Jennifer Lopez Marathon

Jennifer Lopez Marathon? What happened to that then? In my last post here J-Lo and the Twins, I mentioned that she was training to run a marathon in September, but lately all news of that proposal has gone very quiet indeed.

Well, maybe Jennifer Lopez has decided it was a bad idea, especially as motherhood has not taken over the major portion of her life. Or at least that's what you'd think. We had a sneaky look at the blog on her own website and, well, no surprises but that blog didn't get updated between January 14 and August 16.

In that last post she has this to say:

"During our formative years, my sister Lynda and I had very limited resources. Being cognizant, from personal experience, of what many people live without has provided both of us with a unique understanding of where the disparities in our society are and how important it is for each of us to try to address them - to make a tangible difference.

The number of women and children who live in an environment without access to quality health care or health education is far too great for us to ignore. After the birth of my newborns, whom I realized were receiving fantastic medical care, I also realized that my passion was not to just try to increase the access to healthcare for underserved women and children, but to try to improve the quality of this care for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay."

Well that was it. Nothing added or taken away.

One gets the feeling that J Lo is selling her fans a little short in her own blog - which is supposed to be a running commentary on what is happening in her life even if she doesn't write it herself. She should have her PR person at least keeping it up to date for her fans.

By not keeping that blog up to date with news of the true Jennifer Lopez, it is left to less well informed blogs to write what they want and sometimes that news can be erroneous and in some cases even damaging. So come on Jennifer, give your PA a little directive here and make sure that blog stays up to date!

While we're about it, if anyone is considering taking up singing as a profession, you can find out about online singing lessons through that page. It's a pretty good idea to get tuition before getting out there on stage and trying to emulate your vocal heroes and heroines.
