Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon

Happy New Year everyone! Big plans tonight? We are going out to dinner with Dustin's family, but I have a feeling we will be home and in bed before midnight. Just the way this old lady likes it! :) Tilda wanted me to share a photo of her new cozy cove bed she received from Santa (see above photo). She loves it! Vizslas love to be under a blanket; in fact, she sleeps in our bed, but curls up Continue Reading

That post had lots of pics!) P.S. Congrats to everyone who ran the Chicago Marathon today! It sounds like it was a tough day out there. I had one woman that I coach who ran and it sounds like the heat was Continue Reading

Fitting Remarks: How We Chose Our Treadmill.

December 8, 2016 By Jessie Benson 9 Comments

After many years of wishing for one, we finally purchased a treadmill! Hallelujah! . It's my new best friend (after Matilda, of course.) We are going to be spending a lot of time together, this treadmill and me. And so far, so good! No one to hover over my shoulder waiting for their turn, no reset at 60 minutes. No need to pack a bag and drive to the gym. Nope! Just walk down a few 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.
