Weekly Recap: One Week to Go!

October 29, 2017 By Jessie Benson 14 Comments

It was a fun-filled week here at the Right Fits with lots of Halloween celebrating and whatnot, mixed in with another week of training for the New York City Marathon, which is just one short week away! If you missed it, I shared two posts this week, gear tips for running in the dark and a reflection on the past 18 weeks of training for the NYC Marathon. Check them out! I'm here as usual with Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Four Weeks Until The New York City Marathon

October 8, 2017 By Jessie Benson 16 Comments

Happy Sunday! Today's post will be short and sweet. It was a relatively uneventful week. I don't even have very many pictures to share...(but did you check out my Ragnar Trail recap? 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

Weekly Recap: Home Sweet Home!

September 3, 2017 By Jessie Benson 23 Comments

My first full week back in the United States- woo-hoo! I had a great experience in India, but there's no place like home. And while I struggled to get the training in while I was overseas, it felt great to get back to it this week back in Minneapolis- where it's EASY to be a runner! I'm linking up as always with Jess from Jess Runs ATL, details below. Here's how last week's training for the Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the NYC Marathon

August 27, 2017 By Jessie Benson 25 Comments

Hello from Minneapolis! I am back in the good ol' USA and so happy to be home. I still had one last week in India; here's my recap. Linking up as always with Jess Runs ATL. Join us! Monday:  I woke up to more torrential rains, a dead phone, and tired legs (post half marathon)...I was pretty grumpy. I slogged through 8.5km (5.3 miles) on the treadmill with no music, no podcasts, nothing. Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The IDBI Mumbai Half Marathon

August 24, 2017 By Jessie Benson 8 Comments

Last Sunday, I ran the IDBI Mumbai Half Marathon. Saturday Expo: The expo was held on Thursday/Friday/Saturday, but since I had to work far away from the packet pick up, Saturday was my only option. I had my driver take me to the University of Mumbai Kalina campus, where the expo was being held at the sports complex there. It was interesting to see the University campus...very different Continue Reading

12 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon, Week 3 in India!

August 15, 2017 By Jessie Benson 7 Comments

So sorry to my link-up friends, as I am behind with my post this week, mostly because I wanted to get this recap of Jaipur up and now Dustin is here in Mumbai, so I just haven't had any downtime to blog. Better late than never! Here is how training for the NYC marathon went this week: Monday: My first run at my new hotel, located in Bandra Kurla. Since I didn't know my surroundings yet, I Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 13 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon!

August 7, 2017 By Jessie Benson 5 Comments

13 weeks until New York City- yikes! I do not feel prepared. Once again, training wasn't spectacular for my second week in India, though I tried my best...work came first. Speaking of work...these puppies at my office. I want to bring them all home :( Monday:  I started the week pretty strong, with a 10 mile treadmill run. 2 miles easy, 6 at an 8 min/mile pace, 2 easy. Tuesday: 8 easy on Continue Reading
