Last week I came to a startling realization: I was actually excited about my planned 16 mile long run. I expressed this unexpected feeling on Twitter and received the expected response: that I was crazy, and everyone who had a long run on the docket was dreading it. And so I thought: what if I explained how I got myself...

Do you have a marathon song? Maybe you trained with it, maybe you just listened to it during your marathon. Maybe you chose it for the lyrics, maybe you chose it for the beat. Maybe you played it to start your race – or end it – or both. No matter what makes it your marathon song, the moment...

Are there any things in your daily life that make you think of Disney even thought in the absolutely technical sense they have nothing whatsoever to do with Disney? I’ve been running across this phenomenon largely as regards music. Remember that time Estelle and I watched the Burudika concert and the crowd did a dance to Shakira’s “Waka Waka?” Well,...

JENN: Once again, apologies for the late week in review – I just got back from Puerto Rico (more on this later). So, how’s the running thing? MOON: Well, last week wasn’t so good. I hurt my back and then had a bit of a downer week. I spent a lot of time with the cat. Are you back to running...
