Fits do Race Reviews: The Hot Dash 10 Mile & 5k

March 23, 2017 By Jessie Benson 12 Comments

Last Saturday, March 18th, I ran the Hot Dash 10 mile race. This race is put on by the good people at Twin Cities in Motion (the same organization who puts on the Twin Cities Marathon, the TC 1 mile, and so many more!) Their races are always fantastic and this one didn't disappoint. Packet Pickup:  Packet Pickup was held on Thursday and Friday at Fleet Feet. You could also pick up your packet Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Brian Kraft 5k

June 2, 2016 By Jessie Benson 17 Comments

Hey, look who is pacing me again in that picture! Yep, it seems that all of my recent PR's (the Phoenix Marathon, the Fast & Furry 8k, and now the Brian Kraft 5k) are thanks to my amazing pacer! Let me back up. I have recapped the Brian Kraft 5k twice on this blog - first in 2014, right after the Flying Pig Marathon (i.e. not a great 5k for me) and again in 2015, where I ran a 22:04 Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The MDRA 15k

August 20, 2015 By Jessie Benson 18 Comments

Last Sunday, I ran the MDRA 15k. This race is part of the USATF racing circuit that I participate in with the Calhoun Beach Running Club. There are only two more races left in the racing circuit this season. Unfortunately I won't be participating in either of them. The first is the City of Lakes Half Marathon, which I won't be doing because we are going to Colorado. The second is the TC Continue Reading

Fits do Race Reviews: The 2015 Brian Kraft Memorial 5k

May 27, 2015 By Jessie Benson 14 Comments

This past Memorial Day, I ran the Brian Kraft Memorial 5k. It is a flat and fast race around Lake Nokomis. When I say FAST, I mean it! The winning time was 14:20! It attracts a very competitive field. I ran this race last year, but it was right after the Flying Pig Marathon, so I was still in recovery mode. This year, I was ready to race! I participated in this race as part of my running Continue Reading

Fits do Race Reviews: The Salomon CITYTRAIL Loppet 10 Mile

May 20, 2015 By Jessie Benson 1 Comment

(pictured above: our friends from THIS post who met at a trail race and are getting married this fall!) Last Sunday, I ran the Salomon CITYTRAIL Loppet 10 mile race! There is also a 10k option with this event. Let me tell you, this was such a fun race! It was probably one of my favorite trail races so far, and that is high praise considering there are a lot of options in the Twin Cities 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.
