Losing weight, one mile at a time
I've been MIA. Sorry, guys. As I've mentioned here before, I teach piano lessons, and this past weekend was my annual recital, so I've been completely consumed with preparations and running around like a maniac and stressing myself out for the last week or two. But I'm back now, and I can say … [Read more...]
So, remember about a month ago when I said that the Runner's World Hat Trick was the hardest race I had ever run? I'm taking that back. Because yesterday, I ran what was -- by far -- my most harrowing race to date. Our story begins on a FRIGID Sunday morning in Brooklyn. As many … [Read more...]
Okay, here it is! A recap of my first runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon experience! Was it an AMAZING time? Absolutely. But I did run into several issues...as is always the case with me, it seems. :) After running the 5K earlier that morning (recap here, in case you missed it!), my family … [Read more...]
Hi, everyone! So I'm back home and (finally) caught up, so I thought I'd start the first of my Wine and Dine Half Marathon recap posts with a quick look at the expo, and a recap of Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5k! After landing on Thursday and getting a little preview of the International Food and Wine … [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...]
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...]
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...]
At long last...I thought I'd continue my Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend recaps with a look at the 10K! Just in case you missed my previous recaps, you can find my look at the meet-up here, and the expo here. When runDisney announced that this would be the first-ever 10K at Disneyland (and, of … [Read more...]
Okay, so my post on the expo may not be quite as warm and fuzzy as my previous recap of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend Meet-Up. It was...an experience, to say the least. Immediately following the meet-up, I headed straight for the expo. Okay, wait, that’s a lie…first I grabbed a … [Read more...]
Hi, guys! So I know it has been quiet here for a few days, but I have a good reason, promise…as many of you know, I was in California to take on the inaugural Dumbo Double Dare at Disneyland, so I hope you’ll forgive me for not having a whole lot of time to update while I was away! However, … [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
