JENN: So how was your week? I know you did some pre-Cherry Blossom Ten Miler training runs. MOON: I did! I think, all in all, I did three trial runs. Each trial was better than the last, but Saturday and Sunday is another story. How was your week? JENN: Eh. My practice runs weren’t very good but what’re ya gonna do. It’s...

JENN: Okay, I know this isn’t REALLY relevant, but I want to start off this post by showing everyone the AMAZING thing Pat bought for my cats. Yes? Fantastic? Unbeatable? Basically the best thing ever? Good. We can talk about running now. Moon, take it away! MOON: This is relevant! About a month ago my old roommate informs me over...

Farewell and adieu to my fair Brooks Ravennas Farewell and adieu to my Ravenna 5s For the 6 has replaced you and they’re purging your inventory And never n’more shall we see you again </end weird Jaws reference that doesn’t even rhyme> I have been hit by another runner rite of passage: my preferred sneaker is being phased out. I’ve...

Greetings from your not-so-frequent-solo-poster Moon! I feel honored to be writing today, April 1, my favorite holiday. I also find it ironic that a solo post is due for you, readers, on April Fools’ Day (it’s not a joke, this is a real post!). Hmm—and this is just a side note—I auspiciously also had a dream earlier this week about Chaucer...

JENN: How was your week? Did you run at all? MOON: Ja! I had two pretty good runs and yesterday I experienced a slow, excruciating run. JENN: Oh, those are always good times. Outside or on the treadmill? MOON: Ha, treadmill. The weather still plays with us. JENN: So it does. I demand 60 degrees morning minimum or nice outdoor dice. MOON: If the weather...

MOON: How was your weeeeeeek?! JENN: Not baaaaad. BAAAAAA! MOON: (I love typing with hyperbole!) JENN: Haha, good. How was Florida? MOON: Florida was nice, but my goodness was I reminded of the treacherous humid conditions JENN: That sounds lovely. We haven’t even broken 70 degrees here yet (fingers crossed for Thursday!). Did you get a run in? MOON: I did! We ran three times! Besides...

JENN: HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! (And Wine & Dine registration day!) MOON: Yay for the Patron Saint of Ireland! JENN: Unfortunately, the holiday does mean I’ll probably fall short of my running goals this week as I won’t be able to block out large enough chunks of time for my usual long runs. On the positive side, the reason for this...

JENN: How was your week? Any running? MOON: A little, not a lot. :/ It was not a good week for running. I blame the weather. JENN: Yeah, ditto. Well, it wasn’t terrible. I did clock over 20 miles. But I only ran twice – on the snow day my gym shut down at noon and I was more interested in sleep....

JENN: Sooooooo how about that Disneyland Paris Half announcement? Are you in? I think you’re in! MOON: Ha, I want to say yes. We’ll have to talk logistics later, but I think if we go we should make most of our time there (I know you’ll want to be in Disneyland the whole time!). JENN: Indeed! My only reservation is I feel...

As I continue to adjust to real gym life, I make small discoveries. Apparently working out among many is far different from working out among few. Go figure. For example: do you experience locker room envy? No, I don’t mean feeling jealous that other people are skinnier or more toned or whatever than you are. What I mean is...
