Hot on the heels of our One Tooth Activewear contest, I’ve got yet another giveaway to reveal! We’ve already chosen two more experienced runners to represent FitMKE at the Summerfest Rock ‘n Sole Half Marathon this June, but now we’d like to announce another opportunity for the shorter distance runners out there. Specifically, we’re looking for beginning runners to strut their stuff at the Quarter Marathon (that’s 6.55 miles) and the 5K. Have you just started running in the past year or so? Maybe you’ve been quietly logging miles but have never participated in an official race before? Even if you’ve run a race or two, if . . . → Read More: Summerfest Rock ‘n Sole Run Giveaway: Quarter Marathon and 5K Edition!

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.

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: 1. I’m happy to be alive. All things . . . → Read More: Better Safe than Sorry Wow, thanks so much to everyone who entered our contest last week!

Before the race starts you can place your belongings, warm ups, and water bottles here, and during the race it will . . . → Read More: Tips for the Icebreaker Indoor Marathon Relay Kristina, Nick and Ryan all have kids in the same class at the same school.

About a year and a half, though I’ve been active in sports my whole life. 2. If you could run anywhere in the world, where would you run? 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: Summerfest Rock ‘N Sole Run: Under New Management Happy New Year!
