Change is one of the things I love most about life.
In 2009, I was sitting at a desk job (working in corporate wellness) miserable and unsure of what to do after realizing the job I coveted since grad school wasn’t the right job for me. What I did know was that I’m not a desk job kinda gal.
A colleague who I had cried many tears to during my short stent of wearing banana republic suits to work suggested I start a fitness blog.
A short time later, I left my “dream job” and launched Fit Chick in the City. The goal was simple, to share my professional knowledge and personal fitness experiences with more than just my personal training clients and class students.
When brainstorming a name and brand for myself, I knew that “in the City” was a limited name but for reasons unknown to me in 2009. Blogging changed everything for me. It opened doors to new adventures, new friendships and to a bigger world. The opportunities were thrilling and I couldn’t believe that starting a blog could make a few of my childhood dreams come true.
After the first few years, the newness wore off and I started to crave something different, but I wasn’t quite ready to give this and all it’s given me up. I had an identity I had worked hard for and wasn’t willing to give up.
A year ago I knew FCITC no longer fit me or my business goals but I just couldn’t let go. Well, a year or so later I’m ready to let go – finally!
Fit Chick in the City is saying goodbye as I officially re-brand and and make my new dreams come true.
You can now find me in the following places:

All the content here is in the process of being transferred over to a new blog. The new site will focus more on helping you become a better runner and I’ll also continue to share my running diaries as well as feature stories about other Race Pace Runners.

Change is indeed a part of life in order to grow. As you are making your transition out of FCITC I am just transitioning into blogging. It is people such as yourself that inspire others to try something new. I wish you the best of luck on your new adventure!
