This month we meet Jennifer! She and I met in Lexington, KY at Run the Bluegrass. "I wanted to run back in high school, but didn’t because I didn’t have the courage or confidence to." How many of us can relate? I'll let her tell the rest. Meet Jennifer..... I live in Corydon, Indiana with my husband (Nathan) and two cats (Sir Purrs A Lot and Sophia). I work as a dental hygienist and just recently got hired to help at 502 Power Yoga which is the yoga studio I go to. My hobbies are biking, running and hiking, yoga, some swimming, visiting craft microbreweries with my husband, and I hope to travel more. I did Ragnar back in April...
In starting this business my main objective was to offer women running shorts and skirts that were longer, had big pockets and to take the intimidation factor out of buying running clothes. What it has become is so much more than that. Meeting my customers and specifically hearing your stories drives me forward. Sharing, connecting and supporting women through running. This is what inspires me. This is what I’m passionate about. My hope for this monthly 'Blyss Champion' feature is that it offers you some inspiration or feeling of connection to others in our running community. This month we celebrate Blyss Champion, Marsha. I met Marsha in Lexington, KY at Run the Bluegrass. She was actually our last customer at the...
I'm just settling back after a busy few days in Atlanta at the Peachtree Road Race Expo. It was a fantastic show for us. In fact, the busiest and best sales event we have ever done! It was lovely to see so many familiar faces in Atlanta returning to make another purchase or just stopping by to say hello. And I hope we reached some new Blyss Running fans too! I thought I'd share some of the feedback that I have received from customers since my return. I purchased a pair of the 8" shorts at the health fair on Sunday, before the AJC Peachtree race. I wore them in the race and they were fantastic! The perfect length, felt great...
This is the best part of my job, hands down! Meeting you and getting to share your stories is so inspiring to me. I hope you all are enjoying these monthly posts as much as I am! I met Rachel at the Flying Pig Race Expo this past spring. She lives in Ohio and has been a Police Officer for the city of Cincinnati for almost 20 years. She has two children ages 11 & 13. When she's not exercising, she enjoys going to Reds games with her husband and spending time with their dogs! Her kids have started to join in on some short mud runs with her which has been a fun adventure for the family! She has...
Mona is a mom, wife and civil engineer living here in Asheville, NC. You could say she is the one responsible for introducing me to running. It was her idea to get a group of us together to start a Couch to 5k six years ago. Mona has two children ages 10 & 14 and her husband is a professor at a local college. In my eyes, she does everything! I honestly don't know how she finds time to work, work-out, parent, volunteer and be as active as she is in our community! You may recognize Mona as she graciously gave her time to appear in photos that are featured on the website. Her favorite Blyss piece is her Trail...
