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…

Marathon #43, the Dublin Marathon! . . It rained

Marathon #43, the Dublin Marathon!
.
.
It rained pretty much the whole race, though a few times the sun peaked through & we were treated to a few rainbows (luck of the Irish?🍀) The crowd support was incredible, even in the rain. “Well done, you!” “Brilliant running!” 🥰 I often count dogs to distract myself and a whopping 374 🐶were out there in the rain (14.2 DPM- it’s a record!)
.
Official time: 3:50:08, so missed a London resident Good for Age but made up for it in smiles. So much fun.
.
Well done Ireland! 🇮🇪 10/10 would recommend this marathon.

Running in Marrakesh! Dustin & I ran twice togethe

Running in Marrakesh! Dustin & I ran twice together and once for a longer one (13.1 miles) with a guide, Jonathan from @runningmorocco . The exhaust (and heat) from all the motorbikes makes the London air seem fresh 😆 I was worried about being hassled running but it wasn’t awful (though I didn’t run alone.) I saw about 25 miles of Marrakesh via running and am glad I didn’t just stick to the treadmill!

My 42nd full marathon was a unique one- the Marath

My 42nd full marathon was a unique one- the Marathon du Médoc, often referred to as “le marathon le plus long du Monde” or “the longest marathon in the world” as it passes by 23 châteaux that hand out wine to the runners. @dustinrbenson tasted every wine, I did maybe 1/2 dozen. Everyone also runs in “fancy dress” or costume with this year’s theme as “Gastronomy.” (Bonus, my sister @emariecantu & her husband participated too so we’ve been able to spend the past 5 days exploring the Bordeaux region with them, making some incredible memories 💙)

This @stuntpuppy leash has seen many MANY miles- more than expected, it was very durable! It lasted through all of Matilda’s running career (10 years!) and all of Ruth’s so far, including her running adventures around England- but sadly this morning it snapped (3rd pic) beyond repair 😑 and now to figure out how to source a replacement in London…. 🤔

Much-too-short visit back to the U.S. after a year

Much-too-short visit back to the U.S. after a year away 🤯: Minneapolis (including a day in the office), the cabin in Wisconsin with Dustin’s family + a day trip to Duluth, visits to some of my fav 🐶, lots of miles with friends 🏃‍♀️, a few breweries, lots of good 🍕 & of course, some homesickness. 💛 Now back in London again, reunited with the pups, and excited to see what year 2 has in store.
