Losing weight, one mile at a time
Somebody pinch me. Around 9:30am yesterday -- NEW YORK CITY MARATHON LOTTERY DAY! -- I received an e-mail alert from American Express saying that a charge was made on my account. And, oh, the excitement...it was a $255 charge from New York Road Runners! As you may already know, Todd and I … [Read more...]
So I'm in the middle of training for the New Jersey Marathon, and I know I suck at sharing my weekly training logs. I have the best intentions, I swear! But I thought I'd at least drop in with an update on how things are going so far. The first few weeks were pretty uneventful. I had done a bit … [Read more...]
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.) Better late than never, right? ;) I usually spend the majority of January prepping for the Walt Disney World … [Read more...]
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 there's still some snow out there!) After the previous morning's half marathon (my recap can be found here, in case you missed … [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...]
Hey, guys! So I'm writing this from the airport -- which is a lot more exciting to me than it probably should be. :) Before we get on the plane to my most favorite place in the world -- WALT DISNEY WORLD! -- I wanted to share this weekend's costumes! Which, of course, were once again made by … [Read more...]
Hi, everyone! Thank you all so much for the supportive comments on my New York City Marathon race recap (in case you missed it, you can find it right HERE.) You guys are the best! So even though the race is over, I'm still prancing around in my NYCM marathon jacket and tech shirts (and, um, the … [Read more...]
Happy Friday, all! So I'm finally here with my recap of the New York City Marathon! Let's start from the beginning. I woke up at the asscrack of dawn (3:30am) to get ready. Todd, being the fabulous man that he is, was going to drive me the 45 minutes to catch the bus at the Meadowlands, which … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July weekend! So, this past week it became official. I am now in training for marathon #3: the FREAKIN' NEW YORK CITY MARATHON! :) I am proud to report that I successfully tackled all of the runs on my training plan, including the longest training run … [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
