In Which Jenn Has Forgotten How To Run In The Cold

January 6, 2021August 16, 2021Leave a comment

Hello and welcome to The Fairest Run Of All, 2021 edition! Shall we start out the new year with a little light complaining? Let’s! Because boy howdy, kids, as a denizen of the warm and humid land of Puerto Rico for almost two years now, I have all but forgotten how to run in the cold. I ran a...

In Which Jenn Does NOT Bless The Sands Down In Africa

June 23, 2020August 17, 2021Leave a comment

A view of the mountains from my balcony. They’re there, okay? Just trust me. Today I did not run because of the weather. Was it stormy? No. Aggressively windy? No. Hail? Hurricane? Flood? Extreme heat? All logical for Puerto Rico, but no. It was sand. In the air. FROM THE SAHARA DESERT. Look, The Washington Post even published an...

In Which Jenn Has A Nifty New Running Trail

June 22, 2020August 17, 2021Leave a comment

I’ve found a new running trail! It (mostly) hugs the beach all through Piñones, and features some pretty sweet views of the ocean and sometimes even the mountains.  I tried to take a video during my last long run during my favorite portion of the trail. I can’t say it turned out great, per se, in that it a...

In Which Jenn Runs In San Juan, PR

April 11, 2019August 19, 2021Leave a comment

While we apartment-hunt for a permanent place, Pat and I are staying in a little place by the beach in Ocean Park, in the northern part of San Juan on the coast. It’s not a proper hotel and there’s no gym… but like any good addict, I’m not about to let my training just drop, y’know? Mama needs her...

In Which Jenn Has A Boardwalk Running Suggestion

June 21, 2018August 23, 2021Leave a comment

It’s officially summer, and that means beach trips are just around the corner. And beach runs, of course.  Personally, I love running on Ocean City’s boardwalk. Probably just about any boardwalk, really. The sights! The energy! The ocean breeze! The flatness! The occasional water fountain! But even I have had some tough-ish runs in this wonderful setting, and it’s...

In Which Jenn Runs But Might As Well Be Swimming

June 12, 2018August 23, 2021Leave a comment

As noted, the Wayfarer’s Half was cancelled for potential storms… and then no storms appeared whatsoever. That was Saturday.  Sunday was another story entirely – great buckets dumped from the sky allllllll day, legit rain to which words like “shower” and “sprinkle” did not apply. And this was bad news for me because, having wound up running only a...

In Which Jenn Creates A Running Allegory Or Whatever

May 10, 2018August 26, 2021Leave a comment

Sometimes training runs are easy. And sometimes they’re hard. Some days you love running and some days you hate it. Sometimes you start off fine and then, suddenly, you run into an obstacle. Sometimes you can see it way far ahead in the distance and it makes you nervous and tense. How can you possibly handle this issue? And...

In Which Jenn Notices New Running Paths

April 5, 2018August 26, 2021Leave a comment

One phenomenon I have noticed increasingly over the years as a runner is that I have become hyper aware of running paths. Anytime I’m driving along and I see a trail, I immediately begin to parse out its running potential. This is a great way to suss out new places to train, except that the tragedy is that often...

In Which Jenn Finds A Whole New Running World

February 22, 2018August 27, 20212 Comments

Last weekend I was very brave. I did my longest pre-marathon run of 17 miles… OUTSIDE. WHAT.  For the longest time I was strictly a treadmill girl. But time and circumstances pushed me outside more and more. Then last June I lost my nice, walking distance gym, and vowed to perform as many of my runs as possible outside...

The Fairest Week In Review: 1/03

January 3, 2018August 28, 20212 Comments

Double-wide workout log since I skipped last week. Let’s leap right in! Sunday, December 17 | ran 11.08 miles outside in 1:50 I know I’ve said exactly this before, but: either I’m getting faster or my GPS watch is broken. The fact that it’s freezing outside probably helps… Monday, December 18 | walked 2.46 miles outside in 40 minutes;...
