Feel happier? Good. Keep it up. Because you’re about to be a little disappointed in me. While in the Outer Banks, I ran… twice....

HELLO, FRIENDS! Just Jenn today, as Moon will be off gallivanting about the Continent for the remainder of the week. Whereas I, by contrast, am back from the beach and happy to… happy to… look, I kinda wish I was still at the beach, okay? But I’m here and I’m slowly getting over my post-break blues. How am I managing...

I’ve noticed something,...

JENN: So how was the training this week? MOON: Very good! I remain consistent with mileage and daily activity. How was yours? JENN: Ha – it was pretty terrible. That minor cough I was talking about last week? Yeah, it wasn’t quite done with me. I was sooooo slooooooow all week and even suffered some lung capacity reduction on Monday. But...

I know it’s wildly common for people to have that dream, the night before a race, that they have slept through their alarm. This image also helpfully doubles as a metaphor for running itself. OH GOD NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH (source) I am WAY AHEAD OF YOU. Sure, I’ve had that dream. I’ve had it the night before the...

JENN: Any new distances or pace records? MOON: Hahaha, no. But there’s something to be said for consistency. JENN: Absolutely! MOON: How was your week? JENN: Surprisingly decent considering I developed a mild cold by the end...
JENN: How’d your training go this week? MOON: The last part of the week was good! I fiiiiinally have some new music! JENN: Yay! MOON: Nothing motivates me more than a good jam. How was yours? JENN: Okay. I ran outside exclusively this week. The first run went well, but the humidity was so high the next two days that I felt awful. MOON: Awww....
