Guest Fits: What It’s Like to Run Hood to Coast…While Living in the Cayman Islands!

September 24, 2014 By Jessie Benson 5 Comments

I have a fun guest post today from my friend Phil. I actually met Phil through work. Like me, Phil works in the financial industry, but I'm thinking that his true calling is definitely marathons! Phil is originally from England but has lived in the Cayman Islands (lucky!) since 1995 with his wife Claire and their dog Sydney. Phil ran his first (and what was supposed to be only) marathon in Continue Reading

Tilda Tuesdays: Run MSP Hoodies…for Dogs!

September 23, 2014 By Jessie Benson 4 Comments

Last fall, I posted about my favorite tees, the Run MSP tees from Gear Running Store. (Check out that post HERE). I love this tee- so cute and comfy. One of my personal favorites! I happened to swing by Gear Running Store on my way home from work a few weeks ago for some more Hammer Gels and I saw that they are now carrying Run MSP hoodies...for DOGS!!! Well, of course I bought one. Yes! Continue Reading

Right Fit Giveaway- Two BIC Band Minnies for YOU!

September 22, 2014 By Jessie Benson 18 Comments

Great news! I ordered 25 more Calhoun Beach Running Club BIC bands for my running club. Sandy at BIC bands kept the custom material on hand so that I could order more as I needed them. Since she already had the material, I placed my order just over a week ago and they arrived on Friday. So fast- amazing service! Send me a message if you want to buy one, runners! BIC Bands is a great company- Continue Reading

Welcome to Sunday and another weekly recap of what's happening at the Right Fits in Fitness and Fitness Fashion! Let's start with fitness this past week... Monday: 60 minute barre class in the morning at The Barre and then 7 miles easy with Matilda in the evening. During our run, we ran past an accordion player on Lake Calhoun and Tilda freaked out.

Fit Tip Friday: Race Day Gear!

September 19, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

Last night's webinar with Nathan of Minneapolis Running (and me) was all about Race Day Gear. If you're training for the Twin Cities Marathon (or any fall marathon), I think these tips will be helpful as you start to finalize your gear for the big day. I'll share the video of our webinar soon, but I thought I could recap here for Fit Tip Friday just a few of the things that we talked about. Continue Reading

Fitting Remarks: A Reflection on my 2014 Minneapolis Summer Bucket List

September 17, 2014 By Jessie Benson 9 Comments

Labor Day has passed us by, so I suppose I should concede that summer is on it's way out... It doesn't officially end until September 22, but I figure it's time for me to reflect upon my summer bucket list and see how I did. Here we go!  1. Leave  a note for the elf on Lake Harriet. Come back later and search for a personalized response. Done! I left him a note on a Sunday and came back to Continue Reading

We don't go to this dog park as frequently Continue Reading

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.
