Weekly Recap: 17 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon

July 9, 2017 By Jessie Benson 10 Comments

Summer is in full swing over here! Today's weekly recap post is full of pictures of summer fun here at the Right Fits, mixed in with some training for the New York City Marathon. Monday: I ran 7 miles with Dustin at the cabin, 8:40 min/mile pace; he went on for another 7 for his long run and definitely negative split that run :) Tuesday: Still at the cabin and I had a workout to do: 2 mile Continue Reading

I'm a day late with my weekly recap- so sorry! We spent the holiday weekend at Dustin's family's cabin and the internet service there is not great. I hope you all can link up still with Jess and me. Details below! Here's how my week of training for the New York City Marathon 2017 went: Monday: 7 morning miles with my friends Lindsey and Christie. Barre after work at the Barre Continue Reading

Hello there! I'm hoping to make today's post short and sweet. I'm linking up as usual with Jess from Jess Runs ATL for our weekly recap. Details at the end of this post! Monday: Barre at the barre. Still recovering from 26.2 on Saturday.

Weekly Recap: Grandma’s Race Week!

June 18, 2017 By Jessie Benson 9 Comments

Hi all! I'm here as usual with my weekly recap. This week? Race week! I’ll be honest, I was forecast stalking all week. I have three different weather apps on my phone:  Dark Sky, Weather Channel, and AccuWeather. I knew it was going to be a warm day, but I was hoping that it might rain on us to keep us cool...Spoiler alert: it was a hot and humid one in Duluth! Since I wasn’t racing the Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 1 Week Until Grandma’s Marathon

June 11, 2017 By Jessie Benson 12 Comments

This post should really be named "how to deal with IT band syndrome," as I feel like that was the focus of my week! (Actually, that's not a bad idea for a post...stay tuned!) Monday: Rest from running. Barre class after work at Pure Barre. I usually don't go to Pure Barre; it's not that I don't like it, but the Barre Edina is more convenient and I like their classes just a little bit more (they Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Four Weeks Until Grandma’s Marathon with my Sister!

May 20, 2017 By Jessie Benson 13 Comments

Happy Sunday! I'm here with my weekly recap and happy to share that I'm feeling a lot more normal again,  (post-concussion, etc). This week was pretty solid in training, here's how it went; Monday: [solidcore] Tuesday: 4 hot (upper 80's!) miles with Matilda after work. Wednesday: 7.5 miles after work. Around mile 6.5, it started to get really dark and windy. I tried to pick up the pace to Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Easing Back into Running…

May 14, 2017 By Jessie Benson 10 Comments

After last week's little health scare (if you missed it, I fainted in the shower and took quite a fall), I had to take it easy for a few days- doctor's orders.  I'm also dealing with some new (unrelated to the fall) aches and pains in my left leg; I'll definitely be going to Orthology this week for some soft tissue work. With that said, I still was able to run & workout a bit this week, but Continue Reading
