But I was dressed as … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Todd and I ran the Hershey Half Marathon this past Sunday. We had an awesome time, and better yet, this weekend's 13.1 was TRULY my last "long run" for my New York City Marathon training...because I "only" have to run 8 this weekend! We drove up to Hershey, PA early on Saturday … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Since apparently I've given up on posting full weekly workout recaps (you're not missing much, believe me), I wanted to at least drop in and share an update on the last long run of my New York City Marathon training!

Hi, guys! Hope you all had an awesome weekend. At long last, here's my recap of the Disneyland Half Marathon!

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.

Hope you guys had a fabulous weekend! I posted my 4th of July race recap 10 days late, so why not go ahead and recap weeks 2 and 3 of my New York City Marathon training all at once? ...better late than never, right? ;) WEEK 2 Mon., July 7: Taekwondo and Thai kickboxing class Tue: July … [Read more...]
Who writes about a 4th of July race 10 days after the fact...? This person. :) Sorry for the delay, guys! I had a very successful second week of training for the New York City Marathon, which I will share with you all tomorrow or Wednesday. In the meantime, I would feel remiss if I didn't … [Read more...]

I'm finally here with a recap of the Superhero Half Marathon! And here's a bit of shameless self-promotion: the article I wrote about the race for the local newspaper, you know, in case you wanted some more information about the event or something like that. :) First, a little background. I ran … [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
