Today is the last day to save on your entry fee for Sunday's Minnesota Mile. At the end of today, the $20 fee ends and so does online registration. For $25 late registration, you must sign up in person at Fitger's Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. or race morning from 7 - 8:30 a.m.

I survived!  Friday I posted about Saturday's Dirty Girl Run.  I'm still cleaning mud out of places I shouldn't really mention here, but it was worth every scrub.

I'm getting DIRTY this weekend!

Maybe you're still nursing your blisters or your calf cramp, but it's not too early to start planning for Grandma's Marathon 2013!  Or maybe you didn't run, but would like to set a long term goal to run your first marathon, half marathon, or even 5k.

Get your shoes on kids, (adults too!)  it's National Running Day!  Even if you're not a runner, today is a good of a day as any to get started.  National Running Day falls on the first Wednesday in June each year. I started training for the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon in March...

Every once in a while you read a story or watch a video that is truly inspiring. Meet Matt, who has Spastic Cerebral Palsy.  This video was shot by his mom at a school field day event. Matt had the option to sit out of the event but he chose to run. He has said in interviews that if was not for the cheering and encouragement of his classmates he may not have been able to make it.

Are you ready, runners?  The running of the 23rd Annual Fitger's 5K is tomorrow morning at 9am!  If you're not running, there are still a few things you may want to pay attention to tomorrow morning.

We're just over 7 weeks away from Grandma's Marathon weekend!  Whether you're running the William A. Irvin 5k, the Garry Bjorklund Half-Marathon, or Grandma's Full Marathon, chances are you're training or thinking about training.  I started my training at the beginning of March and am following the Half-Marathon "Novice" training schedule...

I'm officially signed up for Grandma's 1/2 Marathon again this year.  Call me crazy, but I had so much FUN last year!  (I'm kind of being sarcastic, but mostly not.) The one thing I plan on doing this year that I didn't last year (although I had great intentions to) is to TRAIN...

Now that the kids have settled into their summer routines, make sure they're still getting out and staying active!  One of the most enjoyable ways is to bring the family down tonight for the kick off of the Young Athletes Foundation's "Wednesday Night at the Races...

Running. You either love it or hate it, right?  Well, I'm still on the fence with that one.  I played almost every sport in high school (including track & field) at one time or another.  But then I decided to quit the sports I was playing to concentrate on theater.
