I’ll Likely Never Run Disney Again

Just one quick scroll through my blog and you’ll see that I’ve been a big fan of the RunDisney races since I ran my first one back in 2014. My first race would turn out to be the final running of the Tower of Terror 10-Miler. A month later, I ran my first half marathon

Once Upon A Time in New York City

Today, if you didn’t know, is a magical day for runners. It’s New York City Marathon Day. Well, the marathon isn’t being run today, but it’s lottery day. If you’re not familiar, there’s a bit of a process of singing up for the New York Marathon that involves a lot of praying to whatever deity

Something, Something, Something, Dark Side

So my tax return arrived on Wednesday. Then I waved goodbye to it on Thursday. Like you do. I originally hoped to earmark the money for another cruise for my birthday but for now that idea is on hold. It’s likely still gonna happen but I had to send money on another adventure for the

Bring on the April Showers

T.S. Eliot says that April is the cruelest month. I’m thinking he had it wrong, March was kind of a bitch. We’ve been starting to get our afternoon rain here in Orlando and it’s been a bit refreshing. I actually really like the rain. Not the monsoons that we’ll be getting every afternoon starting soon,

Looking Back: Princess Half Marathon Weekend

Today marks the beginning of the 2018 Princess Half Marathon Weekend! It also marks three years since I ran the Princess Half Marathon with my friend Leslie. We were both feeling gross so it wasn’t a pretty race but we managed to have a great time regardless. I really don’t remember too much but I

Dopey Challenge 2018 Recap: The 25th Walt Disney World Marathon

There’s a lot to be said about running a marathon. As most know, it’s not my most favorite thing in the world. Erica loves them but I’m perfectly okay with running my half marathons and calling it a day. Yet, the Walt Disney World Marathon holds a special place in my heart because it was

Dopey Challenge 2018 Recap: Half Marathon

If it wasn’t clear from the 5k and 10k recap, it was freezing cold for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and Saturday was no exception. I am typically a huge proponent of the “nothing new on race day” rule when it comes to running. This means that you should stick to what you’ve done

Dopey Challenge 2018 Recap: 5k and 10k

Another RunDisney race weekend has come! (Well, it was last weekend but I’m a slacker) As we all know, it is the first and largest race weekend for RunDisney of the year and certainly one of the craziest. The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is home to four races and two challenges. Naturally, as I

WDW Marathon Weekend; or, A Tale of Three Dinosaurs

The time has come for another Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Specifically, the 25th running of the full marathon, coupled with the 5th anniversary of the Dopey Challenge and (if we’re being realistic) the 20th running of the Half Marathon. Refer to last year’s nonsense for what I mean by that. We attended the expo

Avenger? I Hardly Know Her! A Race Weekend Review

One- I’m writing about my race out of order because this is my blog and I do what I want Two- I thought the title was funny and I don’t appreciate the judgement :-p Three- I probably shouldn’t be writing when I’m this tired. Yet another RunDisney race weekend has come and gone and it
