Losing weight, one mile at a time
If you've ever read my blog, you probably already know that I am madly, desperately, INSANELY in love with PRO Compression socks. And since I get questions about them all the time, I figured hosting a giveaway would be a great opportunity to help my fellow runners #keepittight...so, today, I'm … [Read more...]
Hi, guys! Hope you all had an awesome weekend. At long last, here's my recap of the Disneyland Half Marathon! After an early dinner the night before the race, we headed back to the room to ensure at least 6-7 hours of sleep before a 4am wake-up call. We got dressed in our costumes -- inspired, of … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! I'm back with a (somewhat overdue) recap of the Disneyland 10K! You know, now that I have all my Marathonfoto pictures and all. :) We spent the whole day in Disneyland on Friday, which, of course, wasn't the best idea...my legs and feet were already sore by the time the alarm went off … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Alright, so this week is going to be all about Disneyland (my apologies for those of you who aren't QUITE as obsessed as I am...haha). I'll be sharing my New York City Marathon training for both weeks 8 and 9 in one post over the next couple of days, but I wanted to go ahead and get my … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Sorry for the crickets here! We just got back from CA late on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and I've basically been an exhausted/jet-lagged mess ever since. I just wanted to drop in and let you guys know that I AM working on my recaps of Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, from the … [Read more...]
So this is quite possibly the first time I've ever blogged two days in a row! But I wanted to share some deets about our trip before we head to California for the Disneyland Half Marathon and Dumbo Double Dare -- specifically, our race costumes! :) As many of you know, the theme of this year's 5K … [Read more...]
Hey guys! So I'm gearing up to run the Disneyland Half Marathon and Dumbo Double Dare this weekend, and am looking forward to sharing some details about our trip -- and, most importantly, OUR RACE COSTUMES -- before we leave! :) But first, here's a look at last week's training for the New York … [Read more...]
Hey guys! So I know I'm a bit late on my weekly recap (because THAT'S new...) but I hope you'll forgive me because it was my birthday last weekend...and I'm still writing about the details. Will have that up by tomorrow or Friday! But in the meantime, I'm participating in a Disneyland Blog Hop … [Read more...]
Hey, all! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. :) So now that I've survived marathon #2, I thought I'd drop in and share some post-marathon recovery updates with you and fill you in on my upcoming races for 2014 -- and ask for opinions on some other half/full marathons I'm considering for this … [Read more...]
Hope you guys had a fabulous weekend! First things first: many, many thanks to all of you for your helpful, supportive comments on my last post! I have taken in everything you guys said, and I feel a lot better about scaling back now. And that is why I PROMISE I will be better about keeping up … [Read more...]
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). A NJ-based freelance journalist, when I'm not writing about the latest health and fitness trends, I'm actually living them! Visit my website at www.jenniferlnelson.com
