I’m not normally the kinda gal who goes run streaking. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not against run streaking. I can see the appeal of setting and pursuing that kind of goal. It’s just not a me thing. I prefer more flexibility in my training schedule and overall life schedule. There is, however, one time a year where I...

I suspect I am not the only one among my particular audience that enjoys a Disney song or two in their running playlist. During my recent run streak my phone happened to throw “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid at me, which immediately reminded me of one of my all-time favorite runDisney memories. Technically I’ve recounted this incident...

I never thought I’d gather enough ’80s music to assemble this running playlist. Aesthetically, the ’80s do NOT do it for me. Yes, I was alive for part of it, but for whatever reason, the sounds and fashions of the era fail to fill me with nostalgia. They fill me with the ick. Now, as I am always to...

Have you seen those Disney halo headbands? I don’t think Disney has made any official versions, but I’ve seen a bunch on Etsy and think they’re super cute. They also tend to be super expensive – and I think that’s fair! Lots of time and materials go into independent shops’ businesses, and they deserve to be paid for their...

Social media advertisements eventually get us all. I don’t think that’s inherently a bad thing, but I do think it’s a good idea to do a little research before you make your purchase. To that end, let me tell you about my experience with athletic wear brand Silverwind. This post is unsponsored. I purchased my Silverwind workout set with...

I can’t believe it either, but it’s true: runDisney race registration just gets buggier and more competitive with each passing registration day. WELCOME TO runDISNEY RACE REGISTRATION MADNESS CENTRAL If you are reading the blog, you belong to a very niche group of elite individuals who… read this blog. Seriously. I’d say I average around a hundred hits a...

Disney live action remakes are dumb and pointless, and that is a hill I am prepared to die on. WHO ASKED YOU ANYWAY, HUH? In the immortal words of one Anton Ego: “The average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.” I think that speech is brilliant. Ego is absolutely right. To be...

Another year, another lingering injury. I’ve been experiencing some pain by my left hip after running, enough that I mentioned it to my doctor at my last annual physical. She recommended that I “make friends with my foam roller.” Sounds easy enough, right? Thing is, I’ve had a foam roller for years and barely used it at all. Now...

A couple weeks ago I dropped a post about Davy Crockett in honor of my dad, who is a big Fess Parker fan. Seeing as how last Sunday was Father’s Day, I thought it might be fun to revisit ol’ Fess in my latest Thoughts While Watching post. (Bonus: it works for Juneteenth tomorrow too!) Turns out, in addition...
