It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!!!!! Weather forecast in Maryland: Low 30s. Snow. Orlando: uppers 60s to upper 70s while I’m there. AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Some other things I’m...

It’s beginning to look a lot like… WDW MARATHON TRAINING PEAK TIME!!! Yup, my pre-WDW Marathon 15-miler approacheth, and I am READY. For starters, it helps that it’s only 15 miles. Should I do a longer run? Probably. But it feels like I just finished the Marine Corps Marathon and Two Course Challenge and I don’t care to push myself. Besides, I’ve done a...

I had a friggin’ BONKERS dream last night that I was running the WDW Marathon but somehow took a five hour nap in the middle? I managed to catch up with the stragglers but my final time was over ten hours because, well, five hour nap. Which I evidently took in the Hollywood Tower of Terror, which had a...

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....

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,...

From the lowest lows to the highest highs. After my disastrous Baltimore Marathon, what’s my next move? Why, I’m going to Walt Disney World! I really thought I wasn’t running the Walt Disney World Marathon this year. I really didn’t think I would. My Annual Pass expires in December. I thought I would be fiscally responsible and save my...

This joke is not funny. I know this. But I chose it for this week’s Happy Friday all the same, and here’s why: the green army man who is always on the hill around mile 20 of the WDW Marathon. In 2016, he yelled at a runner dressed at Tink, “Didn’t I tell you you could never, never land?!”...

I still get free photo downloads. AHAHAHAHA LOOK AT THEM ALL!!!!! Megalomania with a side of slap-happiness ahoy: Does anyone else have no...
