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

Where Have You Been? Where Are You Going?

I’m sure I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again: being a “blogger” is really hard work. Especially over the last year, as my loyal readers have noticed considering we’re lucky if I post once a month. While I’m thinking of it: how ya’ll holding up? So many of the blogs that

This is Supposed to be Fun, Right?

I have, admittedly, been on the struggle bus when it comes to finding what my own personal “new normal” looks like. You’d think that after a year of adapting to all the fun new buzzwords that I personally can’t wait to never hear again. These include (but are not limited to): Social Distancing, Quarantine, Lockdown,

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

A Girl Is Arya Stark of Winterfell and I’m Going Home

I have no idea what to write about right now. I have started and stopped this post so many times, I deserve some sort of award. I don’t know what kind of award that would be but I’ll gladly accept an assortment of fine cheeses. Who am I kidding. I’ll take any cheese. Preferably a

All at Once, Summer Collapses Into Fall

Is it a curse of getting older that times does nothing but fly by? This year has been going by so fast and I honestly can’t tell if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. In just a few hours we kiss July goodbye and welcome the beginning of fall. Now, I’m not sure

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,

It Really Is the Little Things

I truly love my followers on here. Thank you for fully calling me out for not posting yesterday! I ended up getting called into work a double so I was at the bar working from 10am until a little after midnight. Normally I write my Tuesday posts starting Monday evening and finishing up on Tuesday

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
