Fits on the Road: Hiking in Willow River State Park

July 2, 2014 By Jessie Benson 3 Comments

Go USA/Happy 4th of July- I definitely dressed the part today for work, donning every piece of red/white/blue I own. Overboard? Failed Fit?  I also enjoyed a red/white/blue bomb pop at the office as part of the soccer viewing activities. So good... Are you a big soccer fan? I will be honest that I am not, but a lot of my coworkers are, so its easy to get caught up in the excitement. So Continue Reading

June 29, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

We spent last weekend at the cabin, and as I blabbed about in THIS post, I do love weekends at the cabin. However, there is no internet access, so not a lot of blogging can happen while I'm there.  I realized that I missed last week's recap, so today, I'll quickly share my workouts for the past two weeks. Week of June 16-22: Monday: 7.5 mile run in the AM Tuesday: Lebanon 10k Trail Run (recap Continue Reading

Fitting Remarks: Why I Love the Cabin….

June 25, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

Like most Minnesotans, a highlight of our summers is heading “up north” to the cabin. My husband’s family has a place on a lake in northern Wisconsin, and I look forward to weekends up there in the summer. On the coasts, they have their beach homes, but in the Midwest, we relish the cabin life! There are so many reasons that I love weekends at the cabin, but I thought I’d share my top 12 Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: Lebanon-Jensen Lake 10k

June 23, 2014 By Jessie Benson 2 Comments

Last Tuesday night, I ran the second race of the Endless Summer Trail Run Series! It was the Lebanon Jensen Lake 10k. All the races in this series start at 6:30 sharp. Dustin and I were a little worried about getting to Eagan (a far southern suburb of Minneapolis) where Lebanon park is,  in time to check in for the race. Fortunately, we both were able to leave work early, and we were lucky Continue Reading
