Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hi, guys! Okay, so this is RIDICULOUSLY overdue, but I wanted to go ahead and recap my most recent half marathon before posting another update on my Dopey Challenge training...and the Halloween 5K I ran last weekend! Better late than never, right? :) In case you missed it, my blog about the first … [Read more...]
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 question about it. And that's including running … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Here I go again with the delayed post. There's something about weekend race-cations that throw me completely out of whack for a few days afterwards.... ;) Anyways, Todd and I (once again) decided to go on a last-minute, impromptu trip for a race this past weekend, and this time it was … [Read more...]
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

So, big announcement here, for anyone who doesn't already know. I am now, officially, in training for a marathon. A freakin' marathon.

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 take any excuse for a race-cation, we made sort of a … [Read more...]
Hi, everyone! I know I am RIDICULOUSLY late on this recap, so I hope you'll forgive me! I do have another exciting race recap coming this week; I was in Philadelphia this weekend to run my first Rock n' Roll half marathon! More on that soon. :) Okay, so now for my final Disneyland-themed post: … [Read more...]
In honor of my first trip to Disneyland and the start of Dumbo Double Dare weekend being just ONE WEEK AWAY, and my excitement over making it in to the meet-up, I thought I'd write a fun little Disney-inspired post. I totally stole this from Mindy over at Road Runner Girl and Karen from Just Me and … [Read more...]
So, I have some MAJOR and very exciting runDisney news related to my upcoming trip to Disneyland. (By the way, I still can't believe that exactly two weeks from today, I'll be seeing this castle in person for the first time!) Yesterday, I was lucky enough to be selected to participate in … [Read more...]
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I definitely did...it was my birthday weekend! I celebrated my 28th birthday on Friday, and decided to ring in a new year of my life with a 10-mile race. On the beach. In the middle of one of the hottest months of the year. (In case any of you were … [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
