Happy cutback week, everybody! Yes, it’s the annual week of my ballet show, which means I will be crazy busy all week with rehearsals and performances and all that nonsense. I could, theoretically, get up early in the morning to squeeze in my usual run schedule, but I’ll be exhausted enough as it is. Anyway, everyone needs a cutback...

JENN: All right! What’s the latest on your hip? Is it treating you better? MOON: I tried running again last night! It only mildly hurts today. So I figure I don’t run today, maybe try again tomorrow! JENN: Seems like a wise plan. Not bothering you in every day life, then? MOON: Only when moving quickly. XD And sleeping on that side is still...

JENN: How was your week in running? MOON: The week was good running-wise. Yesterday I experienced extreme hunger and the only culprit could be maybe too much running and/or too little caloric intake. Has that ever happened to you? JENN: I’m often super hungry the day after a big run, yeah. After all, you’ve got muscles to build up! MOON: It felt like...

MOON: How was your week? JENN: HA. The beginning part or the end part? The beginning part was awesome – I was still in Walt Disney World. The second half kinda sucked a little. I missed a step on the stairs and busted up my foot pretty bad. Not only could I not run all week, I was supposed to have...

So, what’s a good follow up in five glorious days at Walt Disney World and a rainy but ultimately successful half marathon? Why, coming home and promptly falling off the stairs, of course! I don’t know what I did to my foot but I know it NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED if I’d just stayed at Disney. Did I mention...

Strap in, everybody – to counter yesterday’s whine-fest, I’m now going to be overwhelmingly positive! In this particular case, I am both Ted AND Veronica. See this sticky note that lives on my work computer? This sticky note houses all the joy of the foreseeable future. The first two – the Tessy convention (5K recap here) and Outer Banks...

JENN: So how has the running been? MOON: Not too bad, how about you? JENN: Last week was actually surprisingly good. I wound up covering about 40 miles over the course of the week, which is 7 – 10 more than my average. Mind you, it helped that it was a no-ballet week. Ballet starts again today, so I doubt I’ll be...

Two weeks ago, I did not run at all. AT ALL. The time had come. Pictured: Not running. Pictured: Still not running. Did I miss it? I hardly had time to miss it. Pictured: All the time I had. Since then I’ve had a couple good runs and a couple bad runs. I’ve pushed myself. I’ve barely eked it...

JENN: Would you like to start us off with your Grand Impressions of Israel? MOON: A gorgeous land of geographic contrasts. JENN: I’m assuming you didn’t run for fear of startling all the stray cats. MOON: We had planned to run around Tel Aviv… But Tel Aviv happened at the end of the trip. After the desert and walking everywhere-all-the-time, running felt like overkill....

As outlined yesterday, I am CRAZY BUSY this week with rehearsals and performances of my ballet studio’s spring show. You try dancing around en pointe while wearing a giant foam seahorse on your head. Yup, I’m a seahorse.* The ballet is The Fisherman. It all makes sense in context, I swear! My point here is that regular blog posting will...
