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…

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.

A spring bank holiday weekend spent in Hampshire at a lovely dog friendly hotel: acreage of land for the pups to explore, an afternoon in Winchester, an afternoon at Highcliffe beach, & runs along the Basingstoke canal 🇬🇧🐶🏃‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️❤️

Ran the Hackney Half last Sunday and it was a blast! I quickly went online afterwards & registered for next year’s race 🤣 even though I don’t know how it will fit into marathon plans or other travel plans 🤷‍♀️…I ran it 4 weeks after Vienna for fun and fun it definitely was! 🎉🏃‍♀️🇬🇧 I actually don’t remember the last half I ran and this one was HUGE- 24,000 runners! But it didn’t feel too congested and was well supported- so many enthusiastic spectators! #hackneyhalfmarathon #hackneyhalf @hackneymoves #halfmarathon #londonrunner #instarunner #longrun

Coronation holiday weekend with our first non-family guests here in London; such a fun time with lots of special memories, leaving me with a strange mix of homesickness for Minnesota combined with the joy of sharing this new “home” with friends ❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🐶🐌🥳🍻🍷

Vienna City Marathon 2023, marathon #41! It was a

Vienna City Marathon 2023, marathon #41! It was a challenging one for me, the heat/sun (though not as sunburned as Boston 2022!), tummy troubles, painful side stitches (which can be from over OR under hydrating?) . But I’m proud of myself for sticking with it for the full 42km. The support was great, pretty flat course, LOVED that they played Blue Danube Waltz at the start line 🎼
.
Love for the marathon still strong 🏅🇦🇹❤️ Next up, Marathon du Médoc (def just for fun) and then Dublin!
