JENN: Let’s talk Tinker Bell Half Marathon goals! Primary goal: get something like this around our necks. MOON: What’s your biggest goal? JENN: My goal is to have the race done in time that we can shower and change before Disneyland opens! We’re in corral B, so it could happen. BUT they’re also offering post-race massages for $1 a...

Look at my pretty pointe shoes!...

Mere days go, I received this beautiful, beautiful creature in the mail: Magical Express tickets = check. ONLY THIRTY DAYS TO GO, GUYS. Training last week went well! My experiment with not eating beforehand and taking Clif Shot Bloks during went, as the Brits say, swimmingly. I even knocked out a fifteen-miler, not at any particularly great speeds, but...

I have exciting news! I just got the official email from Disney: I have been invited to participate in MyMagic+ during my December trip to Walt Disney World!
