Mountain Kait

DSC00559

I was dubbed “Mountain Kait” at the tender age of 16 while on a high school trip to Ireland. A group of us, including my longtime friend (since preschool and still best buds today), were hiking to an Abbey at the foot of a lake. While everyone was walking down a double track dirt road, [...]

Running Escapades

IMG_2873 - Version 2

Running is my adventure. I began writing about my running when I found myself intimidated by my new living environment. I’m a midwest girl now residing in the northeast. The weather and especially the hills chased me inside to the treadmill. One day, after seeing and passing runners in my car (again), I decided if they [...]

Trying to Tri

Disney Marathon

Are you a runner? Cyclist? Swimmer? Are you looking for a new challenge? Injured, and have discovered that you actually enjoy your cross training swim or bike workouts? As someone who learned to love running late in life, I rediscovered the sport of triathlon in an effort to find new ways to challenge myself physically. [...]

The Long Road

Banner Current

The Long Road is a journey in words.  It refers to the entirely delayed gratification of learning to be a healthier person and the challenging long term commitment that life long weight loss entails. Simply put, that road is a very long one – and like each of us the correct one for each person [...]

Fiterature

Living a healthy life can be intimidating.  There are so many voices telling us how to eat better, look better, and feel better.  And we listen to all of them, only to abandon another diet of eating only mint leaves and grape chapstick or get electrocuted by the latest fat blasting gadget that was supposed [...]

Speedy Cupcake

You may be forgiven for thinking that my site is actually a travel blog if you’ve stopped by in the last month or so.  The first two weeks of April, I took my dream spring break to several National Parks in the Southwest, and then spent about a week and a half recapping my extraordinary [...]

Fit-ographer

A fiery passion for fitness changed my life, and I want to share that with everyone!!!  Oh … and I am a photographer! So, Fit-ographer was born! After reluctantly starting my weight loss journey to rid myself of the 60 extra pounds I’d earned with children and an increasingly lazy attitude toward myself, I surprised [...]

Running the Windy City

detroitmarathon

You could say that I was destined to be a runner. My parents were avid athletes and runners, often racing multiple events in one season, and even running their first marathon the year before I was born. When I was very young, my mom would strap me on her bike and take me for 6+ [...]

Be Fit With Kristen

run for als

Fitness is not about a look, it’s about a feeling.  It’s about the high you feel after a great run. The strength you feel after completing a set of pushups. The excitement you feel when your jeans fit and the joy you feel when you receive a compliment from a friend.  Most importantly it’s about [...]

13 Going on Crazy

image003

13 Going on Crazy was conceived on the notion that I was looking for a challenge. And in the Battle of Marathon, Half Marathon that is I found it. I signed on for a deranged assignment. 13 Half Marathons 13 Months. 395 days. 13 races. 170.30 miles. One girl and a pair of Asics running [...]

Finding Joy In The Journey

Before: Size 24

There was a time in my life not long ago that I was so miserable and so unhappy. I weighed 278 pounds. Waking up each day and having any kind of motivation was something I fought with daily. The reality of what I had gotten myself into was so out of control, I thought there [...]

Chicago Runner Girl

CRG

16 years ago, as a timid and insecure teenager, I proudly laced up my first pair of running shoes and bravely joined the ranks of my middle school track and field team. I had never run before those first few shaky miles that left my 12-year-old ankles feeling so vulnerable and out of their element, but [...]

Living the Fit Life

living the fit life

Do you have that aha moment when you decided to start running?  I did. When I was younger, I was one of those people that hated running.  You know how when you are young and running means sprinting?  I didn’t know the meaning of pace yourself.  Run at a steady pace and you can go [...]

The Crazy (kind of) Fat

crazy kind of fat header

Do you sometimes eat whole pizzas?  Inhale devil’s food cakes?  Spoon cookie dough ice cream into your mouth until you hit the bottom of the carton or get a wicked brain freeze? I do.  And if you do too then you might have a binge eating disorder. After ten years of diets that ended in binge-eating [...]

Banana Bread Pancakes

Courtesy of What Would Jessica Eat. Pancakes are at the top of my “all-time favorite breakfast” list, but they are something I very rarely take the time to make. I actually kind of like that though, because it makes having them feel like a special occasion.This week I hit an personal mileage record, running (and [...]

The Soulicious Life

Hi, I’m SoulMamma! Like many women, I’m a wife, mother, friend, sister, and employee – and not necessarily in that order. It’s a precarious juggling act, but I have found that if I focus on the things I love in life, the things that are nourishing for my body and soul, I am more balanced [...]
