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 is still stupid by Cherry Blossom Run, I will be the saddest runner there. I mean, it SNOWED on Saturday.
JENN: Did it? Missed that. But it was certainly cold. It can’t possibly be worse than the WDW 5K – it was 37 degrees.
MOON: You’re more south than me, I was in Baltimore. I’ve begun the moving process once again…
JENN: Oh, right right!
MOON: I’ll be moving (the cat and I) the week leading up to the race. I must admit I’m a bit worried about training and stress.
JENN: It’s only ten miles, though – you’ve got this!
MOON: Yes, but my first outdoor run is always bllleeehhh. Andddddd, I have no access to a treadmill for a week.
JENN: Ah, yes. So hopefully it’ll be mild enough for outdoor running!
MOON: I hope so. I also hope my cat doesn’t kill me in my sleep. She’s a nervous lady and I think living with Christian permanently is going to be quite a change for her. Her version of adjusting last time was crying all morning and not pooping for four days >_>… Cats. Am I right?
JENN: You are indeed correct.

| Yup. |
MOON: You ready for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler?! Team Tigerz, wot!
JENN: I am! I actually got my full 30 miles in last week AND I got new sneakers! (More on the latter later.) I’m going to do a slightly taper just so my legs are fresher but since ten miles is a standard distance for me I’m not too worried.
MOON: Standard distance for me is 5, so I’m working my way up there. Tonight or tomorrow I’m going to do a 10-mile run to see how it goes. Yesterday I’m going to blame my terrible run on tiredness.
JENN: Makes sense to me. Shake it out!

Silly kitty. Tubs are for humans! RUN! RUN! RUN!
It takes all of my willpower NOT to turn the water on when she's in there.
