Who is the fairest runner of all?
[JENN] I achieved a frothing-at-the-mouth level of Disney park mania in 2005 that has only gotten frothier with the passage of time. Running is a much newer passion, but well loved as a means of helping me get over some terrible eating habits that often involved eating nothing for so long that I got the shakes. You can’t deprive your body and then expect to succeed in as athletic an activity as running. Yes, I weigh more now, and I’d be lying if I said that didn’t bother me, but now I’m running strong instead of thin and weak. runDisney combines some of the things I love best in the world, and I simply can’t get enough of it.Contact me at fairestrunofall@gmail.com.

Running is an excellent calming agent. It has gotten me through the blues, everyday stress, and grad school. One of my favorite authors, Haruki Murakami, said it best in What I Talk About When I Talk About Running: Sometimes taking time is actually a shortcut.
When I run, I must be calm… and I like that. It helps me focus, stay disciplined, and appreciate the day. It doesn’t matter how fast I go, but if I’m happy at the end, that’s the important thing.
Concerning specifically runDisney: I love Jenn and I love running. Combining the two ended up with a commitment to run all the runDisney events. When not planning Disney trips (who am I kidding? Jenn does all the planning), I love to read and play with my cat, Hoodoo. She is not a runner, nor does she appreciate the treadmill.
