JENN: All right! So, I understand no running has occurred but you have an exciting reason? MOON: Well, running occurred before Tuesday, but on Tuesday… Well, it’s not that exciting, really. I just fell on the street. JENN: Oh no! Are you okay?! MOON: The fall was pretty nasty. Phone, keys went flying (although I kept my shoes) My...

Yes, I’m back from Walt Disney World. 🙁 Trip/race reports forthcoming, of course, but first I’m knocking out this month’s Kill/Refurb/Marry – for the last time. :/ The infrastructure on the blog hop has changed so much that I can completely understand why it’s ending, but I’m bummed; it was nice to have it in the monthly post rotation. Ah well....

No doubt you are noticing a distinct lack of Moon in this post. She’s been in Minnesota the last few days and we’ve been unable a coordinate a proper Week In Review discussion time, and I’m forging ahead without her. Why? Because: 1) If I don’t post the roundup links, I’ll have too much of a backlog next week...

Hello, humans! Last Sunday Pat and I ventured to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for their last regular operation day of the year. Elizabeth and I covered this park a couple years ago, but since it’s been awhile I figured I’d pop in with my impressions. Let’s roll. Step one: always try to go on a gloomy, slightly rainy day.

I slept through my alarm on the morning of the Marine Corps Marathon. Turns out I don’t have race nightmares; I have prophetic race dreams! My alarms had been set at 4:50am and 5:03am. When I...

JENN: Did you run last week? MOON: Almost every dayyyyy! JENN: Yes! Good runs? MOON: Not too bad! They’ll get better! But this is nothing. Someone ran another marathon! This is so much cooler to talk about. JENN: Haha, yeah, I’ll do a recap later, but: 3 seconds faster than last year! STAGNANT. I mean, there were some mitigating circumstances I’ll talk about later this...

Right. So. Okay. Um. Marine Corps Marathon #2 aka Marathon #3 is this Sunday. #1 went pretty well. I am 100% certain that this rendition will be just as good if not better and I will rock this thing. I am perfectly calm. PERFECTLY CALM. Well, I’m 100% certain I’ll finish. (BARRING ACCIDENTS. KNOCKING ON ALL THE WOOD.) Don’t...
