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.

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...]

Happy Friday, all! So I'm finally here with my recap of the New York City Marathon! Let's start from the beginning. I woke up at the asscrack of dawn (3:30am) to get ready. Todd, being the fabulous man that he is, was going to drive me the 45 minutes to catch the bus at the Meadowlands, which … [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...]
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...]
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
