A couple years ago I did a pair of posts about my favorite Walt Disney World background music. I find Disney background music to be incredibly soothing when at work in particular – it cheers me up and helps me focus. It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d check in with some of music loops I’ve been particularly enjoying...

When my old, walking-distance gym’s lease was bought out, I was presented with a dilemma. All the reasonably close gyms were expensive – like $100+ per month expensive. Or there were cheaper options a lengthy walk away. Or for very little money, I could drive… to Planet Fitness. Which is where we are today. I have historically relied pretty heavily on...

Hmmm. Do I have anything interesting to say this week? Let’s look at the workout log while I think on it. Sunday | ran 10.27 miles outside in 1:45 I had hoped to make it to 12 or 13 miles but I had stuff to do and slept too long to fit it in. Monday | walked 2.l9 miles...

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. Spice Road Table has never been popular. The reviews I’ve read have been pretty good, but the restaurant never seems to find favor with guests. Nevertheless, when I was selecting a Candlelight Processional dining package, I gravitated to it immediately. I knew it had just...

And now it is time once again for that glorious annual post: the Recap Roundup. Mind you, about six months ago I assembled all my recaps on their own pages: one for races and one for trip reports. But perhaps you didn’t realize or didn’t have time. Or maybe you’ve read all of it but you’re bored and could use...

They’re size small but they FIT ME by some miracle AND they have TWO side pockets AND they have a high waist which I find helps leggings stay up better AND man, it sure doesn’t take much to please a runner,...

I got three paragraphs into a full review of The Lion King on Broadway (Pat got me tickets!) before I deleted the whole thing. We all know The Lion King. The Broadway version has been around for more than two decades. While there are elements that I personally did and did not like, for the most part the show is simply The...

Last weekend I was very brave. I did my longest pre-marathon run of 17 miles… OUTSIDE. WHAT. For the longest time I was strictly a treadmill girl. But time and circumstances pushed me outside more and more. Then last June I lost my nice, walking distance gym, and vowed to perform as many of my runs as possible outside...

Sunday | 10.32 miles outside in 1:45 Monday | walked 2.12 miles outside in 35 minutes; 60 minute ballet class Tuesday | ran 5.27 miles outside in 55 minutes The...

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. Remember when Be Our Guest was, like, THE dining reservation to have? I mean, I guess it still kinda is, but I never really got into the hype. Despite its general popularity, Beauty & The Beast was never a huge favorite of mine as a child, and aside...
