Okay. Okay. I shouldn’t even be telling you about my new running shorts. I’m only ruining it for myself. But I just can’t help myself – they’re so goooood!* * And, to be clear, totally unsponsored. I’ve historically been a capris girl, even in the summer. I have Thighs and a Butt and I don’t like Chafing. But it’s...

Since I moved to Puerto Rico I don’t have as many cross-training opportunities as I once did. Well, I say that – all I ever used to do was ballet. I’ve actually been doing some weight training and resistance exercises in addition to running, so you could argue that I’m doing more cross-training, maybe? But I miss ballet. Not to...

I’ve seen the question pop up many a time in the runDisney fan Facebook groups: “I’m registered for just the half marathon, but I want to go Goofy! I’m registered for Goofy, but I want to be Dopey! Can I upgrade to a race challenge?” Well, I lived that very tale, and I’m here to tell you that it’s...

Okay, I’ve taken some time to think about it, and I believe I’m ready to weigh in on this whole Mulan remake controversy.* Basically: yes, I have a problem with it. No, it’s not exactly what you think. * Because you’ve doubtless all been waiting to hear what an obscure white girl blogger has to say on the matter. So...

Waaaay back in 2014, when this blog was a mere baby blog – a blaby? A blogby? – I did a post about all the foods I wanted to eat at Walt Disney World. Since then, I have made a small dent in that list… and since then, five years’ worth of NEW foods have popped up. So I did...

I come from Maryland, where individual counties set liquor laws, and most of those counties are run by puritans. Most grocery stores can’t even sell beer and wine, let alone liquor, and you’re sure as hell not going to find it in, say, a fast food place. So every time I leave Maryland and see alcohol sold in anything...

I’m not gonna lie to you guys – I’m not a Marvel person. I respect the franchise – my nerdy little Star Trek-loving, Disney-obsessing heart could hardly do otherwise – but it doesn’t do a ton for me. I don’t mind if someone puts a Marvel movie on, but I only see them in theaters when Pat asks me...

Yooo! I couldn’t let the whole of May go by without a single post. I didn’t mean to take a blog break at all, really. But it was so easy to let slip – we were moving into a new, permanent place in Puerto Rico, and I was settling into teleworking, and also I’m planning a wedding which as...

OHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO You may recall how last week I was all, hey! I signed up for the WDW Marathon! Duh! You may also recall how a couple months ago I was like, runDisney challenges aren’t for me, man. And if you read that post, you may further remember that I rather prophetically noted that this mandate would likely go out the...

Hola y salutations! Hello! Happy 4/20 if you celebrate! Okay, first things first: if you are a pale person in Puerto Rico, you need to wear MORE sunscreen. I didn’t say you need to wear some sunscreen, I said you need to wear MORE sunscreen. MORE. You can’t even trust the umbrellas with the margaritas under them. MORE. SUNSCREEN. ¿Entiendas?...
