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...

Generally speaking in a race it’s happening so constantly that you become numb to it in either case. But I find it weird when on an outdoor training run. Actually, being passed doesn’t bother me that...

JENN: So, just saying: the WDW Marathon is still only 72% sold. No pressure! Merely stating a fact, in case anyone is interested. MOON: Ha, point taken! If I were definitely training for a marathon right now then I would be failing miserably… This week I went for… ONE run? It’s been very busy! Too many graduations, parties, first-world...

Last week, I ran four times. Each was in an entirely different place. IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. 1. Toms River, NJ My family went to my grandmother’s house for Mother’s Day. I figured since I had a little time I might as well fit a run in. I remembered to bring everything I needed – except my headphones....

JENN: Here’s a fun fact: the WDW Marathon is still only at 70% capacity. The Goofy Challenge is at 97% but I dunno if you wanted to do that one anyway. MOON: Ha, thanks for the update! I’m still in decision limbo. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe? JENN: Well, there’s clearly still time to think. Have you signed up for the Baltimore Marathon? MOON: Can’t quite...

Dear Future Jenn, So you’re going running outside tomorrow morning. Good for you! I know you love your treadmill, but running outside is good for your body and good for race prep. And isn’t it nice when your run is out of the way early and you can do whatever you want after work? It is! It is nice!...
