    Jessie- I was wondering if you use a photo editing app or software for the pictures you post on your blog? Can you share what you do to prep photos before posting them? Thanks!

      hi Katie! I use picmonkey: http://www.picmonkey.com

      It’s free or you can upgrade for some extras (I did- its cheap if I remember). It’s great for resizing pictures, adding text, or adding filters. I have been really happy with it so far. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Hi Jessie,
    Have you thought about attending the Mankato Marathon in Mankato MN? I see you have already raced numerous times in Minnesota, but I thought I would let you know about this marathon in case you were interested!

    Hi Jessie- Your recap of the Tokyo Marathon is awesome! I was accepted as a One to One runner for the 2019 race (it will be my fifth star). I’m an experienced runner but I am nervous about the weather and the long flight (jet lag, time zone change, etc). If I wear lots of layers to the start, do they have donation bids like in the USA when you want to shed your clothing just before the race starts? Or is it ok to throw your sweatshirt along the course?

    Also, regarding traveling, what day did you come in prior to the race? I was planning on arriving from Texas the Thursday prior (I have two kiddos and I’ll be traveling though with just my dad). Any suggestions for when best to come in?

    Thanks! As you can tell, I’m a little nervous about this race for some reason, especially the weather.
    Penny

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.

I ran 2,718 miles this year, completed one marathon (Atlanta on March 1), ran 307 miles in one month (July!), and started running with little Ruth Gertrude Benson! Not the year in running I expected, but happy to be running through it all 😄  #happynewyear #2021 #getvaccinated #vizsla #vizslasofinstagram #morningrun
