Weekly Recap: Seven Weeks Post-Broken Leg

April 8, 2018 By Jessie Benson 30 Comments

Hello and happy Sunday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for reading my blog. It's been 7 weeks since I slipped on the ice during a 20 mile long run when training for the Antarctica Marathon and 6 weeks since I had surgery to put it all back together. I'm continuing to document my recovery weekly; I hope that my journey is helpful in some way to anyone who may be going Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Six Weeks Post-Broken Leg

April 1, 2018 By Jessie Benson 32 Comments

Can you tell which leg is broken? It's looking so much better! Still swollen of course, but better. Before I delve into my regular weekly recap, I want to ask you to check out this post from earlier in the week. 10 Things I've Learned So Far From a Broken Leg I think you'll really enjoy it and it does a great job of explaining where I am right now.

Fitting Remarks: 10 Things I’ve Learned So Far From a Broken Leg

March 26, 2018 By Jessie Benson 29 Comments

On February 17th, I slipped on the ice during a 20 mile long run and broke my tibia and fibula in multiple places.

This all happened three weeks before my husband and I were supposed to embark on a two-week trip to Antarctica, where I would have completed my 30th marathon, the Antarctica Marathon. So, Continue Reading

March 25, 2018 By Jessie Benson 23 Comments

(If you primarily pop in here for my weekly recap, be sure to check out THIS POST from earlier this week!) Week 5! Yup, it's been FIVE weeks since I broke my tibia and fibula (and four weeks since I had surgery to put it all back together.) I'm still doing my weekly recaps, just as I used to, though let's be honest, they look a whole lot different than they did 6-7 weeks ago, don't Continue Reading

Week 3 of the Broken Leg

March 11, 2018 By Jessie Benson 21 Comments

I made it through another week of recovery. If you're just catching up, I broke my leg three weeks ago running; I slipped on the ice while doing my long run on February 17th. Two weeks ago I had surgery to put it all back together (like Humpty Dumpty). It's only been 3 weeks but it feels like an eternity. This upheaval in my plans happened three weeks ago and three weeks before I was 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.
