Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I thought I'd start the week off with a recap of the half marathon that Todd and I ran this weekend: the Halloween Half Marathon and Relay in Morristown, NJ! It was a brand new race hosted by Superhero Racing (though we have participated in other races hosted … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! So since I somehow managed to get weeks and weeks behind in my New York City Marathon training recaps, I thought I'd go ahead and catch up now. Especially since we successfully completed the big kahuna -- our 20-mile run -- yesterday, and you all know what that means. IT'S TIME TO … [Read more...]
Hey, all! I promise I'll have New York City Marathon training updates up here soon (but just know that, for the most part, it's all good news for once). :) In the meantime, I did want to share our latest racing adventure: the Ocean City Half Marathon! Otherwise known as that time we ran 5 miles … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! I know I'm overdue with a New York City Marathon training recap (what else is new?) but I wanted to drop in because I felt it was time to announce a few of our plans for this season's racing schedule! Because now that it's FINALLY fall, I'm starting to get pumped about running (and … [Read more...]
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...]
Happy Friday, all! So, last weekend we tackled the big kahuna in any marathon training plan. That's right, ladies and gentlemen... THE 20-MILER IS COMPLETE. Honestly, it wasn't our best long run. Granted, it definitely wasn't the WORST either. We tackled the 20 miles in my old stomping … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Thanks so much for all the love on my recap of The Love Run last week! (See what I did there...?) ;) I know I've sucked at blogging lately, but I wanted to drop in with an update on my New Jersey Marathon training. Because, somehow, it's only TWO WEEKS AWAY. How in the world did … [Read more...]
I'm in the home stretch of training for my two "goal" races of the season, so I thought it would be a fine time to update you all on my progress. Because it's not official until it's on the blog. :) We'll be heading back to Philadelphia for The Love Run this weekend, and this is going to be my … [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
