Becky from Disney In Your Day challenged me to figure out which five characters I would invite to a Disney Christmas dinner party, so I’m going to start with that because it’s more interesting and festive than anything else I have to say at this time, trust me. This is an unexpectedly difficult question and I had to do some pondering...

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. In a Walt Disney World trip diaspora dominated by races, there’s not usually a ton of room for training runs. When you’re pounding out a half or even a full marathon (or both and more!) you don’t exactly want to pile it on. And so when...

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. I had to get up and run on the last morning, because it was my final chance to run in WDW! So I took a quick jaunt around the All-Star Resorts before showering and prepping. We checked our luggage at the airline outpost and headed out....

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. A point in Trip Report Day 3’s favor: We got significantly more sleep on a whole. Point against Day 3: We felt a little sicker. So… call it a wash? We got up, got ready, and headed out for Disney’s Animal Kingdom later than I would...

Annnnd I’m back from WDW. 🙁 The end of this trip hasn’t been as wrenching… kind of. Guys, it was a weird trip. Some wonky stuff happened. I’m talking scams, sickness, bomb sniffing dogs, and DEATH. (Just kidding!) (Actually not kidding!) Well, not exactly… I’m definitely gonna need a do-over. On that decidedly un-Disneylike note of disquieting intrigue, let’s...

Things to do tomorrow: 1. Go to Walt Disney World. In the wise words of Lavender Gooms: Things not to do on this WDW trip: 1. Run a runDisney race. Which makes me feel all weird. You mean I don’t have to immediately bolt for the expo as soon as I get there? I haven’t had a non-race trip since… December...

(Source) Last year I scoffed at all the people running the Thanksgiving 10k right outside my apartment. Why would you suffer in the cold when there’s a nice warm treadmill at the gym? Well, my walking-distance gym closed down and I’ve taken to running outside more and more, so this year I joined the suckers for the Turkey Chase...
