What I’m Excited About AFTER Grandma’s Marathon…

June 13, 2015 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

I'm the first to admit that my training for Grandma's Marathon was pretty intense. I ran a lot of miles and didn't have a lot of extra time for other activities. So I'm excited for after Grandma's, when I can get back to doing all those other things. I miss [solidcore]! I miss yoga! I miss paddle boarding! I miss kettlebells! My friend Ericka (the kettlebell instructor from this post) is Continue Reading

Q. Cumbers Restaurant, Corepower Yoga, and a Giveaway!

May 14, 2015 By Jessie Benson 26 Comments

I have been logging quite a few weekly miles lately as I train for Grandma's Marathon. Rest, recovery, hydration, and diet are all more important than ever during this peak of marathon training season. But eating well is always a challenge; sometimes there's just not enough time in the day for meal prep. I work full time and usually try to bring my lunch from home, but it doesn't always work Continue Reading

Fits do Fitness Class Reviews: My Thoughts on ClassPass

April 2, 2015 By Jessie Benson 7 Comments

In January, I shared this post about ClassPass, which launched in Minneapolis/St. Paul in January. I was excited to be given a free month to try it out. Since then, a few of you have asked what I thought of it and if I have continued with it after the trial month. This post is all my ramblings to answer that question! (PS: I also got a free ClassPass tank top! Full Continue Reading

Fresh New Fit: Sunrise Yoga + Propel Water

July 18, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning I joined my friend Meggan of The Yoga Garage for a sunrise yoga class at Lake Calhoun. The class was led by Emily of Luminous Yoga. Emily teaches sunset yoga on Lake Calhoun on Tuesdays at 6:30, but this was a special morning class for a video shoot. A video shoot? Emily had been contacted by Propel to participate in a promotional photo shoot/video of her class. She Continue Reading

Fresh New Fit: Static Trapeze Class at Twin Cities Trapeze Center

June 12, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

Ah, I'm so sorry I have been MIA! My computer was on its last leg, so I had to order a new one. The new one was a custom order with loads of memory, so it took a little while for it to arrive. But now I am back in action, and this Macbook is WAAAY faster; I love it! Anyways, I have been meaning to write a post about the static trapeze class that Dustin and I took last Saturday. Remember last Continue Reading

Fresh New Fit: Warby Parker!

May 15, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

Have you guys heard about Warby Parker?  Warby Parker is a fresh new fit in the optical and sunglasses business!   Let me tell you a story...I grew up wearing glasses- ugly glasses too. I think my first pair of glasses was in 2nd grade, and they were super thick. Then I had a few pairs with a "safety bar" as we lovingly called it across the top, (see below picture of Dustin with said safety Continue Reading
