Guest Post: Coaching Makes the Difference!

September 20, 2019 By Jessie Benson 8 Comments

I have a special guest post today from my younger sister Laurie, all about training for the City of Lakes half marathon after having her second baby, and using a coach (yours truly!) for the first time. Enjoy! Don’t let anyone lead you to believe that training for a half marathon post-baby is easy. I’ve gone through it two times - doing it two different ways - and both had their unique Continue Reading

13 Weeks until the Houston Marathon & Running in Scandinavia

October 21, 2018 By Jessie Benson 25 Comments

This weekly recap post is a unique one, as it includes a lot of running in Scandinavia! If you missed it, I shared this Fits on the Road post about the first part of our trip, which included Copenhagen, Denmark and Gothenburg, Sweden. I plan to share similar posts about the rest of our time in Norway; I'll keep this recap post a bit shorter and focused on fitness. But please stop by later this Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 18 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

September 16, 2018 By Jessie Benson 37 Comments

Hello! I hope you're having a fantastic weekend! Did you watch the footage of the Berlin Marathon? A new world record, so exciting! I ran the Berlin Marathon in 2013. Though it wasn't an awesome race for me, it was still a cool experience. Read all about it HERE. It was my first international marathon and one of the 6 races that got me my 6-star finisher's medal last Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 18 Weeks Post Broken Leg

June 24, 2018 By Jessie Benson 15 Comments

Hello and happy Sunday! I'm here with my weekly recap; I guess I should probably stop counting from the broken leg now that I'm kind of back to running. But I definitely don't have a marathon on the horizon to count down to; it's going to take quite a bit of time to get back to that point in my running. But at least I'm running again! If you’re only stopping in for the weekly recap, please Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon

December 31, 2017 By Jessie Benson 16 Comments

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

Weekly Recap: 3 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon

October 16, 2017 By Jessie Benson 23 Comments

Three weeks until the New York City Marathon; it's so close! I'm linking up as always with Jess from Jess Runs ATL. Details below, join us! I'm also joining HoHo Runs/Mississippi Piddlin, who host similar link-ups. Check them out! I generally am a morning runner, but I really struggled this week getting up before work. I think part of it was that my normal morning running buddy Christie Continue Reading

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.
