In today’s post I am going to take you on a brief tour of the inside of my brain. Now, I want to be up front with you: it’s scary in there. Don’t panic! I’ll be with you the whole way and I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise I can safely shepherd you through the full...

Alrighty, let’s jump back in. I’M A PRINCESS, EVERYBODY! Yes, for the first time since my very first half marathon and runDisney event in 2013, I’m running the Princess Half Marathon. I outlined my thought process in this post, but basically I’m so afraid of 2021 race FOMO I’m willing to throw caution (and money) to the wind in...

Hey guys – it’s been a bit since I’ve posted. I don’t mean to alarm you if you hadn’t already noticed, but things are… weird. You know, what with the pandemic and racism and riots and police brutality and political incompetence and whatever else. I’m not usually one to broadcast my political views, and on some channels such as...

And now for race schedule that might get cancelled. Kidding! Kidding. Hopefully they all happen. Certainly the virtual ones will. I’ve never been a virtual race girl. Kudos if they’re your jam, but I find the medal without the full experience of a race attached to be underwhelming. Still, the world being but it is in the age of...

I’m gonna cut right to the chase here: my new runDisney race strategy is that I’m registering for ALL OF THEM. I took the Annual Passholder route last week to register for the WDW Marathon early, because it is my One True Race. Luckily, the marathon is the least popular of the races/challenges of that weekend, so I had...

Hey, remember that hip issue I was having last year? And I barely ran all December and showed up to the Goofy Challenges KT-Taped to high heavens but somehow escaped with no pain and thought I’d beaten the issue? WELL IT’S BACK. So I’m taking a rest week. This is an uncomfortable time to take a rest week, as...

Normally the week after a Walt Disney World trip is followed by a series of trip report blog posts. Alas, last week’s WDW sojourn didn’t happen. But this didn’t stop me from opening up my planning spreadsheet and punctuating every single day with statements about what we should be doing at that time. I was constantly telling Pat things...

Back in January of 2017, some brave Walt Disney World Half Marathon registrants set a precedent: when your runDisney race is cancelled, you run it anyway on your own. And so last Sunday, the woulda-been date of the Star Wars Rival Run Half Marathon, I set out on the streets of San Juan to run 13.1 by myself. I...

Darn it, guys, these are not the posts I had planned for April. We were going to discuss my park wardrobe. We were gonna geek out together over my race costume. We were going to squee joyously over my trip plans. And today, I was going to drive the point home: tomorrow I go to Walt Disney World! Only...

Are you familiar with the Parkeology Challenge? You can get the full lowdown here, but the gist is that you ride every single ride in the four main WDW theme parks. If it’s a ride with cars/physical movement, it counts. So, Main Street vehicles? Counts. It’s Tough To Be A Bug? That’s a show; don’t worry about it. It’s...
