Race Rundown

Can I just say that I love the magazine "Fitness?"
I have always bought Shape, Self - Love those too, but my friend's mom gave me her Fitness mag and it has some really great articles and tips!

Interesting Marathon Facts: (courtesy of Fitness)

This year more than 400,000 people in the U.S. will pound the pavement for 26.2 miles!

2 -- Pairs of sneakers a marathon runner goes through while training

25-29 -- Age range of the majority of female marathon runners in the U.S.

34 -- Number of marathons across the U.S.

50 -- Number of local bands playing at the Country Music Marathon and 1/2 Marathon in Nashville on April 25 ( April - We would LOVE that I'm sure, one day! one day!) haha

2,880 -- Calories burned by the average woman while running a marathon (Does that mean we will be burning approx. 1440???)

4:59:28 -- Average time of U.S. female marathon runners

51,214 -- Number of steps it takes the average woman to complete a marathon

  1. You're right, we would love the Nashville one. I will have to get Fitness Magazine, I don't think I've read that one...I usually read Shape and sometimes Self. I saw one at Walmart (but Chris was in a hurry so I didn't get to stop and see what it was about) called Runners or something like that...aimed just at people that run.
