Thank you for stopping by!

This is my blog about finding The Right "Fit." I'm an avid runner, marathon enthusiast, and fitness experimentalist who uses my little space of the internet to share my passion for and experiences with running and fitness (...and a little about fashion.)

I write mostly about running and my quest to run a marathon in every state and every continent. But you'll also find some information about different fitness classes in the Twin Cities and more.

Welcome! Read More…

Last Cape Town post….I think 😆. What can I say, I had a fab holiday! 🥰 This is just a hodgepodge of pics, from runs along Sea Point, a helicopter tour, a rock hyrax (dassie?), Muizenberg beach, and more…

More Cape Town pics 🥰 Hiking in Cape Town (after giving the legs a few days off post marathon 😆) We first hiked Table Mountain via the India Venster route (with a guide, def recommend as the route isn’t clear and it includes exposed areas + staples and chains- I was outside of my comfort zone!) and then Lions Head on our own (much easier!) The guide was also key as I wasn’t aware of Blister Bush (Notobubon galbanum- sounds very nasty!)

What a memorable way to explore Cape Town 🇿🇦!

After the Cape Town marathon, we spent two nights at Leeu Wine Estate in Franschhoek (wine country outside of Cape Town), including a day on the wine tram. The wine tram has multiple routes; we chose the orange line. Gorgeous weather, great wines, fun post-marathon celebration!

We opted not to go on safari in South Africa on this trip but we still saw plenty of wildlife! African penguins Boulder’s Beach, ostriches on the Cape of Good Hope and baboons on Chapman’s Peak drive!

The @capetownmarathon was a BLAST, (despite the winds and heat 🤪) The crowds & support were so fun, and such a beautiful place.🤩 Will post more pics of Cape Town to the grid but we are on our way back to London after an incredible week in South Africa. 🇿🇦

Excited to see @two_vizslas_in_london_ (who were in great hands with our wonderful dog sitter Fiona)

Ein Prosit, ein Prosit! My first “real” Oktoberfest lived up to the hype, especially with a brilliant group of mates 😆.
