There’s nothing like a crisp and chilly morning by the National Harbor waters to get the blood stirring in the morning… Especially when your name is Christian and you’re wearing shorts (more on this later). November 16: Friends and family gathered to show their support of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation by running or walking. I invited some of...

JENN: Did you sneak in any training this week? MOON: I did! Had some time off with Christian and we ran together a few times. JENN: Awesome! MOON: What about you? How’s the foot? JENN: Eh. It’s better. I do feel it’s making progress. I managed a three mile walk at a NON snail’s pace on Saturday, but I had to stop there...

JENN: Did you run this week? Tell me you ran this week. Somebody’s got to have run this week. MOON: I did a lot of running! JENN: Whew! MOON: Speed AND distance this week (go me!), ha. JENN: Yay! I haven’t run in two weeks. 
My foot is taking its sweet sweet time to heal. MOON: ;-; JENN: And it’s SUCH a terrible time...
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...

Yup, you read that right. I leave for Walt Disney World TOMORROW. Tomorrow morning! I think you all know how that makes me feel. I know it’s 100% trite to say it, but I can scarcely believe this day has finally arrived. I feel like we’ve been planning it for decades. Scores. EONS. But it’s time! It’s finally time!...

I’m going to shut up about the Marine Corps Marathon soon, I promise! Just… not today. The marathon is now behind me. It was lovely. When I finished, I thought to myself, “I probably don’t need to do that again,” and now I’m thinking I might like to maybe potentially do it again, so that’s all normal and in...

JENN: Happy post Halloween, everybody! We hope you all had a fantastic holiday, full of candy and tricked out gourds. So M, did you run last week? MOON: Affirmative. Getting “ready” for a 5K. No big deal, but I’ll be running with friends and that always makes me nervous/breathe funny. JENN: Awww. You always seem to run fine with me! You...

Click here to read my recap of the MCM Expo and the beginning of my marathon adventure. All set? Great! Then we shall proceed. To Marine Corps Marathon Day itself! I woke to an alarm at 4:45AM and felt surprisingly okay about it; I didn’t even use any of my built-in snooze time. Instead, I hopped off the couch, ate,...

MOON: Soooooo tell me all about the marathon! JENN: Well, I shall do a full recap later this week. But in a nutshell: it went well! I didn’t wind up injured or sick or anything. MOON: Yay! I’m very proud of you, congratulations! JENN: ^_^ MOON: This is a huge step in your running narrative. JENN: Indeed. I’m a marathoner and everything! AND the...

JENN: So how was the whole running thing last week? MOON: Pretty gooooood. A rather boring week, but things are steady. How goes the marathon prep?! JENN: Okay. Since I somehow busted my hip last week, I walked most of my training – over 14 miles of it, in fact. But I did run a ten miler on Thursday and my...
