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!...

And now – my recap of the Marine Corps Marathon experience! Yay! My marathon adventure began with a quick trip on the Metro. I live just outside of DC already, but it would’ve been a pain getting to the race start from Bethesda, so – SLEEPOVER WITH NICOLE in DC proper! Yay! Nicole picked me up from Dupont and after...

In the immortal words of Catherine, Called Birdy: I have an inspired notion! Okay, probably other people have already had this notion and this notion may even exist somewhere out there in the universe, but I’m going to talk about it anyway. While I was in Dallas my hotel gym had some of those fancypants treadmills with iPod hookups...

JENN: First thing first! I’m dying to hear about this new Disney dream. MOON: So… we were doing a 5K. But first! The setting: There was a city that was made into a Disney city of sorts.

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...

JENN: Ready for bloggery? MOON: I’m ready! JENN: Yay! Okay, how was your training this week? MOON: Good! Nothing too special to report, but I did try out a new route near my future home. It was crazy humid that morning, but it was nice and not a lot of traffic. JENN: Oooh, any good trails or anything? MOON: Not trails, really… just roads. However,...

JENN: It’s time to break out the confetti and festive hats, because it’s our BLOGIVERSARY! The Fairest Run of All is one year old as of yesterday! (And we would’ve posted about that yesterday but it was Week In Review day and one must adhere to the schedule at all costs, no?) Read our first post here. MOON: Wow!! No...

JENN: Sooooo. Running! How is it? MOON: This week hasn’t been super exciting with scheduled workouts. Buuuut, there are some stories. JENN: Ooh, I love stories! MOON: So, there was a water tubing trip on Sunday. Long story short, we had a problem with the cars. You’re supposed to have one car at the starting point and one at the end (so you...
