marathon

a measure of progress

July 2, 2015      47 Comments

I find that it's hard, in the heat of the moment, to see progress along any kind of journey. Be it fitness or weight loss or anything where we start from Point A and move along a steady path, I think we remain too close to the matter at hand. My head tells me that I've done good work. I have ...

epiphany

February 19, 2015      13 Comments

It's been just over a month since the marathon, and contrary to what more experienced marathoners have promised, I am not laboring under any kind of "runner's amnesia." I am still quite adamantly opposed to running another 26.2 miles. Ever. I guess it's a case of "know thyself." And I know, ...

Mr PugRunner drove us back to the Dolphin, where I hobbled, barefoot to our room (much to the amusement of the valet). In the car, I had chowed down on a tube of cinnamon applesauce (yes, it was the best applesauce ever), and was looking forward to a scalding shower, and a dip in some epsom ...

race report: wdw marathon {1.11.2015}

January 19, 2015      54 Comments

I was awake before the alarm. In fact, I had only managed 40 minutes of sleep the entire night. And that's being extremely generous. There was nothing I could do but shower and change into my race clothes. Mr PugRunner was incredibly sweet and supportive about it, but that didn't stop me from ...

I am home. And I am a marathoner. I have a lot to process. It was a crazy, hard, wonderful and emotional weekend. I'm having all the feelings, and I think I'm just too tired to make sense of most of it. Thank you for all your kind thoughts, messages, encouragement and love. You are all so ...

weekly recap: 9/7 – 9/13

September 15, 2014      21 Comments

It's the second week of September and Week 12 of marathon training! I don't know why, but it is starting to feel so incredibly near. All our ducks seem to be in a row as far as travel and the rest of the weekend are concerned, so it's just a matter of those pesky 26.2 miles. Easy peasy. It's been ...

The @freskincare DETOX ME post-sweat mask is a great way to combat the sun and humidity. And the cold and wind. And central heat and air conditioning. And everything in between! With ingredients like Kaolin Clay to draw out impurities and absorb excess oil and Blue Azulene to reduce inflammation and soothe damaged and stressed skin, I know my skin can be both protected and restored post-run. 

I apply the DETOX ME mask after my runs, and let the natural ingredients do their work to detox, exfoliate, and purify. I leave the shower feeling refreshed, glowing, and ready to face my next adventure!

Order today at https://www.freskincare.com/JENNL for 40% off DETOX ME and THE DETOX SET + take an additional 10% OFF with code JENNL at checkout!
