Guys! Guess what! Two fantastic things happened this past weekend: 1. Moon ran a race. 2. Elizabeth raced, too! And one excellent thing is happening right now: Moon is writing a solo blog post (!!). This, I know, does not happen very often. I’m rather excited to be bringing news other than “Hey, I ran this past week and...

HILLS. End of recap. No, no, I won’t do that. BUT I COULD. Anyway. The Marine Corps 17.75K took place in Woodbridge, VA, which is about 45 minutes south of me. The last shuttle from the parking lots to the race start was scheduled to leave at 6:25AM, so for safety I was up, dressed, and out the door...

JENN: Get any training done this week? MOON: A little! Working on toning mostly. How have your runs been? Any improvement? JENN: Eh, this week was worse, but I only did one training run; the rest was walking. I had the Marine Corps 17.75K (11.03 mi) on Saturday, the one that got you guaranteed admission to the Marine Corps Marathon when you...

For the sake of flow, this report will be written by Jenn with Moon popping in for notes – don’t worry, these will be clearly delineated.

JENN: Sooooo… we’re back. MOON: So….. We’re back, yeah. JENN: It’s cold here. I want to go back to Disneyland. 🙁 MOON: I want to burrow in a volcano. JENN: That sounds delightful. You have always wanted to go to Hawaii. MOON: I hate adjusting to life after a trip. Especially when the temperature difference is 75 degrees....

… And we are NOT happy with the temperature shift. We would like to speak to a manager, please. Anyway. We ran the Tinker Bell Half Marathon and there were PRs all around and much Disneyland to be had and the trip report begins next week. GET READY. Don’t forget, you can follow FRoA on Twitter @fairestrunofall and on Instagram @fairestrunofall. If...

JENN: Let’s talk Tinker Bell Half Marathon goals! Primary goal: get something like this around our necks. MOON: What’s your biggest goal? JENN: My goal is to have the race done in time that we can shower and change before Disneyland opens! We’re in corral B, so it could happen. BUT they’re also offering post-race massages for $1 a...
