There's been something I've been wanting to share here, but I've been putting it off while I basked in the after-glow of the Dopey Challenge and completing my first marathon. Basically, what happened was I came home … [Read more...]
Now that the Princess Half Marathon is just a few weeks away, I'm gearing up for the Glass Slipper Challenge by participating in a Princess-themed virtual blog hop -- and thought I'd share some details about the ChEAR Squad with you guys!

Hey guys, happy Friday! So I thought I'd end the week with something new and exciting: my first guest post!

The morning after the expo (recap here, in case you missed it), I got up bright and early to run the first of my Dopey Challenge races: the Disney Family Fun Run 5K.

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
