Biggest Losers Running Detroit Marathon

Mike — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:28:14 +0000

This upcoming Sunday, October 15, some familiar faces will be running at the Detroit Marathon. I’ll be running the half-marathon (one full was more than enough for me) alongside fellow Biggest Loser Season 7 contestants: Helen, Damien and new lovely wife Nicole, Carla. Some faves from Season 6 will also be running: Coleen, Amy C. and Shellay; and from Season 2, Pete Thomas.

Pops (Ron, my dad, if you didn’t know) is going to be doing the 5k, but is having knee surgery this month, so its all still up in the air. Renee, mother of Michelle from season six, will also be doing the 5k.

There are tons of events going on this weekend for the marathon, half, and 5k, and spots still open to run/walk/jog/skip/whatever – so come out, and have some fun!

P.S. I’m trying to get Max to do something, so we’ll see if he shows up. He’s lost 115 pounds by the way…

Running Tips and Tricks from the BlogHer 5K

Carmen — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:01:05 +0000

The weekend of July 24-26 2009 was the BlogHer conference. A wonderful, enjoyable, overwhelming weekend of fun and excitement that occurred when 1,400 women descended upon Chicago. A group of women decided that it might be fun to get together for fitness Friday morning, and so the First Annual Blogher 5K was born. I originally planned to run it, but I met up with a group of friends and we walked the race. While walking, I interviewed a couple of ladies and picked their brains for fitness tips, hints and tricks. Here’s what they had to say:

First up, Laurie recommends music, Deb suggests using Google Maps Pedometer and Karen promotes stretching.

Next, Christina benefits from walking and running intervals and Marie says to just keep going!
