Losing weight, one mile at a time
I'm in the home stretch of training for my two "goal" races of the season, so I thought it would be a fine time to update you all on my progress. Because it's not official until it's on the blog. :) We'll be heading back to Philadelphia for The Love Run this weekend, and this is going to be my … [Read more...]
Somebody pinch me. Around 9:30am yesterday -- NEW YORK CITY MARATHON LOTTERY DAY! -- I received an e-mail alert from American Express saying that a charge was made on my account. And, oh, the excitement...it was a $255 charge from New York Road Runners! As you may already know, Todd and I … [Read more...]
So, unfortunately, I'm not going to running the Princess Half Marathon this weekend. I tackled both the Dopey Challenge and the Glass Slipper Challenge back-to-back last year, and, well...let's just say it's not something I can pull off every year, financially speaking. Still can't control myself at … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! I figured since it was February 5th, it would be a fine time to share some of my goals for this year. (You know, that post everyone else writes the first week of January.) Better late than never, right? ;) I usually spend the majority of January prepping for the Walt Disney World … [Read more...]
What better time to (finally) write my Walt Disney World Marathon recap than in the middle of a blizzard? (Okay, fine, so we didn't actually get a blizzard this time. But there's still some snow out there!) After the previous morning's half marathon (my recap can be found here, in case you missed … [Read more...]
Okay, so I'm back with a recap of my first leg of the Goofy Challenge: the Walt Disney World Half Marathon! After spending Thursday at Universal Studios (Todd insisted...BOO) and Friday at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, that 3:30am wake-up call on Saturday wasn't easy. But I was dressed as … [Read more...]
Hey, all! So we just got back from The World late last night, and I wanted to drop in to announce that Todd and I both successfully ran the Walt Disney World Marathon! And, that I completed the Goofy Challenge! I finished the half in 3:15 -- slightly faster than my usual Disney half marathon … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Thanks so much for all the well wishes and congratulations on Todd's marathon -- he really appreciates it! (He does stalk my blog constantly, I can assure you...he just doesn't actually comment much, haha). So since I posted my recap of the Philadelphia Marathon as a spectator (you can … [Read more...]
Hey guys! This weekend, Todd and I were in Philadelphia so he could take on his second 26.2: the Philadelphia Marathon! Since I'm still mentally recovering from the New York City Marathon, I chose to be a lazy bum and not run this race -- or even the half. That meant I got to experience being a … [Read more...]
Hi, everyone! Thank you all so much for the supportive comments on my New York City Marathon race recap (in case you missed it, you can find it right HERE.) You guys are the best! So even though the race is over, I'm still prancing around in my NYCM marathon jacket and tech shirts (and, um, the … [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
