Item 1: I signed up for the Marine Corps 17.75K at Nicole‘s urging ’cause she was all THE MARINE CORPS MARATHON IS A LOTTERY THIS YEAR WE NEED THIS. See, if you...

JENN: THE SUN IS OUT. MOON: I KNOW! I’m sitting in it right now. 😀 JENN: Amazing.

For awhile, there was the small but real possibility that I might be able to move to Orlando. Last week that hope was dashed. So – what does one do in the wake of such a disappointment?

JENN: First things first: I must apologize for the slow blog week previous. Things got a little hectic and I fell down on the job. But as Rafiki so wisely says: What does it matter? It’s in the past! So I soldier on. MOON: I’m sure your adoring fans were on the edge of their seats. All is well,...

JENN: So, the big news of the week, runDisney-wise, was that there is a new half marathon at Disneyland themed to – wait for it – The Avengers. Your thoughts? MOON: I did laugh out loud when I got that email in my inbox. And no, I haven’t seen the movie. JENN: Me neither. I… don’t care. Like at all. I...
