A Very Tennis Kind Of Day

running / 3 Comments

I woke up at 7am, but instead of hitting the gym, I had to get some work done. Because my run with Justin was at 9am, I needed to get some work done beforehand to make up for the fact that I’d be skipping out a bit later. At 8am, though, all work stopped – it was time to get ready. I don’t know what the rest of you do, but I typically don’t shower before going for a run or workout. I’m just going to get all sweaty anyway, so what’s the point? Much easier to just wait and …

Another ass-kicking from Jillian Michaels to get me back on the bandwagon

health and fitness / 18 Comments

I got back from Europe last night, and it was all too soon that I was back to the old grind this morning. I’ve been working from home for a while, and while it sounds like a totally awesome deal, it actually kind of sucks – I sit home by myself all day, in bed, and no matter how much work I do, I feel completely unproductive and lonely. I’ve taken to turning on the television as background noise for company, and this morning when I turned on the Today show, their special guest was none other than Jillian Michaels! …

Free flight for my next race!

running, travel / 4 Comments

Just got VDBed from my early morning flight, as planned. What was unplanned and totally awesome is that they put me in first class for the 2 PM flight! Brilliant. Now if I could just get myself VDBed on that one too… 🙂 Yes, I’m greedy, but I’d totally trade first class for another free roundtrip. There’s nothing like getting VDBed on a flight that’s free thanks to another VDB! Now the question is… how soon can I do another marathon with my bum knee? Looking to the calendar of potentials, I’d love to do Little Grand Canyon and Mountain …

“And then you go over the glacier…” (Night Before the Marathon)

running / 6 Comments

Last night I could not sleep at all, I was so excited. This was bad news for my pre-race prep, as two nights before is considered the crucial night to rest up. I tried to go to bed at 9 PM, but couldn’t fall asleep until around 10:30, and was then woken up at 11 by a friend calling to tell me a song for my playlist. I then woke up at 6 AM to eat another oat bran french toast breakfast at the Marriott, pick up the rental car and my loyal supporter Kristen, and hit the road. We …

THE Jillian Michaels Story (also THE Jenn Widder story)

diet, health and fitness / 12 Comments

By popular request, I’m back posting the Jillian Michaels post before I get to the Providence Half-Marathon race report. (I really suck at posting lately). Last week I heard about something called “Workout in the Park,” sponsored by Self Magazine. It sounded kind of interesting, but the headline was what caught my attention: special guest appearance by Jillian Michaels. I LOVE Jillian Michaels and The Biggest Loser, and working out in Central Park sounded fun, so I signed up and forwarded an Outlook invite to a few friends as well. Saturday morning dawned a bit earlier than I wanted it …
