In Which Jenn Runs The Virtual Parks Half Marathon

October 24, 2020August 16, 2021Leave a comment

I’ve said this before, but just to reiterate: I’m not really a virtual race kinda gal. I only generally do them if a premium is REALLY good or if a race gets virtual-ized and it’s the only option available if I want to recoup my investment. However, when the Parks Half Marathon went virtual, I signed up even though I...

In Which Jenn Has A Rough Sketch Of A Race Schedule?

May 13, 2020August 18, 20213 Comments

And now for race schedule that might get cancelled. Kidding! Kidding. Hopefully they all happen. Certainly the virtual ones will. I’ve never been a virtual race girl. Kudos if they’re your jam, but I find the medal without the full experience of a race attached to be underwhelming. Still, the world being but it is in the age of...

In Which Jenn Swims The Parks Half Marathon

September 12, 2018August 23, 20212 Comments

“It’s a biathlon,” said man behind me to his running companion around mile 4 of the Parks Half Marathon. “We’re swimming AND running!” Indeed. Not that any of us could be surprised – the forecast had called for rain on the day of the Parks Half Marathon for at least a week. It had rained the night before. When...

The Fairest Week In Review: 9/11

September 11, 2018August 23, 2021Leave a comment

Heeey! So after a largely uneventful August, September begins to ramp things up. I had a successful (if damp) half marathon last Sunday – recap coming soon of course – and this Sunday I head out for the Outer Banks (theoretically – Florence, be kind… Pat thinks you might be mean so prove him wrong). Then after that, it’s time...

In Which Half A Marathon Wasn’t Enough

September 26, 2017August 30, 20212 Comments

Don’t judge his grammar here; he’s not a morning person. (Also: pork butt.) One of the perks for locals of running the Parks Half Marathon was historically that the race ended right in downtown Bethesda. You could finish your race and then stroll straight home! But then they do say all good things must come to an end, and...

In Which Jenn Has An Excellent Parks Half Marathon

September 13, 2017August 30, 20212 Comments

I didn’t mention this half much in advance of my running it, and here’s why: I didn’t want to jinx myself. I’ve gone into races with fanfare before, bellowing about how I was going to crush it, and wound up crushingly disappointed. Which is guess is tangentially related, but not really what I’m going for. Well, the Parks Half...

In Which Jenn Finally Has A Race Schedule In Place

February 19, 2016August 10, 20217 Comments

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...

In Which Jenn Recaps The Parks Half Marathon

September 16, 2015August 11, 20212 Comments

I was standing under an eave watching the rain come down when Pat picked me up to take me to the Parks Half Marathon start line (have I ever mentioned that my boyfriend is the best ever?). This would seem an inauspicious beginning, I needn’t have feared – it was to be a perfect day for running. The Parks...

The Fairest Week In Review: 9/15

JENN: Did you run last week after our collective week of rest? MOON: Once?? I will not bore the internet with my tales of working FOREVER ALL THE TIME. I know that you ran, though!! ❤ JENN: Hey, once is better than nothing! Yup, but very gently – I did four 5 mile runs a very easy pace indeed. Pleasant, but not...

In Which Jenn Has Her Race Calendar Planned For Real This Time

July 2, 2015August 11, 2021Leave a comment

And now for another topic where you can ignore everything I said about it before. I’m talkin’ bout my race schedule! I’ve been alluding to it in bits and pieces over the past couple weeks, but now that it’s all settled I like having it all set out in one place. It looks so tidy, no? 1. Tessitura Network...
