Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.*
I often ask myself how big or small my life has become. And do I have the courage to make a bigger life for myself? And then perhaps the more important question, “Where do I draw my courage from?” For me, my courage comes from those before me who have failed and thrived AND it comes from surviving my own failures.
Where do you find courage?
Here’s to finding courage in uncommon places!

June Fox (Moving Comfort) and the Title Nine Austin gals get silly while showcasing some of the many bras for sale
We run, we jump, we dance, we play. We are women. Active women, many who need some support to keep ‘the girls’ in place. But let’s be honest, finding the right sports bra for your fitness needs is no easy task.
That’s why Title Nine recently held its Bra Fit Fest Event at our retail stores across the country. Women of all shapes and sizes came together for an evening of fun, fit and function with bra-fit expert, June Fox, from Moving Comfort.
Having June visit was just like having our own Title Nine Bra Genie come to life. We rolled out the racks to help our customers find bras that would be comfortable and supportive.
The evening reminded us of the importance of getting the perfect fit. We’re all real women with real bodies and finding the bra that will work for us – whether it’s a one barbell or five barbell bra – gives us confidence in who we are, motivates us to get moving, and empowers us to achieve our goals in both sports and life.
Need more support? Our Bra Coaches are always standing by to help you find the right fit! If you have any questions about sizing or fit troubleshooting give our Bra Coaches a call at 800-342-4448. Or send us an email.
50km – that’s how far some of us will run, walk, hike and maybe even skip a bit on September 18th as we rise to the 2010 Title Nine Company Challenge. At least once a year T9 rallies behind an epic physical challenge encouraging all staff to participate by providing top notch physical training, motivation and financial support for race fees. Past Challenges have included a 24 hour relay run, the New York City Marathon, Barb’s Race & Big Kahuna ½ Iron Man Triathlons, the Marin Century Ride and a 90 day fitness challenge with Crossfit Oakland. This year we’re training for an ultramarathon trail run through the beautiful California redwoods!
Not all of us will run the full 50k, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be rising to the Challenge! Some of us are running the 10km, 20km and 30km legs of the race and there may even be a group of non-runners hiking part of the trail. It’s all about getting off the sidelines and into the game no matter how far or fast it takes you.
If you love a good challenge as much as we do, join us out on the trail – we’d love to see you! If you can’t make the trail run then be sure to join us at our 1st annual San Francisco Bay T9K on November 7th. Cindy Olivarri, our coach for the ultra, has developed a T9K training schedule to get you up and running lickety-split. The first training run in the schedule is on September 1st so get ready, get set and MOVE IT!
