Weekly Recap: 27 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

July 15, 2018 By Jessie Benson 36 Comments

This post is SUPER long, so sit down, put yourself a glass of NUUN (or wine) and settle in. I have some exciting things to share and I want to get them all out there in my weekly recap post. However, if you didn't check in here the rest of the week, be sure to look back at this post of running favorites from Rita and this post recapping my experience at PIZZA CAMP! First of all, you read that Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 8 weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon

January 21, 2018 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

Okay, I know last week's post was "8 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon" but I was wrong. This week is actually 8 weeks until the race, 7 weeks until we depart on the trip. Whoops! **And for any potential burglars planning to stop by while we're gone, my sister's family is going to be housesitting for most of the time, so I wouldn't recommend it! Back to the recap of training for the Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Happy Halloween!

October 30, 2016 By Jessie Benson 13 Comments

Happy Sunday! I hope you enjoyed the last weekend in October. It was also the last weekend before Daylight Savings Time...which means we are quickly approaching even darker running than before! If you haven't broken out your head lamp yet, it's probably time to do so :) It was a really busy week for me at work, with over 60 hours there (which is a lot for me). I fit in what I could Continue Reading

Fits Do Product Reviews: Joovy Zoom360 Jogging Stroller

October 21, 2015 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

My sister Laurie wrote this post to share her review of her Joovy Zoom360 Jogging Stroller- I hope you find this useful! Guest Post/Fits Do Product Review: Joovy Zoom360 Jogging Stroller Even before I was pregnant, I knew that I would want a jogging stroller. I think that any “mother runner” #BAMR or “father runner” (is that a thing?) would want one. So true to form, my husband and I started Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Night Light Trail Run 10k

October 13, 2015 By Jessie Benson 1 Comment

Last Friday night, I ran the Night Light Trail Run 10k at Battle Creek Park in St. Paul. There was a half-marathon and a 5k in addition to the 10k. You might remember when I ran this race last year, two of my friends got engaged (read all about it here!) They actually met at the same trail run the year before the engagement. This year, part of their wedding weekend festivities included the same Continue Reading

Training for the Anthem Richmond Marathon

August 11, 2015 By Jessie Benson 1 Comment

Another week of marathon training in the books. Lots of running this week...and lots of cabin time! Monday: Easy 5 miles in the morning with a few run club friends Tuesday: Easy 5 miles in the morning with Matilda the vizsla, then the Endless Summer Trail Run at Hyland Park.  This was a 7 mile trail race (which ended up being more like 7.5 miles- trail races are always “approximate!”). I did Continue Reading

Fitting Remarks: 10 Signs That You are on a HOT Run.

July 18, 2015 By Jessie Benson 10 Comments

Did you go for a run this morning? It was hot out there, wasn't it? Summer has definitely arrived in Minneapolis. I’m guessing it’s probably in full force wherever you are reading from as well! But we runners are tough; hot weather doesn't stop us (though it might- and should- slow us down a little bit.) As you head out for a run this steamy weekend, here are some sure signs that you are a Continue Reading
