Heeey! So after a largely uneventful August, September begins to ramp things up. I had a successful (if damp) half marathon last Sunday – recap coming soon of course – and this Sunday I head out for the Outer Banks (theoretically – Florence, be kind… Pat thinks you might be mean so prove him wrong). Then after that, it’s time...

Well, I guess that’s unofficially it. Per the post-Labor Day embargo, summer is over. Balls. Sure. While I prematurely mourn the loss of all that blessed heat, I must admit I have much to look forward to. A half marathon this Sunday, for starters. And then the beach for the week. And then a wedding and the Marine Corps...

I am bummed! Here’s why: I bought running shorts from Thredup because they had a 6-inch inseam, perfect for NOT chafing. It was hella hot this morning, so I was correspondingly hella excited to try them out. Well, not only do the shorts ride up when I run, there’s the added twist (ha!) that they give me a full, front-to-back wedgie....

I had a friggin’ BONKERS dream last night that I was running the WDW Marathon but somehow took a five hour nap in the middle? I managed to catch up with the stragglers but my final time was over ten hours because, well, five hour nap. Which I evidently took in the Hollywood Tower of Terror, which had a...

Since I spent most of this WDW trip in a conference, I won’t be doing a traditional trip report, but I definitely still have a lot of stuff to tell you about that will be loosely collected under the July 2018 trip keyword. Read on! I knocked out a 14 mile run in the gym of the Dolphin resort because...

I’ve been eating watermelon in my work lunches, officially because it’s hydrating but mostly because it’s delicious. Those big hunks are kind hard to pack, though, so I indulged in a box of Mickey freezer bags and I gotta say, it really cheers me up. ‘Sup. Speaking of nutrition and fitness, let’s check out the workout log! Sunday |...

Hmmm. I know I mentioned this on Twitter, but I can’t remember if I told the blogosphere – have I told you yet that a lot of that Mickey Mouse for Target collection of which I reviewed a bit is at least partially on serious clearance right now? I picked up a bunch of the Mickey face masks at 50% off, as well as a...

Before ping into the week in review, a quick housekeeping note: back many years ago, when I shared this blog with my girl Moon, we developed two keywords to demarcate our solo posts: Just Jenn and Just Moon. Although Moon left the blog a long time ago, I’ve been continuing to mark most posts as Just Jenn, even though by now that’s going...

Hello. I am neither at the beach nor at Walt Disney World. Harrumph. Despite my sullen tone and distinct lack of excitement for life, you’re going to want to strap in: thanks to my two weeks away, we have three weeks of workout logs to catch up on! Yowza! I don’t have many notes for most of it because, frankly,...

Hello and happy Independence Day eve, or as I like to call it, Sam Eagle Appreciation Day. I love you too, Sam! Do you know what else this week is? It’s pre-vacation week. Woo! I am but one week away from the beach – and two weeks from a pilgrimage to my holy land, aka Walt Disney World. So you’ll...
