MOON: So, what I thought was a cold turned out to be a respiratory infection and something else that Christian said (and you never want med students describing your illness with terms you’ve never heard before). :/ I did…. no running since the last time we spoke. XD JENN: Awww. That’s icky. 🙁 I ran 30 miles but there was...

MOON: Sorry about being late – just got hit with a bad cold/flu. It’s still in the beautiful morphing stages so we’ll see what it turns into. :/ It’s really bumming my running schedule out today. How are you? JENN: Bleh. I hate when being sick messes with your running schedule! I find that working out can help when you feel...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Joins A Real Gym
I have joined a gym. It is not my fault. My new apartment, while lovely in many other ways, does not offer its own gym. Not that apartment gyms are generally that great anyway; in my experience maintenance is spotty and equipment is meager. Still, it’s always been nice to have. I briefly considered purchasing my own treadmill, even...

JENN: So how was your training this week? MOON: It was good! Lots of running and exercising. 😀 No big milestones, but it was steady. How was your week? JENN: Good! It’s been an interesting week because I just started using an actual, real gym as opposed to a basement apartment “gym.” More on that in a later post but let me...

JENN: Did you run at all last week? MOON: Yes, I did run! Christian and I ran a lot together, actually. It was quite nice. How was your week? JENN: Yay! It was pretty good. I got a couple of long runs in and while they weren’t what I’d call up to speed they were actually fairly pleasant. So there’s that! How...

JENN: How’s your training lately? MOON: It’s been good! I actually have news. JENN: Oh? MOON: So, I’ve been alternating between running one day, doing something else the next day for a few weeks. This is because I have been having pain in my legs. For some reason, even though I am not tired, it was hard for me to run two days...

JENN: HAPPY NEW YEAR! MOON: Happy New Year to you also! JENN: How was your holiday? MOON: The holidays were relaxing. New Year’s was great (I got to hang out with my BFF Jenn!). How was your holiday? JENN: Pretty good! I got new sneakers and everything. Plus a free hat for my birthday! MOON: Oooh! Yay, new gear. 🙂 JENN: Did you run at all...

JENN: Did you run at all last week? MOON: Only a little bit. Last week was very much like the week before…Did you start back up? JENN: Nope. Just did more boring elliptical. But by God THIS WEEK I am RUNNING. I know I’ve said that before but this time I MEAN IT. I’ll go slow and not too far and...

JENN: Once again, apologies for the late week in review – I just got back from Puerto Rico (more on this later). So, how’s the running thing? MOON: Well, last week wasn’t so good. I hurt my back and then had a bit of a downer week. I spent a lot of time with the cat. Are you back to running...

JENN: Did you sneak in any training this week? MOON: I did! Had some time off with Christian and we ran together a few times. JENN: Awesome! MOON: What about you? How’s the foot? JENN: Eh. It’s better. I do feel it’s making progress. I managed a three mile walk at a NON snail’s pace on Saturday, but I had to stop there...
