Weekly Recap: Four Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon

October 13, 2019 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

The theme of this week was definitely run commuting! Every one of my weekday runs was a run commute. I've mentioned it before, but the only reason it works so well for me is because my husband works in the same building as me in downtown Minneapolis. I am able to stash all my stuff (work clothes, work bag/laptop) in his car the night before. Then I don't have to carry anything while running. I Continue Reading

The big news of my week is obvious from my header photo- we got a puppy! We've been talking about adding another dog to the house for awhile now and have just been waiting for the right time. In my opinion, Matilda has been lonely since our two cats passed away a few years ago. She's 10 years old and we are really hopeful that she and the new pup will become the best of friends. So far?
