Hey guys! Still no Moon this week, but she’s thinking of you and still into the running thing! She says: Did you hear about the woman who won the world marathon challenge? 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. Apparently she wore compression socks for that entire 7 day competition. She also won ALL OF THEM. Talk about...

I have been much skinnier. But I have never been stronger. I have weighed less. When I could do less. I am not always happy when I look in the mirror. But I am always happy when I look at my bibs and medals. Sometimes it’s kind of like this, starting at 1:37. (I mean, minus the sex-narcolepsy angle.)...

Nothing so impressive as my wildly cheap running shoes, but I’ve collected some deals and steals for ya! First up, a couple from former giveaway sponsors: if you have Target’s Cartwheel app (if you don’t, you SHOULD; it’s awesome), Soapbox Soaps shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash are 35% off. Yowza. Find the deal under the Beauty category, add it to...

Sorry, kids, still no Moon this week – she remains busy with this “real life” thing she keeps talking about (what a weirdo!). So you’re left with Jenn. Bummer. But! You know what isn’t a bummer? All the live broadcasts the Disney Parks Blog has been doing! Yesterday they streamed Disneyland’s afternoon parade and while I wasn’t able to watch...

Hi, my name is Jenn, and I just got myself a brand new pair of Brooks Ravenna 6 running shoes, normally $110, for $56. I KNOW! I was psyched too! Pretty! But not the all time prettiest. How did I accomplish such an amazing feat? Well, Brooks recently came out with their Ravenna 7, so they’re unloading all their...

There is a thing. There is a thing highly recommend to runners, especially after a race or hard workout. It’s a thing you could even say is considered practically mandatory. Well, I WILL NOT DO IT. NOT NOW, NOT EVER. What is this thing that I cannot accept? It is the cold shower. CAN’T. WON’T. HOT SHOWERS OR DEATH....

I’ve been putting this post off for quite a while due to chronic boredom. Not that I’m bored with running and racing, but rather my race schedule was boring. For some time my first planned race wasn’t until September. September. Ugh. What kind of runner can wait that long??? Well, the kind who didn’t enjoy last year’s Cherry Blossom...

Heyyyy! Jenn again. Guess what I did on Tuesday? A FIFTEEN MILER! What with various taper periods, injuries, and a general lack of get-it-togetherness, this is my longest training run since August. Yikes. (In my defense, I did run two marathons and a twenty miler in the interim. But still.) Did you know Twitter can be a huge help...

Internal roundup! Yes, it’s time once again for that favorite of posts: the one that links to all those other posts. I did it last year, but a lot (say, about a year’s worth) of stuff has happened since then, so here’s last year’s list augmented with new stuff. Woo! Let me know if you think I’ve missed any...
