Fits Do Race Reviews: The IDBI Mumbai Half Marathon

August 24, 2017 By Jessie Benson 8 Comments

Last Sunday, I ran the IDBI Mumbai Half Marathon. Saturday Expo: The expo was held on Thursday/Friday/Saturday, but since I had to work far away from the packet pick up, Saturday was my only option. I had my driver take me to the University of Mumbai Kalina campus, where the expo was being held at the sports complex there. It was interesting to see the University campus...very different Continue Reading

Guest Post: Key West Half Marathon Review

January 26, 2017 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

As some of you may know, I have four sisters, most of whom love to run just as much as me. My sister Erin, who I paced for the Twin Cities Marathon in 2016 (this post) also recently turned 40. We celebrated with all the sisters (and husbands) in Napa this past August (this post & this post) but 40 is a monumental birthday so Erin kept the celebration going! She went to Key West to run a half Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon

October 24, 2016 By Jessie Benson 12 Comments

As I mentioned in my weekly recap, I ran the Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon last Saturday, October 22nd with my friend Vicki. I wasn't racing it for me, but rather paced/ran with her. Her previous PR was a 2:04 and her goal was to run under 2 hours. 13.1 miles would be the longest I had run since the Twin Cities Marathon when I paced my sister, but I had such a great experience with that, that I Continue Reading

On Saturday, January 30th, I ran the Securian Winter Run half-marathon. There is also a 5k and 10k race, and all of the races are part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival. Participating in one of the races is often touted as a way to "earn your bragging rights" for running in the dead of winter in Minnesota! "Embrace the frozen tundra that we call home, while enjoying the charm of St. Paul and the Continue Reading

On August 29, I ran the Team Ortho Women Rock 1/2 Marathon in St. Paul, MN. This event included a half-marathon, 10k, and 5k, as well as a 2.5k race on Friday night. There were special medals for runners who participated in three events which was called the Starlet Challenge. To earn this honor, you could run a combination of the 2.5k on Friday with 10k and 5k on Saturday, or 2.5k on Friday and 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.
