JENN: Did you get any runs in last week? MOON: Nope. But this is my LAST week of no running. Next Sunday I’ll be a gym member again. Super excited. How were your runs this week? JENN: They were perfectly okay but nothing inspiring. I got done what I wanted done – including a 4+ miles speed run on Friday – but...

JENN: Happy six months to Christmas! So how was your week in running? MOON: If you had asked, “So how was your week in PACKING?” my answer would have been “Wonderful!!!” I met my box-a-day quota twofold. It’s been crazy-hot outside and I don’t belong to a gym at present, so running has been taking a lower placement on my...

Hey, so, know how I’m running the Marine Corps Marathon for the Diabetes Action Team? That’s ’cause I didn’t make the lottery, and that’s ’cause… I didn’t enter it. See, I looked back over my training for last year’s MCM and found a sticking point in the 20 mile run. I just… didn’t feel like going through that training cycle....

It has begun. I’ve mentioned before that my runDisney nightmares tend to begin months in advance of my races. Oh, yes, I said nightmares – not once have I had a dream where I won the race. No, it’s always something like this: So I’ve started the race – I’m pretty sure in this case it was supposed to be...

JENN: How was running last week? Getting anything in? MOON: Ha, absolutely not! Did you? JENN: Ha, absolutely not much! As I mentioned last week, I was WAAAAAY sick Tuesday. I took a walk anyway but I really shouldn’t have. I was less sick on Wednesday but still not in great shape; I took another walk. Thursday I tried to run and did but...

PSA: When you are sick, you may think to yourself, “I planned to run today, but I don’t think I can.” This is correct. If you don’t think you can run, you shouldn’t; training schedule or no training schedule, you could just make yourself sicker. Don’t run. Good. Okay, now that we have that established: COROLLARY REMARK. Do NOT...

JENN: How was your training last week? MOON: Again, terrible. I’ve had so much work to do lately, it’s kind of crazy. JENN: Well, that’s probably keeping your heart rate up, at least! MOON: Nothing like stress to keep you going. XD Also, being sick always makes long weeks even longer. How was your training? JENN: Last week was fine. Two long runs and a...

I woke up just before six this morning for an early outdoor run and immediately checked the weather – the night before there had been a chance of rain. Outside my window the roads were wet but it wasn’t actively raining; I checked my weather app and it assured me that there was no chance of rain until 9am....

JENN: Remember how last week I said I was going to get fitted for new sneakers? Well, I lied. For the simple reason that new sneakers, purchased in-store, are BLOODY EXPENSIVE and I decided I didn’t want to drop the money just yet. I’ll re-evaluate in a month or so; in the meantime, I should be fine fine with my...
