Weekly Recap: 7 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon

March 6, 2022 By Jessie Benson 29 Comments

Well, it was another interesting week of training for the Boston marathon in Minnesota. Even though its March, the weather wasn't very cooperative- lots of icy mornings. Here are the gory details! Monday: 5:30 am run with my friend Sarah (i.e....back in the office, so have to start early again.), 7.3 miles, 9:08 min/mile average. Temps above zero, trails relatively clear. 20 min upper body Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 8 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon

February 27, 2022 By Jessie Benson 31 Comments

What a heavy week, wasn't it? My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine. I can't imagine what they are going through. I know we all are seeing the news and no one really needs my take on it, so I'll just say that I am hoping for peace. Moving on to the regular light-heartedness of fitness, which I recognize that I am very fortunate to have. It was another cold and icy week in Minneapolis, Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Greetings from Whitefish & 9 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon

February 20, 2022 By Jessie Benson 34 Comments

I left off with last week's recap with day 1 of snowboarding in Whitefish, Montana. That Sunday was a gorgeous bluebird day, warm enough to comfortably enjoy an après-ski on a patio! That sun felt amazing. We had a lot of fun on the mountain! Whitefish was a lovely ski resort- a bit more low-key than some (no lift lines! No crowds!!) with plenty of blues and accessible black diamonds for an Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon

February 13, 2022 By Jessie Benson 29 Comments

10 weeks until marathon #39, the Boston Marathon on April 18! Here's how training went this past week in the frozen tundra: Monday: It's not quite so easy to 'never miss a Monday' when you wake up to -4 degrees, you know? I was tempted to cancel on my friends, but I forced myself to get up for 7 easy miles, 9:20 min/mile average. It was another frozen lashes kind of morning Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 11 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon

Hello! I missed my weekly recap last week; my mom had surgery and had some complications afterwards, so it was a stressful week. Fortunately, she is stable (thank goodness), though she'll be in the hospital for awhile. I shared a bit more on a post earlier this week, the February Ultimate Coffee Date with Deb and Coco. Please get vaccinated. And thank you to all the wonderful health care workers Continue Reading

February Ultimate Coffee Date!

February 2, 2022 By Jessie Benson 46 Comments

This is my first time linking up with Deb and Coco for their monthly Ultimate Coffee Date. This link-up is a bit more personal, a bit more random… Here goes! If we were having coffee together, mine would probably be a non-fat latte. That's usually my coffee order of choice! I don't like a lot of sugar or sweetener, just coffee or espresso with some sort of a milk. I'm also a fan of a Continue Reading
