Week 9 of the Quarantine

May 17, 2020 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

Week 9 of the quarantine.... Week 9. Crazy, right? But things are changing a bit in Minneapolis; a little bit, that is. Read on. To start, I have to admit that this week was a little sad, as we were supposed to be leaving for Bhutan this past Friday to run the Thunder Dragon marathon there. Delta Airlines still sent me a notification that my boarding pass was ready on Thursday; Continue Reading

The Non-Antarctica Parts of our Trip to Antarctica (i.e. Argentina & Uruguay!)

March 31, 2019 By Jessie Benson 16 Comments

I recapped the Antarctica Marathon in THIS POST. It was the most challenging marathon I have ever done. Check out all the gory details there! Now, I'd like to share a recap of the rest of the trip, which, to quote my friend Phil from the Cayman Islands (who took the same trip a few years ago), was a "belter of a trip." A "belter" of a trip for sure! I know most of you want to see more pictures Continue Reading

Fits on the Road in Norway: Lofthus and Solstrand

November 4, 2018 By Jessie Benson 6 Comments

I'm back with another Fits on the Road post recapping our recent trip to Scandinavia! I left off on my last Fits on the Road about Copenhagen and Gothenburg as we left Gothenburg to head to Lofthus. (If you missed that one, you can catch up HERE.) Lofthus is in the Hardangerfjord area on the east side of the Norway. This trip was centered around picking up a new Volvo via the Factory Delivery Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 12 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

October 28, 2018 By Jessie Benson 19 Comments

Happy Sunday! As usual, I'm here with a weekly recap of training for the Houston Marathon. We are now 12 weeks out from marathon #30! Here's how my training went this past week: Monday:  After a fun but tough 13-mile run in the rain the previous day (read about that HERE), Dustin decided he was going to rest today, so I did 6 miles on my own in Flåm, Norway. This was actually the first time Continue Reading

13 Weeks until the Houston Marathon & Running in Scandinavia

October 21, 2018 By Jessie Benson 25 Comments

This weekly recap post is a unique one, as it includes a lot of running in Scandinavia! If you missed it, I shared this Fits on the Road post about the first part of our trip, which included Copenhagen, Denmark and Gothenburg, Sweden. I plan to share similar posts about the rest of our time in Norway; I'll keep this recap post a bit shorter and focused on fitness. But please stop by later this Continue Reading

August 19, 2017 By Jessie Benson 4 Comments

Alternate Title: Fits on the Road: Visiting Delhi & the Taj Mahal  I'd like to start this post with a LOT of travel information, as I think it will be helpful to my colleagues (and hopefully others too!) who are planning to visit the Taj Mahal from Mumbai.

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.
