Heyyyy! Jenn again. Guess what I did on Tuesday? A FIFTEEN MILER! What with various taper periods, injuries, and a general lack of get-it-togetherness, this is my longest training run since August. Yikes. (In my defense, I did run two marathons and a twenty miler in the interim. But still.) Did you know Twitter can be a huge help...

Another Jenn-only week in review, but this time as less of a downer – I had a GREAT run this week. Like, you know the kind of run where you say “I will run until X” and then you get to X and you keep going for awhile longer ’cause you feel good and know you can no problem?...

Settle in, folks – it’s time for giveaway #2. BUT FIRST: a review of the product you could win! I was contacted about a month ago by SLS3 with an offer to try out their Dual Pocket Running Belt, categorized as for women and billed as waterproof. I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of a running belt, but...

Hey guys! Moon is still AWOL, so it’s just Jenn again. I was hoping I could liven up my one-woman show with an exciting vacation announcement today, but it fell through. 🙁 🙁 🙁 The good news, though, is that I managed a ten miler last night, so: things are looking up on the running front! I still have...

Just Jenn this week – Moon has been a busy bee. I have a HUGE backlog of links for the roundup, though, so I’m forging ahead despite the fact that I was on the Beltway for SEVEN HOURS last night. I know it was snowing, people, but GET IT TOGETHER. Hmm? What? My training? Oh. Well. The week after...

Mini trip report time! I’m covering my quick weekend trip for the WDW Marathon. To read all the posts in this report, click here. Did I dream it? Did I dream that I dreamed it? In either case, I sat bolt upright in bed. Had I slept through my alarm and missed the WDW Marathon??? 2:48am. Whew! Also: damn....

I have made a poor show of things – I haven’t written up anything about my marathon trip. I will. I promise I will. Soon! In the meantime, I just want to say this: Flying down, grabbing your bib, running the race, flying home? TOTALLY WORTH IT. They say every mile is magic. This is a lie. Miles 15...

On this day last year I was headed to WDW for the Dopey Challenge. I can’t say my heart isn’t breaking over the fact that I am not doing the same this year, but it helps to know that the horizon isn’t entirely barren: I am doing the marathon on its own! As I mentioned before, this thirtieth-birthday-present-to-myself is...

JENN: Happy new year! How’s it going so far? MOON: It’s okay. How’s yours? JENN: I’ve got a bit of the post-holiday blues – oh to be young and have a week off work again! – but it’s good. My Achilles is FINALLY starting to feel better! I’ve even gone for a couple runs since my break, and they were pretty good....
