Weekly Recap: Home Sweet Home!

September 3, 2017 By Jessie Benson 23 Comments

My first full week back in the United States- woo-hoo! I had a great experience in India, but there's no place like home. And while I struggled to get the training in while I was overseas, it felt great to get back to it this week back in Minneapolis- where it's EASY to be a runner! I'm linking up as always with Jess from Jess Runs ATL, details below. Here's how last week's training for the Continue Reading

June 4, 2017 By Jessie Benson 16 Comments

Two weeks until Grandma's Marathon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is much cooler in Duluth...I love this summer weather, but not for running! Here's a recap of how this past week went: Monday: We were still in California. I took this as a rest day. Tuesday: Our flight landed around 3 pm, so I did my run around 4 pm. My legs were heavy from traveling, my IT band was Continue Reading

Fits On The Road: Anderson Valley, California

June 2, 2017 By Jessie Benson 14 Comments

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

Weekly Recap: Easing Back into Running…

May 14, 2017 By Jessie Benson 10 Comments

After last week's little health scare (if you missed it, I fainted in the shower and took quite a fall), I had to take it easy for a few days- doctor's orders.  I'm also dealing with some new (unrelated to the fall) aches and pains in my left leg; I'll definitely be going to Orthology this week for some soft tissue work. With that said, I still was able to run & workout a bit this week, but Continue Reading
