Losing weight, one mile at a time
Okay guys, I have a less-than-cheery post for you today, unfortunately. There's been something I've been wanting to share here, but I've been putting it off while I basked in the after-glow of the Dopey Challenge and completing my first marathon. Basically, what happened was I came home … [Read more...]
Hey guys, happy Friday! So I thought I'd end the week with something new and exciting: my first guest post! I decided to take a little break from blogging today and let my other favorite writer share a post with you, and with all of the the Dopey, Princess, and Dumbo excitement, I thought it was … [Read more...]
Okay, guys, the time has come for the ultimate Dopey Challenge recap...the day I became a marathoner. :) Of course, if you missed my previous Dopey Challenge recaps, here they are: expo, 5K, 10K, half marathon. This post was hard for me to write. (Please do allow me to apologize in advance for … [Read more...]
On to a recap of the Walt Disney World Half Marathon! Just in case you missed my previous Dopey Challenge recaps, you can find them here: expo, 5K, and 10K. By the morning of the half marathon, I was pretty tired. And sore. Not so much from the races, but from walking the parks all day AFTER the … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Happy New Year! Hope you all enjoyed the holiday season -- I know I did! :) I know I've taken a bit of an unintentional hiatus here with Christmas and whatnot, but I wanted to come back to the blogging world and say a proper good-bye to 2013 with a full recap on these final weeks of … [Read more...]
I've been MIA. Sorry, guys. As I've mentioned here before, I teach piano lessons, and this past weekend was my annual recital, so I've been completely consumed with preparations and running around like a maniac and stressing myself out for the last week or two. But I'm back now, and I can say … [Read more...]
So, remember about a month ago when I said that the Runner's World Hat Trick was the hardest race I had ever run? I'm taking that back. Because yesterday, I ran what was -- by far -- my most harrowing race to date. Our story begins on a FRIGID Sunday morning in Brooklyn. As many … [Read more...]
Okay, here it is! A recap of my first runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon experience! Was it an AMAZING time? Absolutely. But I did run into several issues...as is always the case with me, it seems. :) After running the 5K earlier that morning (recap here, in case you missed it!), my family … [Read more...]
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 little preview of the International Food and Wine … [Read more...]
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 our resort: the Port Orleans -- French … [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
