Awww, man. No more post-marathon break time. Although I did allow myself a slightly reduced ramp-up week. Roll tape: Sunday | ran 5.27 miles on the treadmill in 60 minutes I was still in NYC for a conference; the hotel gym sucked and the treadmill kept shocking me, but I hopped back on that horse. Also I got to...

Mini trip report! Read all the posts in this report here. In the immortal words of Salieri: And then, a miracle! I love the WDW Marathon. Just thinking about it fills me with joy. But in the middle of the race I thought it might be my worst one yet… and then it ended up being my best marathon ever. Let’s...

I’m back from the marathon. It was AMAZING. I’m still riding the trailing current of my runner’s high and I can’t wait to sign up for Wine & Dine! Current WDW withdrawal level: medium. But more about that later this week. I’m also still riding the trailing current of marathon-induced sleep deprivation, so let’s just jump right into the workout log....

Oh, WDW Marathon, my one true love. I could never quit you. I’m a fool any time I delay registering for you – I should know by now I’ll come running back at the last minute. Yes, it’s time once again for my favorite race of the year! I’m doing a whirlwind weekend a la 2016 – I’m flying down Saturday,...

Double-wide workout log since I skipped last week. Let’s leap right in! Sunday, December 17 | ran 11.08 miles outside in 1:50 I know I’ve said exactly this before, but: either I’m getting faster or my GPS watch is broken. The fact that it’s freezing outside probably helps… Monday, December 18 | walked 2.46 miles outside in 40 minutes;...

Becky from Disney In Your Day challenged me to figure out which five characters I would invite to a Disney Christmas dinner party, so I’m going to start with that because it’s more interesting and festive than anything else I have to say at this time, trust me. This is an unexpectedly difficult question and I had to do some pondering...

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. In a Walt Disney World trip diaspora dominated by races, there’s not usually a ton of room for training runs. When you’re pounding out a half or even a full marathon (or both and more!) you don’t exactly want to pile it on. And so when...

Annnnd I’m back from WDW. 🙁 The end of this trip hasn’t been as wrenching… kind of. Guys, it was a weird trip. Some wonky stuff happened. I’m talking scams, sickness, bomb sniffing dogs, and DEATH. (Just kidding!) (Actually not kidding!) Well, not exactly… I’m definitely gonna need a do-over. On that decidedly un-Disneylike note of disquieting intrigue, let’s...
