Guess Who’s Back, Back Again

Jennifer's back, tell a friend! Sorry for the corniness I couldn't resist a little Eminem. I can't believe I went (blogger) MIA! As most of you know, I started a new job in April. I thought a mini blogging hiatus may occur (mini as in a couple weeks) so I could acclimate to the new role and organization.  Well a couple weeks turned into a month, which turned into a couple months, and now five months. Don't worry, I'm not working 24/7, I just got…

Catching Up: Run, Fun and Food!

I'm backkkk!! What have I been doing besides working + studying (sorta...I need to earn 26 PDUs aka hours..to renew my PMP certification by the end of January)?  I'll highlight the run, fun, and food from the past month: Run Four races to be exact.  I didn't race race them of course, they were all for fun.  First up was the Across the Bay 10K - I ran this last year and it was just as fun.  Leading up to…

Out of the Office

A quick hello from Alaska! I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth or the blogging world.  I had some competing priorities the past couple of weeks and unfortunately Run Jenny Run took the hit.  Oodles of posts to come! PS - Catching up on comments PPS - Catching up on your posts (I have a horrible habit of reading in reverse chrono order)  

Friday Five – Blogs to Read II

Happy Happy Friday! What a week - looking forward to some relaxation and running this weekend. Today I am linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia and the theme is Blogs to Read.  Several of my new favorite blogs participate in this linkup so I thought I would share five fave blogs outside the Friday Five (here is my list from September 2014).  In no particular order:  1. Running the States Image: Running the States Nathasha is from the DC area and as her…

Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition – Planning

After a two month hiatus, welcome to the second edition of Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition!  About 1.5 years ago I started Run Jenny Run on Tumblr. Why Tumblr?  At that time it was newly acquired by Yahoo and I wanted to keep up with the latest social media trend...plus it was billed as easy to use (it is).  Image: Tumblr I signed up for an account without researching other options such as Blogger or WordPress.  After a few months of blogging…

Friday Five – Keyword Searches to Run Jenny Run

Happy Friday! After back to back weekends in Virginia Beach (Shamrock) and Philadelphia (Love Run) I look forward to a DC weekend!

Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition

Welcome to the first edition of Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition .  Okay okay okay....perhaps the blog makeover was not that extreme, but I could not resist the title.

Friday Five – 2015 Goals…Blog Design Edition

Happy Friday! Anyone back to work today? Today I am linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia and the theme is “2015 Goals”.  Because I shared my 2015 goals earlier this week, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to expand upon my blog redesign goal.   1. Self-Hosting  I started this blog in October 2013 and in hindsight I wish I self-hosted and purchased a domain from the beginning.  While I’ve enjoyed using the tumblr platform for its…
