JENN: How was your week? Any running? MOON: A little, not a lot. :/ It was not a good week for running. I blame the weather. JENN: Yeah, ditto. Well, it wasn’t terrible. I did clock over 20 miles. But I only ran twice – on the snow day my gym shut down at noon and I was more interested in sleep....

So… scrap everything I said about future runDisney plans. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you know I’ve been waffling about this year’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon for a good week. Originally I was not going to do it, OBVIOUSLY. I had other plans and it would be good to save money anyway. Then early registration opened...

JENN: Sooooooo how about that Disneyland Paris Half announcement? Are you in? I think you’re in! MOON: Ha, I want to say yes. We’ll have to talk logistics later, but I think if we go we should make most of our time there (I know you’ll want to be in Disneyland the whole time!). JENN: Indeed! My only reservation is I feel...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Has A Different Kind Of Locker Room Envy
As I continue to adjust to real gym life, I make small discoveries. Apparently working out among many is far different from working out among few. Go figure. For example: do you experience locker room envy? No, I don’t mean feeling jealous that other people are skinnier or more toned or whatever than you are. What I mean is...

MOON: So, what I thought was a cold turned out to be a respiratory infection and something else that Christian said (and you never want med students describing your illness with terms you’ve never heard before). :/ I did…. no running since the last time we spoke. XD JENN: Awww. That’s icky. I ran 30 miles but there was...
The Fairest Week In Review: 2/18
MOON: Sorry about being late – just got hit with a bad cold/flu. It’s still in the beautiful morphing stages so we’ll see what it turns into. :/ It’s really bumming my running schedule out today. How are you? JENN: Bleh. I hate when being sick messes with your running schedule! I find that working out can help when you feel...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Joins A Real Gym
I have joined a gym. It is not my fault. My new apartment, while lovely in many other ways, does not offer its own gym. Not that apartment gyms are generally that great anyway; in my experience maintenance is spotty and equipment is meager. Still, it’s always been nice to have. I briefly considered purchasing my own treadmill, even...

Hey, you know how occasionally you’ll be watching a sitcom and it will dawn on you with slow horror that what you’re actually seeing is a clips show? Yeah, I’m doing that. It’s not so bad! I applied logic to this decision, I swear! It’s merely that it occurs to me that this blog is closer to its second...

JENN: So how was your training this week? MOON: It was good! Lots of running and exercising. No big milestones, but it was steady. How was your week? JENN: Good! It’s been an interesting week because I just started using an actual, real gym as opposed to a basement apartment “gym.” More on that in a later post but let me...
In Which Jenn Engages In Race Schedule Speculation
It feels like I JUST put together my 2014 race plans – April was yesterday, right? What, it’s practically tomorrow? Jesus. Anyway, given that I just knocked out the last of those goals, it seems logical to jot down the new ones, right? Unfortunately, I don’t have that much ahead of me, not officially – I’m only registered for the Cherry Blossom...
