One Week Until the Indianapolis Marathon!

November 3, 2019 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

Just one week to go until the Indianapolis Marathon! I've been counting down the weeks to the Indianapolis for quite a while now. Though this will be my fourth marathon of 2019, (Houston, Antarctica, Brookings), it's the first one where I feel like I might be close to where I was pre-broken leg. My goal is to break 3:35, though I think I would be happy with anything in the 3:3X zone. I've put Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Four Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon

October 13, 2019 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

The theme of this week was definitely run commuting! Every one of my weekday runs was a run commute. I've mentioned it before, but the only reason it works so well for me is because my husband works in the same building as me in downtown Minneapolis. I am able to stash all my stuff (work clothes, work bag/laptop) in his car the night before. Then I don't have to carry anything while running. I Continue Reading

7 weeks until my 33rd marathon and 22nd state! Training was pretty intense this week, but fortunately my bronchitis is gone and my strained pec muscle is almost healed. First things first, check out the guest post my younger sister Laurie wrote about her first experience with a running coach and hitting her goal at the City of Lakes half marathon! Read more HERE.

Weekly Recap: Lots of Puppy Pics!

July 28, 2019 By Jessie Benson 32 Comments

When I looked at the photos on my phone from this week, it was basically ALL puppy pics. I can't help it; Ruth is so darn cute! I'm so happy we have a second dog. I'm not saying that this first full week with our new family member wasn't a lot of work, it was! Getting up multiple times in the night for potty breaks definitely left me in a bit of a sleep-deprived daze!I did manage to get in all Continue Reading

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday. I didn't have a chance to share my weekly recap yesterday, but I did publish my marathon recap of the Brookings Marathon. Check it out! I shared in the Brookings Marathon recap that my next full marathon will be the Indianapolis Marathon on November 9th, which is 24 weeks away. Lots of time to train!

Weekly Recap: 1 Week Until the Brookings Marathon

May 5, 2019 By Jessie Benson 25 Comments

Happy Sunday and welcome to May! I'm so glad spring is in full swing; it's wonderful to run outside without worrying about whether or not the trails will be icy, isn't it?  Here's how training went this past week for the Brookings Marathon that I will be running with my sister (her goal is around 4:20-4:25): Monday: 6.65 miles with my friend Christie before work, Discover Strength Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 2 Weeks Until the Brookings Marathon

April 28, 2019 By Jessie Benson 26 Comments

Happy Sunday! It was a fun week of training over here for the Brookings Marathon, which is in two weeks.

Discover Strength (strength training class) after work. Tuesday: 3 mile warm-up, 4x(800m with 400m recovery), 400m jog, Continue Reading
