Sneakers For Sisyphus: Searching For The Perfect Running Shoe

February 15, 2022February 15, 2022Leave a comment

I have been running in earnest for nearly a decade now, and I still haven’t found my elusive perfect running shoe. Oh, I’ve come close. The Nike Zoom Vomero 10 gave me the perfect-fit Cinderella feels, only to betray me as soon as the 11 hit. I’ve been using the 14s lately and they work well, but I don’t...

In Which Brooks Ravenna Sneakers… Are Launches Now?!

March 24, 2021August 16, 20212 Comments

I wrote a blog post about Brooks sneakers a week or two ago. I was going to post it today, and it was going to go like this: There are many reasons the Brooks Ravenna is my GOAT shoe, but none of them would be any help to me if they weren’t so darned consistent. My first Ravennas were...

In Which Jenn Plays Fast & Loose With Running Shoe Sizes

February 9, 2021August 16, 2021Leave a comment

I’ve been a loyal user of the Brooks Ravenna running shoe model for around eight years now, but I like to sprinkle in other models into my routine just to give it a try. For a brief period I was running in Nike Air Zoom Vomero 10s, which I liked a lot, but when Nike released the 11s I fell...

In Which Jenn Tries New Running Shoes

September 6, 2018August 23, 20213 Comments

I read an article a couple months ago about how it’s best to have several different pairs of running shoes. As the thinking went, each inpidual shoe affects your foot strike, gait, muscle use, etc. in subtly different ways. Therefore, if you’re on a shoe cycle, you’re less likely to suffer injuries from overuse. I don’t know how much...

In Which Jenn Gets An Awesome Deal On Running Shoes

February 24, 2016August 10, 2021Leave a comment

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...

In Which Jenn Has One Major Running Shoe Rule

October 15, 2015August 11, 2021Leave a comment

When purchasing running shoes, always select the loudest, most obnoxious colors available. (In all seriousness, though, here are my two running sneakers: Brooks Ravenna 6 and Nike Zoom Vomero 10. The former offers a lot more support and the latter is lighter and speedier. I intend to take the Ravennas with me to the Marine Corps Marathon but keep...

JENN: Did you run last week? MOON: I did! A bit rather slow and steady, but it happened. Did you? JENN: I did! MOON: Great success!

The Fairest Week In Review: 2/03

February 3, 2015August 12, 20212 Comments

JENN: Did you run at all last week? MOON: Yes, I did run! Christian and I ran a lot together, actually. It was quite nice. How was your week? JENN: Yay! It was pretty good. I got a couple of long runs in and while they weren’t what I’d call up to speed they were actually fairly pleasant. So there’s that! How...

Jenn’s Long Run Part I: Preparation

October 2, 2014August 13, 20214 Comments

Tonight’s training run: 20 miles. TWENTY. MILES. Okay. I have the option of doing eighteen if it’s just not clicking for me. But I really want that twenty. If I can do it in four hours, I’ll be happy. Then I’ll have my longest run under my belt and I can being tapering for the Marine Corps Marathon. I’ll...
