JENN: How did your training go this week?
MOON: It was a good week for running!
JENN: Yay!
MOON: I’m looking forward to having this week go just as well 😀
JENN: Any new distances or pace records?
MOON: Hahaha, no. But there’s something to be said for consistency.
JENN: Absolutely!
MOON: How was your week?
JENN: Surprisingly decent considering I developed a mild cold by the end of it. Silly boss and her GERMS.
Tuesday morning was unseasonably cool and my run was accordingly decent by outdoor standards.
And on Thursday I went for a run in DC with Nicole. I was draaaaagging but she did manage to propel me up some inclines and the Georgetown waterfront is nice.
MOON: That’s great! I’ve been having problems with making running a part of my daily routine again. For me, this is 90% of the battle. If I am used to it I tend to not get as anxious before a run.
JENN: Well, as Will Rogers once said, 90% of anything is showing up.

MOON: Ha, well said! Any plans for the week?
JENN: Nothing out of the ordinary – fit in runs where I can. I’m tentatively planning a long run for tonight but I still have a very occasional cough; if it gives me trouble I’ll have to cut it short. We’ll see!
You?
MOON: I aim to keep mileage the same, but up the speed.
JENN: Ooh, speedwork! My other nemesis besides the outdoors! And hills! (I have a lot of nemeses.)
MOON: In September I plan to do two 5Ks. Ideally, I would like to break records for both. And I figure changing up my training model might help get me out of a slump.
JENN: You sign up for them yet, or are you still looking?
MOON: I have to register tonight, but I found two that have good causes. One is a “Nun Run” that I’ve coerced Elizabeth into trying. The other is running on a Johns Hopkins team.
JENN: Nice. I look forward to some recap posts! 😀
MOON: Woo!
