Third Time’s the Charm?
Happy Holidays from the Technically Running Crew – Meagan here! There have been some BIG changes since the last time we updated this blog in 2017. In that time we… Moved to a new city for my new job.

A Fresh Start
Hello again! It has been almost a year and a half since our last post on Technically Running, and to be honest, for much of that time, I wasn’t sure if we’d ever come back to it.

Not only are my legs several inches longer than most people’s, but I have a generous helping of thigh and butt relative to my waist. This means that I am often forced to buy jeans that are an inch or two too large in … Read More

Before our wedding, I managed to lose about 25 pounds of it by counting calories and running and was very happy with my progress. That said, because I … Read More
