Right. So. Okay. Um. Marine Corps Marathon #2 aka Marathon #3 is this Sunday. #1 went pretty well. I am 100% certain that this rendition will be just as good if not better and I will rock this thing. I am perfectly calm. PERFECTLY CALM. Well, I’m 100% certain I’ll finish. (BARRING ACCIDENTS. KNOCKING ON ALL THE WOOD.) Don’t...

JENN: Did you run last week?! MOON: YES! Thus ends the boring Weekly Report. On my part, at least. JENN: WAIT NO – How were your runs?! MOON: My first run was… interesting. I had to go downtown for something and figured running would probably take less time than driving, so off I went. It was chilly, but the day was nice. Turns out...

JENN: You run at all last week? MOON: Nope! JENN: Restful! MOON: Nope! I miss running so much I’ve had TWO dreams in a row about going for a run. Two night in a row, rather. JENN: Any hope on the horizon? MOON: Perhaps. I don’t want to jinx myself. JENN: Okay, well, I’ll hope for you! You have a 5K coming up, right? MOON: Novemberishhhhh. Three miles...

When purchasing running shoes, always select the loudest, most obnoxious colors available. (In all seriousness, though, here are my two running sneakers: Brooks Ravenna 6 and Nike Zoom Vomero 10. The former offers a lot more support and the latter is lighter and speedier. I intend to take the Ravennas with me to the Marine Corps Marathon but keep...

JENN: I’m gonna go make some tea; you tell me how your week in running has been. MOON: It’s been rather uneventful. Last week was the gloomiest week in recent history. They were handing out sand bags because of the hurricane. o_O I thought about investing in a boat, even. JENN: I hear running the track on cruise ships is good fun. Depending...

Can you run without music? I can – to a point – kind of – but UGH. I also sweat. Therefore, running-specific headphones are a must for me. Which is why I was so incredibly distressed when I couldn’t find my yurbuds last week – they’re the headphones with the in-ear twist-lock buds, and then the model I use also...

Please welcome the ever-fabulous Elizabeth, who comes to us today with her very first guest post! She ran the Annapolis Run for the Light House 5K last weekend. Here’s her take. So I’m new to this whole recap thing, and there really isn’t much to report, as I was just doing a 5K, but the Light House 5K went...

Remember how well my 20 mile practice run for the Marine Corps Marathon went last year? I did it in 3 hours and 33 minutes! Still, spending that kind of time on the treadmill wasn’t exactly my all time favorite thing, so for this year’s training I elected to sign up for the National Capital 20 Miler, a perfectly...

MOON: So! Tell me about your week in running. JENN: My week was okay, I guess. I ran on the treadmill, then I ran in Ocean City, then I had the National Capital 20 Miler, which kinda blew but I’ll talk more about the later this week. You? MOON: Well, I got lots of walking in? Still working a lot. Between three different jobs...

JENN: Ladies and gentlemen, Moon is rather busy this week, so I’ve instead pulled in the intrepid Elizabeth for this week’s week in review. She’s running a 5K this weekend! What happens in La Cava gets posted on the internet. SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS 5K! ELIZABETH: Well… I know you ran the Light House Half Marathon a few...
