The fall race season is upon us – and I have a lot coming up. The Marine Corps Marathon is less than two weeks away, followed immediately by (WEEEEE!!!!!) the Two Course Challenge at WDW. I’m easing through Taper Town, trying not to chillax too hard or push too much. It’s a fine row to hoe, whatever the hell...

I am unlikely to ever be one of those really elaborately costumed runDisney people. Don’t get me wrong – more power to those guys! I am very impressed with your work! But the physical and monetary demands are too much for me to pursue excellent race costumes at this time. However, my Figment-y dip into modest costuming has made me hungry for...

As is by this point well documented, I suffer a pathological inability to get through a workday without listening to Walt Disney World background music of some kind. It’s soothing and it cheers me up! I have lots of favorites, but sometimes after the 17th round of Innoventions area music I get the urge to branch out. And so...

I have this consuming fear that one day I’m going to go to the runDisney race expo, pick up my packet, and leave… then unpack my bag hours later and, in assembling my race gear, discover I FORGOT SOMETHING. Walt Disney World is both wonderful and weird in that you can’t readily access the outside world when you’re there....

Don’t forget, you can follow FRoA on Twitter @fairestrunofall and on Instagram @fairestrunofall. If you have any questions or thoughts, leave a comment or email fairestrunofall@gmail.com.

Every truly cultured Disney Dandy knows: you must carefully craft your Disney-fied WDW wardrobe for every Walt Disney World trip. It’s fun and satisfying and makes packing a breeze! And since I’m a chronic oversharer (as is a requirement for the job of blogger), I figured I’d share my daily outfit plans for my Wine & Dine Half trip with all...

So it’s been a mixed week. I got to go to the beach on Friday! But we ran into another bedbug issue. (Fear not, we have it under control. After all, we know what we’re doing. >D) I successfully ran 20 miles, but now my knee hurts. I discussed it with my ballet teacher, who’s really good at anatomy and suchlike,...

I have knocked out a fair number of 20 mile runs in my day as preparation for a marathon. Some have been treadmill runs; others were outside. But I can tell you with certainty there’s nothing like the serenity that comes from knowing that somebody else is in charge of providing your snacks and water. Which is why I...

As is always the case in the face of loss, the WDW community is abuzz with the announcements of more changes to our beloved parks – many of the “say goodnight, Gracie” variety. I thought, initially, that I might add my voice to the din, because what is a Disney blogger if not an Opinion Factory? But instead… Oh,...
