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…

Ruth and Matilda have been dying to share some exciting news- we are moving to London!

- Dustin was offered a really great opportunity through the same company to take on a new role in London.
- My company approved a transfer for me to our London office- same job for me (fun new office location!)
- I’ll be localized, Dustin will be an expat.
- The move has been in the works for awhile, but UK immigration was slow with visa processing due to Covid, staffing shortages, the Ukrainian war refugee crisis, etc. but we now have our visas so things are moving quickly- tentative move date is July 7!
- Though the delay was frustrating at first, I think it was meant to be, as it allowed me to be in the US for my mom’s last days and then her funeral. 😕
- We will be renting a flat in the city of London. Visitors welcome!
- Ruth & Matilda are coming with. We wouldn’t go if they couldn’t join! Happy to share details on how they are getting there, but Dustin’s firm set up us with an amazing agency that handles it all, @worldcarepet
- Some good friends are hosting a goodbye party/open house on June 25th. Text me for details, I’d love to see you before we leave. All are invited! 🇬🇧

Losing a parent is not easy and I question if it will ever even feel…a little less hard. But I am so glad that I have these wonderful people to miss her with…♥️

As I process losing my mom this past weekend, there are a lot of tears (and even some hyperventilating- didn’t know that was a thing 🫤) but these throwback photos of her in dresses she sewed herself (including her wedding dress!) bring me so much joy. I may not have inherited her skills but I hope I inherited some of her amazing style (& love of bright colors!) 😊

My sister Erin and I (+ our spouses) spent the wee

My sister Erin and I (+ our spouses) spent the weekend in Memphis for my cousin Elaine’s wedding; the circumstances weren’t great as to why it was only us as my mom has been in the hospital with pneumonia (+ other challenges) for the past 14 days, so the rest of my family couldn’t make it (it’s my mom’s sister’s daughter who got married & I know she would have really wanted to be there.) Yet my dad encouraged us to attend to represent the family so we made the most of it; here are a handful of highlights to share. 💕. #memphis #wedding #emergebuildingwedding #Tennessee

I finished marathon #39. It was a rough day for me

I finished marathon #39. It was a rough day for me, one of my slowest in a long time and I don’t know why but I do know I’m taking a break until fall (this was my 5th in 10 months.) I know I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to run this race but I’m struggling to find the positives. I guess the DPM (dogs per mile) was very high 🙂

Anyone have insight into all the candles around Lake of the Isles this morning? It definitely had a very cool effect! This was just one of 100 lit candles along the 3 mile loop. #lakeoftheisles #lakeoftheislesmpls #candlelit #morningrun #minneapolis #minneapolisrunnner

Before/after seeing @kolgram for the LAST time 😢 +bonus pic of her doing my makeup for my wedding in 2008 🧡 I’ve been seeing her for almost 15 years- I am so sad to say goodbye but excited for her new career path!

Just 11 miles today; 9 days until Boston! Took the dogs for a walk right when I got back from running & Dustin ended up sneaking up on us as he finished his run.

It may have only been 29 degrees when I started, but with the sun, it warmed up quickly. Shorts were totally appropriate 😊- hopefully not another fool’s spring 😆#bostonmarathon #bostonmarathon2022 #longrun #minneapolisrunner #dogwalk #sunshine

16 miles this morning (4 with Ruth) on a sunny 45 degree day 🌞
Also, 16 days until marathon #39; this will be my 5th marathon in 10 months, eeks. 😬 I plan to take a little breather after Boston (don’t hold me to it!) but am excited to experience all the fun of this historical race again first! Fingers crossed🤞 that I avoid all the germs🦠 that seem to be going around these days…
