I have made a poor show of things – I haven’t written up anything about my marathon trip. I will. I promise I will. Soon! In the meantime, I just want to say this: Flying down, grabbing your bib, running the race, flying home? TOTALLY WORTH IT. They say every mile is magic. This is a lie. Miles 15...

On this day last year I was headed to WDW for the Dopey Challenge. I can’t say my heart isn’t breaking over the fact that I am not doing the same this year, but it helps to know that the horizon isn’t entirely barren: I am doing the marathon on its own! As I mentioned before, this thirtieth-birthday-present-to-myself is...

JENN: Happy new year! How’s it going so far? MOON: It’s okay. How’s yours? JENN: I’ve got a bit of the post-holiday blues – oh to be young and have a week off work again! – but it’s good. My Achilles is FINALLY starting to feel better! I’ve even gone for a couple runs since my break, and they were pretty good....

JENN: Merry Christmas Eve! And on that note: injury update! You first. How’s the hip? MOON: I think it’s safe to say I’m good to go. I’ve run 3-4 times this week? I guess I won’t know if it’s completely good until I do a looooong run, but I figure it will take me enough time to build back up that...

Wanna hear something weird? Influenster believes you are interested in my opinions! I can tell because, against all odds, they sent me their Spice Vox Box, full of stuff I did not pay for. I am nothing if not chock full of integrity, however, so you can be sure that the following thoughts are devoid of bias. You can...

Hi there! Jenn here. I considered throwing another Disney Christmas carol at you for our final Happy Friday of the year. After all, it would be thematically appropriate in more ways than one. Instead, my heart won out over my head, and I am presenting you with a video that is unrelated to Disney, running, or anything else directly...

Ever wonder what it looks like when you receive exactly one Magic Band? Well, it looks like that. C’mon, Disney. You could at least throw some Mickey confetti in there, cheer up us lonely hearts. (Although actually I’m super excited and it’s going to be a great race! Best self-birthday present ever!!!!) SEE YOU AT THE WDW MARATHON. HOPE...

JENN: All right! What’s the latest on your hip? Is it treating you better? MOON: I tried running again last night! It only mildly hurts today. So I figure I don’t run today, maybe try again tomorrow! JENN: Seems like a wise plan. Not bothering you in every day life, then? MOON: Only when moving quickly. XD And sleeping on that side is still...

Last post of the trip report. 🙁 Commentary from Elizabeth provided in red. Click here to read all the posts in this report. Onward! Brown Derby Lounge, I hope you don’t mind me telling you this, but: you were an accident. Elizabeth and I were hot and tired that afternoon in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We were just looking for a bar that wasn’t...

The WDW Marathon corral placements came out this week. I was worried. See, I signed up late for the race. Like, unheard of late, for runDisney. So late that technically the proof of time submission deadline had passed. However, when filling out the form, I was still asked for a proof of time. And so the question became: would...
