Weekly Recap: 5 Weeks Until Boston!

March 12, 2017 By Jessie Benson 20 Comments

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I'm here with my weekly recap of training for the Boston Marathon- only 5 weeks to go!

Thank you for stopping by!

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.
