JENN: How did your training go this week? MOON: Well, I ran every day! It was good. JENN: Awesome!I ran outside a bunch this week. I’m getting a LITTLE better at it, anyway. I’m not ready to let go of the treadmill just yet, but the outdoors is growing on me. I just hope I DON’T come to prefer running outside because that’ll...

MOON: I JUST RAN 3.5 MILES JENN: YEEEEEEEAH TELL ME ABOUT YOUR 3.5 MILES MOON: Well, generally uneventful. There were awkward repairmen in the gym all up on my treadmill while I was running. JENN: Oh, yes, that’s always a little weird. MOON: You’re probably thinking, “3.5… whoopee.” Buuuut, I haven’t run since my return from Israel. Yesterday I found myself really missing...

As I mentioned yesterday, I spent the Memorial Day weekend in Dewey Beach, DE. View from our porch. I wasn’t mad. And for once, I actually DID get in the run I said I’d make time for during vacation!

JENN: How was your extended weekend? Did you run at all? MOON: This is terrible, but for the second week in a row: noooo. This week has been a sick week… JENN: Oh no!

JENN: Did you run at all this week? MOON: Hmm, I think another mile? The progress is rather slow over here… JENN: Hey, that’s one more mile than a lot of people manage! MOON: Yes, but about 25 less than I usually do… XD I have been hunting for half marathons for the late summer, though! JENN: Any prospects? MOON: Hmm, there was one...

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...

MOON: How was your weekend? JENN: Crazy. I was tasked with taking care of my grandmother on Mother’s Day. I pulled up to the house to discover an ambulance in the driveway and a fire engine on the curb. Turns out she’d fallen, been incapacitated, and used her Life Alert. MOON: Oh, no! JENN: She repeatedly refused to go to the hospital, so...

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....
