Right Fits Interview with My Sister Erin!

April 20, 2017 By Jessie Benson 3 Comments

I mentioned in this post that after Boston, my next running adventure will be pacing my sister Erin again. If you've been reading for awhile, you'll remember when I ran Twin Cities Marathon with her. It was so much fun for both of us, so when she told me she wanted to run Grandma's this year I was all on-board to run with her again! With that said, I thought it would be fun for you guys to get Continue Reading

January 8, 2017 By Jessie Benson 20 Comments

Another week, another weekly recap! I'm linking up with Jess at Jess Run ATL; join us! Details below. Here's how training for the Boston Marathon went this week: Monday: I had the day off of work for the New Year's holiday, so I was able to run outside in the sun! Yay! My workout was "Yasso 800's": 2 mile warm-up, 6x800m with 2 minutes in between each, 2 mile cool-down. The goal pace for the Continue Reading

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.

Full weekend exploring London, with a 16 mile long Full weekend exploring London, with a 16 mile long run on Regent’s Canal & Victoria Park, a visit to Borough Market, a walk with the pups to Shoreditch, dinner on Bermondsey Street, more running & lots of dog walks (+ meeting with a dog walker for this week when we both are in the office), and then the formal tour of the Tower of London. Covered a lot of ground. #london #exploringlondon #movetolondon #expat #londonexpat #runninginlondon #bermondsey #toweroflondon
Best reunion ever! I've been so, so worried, but t Best reunion ever! I've been so, so worried, but these girls were such troopers through a 4-day delay in Chicago when it was too hot for them to fly, to a 7-hour flight from Chicago to Amsterdam, 5 hours getting through customs, followed by a 9 hour van transport (via the eurotunnel) to London to be reunited with us. ❤️ So much happiness in my heart to be together again.

Ruth and Matilda have been dying to share some exc 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! 🇬🇧
