The trip report proper is over, but we’re not done yet – I’ve still got lots of thoughts, including food reviews and photos! You can see all the posts in this report here. Onward! It was Pat who spotted the PhotoPass photographer, not me. I blazed right past her in my quest to ride the Haunted Mansion, but he saw and...

Something TERRIBLE has happened. What am I supposed to do now? Run outside exclusively?! In Maryland?! WHERE WINTER EXISTS????? Ugh, I need to move to Orlando or Hawaii or something ASAP. In the meantime… what do I do?! Luckily I’m pretty amenable to early runs outside during the summer while the sun rises early and the temperatures are acceptably...

Oh, is it race day already? ZOOMA Annapolis went so well I’m worried I may have used up all my good race luck for the year. If you’re running a race and see someone face down in the mud, covered in scrapes and both legs broken, it’s probably me. But let’s not worry overmuch about the future. Let’s dwell...

SURPRISE! I’m running a half marathon this Saturday! “Dammit, Jenn,” you say, because you are emotionally invested in my life, plans, and overall well-being, “why didn’t I KNOW that?? Haven’t you usually posted your race schedule on the blog by now???” Well, sure, normally I have. But thanks to my new policy of not committing to races earlier than...

We last left our monorail loop dining adventure at Trader Sam’s, where we had a couple rounds of drinks. We would’ve been happy to keep at it,...

Hey, how’s your memory? Because I need you to remember some stuff. Specifically: Remember when Pat got me the BEST running present EVER? Remember when I traipsed around Walt Disney World on an increasingly mad and maddening search for a Mr. Toad baseball cap that ultimately proved fruitless and I was super bummed about it? WELL. Strap in, kids,...

Here’s a rare circumstance: I’m going to recommend you read this week’s training log. It gets interesting toward the end. Sunday | ran 5.12 miles on the treadmill in 50 minutes Speed run! Also I burned my leg and hand a bit making pancakes. It’s a long story which I mention because it is a harbinger of things to...

I have nothing clever or interesting to say about my training, only to say that it continues. Here we go: Sunday | ran 7.05 miles on the treadmill in 1:10 I was 30 minutes into this run, wondering why it felt so much harder than usual, when I remembered: I gave blood the previous day. Oh yeah. Probably should’ve...

Perhaps you are rolling your eyes already at the subject line of this post. Perhaps you are quite sick of looking at me. Perhaps you have written me off as a narcissist. It’s okay. I understand. But my Annual Pass expires in December, and with it, my free PhotoPass downloads. Will I ever get another? Maybe. As of now,...
