. Oh, and I watched the local news reports. I’m painfully aware of how everything went down last year.
So when I got the opportunity to meet with the race’s new management team, I went in . . . → Read More: Rock ‘N Sole: Under New Management
By Tracey, on September 6th, 2011 Oh my gosh it’s fall! Here come the cozy sweaters, hoodies, tall boots, caramel apples and pumpkin spice lattes. Oh, and of course, fall races and events. After a summer of sweating and training extra hard (and for some of you runners, your longest miles to date) it’s time to start thinking about how you want to spend the “off” season. If you’re running a marathon this fall you’re probably still at the peak of your training schedule, but it’s not too soon to think about what you might want to sign up for once the leaves turn and the . . . → Read More: Fall into Fall Races

This is now a word in my vocabulary. I’ve been trying to run a 5k in under 25 minutes for over a year now. It was on my 2010 goals list, and I didn’t quite cross it off. After I got a 25:02 in November I realized it was possible, but to actually DO it was a different story. So I put it on my 2011 goals list as a carryover from last year.
I finally chased that goal down today. I ran a 24:31 at the Frostbite 5k!

As you can see from Amy’s awesome half-marathon recap yesterday, participating in races doesn’t have to be about being an elite runner. Yes, it’s no secret that a lot of the Fit Milwaukee crowd loves to run. However, did you know that a majority of 5Ks have a 2-mile walk paired alongside the running race? In fact, at many fun-runs a number of people sign up for the 5K distance and walk the whole thing.
Here’s some truth: Walking is not easy. I remember walking in the Komen Race for the Cure nearly 10 years ago. This was years before I had . . . → Read More: Walkers Unite!
By Guest Author, on March 18th, 2010 Fit Milwaukee welcomes John Mosey – he tells all about his first race experience!
It is Race Day, my first race day since I got up off an extended stay on the couch and decided to start running. After training for months and pushing and running and planning for weeks, I wasn’t nervous because I didn’t really have goals or expectations. Breakfast with the race in mind. Get dressed with the race in mind. Go to sleep the night before with the race in mind. One last check to make sure I knew were I was going, and when I had to be . . . → Read More: You, Shoes.

By Anne, on February 23rd, 2010 So you want to run a 5k this weekend? Join Fit Milwaukee at the Frostbite 5k in Nashota!
Nashota is nestled between the cities of Delafield, Oconomowoc and the Village of Okauchee. This course is a scenic out and back with rolling hills. There will be refreshments and live music by The Whiskey Belles afterward.
It’s really fun going out to these remotely located, smaller races, not only because of the potential for awesome quick road trips with your running buddies, but also because we have a better chance of placing in our age groups when there is a lower . . . → Read More: Frostbite 5k in Nashota
