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.

Welcome! Read More…

My first time skiing (well, snowboarding) the Alps My first time skiing (well, snowboarding) the Alps was a success, and by success I mean it didn’t end with a helicopter evacuation after an epic knee injury like the last Wedel sister who skied the Alps (hi @emariecantu 😉)

I’ve snowboarded quite a few US resorts and Europe was different in a few ways:
1: Lift tickets are cheap! Only €60 a day vs. $200+ in the US
2: It’s all about the coffee breaks, fondue lunches, and après ski (for the locals, not for us. See video from La Folie Douce as example 🥳)
3: Nothing is “out-of-bounds”. Ski at your own risk. You’re responsible for your own rescue cost. 
4: The trails are rated green, blue, red, and black. No double black diamond rating, just a ton of off-piste. The mountain is huge.
5: Food and wine is expensive but mostly good.
6:  It wasn’t that busy for us but when it was, the lift lines were chaos, every man for himself 🤣

I did it in Mpls too but it’s much more common in London; my office has showers + towels + lockers + blowdryers/flat irons. There are always other runners & cyclists getting ready in the morning & I see many other runners on my run in with their packs on! My shortest route is just over 4 miles (Hampstead to Leicester Square) but I can always lengthen it if I want (though the backpack is pretty heavy in the winter.) It’s a really fun option that I’m glad I can do on occasion. Have you tried it?

Last post on the grid about Lapland, I swear!😁 Last post on the grid about Lapland, I swear!😁 We did a husky sled 5k with Tundra Huskies; I was worried about whether I would be comfortable with how the dogs were treated but these pups seemed very well cared for and they seemed to LOVE pulling the sled! I was “so brave” & even drove the sled. Afterwards we got to give some snuggles to the retired pups ❤️🐕🥶🇫🇮

Dustin and I “participated” in our family turk Dustin and I “participated” in our family turkey trot from afar (he did his yesterday in the rain ☔️). Thanksgiving is kinda my family’s thing, as it’s the holiday where all 4 of my sisters + partners + kids + my parents all get together vs Christmas; there’s always a race of some kind, often a lip sync competition, a clothing swap, maybe a squabble or two (& bets on who causes the drama) and endless laughs. It’s weird not being there this year, especially since it’s the first without my mom 😕. But my dad is keeping traditions alive & sent us our “bibs” to join in from London. ❤️🦃🏃‍♀️🏃🏼 (and I’m so glad the rest of my sisters will be there for him.)

Cherish your family traditions and give your family a hug for me 🙂
