Fits On The Road: Palm Springs

May 8, 2018 By Jessie Benson 9 Comments

It's been awhile since I shared a Fits on the Road post, but I love documenting a trip on here. I think these posts are super helpful if someone ever asks me for advice on a particular location; it's great to have these posts on which to refer back. I also just like to have the details for my own personal "journal!" (If you want to read any previous Fits on the Road posts, I have a full page Continue Reading

How to Visit the Taj Mahal in A Weekend (From Mumbai)

August 19, 2017 By Jessie Benson 4 Comments

Alternate Title: Fits on the Road: Visiting Delhi & the Taj Mahal  I'd like to start this post with a LOT of travel information, as I think it will be helpful to my colleagues (and hopefully others too!) who are planning to visit the Taj Mahal from Mumbai. The second part of this post will include my normal 'recap'/journaling of my actual experience, so if you're not Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Jaipur, India

August 13, 2017 By Jessie Benson 11 Comments

Last weekend, my manager Lisa and I took a weekend trip from Mumbai (where we are working) to Jaipur, India. Jaipur is a northern city, the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Like the 50 states of the US, the 29 states of India are all apparently very different. I had only been to Mumbai at this point during my time in India, so I am so glad that I had the opportunity to explore Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 13 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon!

August 7, 2017 By Jessie Benson 5 Comments

13 weeks until New York City- yikes! I do not feel prepared. Once again, training wasn't spectacular for my second week in India, though I tried my best...work came first. Speaking of work...these puppies at my office. I want to bring them all home :( Monday:  I started the week pretty strong, with a 10 mile treadmill run. 2 miles easy, 6 at an 8 min/mile pace, 2 easy. Tuesday: 8 easy on Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: A Tour of Mumbai with Bravo Bombay

August 2, 2017 By Jessie Benson 11 Comments

Last Sunday, I took a full day city tour of Mumbai India with "Bravo Bombay." Bravo Bombay is a one-woman shop; that one-woman being a guide named Hemali Talsania. And that one woman is amazing! I decided to book my tour with her after reading rave reviews on Trip Advisor from other solo female business travelers. I'm so glad I did- I will definitely be recommending her to all my colleagues who Continue Reading

Fits On The Road: Anderson Valley, California

Today's post is a picture-heavy recap of our recent long weekend in Anderson Valley, California. Anderson Valley is a sparsely populated region of Northern California, abut 100 miles north of San Francisco; wine country for pinot noir fans! If you plan to visit this area in the future, hopefully this post will be of value to you. (Pin it to Pinterest for future reference!) We flew into San 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.
