Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had a great long weekend. I'm a little behind in my weekly recap, since I was focused on publishing my 3 Bridges Marathon recap- check it out!

Weekly Recap at the Right Fits: Base Training!

November 13, 2016 By Jessie Benson 11 Comments

What a week, wasn't it? Emotionally draining. But it wasn't draining because of the running; the running definitely helped. Here's how this week went in 'base training': Monday: 7.6 mile run with my friends Lindsey and Julia before work. 1 hour barre class at The Barre Edina after work. Love those barre classes; they are great mix of core, glute work, and some serious stretching. Tuesday: 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.)
