Not that I’m obsessing or anything, but did I mention that the Marine Corps Marathon is this Sunday? And that it’s my first marathon ever? I’m totally not freaking out at all. Not remotely. Nope.

JENN: Did you run at all this week? MOON: Ouiii. I’m actually a bit burned out JENN: Awww. How are you burned out? MOON: I’ve decided that I need to add strength training in again.
