I’ve been thinking a lot about my last Marine Corps Marathon vs. my last WDW Marathon. In both races I felt my energy flagging the middle. The difference? In MCM, it was a downward slope – but in WDW, I rallied in a big way. Any number of factors can be influential when it comes to race performance – training, weather, injuries,...

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’ve spent a lot of time in my most recent weekly recaps complaining about how a) I do not live at Walt Disney World and b) how where I do live is COLD right now. None of this has changed and I am still angry about it. BUT! In the spirit of the Christmas season I thought it might...

Trip report time! See all the posts in this report. Soooo I committed a cardinal blogger sin when it comes to this post about Pop Century’s food court offerings at Everything Pop: I didn’t take much in the way of photos. I KNOW. Amateur hour. In my defense, I don’t usual eat at my resort’s food court with much frequency,...

GUYS. With Thanksgiving is behind us, no one can disagree with me that it’s officially Christmas time. Which means that I can now tell you, with no fear of repercussions whatsoever, about my newest WDW background music obsession. Okay. We know Christmas at WDW is, like everything that happens there, pretty magical. The special holiday background loops are part...

Hello. I am cold. It’s been a rainy, blustery, disgusting November, and I just want everyone who claims to love fall that you are WRONG. WRONG!!! I’ve been distracting myself from the horrors of this god-awful season by trying to decide on a costume for the WDW Marathon. I could do Figment again, of course, which would be the easiest...

Trip report time! See all the posts in this report. And now for the final day of the trip report. Boo hiss. We got up early to shower and finish packing before dragging our luggage to the airport check-in desk and heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. There was a very long line for the DAK bus, but several buses arrived...

Happy almost-Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy many and variegated pies while enduring less travel time than I will (6 hours round trip if I’m lucky – top that!). Alas, I am traveling to New Jersey to finish visit family (if ONLY, subconscious that made me type “finish” first), I will be forced to skip this year’s Turkey Chase 10K. This...
