Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hi, everyone! So I'm back home and (finally) caught up, so I thought I'd start the first of my Wine and Dine Half Marathon recap posts with a quick look at the expo, and a recap of Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5k! After landing on Thursday and getting a … [Continue reading]
Hi, guys! So I feel as though I’ve been so completely wrapped up in my Dopey Challenge training – physically and mentally – that I sort of forgot to talk about another awesome race-cation I have coming up. In fact, I’m writing this from … [Continue reading]

Hi, all! This weekend, I tackled the Runner's World Hat Trick: a 5K, 10K, and half marathon in the same weekend. The good news? I survived! The bad news? The half marathon was, by far, my most difficult race to date. Hands down. No … [Continue reading]

This past weekend, Todd and I ventured into Philadelphia for what was a pretty big race. For him, especially...since it was his first half marathon! I've been wanting to run a race on the Rock 'N Roll series, and since it seems the two of us will … [Continue reading]

I'm Jen, thanks for checking out my blog! After a lifetime of struggling with my weight, I managed to lose 90 pounds in 2007... and, for the first time in my life, actually kept them off. In my efforts to lose "the final 40," I became a runner and martial artist (Taekwondo and Muay Thai).
