Losing weight, one mile at a time
So, I ventured into the city to attend the New York City Marathon expo yesterday. I think that kind of makes this whole thing real! I can't believe it's almost here. In some ways, I feel like I've been training for this race forever...and in others, it feels like it was just days ago when I … [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...]
Hey, guys! I'm back with a (somewhat overdue) recap of the Disneyland 10K! You know, now that I have all my Marathonfoto pictures and all. :) We spent the whole day in Disneyland on Friday, which, of course, wasn't the best idea...my legs and feet were already sore by the time the alarm went off … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Alright, so this week is going to be all about Disneyland (my apologies for those of you who aren't QUITE as obsessed as I am...haha). I'll be sharing my New York City Marathon training for both weeks 8 and 9 in one post over the next couple of days, but I wanted to go ahead and get my … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Sorry for the crickets here! We just got back from CA late on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and I've basically been an exhausted/jet-lagged mess ever since. I just wanted to drop in and let you guys know that I AM working on my recaps of Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, from the … [Read more...]
So this is quite possibly the first time I've ever blogged two days in a row! But I wanted to share some deets about our trip before we head to California for the Disneyland Half Marathon and Dumbo Double Dare -- specifically, our race costumes! :) As many of you know, the theme of this year's 5K … [Read more...]
I can't believe I'm already coming to the end of my second month of marathon training! How freakin' fast did this summer go?! Here's a look at my 7th week of New York City Marathon training! :) Mon., Aug. 11: 9 miles (counted in last week's totals) Tue., Aug. 12: Thai kickboxing class Wed., … [Read more...]
Hey guys! So I know I'm a bit late on my weekly recap (because THAT'S new...) but I hope you'll forgive me because it was my birthday last weekend...and I'm still writing about the details. Will have that up by tomorrow or Friday! But in the meantime, I'm participating in a Disneyland Blog Hop … [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...]
Hey, guys! Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July weekend! So, this past week it became official.

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
