2026 TCS New York City Marathon - Valerie Pennefather This year, I registered for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon because I want to raise awareness and funding for National Ovarian Cancer Coalition . I'm running in honor of my Mom, who passed away in 2004 from Ovarian Cancer. I want to experience this run remembering her kind spirit, her creativity...

World Ovarian Cancer Day is Friday, May 8th! (LINK IN BIO) I’m running the NYC Marathon in memory of my Mom, Lynne Lonigro! I want to do my part, to make sure as many families don’t have to go through the same loss of a loved one to Ovarian Cancer, as my family and I did. Please support us by donating to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition? LINK IN BIO!! Every dollar you raise supports the NOCC mission—funding research, education, and awareness initiatives (including our new podcast launching in 2025!), as well as quality-of-life resources like meal delivery (now a 6-month program), peer and caregiver support groups, financial assistance, grief programs, and more. Your outreach truly matters.

It’s my 21st anniversary of being a Personal Trainer! I have not posted since I was pregnant with this sweet 10 month old. I have been busy training my fantastic clients and being Mom to my two kiddos! I’m forever grateful for my job that serves health to some wonderful people, I would have never met otherwise! Thank you for thousands of hours of talks, fun and workouts! Much love!💕 🎊💪🏻

I’m celebrating my 20 year anniversary of being a NYC Personal Trainer!!🎉🎊💪🏻 I’m so happy I listened to my inner guidance in July 2003 and went for it! Being of service to my clients to help them reach their healthiest selves has been so fulfilling! I have LOVED my clients, so many different, fantastic humans, that I would never have met otherwise! Spending hours with them each week has been a joy and made my “job” feel not like a job at all! I have evolved so much over the years in my beliefs about fitness, coming to a place where inner health, functioning properly without injury, feeling strong and good in the body you were given, has bypassed counting carbs, a number on the scale, showing off, and only working out for aesthetics (although it’s a nice benefit😉). Thank you to all my clients for choosing to work with me and staying for years! You have treated me so well and I’m so grateful! I always thought I would do a cool photo shoot for my 20 yr. anniversary, but being 9 months pregnant with my second child, perhaps I’ll wait until 25.😉 Much love to all that have supported me in my profession over the years!💕

Just a little snapshot of what I love for lunch at home. Simple, plant based, all organic, and colorful! Carrot, tomatoes, vinegar beets, a sour pickle, 1/4 of avocado, scoop of hummus, broccoli sprouts, and over brown basmati rice (made with coconut milk, leftover from the night before.) I love sour and tangy tastes while I’m pregnant. Hope it inspires your healthy lunch!
