News flash: it was warm enough for me to go on a MORNING OUTDOOR RUN last week. Awwwww man. Don’t get me wrong, I wore wore sleeves and long pants, but still. I was coming in from my run just as my boyfriend was jetting off to work. He gave me a goodbye kiss, which he followed up with...

JENN: I know you’re crunched for time – TELL ME ABOUT YOUR RUNNING. MOON: WHAT RUNNING? JENN: THE SWISHY BIT WITH THE LEGS AND THE HUSTLE. MOON: A LUXURY AT THE MOMENT. ._. That doesn’t exist. JENN: Awww. Got your eyes on the future prize, I hope? MOON: I don’t know what that means… JENN: That you shall run again, and it will be glorious! MOON: Yeah, eventuallyyyyy....

A great honor was recently bestowed upon me. LOOK WHO LIKED MY TWEET! Yes, one flippant comment about the past and you, too, can be best friends with Bart Yasso. (Clearly we’re BFFs now, right, Bart? Can I call you Bart?) Incidentally, here’s what my cubicle wall looks like now: <Roy Scheider voice>We’re gonna need a bigger wall.</Roy Scheider...

No Moon again this week, guys. 🙁 She’s busily packing for Boston. 🙁 🙁 In the meantime, I don’t have a whole lot to report on the running front. Everything’s been fine. I’ve been experimenting the with the Nikes again, although I think for longer distances I’d better stick with the Brooks Ravennas – I just can’t risk the...

Running can come with commentary. “Sometimes I think this is very impressive. Sometimes I think you might be a bit of a meshugana.” – coworker looking at my cube wall of bibs and medals “Maybe you’re running to much. Maybe you should cut back a little.” – my mom, who thinks I could stand to scale back a bit...

JENN: Been getting any running done lately? MOON: Nope! But exercising, sure, just no running this week. JENN: That’s good! MOON: What about you? JENN: Been knocking out my runs. The gym is getting a little old, though. I love my treadmill, but I’m ready for summer when I will have the schedule to accommodate speed runs and the weather to accommodate running outside if...

On brief Moon hiatus again, guys. No foolin’! We had a meeting set up yesterday to talk, and then her work schedule changed. 🙁 Ah well. Hopefully we can catch her next week! In the meantime, I am thrilled to announce that I MADE THE MARINE CORPS MARATHON LOTTERY! I’m IN, baby! Last year I ran as a fundraiser...

It is done. Because of course of it. All rants aside, how could I not? It’s part of the plan. The bottom line is, I always enjoy a runDisney race. I’m still wildly disappointed as to the removal of the nighttime element – I DUN WANNA GET UP AT 3AM AGAIN I RUN BETTER AT NIGHT WAAAAH – but...

Mitzi Gaynor and Ethel Merman would never lie to me. Certainly not with Donald O’Connor watching. Forgive me as I go on a brief tangent, but I simply must show off my first tattoo. I know, I know; how could I go a non-Disney route? But The Phantom Tollbooth is one of my favorite books EVER, and once I settled...

JENN: Happy Marine Corps Marathon Lottery Entry Opening Day! May we all make it! In less potentially fun news… MOON: My boyfriend was placed in a hospital (as a doctor, not a patient, at least) so I’m moving to Boston. ;-; JENN: Which is sad because WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT CLOSE MOON PROXIMITY? But then of course I hear Boston’s pretty...
