Yup, you read that right. I leave for Walt Disney World TOMORROW. Tomorrow morning! I think you all know how that makes me feel. I know it’s 100% trite to say it, but I can scarcely believe this day has finally arrived. I feel like we’ve been planning it for decades. Scores. EONS. But it’s time! It’s finally time!...

MOON: Hahaha, no. But there’s something to be said for consistency. JENN: Absolutely! MOON: How was your week? JENN: Surprisingly decent considering I developed a mild cold by the end...

JENN: So how was your training this week? MOON: Not so good this week. I’ve had a stomach bug most of the week. 🙁 JENN: Oh no! Well, that’s definitely a good reason not to run. MOON: I’m sure yours was better! JENN: Mine was pretty good. I pulled out an okay 15 miler on the treadmill on Monday and then managed two...
