Well, My Race Plans Failed – Now What?

March 10, 2023March 10, 20232 Comments

A few weeks ago, I posed a question – did my racing reach exceed my running grasp? Could I race two PRs in as many weekends? The answers, we come to find out, are: 1. Yes. 2. No. Drat. THE BEST LAID RACE PLANS Run Oak Island Half? A comedy of errors. As for the Wilmington Marathon? More generalized...

Wilmington Marathon 2023 Race Recap!

March 2, 2023March 5, 2023Leave a comment

I’m gonna make like NASA and term my 2023 Wilmington Marathon a successful failure. Did I get exactly what I wanted out of it? No! Did I still come away with some valuable takeaways, a triumph of technicality, and, y’know, survive the ordeal? Yes, yes, and yes! And so it is in a fit of positivity that we dive...

Does My Racing Reach Exceed My Running Grasp?

February 10, 2023February 10, 2023Leave a comment

A couple months ago I was chatting with my parents about my running plans, and mentioned that I was kinda cooling on the full marathon.* I think the entire running community now knows exactly where this post is going. * Excepting the WDW Marathon, which is where joy lives. Hold, please; you’re right, but there’s more to it than...

The Fairest Trip Report Of All: The 2023 WDW Marathon

January 25, 2023January 25, 2023Leave a comment

It’s my favorite annual trip report – my WDW Marathon trip! See all the posts in this trip report here. Onward! So anyway, what I did was, the night before the WDW Marathon I had a panic attack. Haha! Or at least I think it was a panic attack. I honest to God COULD NOT SLEEP. My heart was...

How I Almost Missed My WDW Trip

January 6, 2023January 6, 20232 Comments

Holy smokes, kids; this is NOT NOT NOT the pre-trip WDW post I expected to write. I almost had to skip it entirely and IT. WAS. TERRIFYING. What happened, you ask? A sudden injury? A death? A work obligation? No! It was that most mundane emergency of the present decade: COVID exposure. Over the last week, I have tested...

Anyone Can Be A Marathoner (Like Ratatouille, Only Running)

September 30, 2022September 30, 20222 Comments

People generally seem impressed when I mention (not that often, I swear) that I’ve run/am running a marathon. For some reason, my kneejerk reaction is to try to downplay it and hype it up all at once. “Oh, it’s really not that hard,” I say. “Anyone can do it,” I say. “It’s a mental game,” I say. “You could...

January 20, 2022January 20, 20222 Comments

Time for another trip report! I’ll be covering my 2022 WDW Marathon Weekend trip. Find all the posts in this report here. Onward! 2021 was the Year With No Walt Disney World Marathon. My heart: broken. My will to live: gone. My serotonin levels: bottoming out. Enter 2022. A young year, plagued by… the plague just as much as...

DuoLingo Says: Shut Up About Running

August 12, 2021August 12, 20212 Comments

Ever since we moved to Puerto Rico we’ve been working on learning Spanish, and everyone knows that one of the first steps of one’s language journey is downloading the DuoLingo app. I like to do my daily session after my workout and before my shower, while I wait for the water to heat up. Or to ramp this post...

In Which Jenn Recaps The 2021 Wilmington Marathon

April 20, 2021August 16, 20212 Comments

I’m gonna be up front with you guys: the Wilmington Marathon went poorly. But it went, so I’m gonna tell you about it. I’m consistent like that. It all started out okay: I woke up on time, fueled up, taped up, dressed, and made it to downtown Wilmington without incident. Weather ranged from 55 in the morning to the...

In Which Jenn Is Finally Running That Marathon TOMORROW

April 16, 2021August 16, 2021Leave a comment

Hello! I have two items of exciting news: I am currently 80% vaccinated and will be receiving my final COVID booster shot on Tuesday! I am finally running my 15th marathon TOMORROW! It’s crazy to think that I haven’t run a marathon in over a year. I haven’t had that much time between marathons… ever. I ran my first marathon...
