In Which Jenn Is Headed To Universal Studios Florida
Just because I have made my decision doesn’t mean I have to like it. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I have a conference in Orlando next week that will include a little bit of downtime. Hardcore WDW girl that I am, I decided I’m going to spend that downtime at Universal Studios Orlando so I can check...

Kill/Refurb/Marry: Frozen Treats in the Parks
It’s Kill/Refurb/Marry time! This month’s edition of the blog hop concerns favorite frozen treats in the parks. Now, the definition of “frozen treat” may vary from person to person – does ice cream count? If so, does it have to be considered a “novelty” or is Beaches & Cream’s No Way Jose sundae eligible? Alternatively, does it only county...

In Which Jenn Gets New Sneakers At Road Runner Sports
Guys! I finally got myself re-fitted for sneakers and it was WAY more involved than last time. A little background: I’ve been using the Brooks Ravenna 5 since October of 2013.

In Which Jenn Runs In Ocean City, MD & Loves Water Fountains SO MUCH
I ran in Ocean City, MD last week! Where I proved empirically that boardwalk runs > all other runs. FACT. You may recall my route from last year – up and back on the boardwalk. This time around I added the last little bit I had missed before to one of my runs, and it was so much less...

In Which Jenn Ponders Barefoot Running (DO NOT WANT)
During my first Marine Corps Marathon, I remember seeing a girl who was running completely barefoot. She had a pair of Vibram Five Finger shoes or whatever they’re called tucked in the back of her shorts, but the implication was that this was in case of emergency only. For the foreseeable future, she was running a marathon barefoot. This...

In Which Jenn Is At The Beach & Needs Your Help
GUESS WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW. That’s right, I’m at the beach! More specifically, I’m in Ocean City, sight of at least one successful vacation run. I plan to run twice while I’m here – let’s all hope the vacation gods allow it! I’ll be back on Thursday. In the meantime, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind...

Just follow these simple steps: Go for a 10 mile run outside in the early morning when it’s theoretically cooler but actually it’s 77 degrees out and the air is heavy with the humidity of the rain that will occur later in the day. If...
