Let’s look at last week’s numbers: Sunday | rest Monday | 10.75 miles on the treadmill in 1:50 Too hot to run outdoors. Tuesday | walked 2.1 miles in 35 minutes Wednesday...

This is my dad’s favorite Lion King joke. (Myself, I’m partial to “Why? Is he sick?” So let me know if you’ve seen a meme for that.) Don’t forget, you can follow FRoA on Twitter @fairestrunofall and on Instagram @fairestrunofall. If you have any questions or thoughts, leave a comment or email fairestrunofall@gmail.com. See ya real soon!...

A lot of Disney fan discussion centers around coffee. Where to get the best coffee on property, where to get the cheapest coffee, is Starbucks in fact a gift from God or a Satan-born waste of Main Street Bakery space (yes but also yes). But the one thing just about everyone seems to agree upon is this: Thank God...

For the third year in a row, I am signed up for the WDW Marathon. Hooray! But you may have noticed, for the second year in a row, I am NOT signed up for Dopey. Don’t get me wrong – when I knocked out the Dopey Challenge in 2015, I LOVED it. I was SO happy: running four races,...

I was at a conference last Sunday afternoon through Thursday morning, so my schedule was a bit discombobulated – no lunchtime walks and in some cases unfamiliar running territory. I did do a fair amount of power-walking around the conference center, though, which added to my daily count step even if it’s not GPS official. Here’s how all the...

Raise your hand if you’ve ever run a 5K while sick! Damn, there are a lot of us, aren’t there? Yes, I ran a 5K on Tuesday while nursing a cold. Well, to be fair, it was a “5Kish.” We’ll get there. The conference I annually attend hosted said 5K, which explains why I went: it was right there...

Hey guys! Quickie intro this time around; I’m at a conference AND Pat gave me a cold just in time for said conference, so I’m not going to lie: I’m phoning it in a little here. But at least I can tell you this happened: More on that later of course. New week in review format continues with a...

I’ve mentioned previously that the week in review seems kinda blah without Moon, so today I’m going to try something different. Instead of general chit-chat, I’m going to do a review of the previous week’s workouts. I find myself often reading such entries on the blogs of others, so I figured I’d give it a shot. The roundup will...

I had the craziest WDW dream a couple weeks ago! And for once it didn’t involve me missing/almost missing/generally messing up a runDisney race! Okay, so the first thing that’s weird about this dream is that I was staying at the Grand Floridian. This is stange enough, because there’s no way in hell I could afford that, but it...

This week marked two strange runs for me. Indeed, these runs were of a style I almost never employ outside of mitigating circumstances. I’m talking about… THE TWO MILE RUN. I rarely do a short run outside of a taper or vacation. Less than five, maybe four miles is extremely unusual for me. Most of my runs are in the...
