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....

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...

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...

JENN: What many wonderful things are going down in the world of Moon Running? (It’s like moonwalking, but faster.) MOON: Usually faster. JENN: Invariably! MOON: Moon Running has been average. Nothing befitting a real title or anything. How’s Jenn Running? JENN: Like gin-running, only… actually, I don’t know at what speeds one generally runs gin. I’m going to let this pun pass. (Reluctantly.) MOON: I don’t...

JENN: I GOT MY MOON BACK FOR THIS WEEK! Yay! I’m so glad you’re here! 😁 MOON: Me too! How are you? JENN: Not too shabby! How’s your running thing been going in these many months? MOON: Average. Nothing too great, certainly nothing special. But, I’m sure yours is going quite well. JENN: Pretty decent! I’ve been slowly upping my mileage. The weather’s been so nice...

Hey guys! Still no Moon this week, but she’s thinking of you and still into the running thing! She says: Did you hear about the woman who won the world marathon challenge? 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. Apparently she wore compression socks for that entire 7 day competition. She also won ALL OF THEM. Talk about...

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...

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...

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....
