Fitness Fashion Friday: SmartWool Seamless Sports Bra Review

July 21, 2017 By Jessie Benson 14 Comments

I'm pretty picky about sports bras; well, okay, I'm pretty picky about fitness fashion in general, but definitely sports bras. I have a lot of trouble with chafing and support and am constantly trying out new brands/bras to find the best ones for my running endeavors. I was recently given a SmartWool sports bra to test, (thank you to the great people at Gear Running!)  I love SmartWool and Continue Reading

Good morning everyone! I know that I said I was going to announce the Title Nine winner yesterday, but I ran out of time, so this here we go this morning. Matilda helped...with her 'merica flair! Actually, Dustin helped. I was back from my morning run in time to catch him to videotape the drawing of the winner. He can vouch for the fairness of the drawing. Everyone who tweeted and/or Continue Reading

Fitness Fashion Friday: Title Nine Bra Fit Fest and a Giveaway!

June 24, 2016 By Jessie Benson 46 Comments

Boobs. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Running with boobs? It can be challenging....because boobs come in all different shapes and sizes! And truthfully, sports bras haven't always come in different shapes and sizes. And how about running for a LONG time with boobs (like 26.2 miles?) It can cause all kinds of pain and issues- chafing is my biggest issue (underarm and right Continue Reading

Thank you for stopping by!

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.

Full weekend exploring London, with a 16 mile long Full weekend exploring London, with a 16 mile long run on Regent’s Canal & Victoria Park, a visit to Borough Market, a walk with the pups to Shoreditch, dinner on Bermondsey Street, more running & lots of dog walks (+ meeting with a dog walker for this week when we both are in the office), and then the formal tour of the Tower of London. Covered a lot of ground. #london #exploringlondon #movetolondon #expat #londonexpat #runninginlondon #bermondsey #toweroflondon
Best reunion ever! I've been so, so worried, but t Best reunion ever! I've been so, so worried, but these girls were such troopers through a 4-day delay in Chicago when it was too hot for them to fly, to a 7-hour flight from Chicago to Amsterdam, 5 hours getting through customs, followed by a 9 hour van transport (via the eurotunnel) to London to be reunited with us. ❤️ So much happiness in my heart to be together again.

Ruth and Matilda have been dying to share some exc Ruth and Matilda have been dying to share some exciting news- we are moving to London!

- Dustin was offered a really great opportunity through the same company to take on a new role in London.
- My company approved a transfer for me to our London office- same job for me (fun new office location!)
- I’ll be localized, Dustin will be an expat.
- The move has been in the works for awhile, but UK immigration was slow with visa processing due to Covid, staffing shortages, the Ukrainian war refugee crisis, etc. but we now have our visas so things are moving quickly- tentative move date is July 7!
- Though the delay was frustrating at first, I think it was meant to be, as it allowed me to be in the US for my mom’s last days and then her funeral. 😕
- We will be renting a flat in the city of London. Visitors welcome!
- Ruth & Matilda are coming with. We wouldn’t go if they couldn’t join! Happy to share details on how they are getting there, but Dustin’s firm set up us with an amazing agency that handles it all, @worldcarepet 
- Some good friends are hosting a goodbye party/open house on June 25th. Text me for details, I’d love to see you before we leave. All are invited! 🇬🇧
