Losing weight, one mile at a time
Okay, guys...I'm FINALLY back with my recap of the Walt Disney World Marathon! :) After the previous morning’s traffic fiasco on our way to the half marathon, we set our alarms for even earlier (ugh) just in case of a repeat performance. After getting dressed in our Rapunzel/Flynn costumes and … [Read more...]
Hey all! So I'm here with my recap of the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. Also known as the "Donald Duck" half marathon. :) We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside this time around, and while it was a beautiful resort, unfortunately its location in relation to Epcot didn't do us any favors on race … [Read more...]
Hey guys! Soooo, of course my recap of this weekend’s Goofy Challenge isn’t quite ready (add it to the list of race recaps I’m behind on, haha), BUT…I did want to drop in and announce that we DID complete the 39.3 mile challenge!

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.)

What better time to (finally) write my Walt Disney World Marathon recap than in the middle of a blizzard? (Okay, fine, so we didn't actually get a blizzard this time.

But I was dressed as … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! So I'm suffering real, real bad from my usual bout of post-Disney depression, and figured there's no better way to combat it than by planning my next trip writing my Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend recaps! As always, I'll start with a quick look at the expo, and then share some … [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...]
Thanks so much, everyone, for your kind and supportive comments on my marathon recap! So, I've had some time to reflect on the Dopey Challenge, and wanted to go ahead and share some final thoughts with you guys.

Okay, guys, the time has come for the ultimate Dopey Challenge recap...the day I became a marathoner. :) Of course, if you missed my previous Dopey Challenge recaps, here they are: expo, 5K, 10K, half marathon.

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
