Fits on the Road: Bismarck, North Dakota

By: Cool J

Hello from Bismarck, North Dakota!

The D-man and I are here for my mother-in-law's wedding. It was a long, uneventful drive, but we did break it up by visiting this handsome fella in Jamestown, ND.

WORLD'S LARGEST BUFFALO!

His name is Dakota Thunder. Isn't he handsome?

We arrived in Bismarck yesterday in time for the rehearsal dinner.

This morning we decided to go for an easy jog around the town before I went to the salon for hair/make-up.

Hair and make-up in Bismarck:

Before:  No makeup. No styling of the hair. Yikes!

After:

Okay, so back to the FITS ON THE ROAD part!

We headed out early this morning (around 6:30 am) to beat the heat and explore the area. We're staying at the Radisson, which is a little less than a mile from the state capitol grounds. There were a few other runners on the grounds, but it was mostly deserted.

Below is a picture of the North Dakota State Capitol, commonly thought of as the least interesting capitol building in the nation! 

Even though the actual capitol building was not very impressive, the grounds surrounding the capitol were very green and enjoyable.

We jogged through the grounds and back to our hotel, for an easy 4 mile run.  It was a nice way to get a little bit of a sweat before the busy day ahead of us.

No matter how short the exercise, it still makes me feel so much better to work out while traveling. I know that today we will be eating and drinking more than normal, so I was very happy to still be able to find my "FITS ON THE ROAD" in Bismarck, North Dakota!

*Stay tuned for pictures from the wedding! 

Our bridesmaids dresses are simple black cocktail dresses.
