Losing weight, one mile at a time
Happy Friday, all! So since I spent my last post pretty much whining about how much summer marathon training has SUCKED, I felt I should follow it up with this (long overdue) product review on something that has made summer running slightly more bearable: my new favorite recovery sandal, … [Read more...]
I've fallen off the face of the Earth again, but I have a ton of updates to share with you guys -- plus a product review on one of my new most favorite runner products in the whole world, and a BIG announcement about our fall racing schedule (and, trust me, it's a doozy). ;) But first, here's a … [Read more...]
Well, seeing as how I'm chronically behind on my blogging, I guess I'll go ahead and combine weeks 5 and 6 of New York City Marathon training for you guys. :) WEEK 5 Mon., Aug. 10: 10 miles (counted in last week's totals) Tue., Aug. 11: Rest Wed., Aug. 12: 4 miles and Taekwondo … [Read more...]
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, everyone! So far, 30 has been treating me okay. :) Since I never got a chance to recap my New York City Marathon training for week 3, I thought I'd go ahead and give you an idea of what I've been up to the last two weeks! WEEK 3 Mon., July 28: … [Read more...]
So I’d like to interrupt my regularly-scheduled New York City Marathon training talk with a very important message. This weekend is my birthday, and I’ll be turning the big 3-0. *GASP* Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentlemen. On Sunday, I will no longer be a twenty-something. I will be … [Read more...]
Hey, all! As promised, here's a recap of my second week of New York City Marathon training. I mean, technically, I'm at the end of week 3 now...but better late than never right?! Mon., July 20: Taekwondo class Tue., July 21: 3 miles Wed., July 22: Downtown Westfield 5K and Pizza … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! So, I do have an update on my second week of training for the New York City Marathon -- plus some karate-related news! -- but I'll share that later this week. In the meantime, Todd and I ran our annual pizza 5K for the third year in a row last Wednesday, and it was just too delicious … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! So I have officially survived my first week of marathon training after several weeks months of what can only be described as "recreational" running. This time around, Todd and I will be following New York City Marathon's own training program for the "conservative" runner. Even after … [Read more...]
Happy summer, everyone! I'm back with some exciting news... I have NOT, in fact, fallen in a ditch somewhere. I AM alive and well. And I will NOT disappear for weeks at a time again, I swear! Clearly, when it comes to life as a running blogger, I've been a fraud for the past several weeks … [Read more...]
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'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
