Losing weight, one mile at a time
So, here I am, recapping a race that happened almost a month ago. For shame. :( Soooooo sorry, again, for being such a bad blogger, guys! Things are settling down now so I'll be back to my normal posting schedule -- and I'm catching up on all the goings-on with YOU, I swear! Puppy parenthood has … [Read more...]
I've gone and fallen off the face of the Earth again. I know, I suck. Sorry, guys. :( Now that the weather has officially warmed up (ugh) and summer is ahead, I'm making plans for what in the world I'm going to do with myself until I have to start training for the New York City Marathon. More … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! It's going to take me a couple of days to write the full recap of yesterday's New Jersey Marathon (mainly because I'm suffering from my usual bout of post-marathon exhaustion right now, haha), but I did want to drop in and announce that Todd and I successfully completed my 5th/his 4th … [Read more...]
Happy Friday, all! So, last weekend we tackled the big kahuna in any marathon training plan. That's right, ladies and gentlemen... THE 20-MILER IS COMPLETE. Honestly, it wasn't our best long run. Granted, it definitely wasn't the WORST either. We tackled the 20 miles in my old stomping … [Read more...]
So I'm in the middle of training for the New Jersey Marathon, and I know I suck at sharing my weekly training logs. I have the best intentions, I swear! But I thought I'd at least drop in with an update on how things are going so far. The first few weeks were pretty uneventful. I had done a bit … [Read more...]
Since I'm just a teensy bit disappointed that I'm not running the Princess Half Marathon this year (it was my first half marathon in 2013, and I returned last year for the Glass Slipper Challenge), I thought I'd take this time to share some of the races I AM planning on running this year...in an … [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...]
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! I'll share my workouts from last week in the next day or two, but first, I wanted to post my slightly-belated recap from last Wednesday's Downtown Westfield Pizza 5k! Much like the Firecracker 4-Miler on July 4th, I run this race every year...and, back in 2011, it was my very first … [Read more...]
So, big announcement here, for anyone who doesn't already know. I am now, officially, in training for a marathon. A freakin' marathon. After focusing all of my energy on running (and surviving!) the Dumbo Double Dare last month, I now have the task of training for the Dopey Challenge this … [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
