Hello! I initially planned a slightly different angle for this post, but as I wrote it, I discovered that a lot of my beef was ultimately with Club runDisney. So instead of my straight-ahead post about some of runDisney’s ongoing issues they seem to be ignoring, we’ll be doing something of a two-parter: one, problems I think runDisney COULD...
