This week in Jenn’s training log: I begin to get overconfident. Sunday | rest That’s not why. Monday | 12.11 miles on the treadmill in 2:00 There it is. I’m, like, SMACK on goal pace. The goal-est pace. So I’m like, come at me, marathon! I need to keep reminding myself I’ve been hurt by goals before… I was...

Happy Valentine’s Day! Here’s how I’m celebrating. Anyway. Now that Gene has walked us home we can discuss last week’s long run. I’ll tell you one thing: you want an empty gym, you go way early the morning after the Super Bowl. Sunday | rest We had a couple friends over for the Superb Owl. Still maintain I would...

I’ve impulse-bought races on occasion before, but this is a new one: last weekend I impulse-entered a marathon.

But since I survived the frigid temperatures of the WDW Marathon, I’m now a little more willing to take my...

Sunday | rest Monday | ran 10.12 miles outside in 1:50 Riding the high of my chilly but successful marathon, I made the mistake of thinking that maybe my lungs had adapted to the cold. I went for an outdoor run with...

I love being a runner. Sometimes I even love running. I love feeling that I’m keeping my body in good shape. I love races. I love feeling accomplished. But I gotta say, that week after a marathon where I don’t have to run at all is pretty awesome. So much time! So much sleep! Segue into this, oh, ever...

If I were asked to pick a single word to describe the WDW Marathon, I would go with this: AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! All of which is to say that I had a great weekend, weather notwithstanding, and can’t wait to get started on my trip report and race recap! Before we get there, some housekeeping in the form of last...

Heeey! And we’re back. I’m feelin’ kinda fried so let’s jump right into the workout recap, which is a two week edition since it’s been so long. It’s unremarkable except I think that five runs in a row may be my streak record? Pretty impressive stuff, I know. Sunday, Dec 18 | rest Monday, Dec 19 | 4.19 miles...

I have done it! I have completed the rite of passage! I can call myself a real runner now! That’s right: I lost a toenail. I don’t know why. I didn’t injure it in any way. And I will not describe the progression of normal-to-abnormal toenail because probably you’d rather hear about anything, anything else in the world instead,...
