This is just a few light-hearted thoughts about Continue Reading

Tuesday Topics: Favorite Books of the Year

January 12, 2021 By Jessie Benson 28 Comments

This week's Tuesday Topic is "What was your favorite book you read last year? " This topic is a bit off of the normal 'fitness' track for me, though reading books is good for mental health, right? Even if the books I selected aren't running related, they were all great 'escapes' that I highly recommend! I'm linking up with Zenaida and Kim; be sure to check out their blogs for more Continue Reading

January 10, 2021 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

Wow. Another stressful week. And we thought 2021 was going to be better. Running definitely helped me work through the anxiety of what occurred.

Virtual 1:1 strength training after work with Discover Strength. I didn't even Continue Reading

Here's how things went for me in fitness this past week: Monday: My friend Christie took the week off of work, but she was still willing to meet for a morning run, what a friend.

Weekly Recap and a Weekend Getaway

December 18, 2020 By Jessie Benson 32 Comments

Another week, another weekly recap! Before I dive into a recap of fitness of the past week, be sure to check out my "Best Running Views" from Tuesday's post! Monday: After all my talk about how mild our winter had been in Minneapolis, we did receive some snow on Sunday night. Rather than stress about the condition of the paths, I opted for the treadmill on Monday instead. I had 9 miles on my Continue Reading

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.
