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

Fits Do Race Reviews: The TC 1 Mile

May 15, 2016 By Jessie Benson 17 Comments

This past Thursday, I raced the TC 1 Mile! This is my fifth time running this race; I ran this race in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. In 2014, the race was cancelled due to the weather, otherwise I would have run it then too! Every year, as I nervously wait for the starting gun to go off, I curse this race and say I'll never do it again...why? Because it's hard! It HURTS to go as hard as you Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: TC 1 Mile

May 14, 2013 By Jessie Benson 1 Comment

By Cool J in Minneapolis2013 marked my third year participating in the TC 1 mile, and this is my second year reviewing it for the blog! You can read last year's review HERE.The Medtronic TC 1 Mile is marketed as "one mile (12 city blocks) of fun," and fun it was! Well, at least it was fun after I was done with my mile- maybe not while it was happening. Painful! It is so rare that a marathoner like Continue Reading
