This is my blog about finding The Right "Fit." I'm an avid runner, marathon enthusiast, and fitness experimentalist who uses my little space of the internet to share my passion for and experiences with running and fitness (...and a little about fashion.)

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.

Run commuting! 🏃‍♀️👩‍💻 . I did it Run commuting! 🏃‍♀️👩‍💻

I did it in Mpls too but it’s much more common in London; my office has showers + towels + lockers + blowdryers/flat irons. There are always other runners & cyclists getting ready in the morning & I see many other runners on my run in with their packs on! My shortest route is just over 4 miles (Hampstead to Leicester Square) but I can always lengthen it if I want (though the backpack is pretty heavy in the winter.) It’s a really fun option that I’m glad I can do on occasion. Have you tried it?

Last post on the grid about Lapland, I swear!😁 Last post on the grid about Lapland, I swear!😁 We did a husky sled 5k with Tundra Huskies; I was worried about whether I would be comfortable with how the dogs were treated but these pups seemed very well cared for and they seemed to LOVE pulling the sled! I was “so brave” & even drove the sled. Afterwards we got to give some snuggles to the retired pups ❤️🐕🥶🇫🇮

Dustin and I “participated” in our family turk Dustin and I “participated” in our family turkey trot from afar (he did his yesterday in the rain ☔️). Thanksgiving is kinda my family’s thing, as it’s the holiday where all 4 of my sisters + partners + kids + my parents all get together vs Christmas; there’s always a race of some kind, often a lip sync competition, a clothing swap, maybe a squabble or two (& bets on who causes the drama) and endless laughs. It’s weird not being there this year, especially since it’s the first without my mom 😕. But my dad is keeping traditions alive & sent us our “bibs” to join in from London. ❤️🦃🏃‍♀️🏃🏼 (and I’m so glad the rest of my sisters will be there for him.)

Cherish your family traditions and give your family a hug for me 🙂

So much fun running my 40th marathon today in beau So much fun running my 40th marathon today in beautiful Porto! I positive split this race like no other & barely kept things under 4 hours. It got pretty toasty out there and I also probably overestimated my fitness in the first half. 😃 I met another American & enjoyed some miles with her, one of very few at this race, scroll to see a video 😆🏃‍♀️🇺🇸. I’m so happy to have completed a marathon in a new-to-me country, two weeks post-Covid (vaccines work!) Thanks to @erbyatkins for taking me the extra weeks through a backup marathon when Covid cancelled Amsterdam for me.  Running is such a fun way to experience a new city ❤️🇵🇹 (Added bonus to have @dustinrbenson show up every few miles on a scooter to cheer ❤️)
