As promised, I'm back with my "weekly workouts" post! Here's what week 4 of training for the New York City Marathon looked like...followed by my attempts at trying to figure out why my runs have been so suck-tastic lately. Mon., July 21: Taekwondo … [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).
