Running can be fun!

This year I ran my local #turkeytrot in a turkey inflatable costume! It was one of my favorite runs. Sometimes we just need to let loose and be a little goofy on runs.

Running an online thrift taught us a lot. 😌
Most secondhand systems weren’t built to support real bodies or real sizing variance, so we stopped doing things the “normal” way. * We measure every piece while ignoring tag sizes. * We built a measurement-based size chart that works across brands, eras, and bodies. * We over-communicate on l

Improving your Running
1. Go to a running shoe store and get a professional’s opinion on your gait! Replace your shoes every 300-400 miles. A good indicator of if you need new shoes is if you have the same pain on both feet or legs. 2. Fuel your runs! Eat before, during, and after your runs! If you are running more tha

How to get into RUNNING 🏃🏽‍♀️💨
I would NOT have considered myself a runner earlier this year. I've always enjoyed sprinting but long distance running was never my thing or something I was good at. But I decided to sign up for a 10 mile race in the summer to challenge myself and by surprise I slowly began to love running!!
