I think I’ve done it, guys. I think I’ve narrowed down my 2017 runDisney list to two. It’s either gonna be: the Star Wars Half – Dark Side or the Wine & Dine Half Marathon again. (Click here to get a handle on how I arrived at these finalists.) Let’s play pros and cons! STAR WARS HALF – THE...

Wanna hear something weird? The Fairest Run Of All is three years old today! (In celebration, I tweaked the layout/design a little. Thoughts?) I started this blog with Moon with the initial goal of trying to eventually run all the runDisney races, which three years ago was a much less daunting task. The growing roster of races plus the reality...

I find that when I’m hurting or tired or just plain bored in a run it helps to think about something else completely unrelated to running. For you runDisney folks, I have invented a new way to do this! And it all hinges upon your pride. That is to say: you’re proud you never need a map in Walt...

I’ve been pretty homesick for Walt Disney World lately – you know, the sort of homesick where you look through photo albums and listen to park background music (Innoventions FTW!) and weep silently to yourself because you’re not in WDW right now and won’t be again for months. There is but one cure for this affliction: standing in the...

Finishing up the Disney portion of my First Photos series. (And catch my Last Photos series here.) The year: 2013 The companion(s): Moon The title of the album: I Know Every Mile Will Be Worth My While The why: An otherwise mundane photo, but Moon and I tremendously enjoyed that our Magical Express driver’s name was Rockland Steel. ROCKLAND STEEL....

During my last WDW Marathon weekend, I overheard some people on the Expo bus talking about their preferred approach to the final few miles of the race. Mainly they attempted to make several pit stops in the World Showcase for food and drinks, especially for soft pretzels in Germany and beer in the UK. This, of course, is the...

Good news and bad news time, guys. Traditionally I like bad news first, and the bad news is that we probably won’t see Moon in the Week In Review for awhile – she’s in the process of packing up her life and quite literally shipping up to Boston. She’s gonna concentrate on that transition for a bit, and then...

Running can come with commentary. “Sometimes I think this is very impressive. Sometimes I think you might be a bit of a meshugana.” – coworker looking at my cube wall of bibs and medals “Maybe you’re running to much. Maybe you should cut back a little.” – my mom, who thinks I could stand to scale back a bit...

Discounts! I have more running-related discounts! I’m thinking of making this a monthly thing. Thoughts? SLS3 is offering their compression foot sleeve for $19.90 – a $20 discount – in exchange for an Amazon review (on the honor system as far as I can tell.). The sleeve is designed to provide arch support and relieve plantar fasciitis if that’s...

It is done. Because of course of it. All rants aside, how could I not? It’s part of the plan. The bottom line is, I always enjoy a runDisney race. I’m still wildly disappointed as to the removal of the nighttime element – I DUN WANNA GET UP AT 3AM AGAIN I RUN BETTER AT NIGHT WAAAAH – but...
