The Right Fits’ Tips for Dealing with Jet Lag

December 19, 2014 By Jessie Benson 3 Comments

If you are new to the Right Fits- welcome! Did you hear about the Right Fits via my interview with Twin Cities in Motion? Yay! So to fill you in, I'm a Minneapolis girl on a temporary assignment in Singapore for work. I am training for the Tokyo marathon while I am here. I am by no means an expert traveler, but I do feel like I recovered pretty quickly from the jet lag from traveling 24 Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Exploring Little India in Singapore.

December 15, 2014 By Jessie Benson 3 Comments

Today's post is not about fitness or fashion, but I thought I'd share some pictures from my visit to Little India. Saturday after my long run, I figured out which bus to take to get me to Little India. I am pretty reliant on two smart phone apps, "Go There" app, where you enter where you want to go from where, and it  helps figure out whether to take the bus or train and an "IRIS" app that Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Welcome to Singapore!

December 5, 2014 By Jessie Benson 9 Comments

I'm alive! I apologize that I have been a little MIA over here. I'm adjusting to a lot of things: a 14 hour time difference, a 100 degree temperature difference, and of course the culture shock of working and living on the other side of the world. I'm back now with a super long post for you to enjoy. (Thanks for reading Mom!) I arrived in Singapore very late  Wednesday morning after 24 Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: The Outer Banks

November 15, 2014 By Jessie Benson 3 Comments

We have returned from our trip to the Outer Banks. Though my marathon finish was not what I had hoped for, I still enjoyed a nice little vacation while we were there. AND I managed to miss the first big snowfall in Minneapolis. I still watched the drama unfold on social media. :-) Accommodations: We stayed at the Surfside Hotel in Nags Head. Our room was a suite with a fridge, small living Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Sioux Falls, South Dakota

August 30, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

This past weekend, we travelled to Sioux Falls, South Dakota! We were in Sioux Falls for our friends Paul and Laura's wedding. I wasn't really sure what to expect in Sioux Falls...I mean, it's a town of about 160,000. I suppose I thought it would be a lot of farmlands and chain restaurants.  And there was some of that. Yet I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of Sioux Falls, and I wanted to Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: New Orleans!

May 13, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

Hi all. I'm slowly recovering from a weekend in New Orleans. No, its not because I drank a little too much, I swear! I actually had a layover at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport, and made the mistake of getting chicken tacos at Qdoba. Worst mistake ever...I think I definitely had food poisoning, and I'm just now starting to feel human again. I will never eat Qdoba again... Anyways, on a brighter Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Turks & Caicos- All About Conch

March 18, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

We have returned safely to Minneapolis after our getaway to Turks & Caicos! It's always so hard to return from a vacation, isn't it? It was a lovely trip, though a not-so-lovely travel day back to the U.S. Our flight was delayed from Turks & Caicos due to a mechanical issue, so we arrived in Charlotte an hour late. When we got there, customs was really backed up, so we were stuck on 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.
