Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hope you guys had an awesome weekend! I thought I'd kick off the week with my recap on the Inaugural Walt Disney World 10K! If you missed my recaps on the expo or the 5K, you can find them here and here. After arriving at The World on Tuesday and spending three full days on my feet, I'm not gonna … [Read more...]
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. It started at 6:15am --- which is late for a Disney race! -- so I was up by 5am to get dressed up as my favorite Disney pooch (and … [Read more...]
Okay, as promised, here come the recaps from my adventures in running the 2014 Dopey Challenge! I'll begin with the expo, since that's always a highlight of any race-cation for me. Since you know I loves me some merch... :) Todd and I arrived in Walt Disney World on a frigid Tuesday morning … [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, guys! So I feel as though I’ve been so completely wrapped up in my Dopey Challenge training – physically and mentally – that I sort of forgot to talk about another awesome race-cation I have coming up. In fact, I’m writing this from our resort: the Port Orleans -- French … [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...]
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...]
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I definitely did...it was my birthday weekend! I celebrated my 28th birthday on Friday, and decided to ring in a new year of my life with a 10-mile race. On the beach. In the middle of one of the hottest months of the year. (In case any of you were … [Read more...]
I know I've been kind of quiet for a few days. To sum up...I've been struggling to recover after my less-than-stellar performance in the Long Branch Half (more on that soon!) But in happier news, I also want to officially announce that... I WILL BE RUNNING IN THE DISNEY WINE AND DINE HALF MARATHON … [Read more...]
So yesterday I did something crazy. Like, real crazy. WAY crazier than my decision to register for the Dumbo Double Dare, which I thought was just pure MADNESS at the time (and now just doesn't seem so scary after all). Yesterday, I got completely swept up in the excitement of Walt Disney World's … [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
