Weekly Recap: 6 Weeks Until Antarctica!

February 3, 2019 By Jessie Benson 34 Comments

Hello, hello! I'm here with my usual weekly recap, this time counting down to the Antarctica Marathon! I have to admit, I am a little superstitious about counting down to Antarctica after what happened last year. (If you're new here, I was 3 weeks out when I broke my leg and couldn't go.) It all feels very familiar to be counting down again to the same trip. I really hope I'm not setting myself 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.

Fits Do Product Reviews: Yaktrax Run & A Giveaway!

Training through the winter in a city like Minneapolis is definitely not for the faint of heart. Our winters are cold, dark, and icy. Running outside can be dangerous; I know firsthand the perils of running outside in Minneapolis in the winter. In 2008, I slipped on the ice during a solo morning run. I hobbled back to my house and took a cab to the emergency room only to find out I had broken Continue Reading

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.
