JENN: Did you run last week? MOON: Almost every dayyyyy! JENN: Yes! Good runs? MOON: Not too bad! They’ll get better! But this is nothing. Someone ran another marathon! This is so much cooler to talk about. JENN: Haha, yeah, I’ll do a recap later, but: 3 seconds faster than last year! STAGNANT. I mean, there were some mitigating circumstances I’ll talk about later this...

Right. So. Okay. Um. Marine Corps Marathon #2 aka Marathon #3 is this Sunday. #1 went pretty well. I am 100% certain that this rendition will be just as good if not better and I will rock this thing. I am perfectly calm. PERFECTLY CALM. Well, I’m 100% certain I’ll finish. (BARRING ACCIDENTS. KNOCKING ON ALL THE WOOD.) Don’t...

JENN: Did you run last week?! MOON: YES! Thus ends the boring Weekly Report. On my part, at least. JENN: WAIT NO – How were your runs?! MOON: My first run was… interesting. I had to go downtown for something and figured running would probably take less time than driving, so off I went. It was chilly, but the day was nice. Turns out...

Oops. Look, when runDisney races sell out within a day, I can get over it. When they DON’T and then hover at 98% full for WEEKS, I can’t take it. I succumb. I’m registered for the 2016 WDW Marathon. This is gonna be a weird one – to save money, I plan to fly in on Saturday morning, get...

Please welcome the ever-fabulous Elizabeth, who comes to us today with her very first guest post! She ran the Annapolis Run for the Light House 5K last weekend. Here’s her take. So I’m new to this whole recap thing, and there really isn’t much to report, as I was just doing a 5K, but the Light House 5K went...

Remember how well my 20 mile practice run for the Marine Corps Marathon went last year? I did it in 3 hours and 33 minutes! Still, spending that kind of time on the treadmill wasn’t exactly my all time favorite thing, so for this year’s training I elected to sign up for the National Capital 20 Miler, a perfectly...

JENN: Ladies and gentlemen, Moon is rather busy this week, so I’ve instead pulled in the intrepid Elizabeth for this week’s week in review. She’s running a 5K this weekend! What happens in La Cava gets posted on the internet. SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS 5K! ELIZABETH: Well… I know you ran the Light House Half Marathon a few...

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...

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 Is A Poor 5K Recapper & Great Balcony Viewer
So, I don’t know, I feel like a should recap all my races, even if they weren’t that exciting. With that in mind, I give you: the 2015 Tessitura Network 5K, which is held annually during the conference I attend. You may recall that last year’s went great. This year’s? Not so much. Oh, it wasn’t that bad. It...
