Losing weight, one mile at a time
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...]
Hey, guys! So, I do have an update on my second week of training for the New York City Marathon -- plus some karate-related news! -- but I'll share that later this week. In the meantime, Todd and I ran our annual pizza 5K for the third year in a row last Wednesday, and it was just too delicious … [Read more...]
If you've ever read my blog, you probably already know that I am madly, desperately, INSANELY in love with PRO Compression socks. And since I get questions about them all the time, I figured hosting a giveaway would be a great opportunity to help my fellow runners #keepittight...so, today, I'm … [Read more...]
So, unfortunately, I'm not going to running the Princess Half Marathon this weekend. I tackled both the Dopey Challenge and the Glass Slipper Challenge back-to-back last year, and, well...let's just say it's not something I can pull off every year, financially speaking. Still can't control myself at … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! Thanks so much for all the well wishes and congratulations on Todd's marathon -- he really appreciates it! (He does stalk my blog constantly, I can assure you...he just doesn't actually comment much, haha). So since I posted my recap of the Philadelphia Marathon as a spectator (you can … [Read more...]
Okay, I suck. I basically fell off the face of the Earth for a few weeks after the Disneyland Half Marathon -- sorry about that! I've been keeping up with all of you and your adventures, just not commenting much...I swear! Long story short, I've been swamped with work lately. When you're a … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! I'll share my workouts from last week in the next day or two, but first, I wanted to post my slightly-belated recap from last Wednesday's Downtown Westfield Pizza 5k! Much like the Firecracker 4-Miler on July 4th, I run this race every year...and, back in 2011, it was my very first … [Read more...]
I'm finally here with a recap of the Superhero Half Marathon! And here's a bit of shameless self-promotion: the article I wrote about the race for the local newspaper, you know, in case you wanted some more information about the event or something like that. :) First, a little background. I ran … [Read more...]
Hey, all! Now I'm just a day late on my weekly training post -- I'd call that progress. :) Mon., April 28: 5-mile run Tue., April 29: 3-mile bike ride, 2-mile run Wed., April 30: Rest Thur., May 1: 3-mile run Fri., May 2: 4-mile run and Taekwondo class Sat., May 3: Thai … [Read more...]
Hey, all! So, I'm back with another race recap of last weekend's Rutgers Unite Half Marathon in New Brunswick...because it's spring, and some people get a little bit overzealous and sign up for a whole bunch of races without thinking things through... ;) I can also report that Todd and I both … [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
