Where Fitness and Fashion Meet

Fitting Debate: Pokemon GO: Failed Fit or the Right Fit?

July 15, 2016 By Jessie Benson 13 Comments

If you haven’t heard anything about Pokemon GO, you might potentially be living under a rock. I would look into that. Most likely, you have either heard of it, started playing it, been annoyed by discussions about it on social media, or bumped into someone on their phone who then yelled something about a CHARMANDER and then scuttled away... It’s true that there has been a lot of negative press Continue Reading

Failed Fit: My Second Month of Fabletics…

May 1, 2015 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

Today's Fitness Fashion Friday is a FAILED fit! Now, this blog is called the Right Fits, but I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. My second month of Fabletics was the WRONG fit. You can check out my first month of Fabletics here. The first month wasn't so bad- a decent pair of capri tights and an average tank top; nothing too exciting, but decent enough that I decided to continue for Continue Reading

Stitch Fix #4: Failed Fit…

September 6, 2014 By Jessie Benson 1 Comment

Okay, I know the blog is more of a running blog now, but the Stitch Fix recaps still somehow are kinda popular...so even though my most recent Stitch Fix was a flop, here is the recap for your viewing pleasure/displeasure. I have tried Stitch Fix four times now (past reviews HERE, HERE, and HERE.) If you're unfamiliar with Stitch Fix, this is how it works: 1) Sign up 2) Fill out a style Continue Reading

Failed Fit: I blew up…

May 4, 2014 By Jessie Benson 5 Comments

Well, I guess the hills were too much for this flat lander. Or maybe it was the sun and 70 degree temps...But I think it was the hills, as my quads are on fire now. Flying Pig is a really nice marathon- well-organized, GREAT crowd support, and a beautiful course....but a hilly one. Kelly left me behind (I asked her to) at mile 12-ish I think. Unfortunately, I positive split this thing like Continue Reading

Failed Fit: A Second Attempt with Skate Skiing

February 18, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I shared with you all my failed attempt to learn how to skate ski. Skate skiing is a different (and in my opinion, more challenging) style of cross country skiing versus classic cross country skiing. If you watch the Olympics, you’ll see both styles. In classic cross country, your skis move forward and back. With skate skiing, your skis push out, like you are ice Continue Reading

Failed Fit: “Ski” Skating…

January 13, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

By Jess in MinneapolissourceYesterday, Dustin and I took a ski-skating lesson at Hyland Park through the Three Rivers Park District. I signed us up several weeks ago, and I'm glad I did because yesterday was a beautiful warm winter day.We both have cross country skied a handful of times in our lives, but only in the "classic" technique. I had heard that "ski skating" would be much harder than Continue Reading

By Jess in MinneapolisHi everyone! I'm back in Minneapolis, and super pumped to be in town to cheer for all my friends this weekend at the Twin Cities Marathon (and remotely for my sister Cresta at the Milwaukee Marathon!) In fact, I've put together all my signs for Sunday, and I'm pretty excited about them!What do you think of this one? Ha! I figured it will make someone smile.Actually, for the 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.
