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....

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...

Another week mostly spent not in Walt Disney World. 🙁 Eh. Roll the tape: Sunday | ran 3.08 miles outside in 31 minutes; according to my phone walked an additional 10 or so miles around Walt Disney World And then we left WDW. 🙁 🙁 🙁 Monday | ran 9.08 miles on the treadmill in 1:30 Tuesday | walked...

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...

Normally in a week in review post I do my exercise stuff first and my Disney and life stuff second, but screw the boring stuff because I HAVE DISNEY NEWS. Y’know how I’ve been kvetching basically since I made the reservation about my room in Caribbean Beach for my upcoming WDW trip? There’s the construction, of course, which means weird food options...

More running! Hooray! My IT Band has been… pretty good. Every once and awhile I think it might be acting up a little but it’s nothing a little KT Tape hasn’t been able to handle. I do wish that stuff was cheaper, but then it’s nowhere near as expensive as medical bills, so. I think I might also look...

Sometimes running sucks. But it doesn’t suck as much as when you CAN’T run. Such is the paradox of the runner. LOOK WHOSE IT BAND IS BEHAVING NOW AND THEREFORE CAN RUN AGAIN!!! Sunday | rest I had considered trying out a run this day, but the weather was pretty icky; I took it as a sign from the...
