Some of us are slackers, some of us are busy, some of us are never freaking home. Some (me) are all three and take their exercise where they can get it. Then there are others of us who embrace their fatchickness even though they are weightwatchers lifetimers *WOOT* and they workout and then tell us […]
For the newbie runners and Fat Chicks Running viewers, who might get discouraged by the awesomeness that is the progress made by CarbKiller and Hogzilla: I’ve been searching for the perfect pink running shoe forever, watching the FCR blog from afar with envy and haunting Charm City Run (http://www.charmcityrun.com/) in search of a 5k to […]

TODAY’S GUEST POST BY FATCHICK JODIE! I’d like to post something about the benefits of hills. As much as I hate them, I love them. Why? Despite the puffing and aching butt doing a hilly run at least once a week gets me prepared for the next step up in the couch to 5k challenge. […]
