Something very, very old. Who mourns the Universe of Energy? The UoE is...

Hellllo again! I am back from the beach. I ran. I read. I didn’t get bitten by bedbugs, although Pat thinks maybe he was? We’re still parsing that out. It was a good time, anyway. Hang on for a two-week workout recap! Sunday, July 2 | ran 7.29 miles outside in 1:20 Monday, July 3 | walked 2.13 miles...

Hey! Wanna hear something neat? As of Saturday, this blog is four years old! Dang. Wanna hear something else neat? I’m at the beach this week! So rather than a full blog post, I invite you to sit in silence for a minute or two and ponder what Fairest Run of All means to you, on this, its birthday....

This meme addresses a trivial issue that actually really bothers me for some reason. If you’re going to match me with a princess, do it by personality, not by weird and highly unlikely coincidence! But then maybe I’m just upset that I’ve never saved China. It’s so hard to really know yourself, you guys. Don’t forget, you can follow FRoA...

You know that Runner’s World app thing where you can punch in the temperature, time of day, weather conditions, etc., and it’ll tell you what to wear? Well, I can’t use it. No matter what I do, it always seems to assume I want to feel the chill. 55 degrees out? Try shorts and a tech tee! 30 degrees? Eh,...

Sunday | ran 7.07 miles on the treadmill in 1:10 Remember the treadmill? Man, that was nice to have. Monday | ran 5.52 miles outside in 60 minutes But time marches on. Circumstances change. We must adapt....

The trip report proper is over, but we’re not done yet – I’ve still got lots of thoughts, including food reviews and photos! You can see all the posts in this report here. Onward! (I mean the crawl was mini. The bars were not.) I can sometimes be a commando park aficionado to my own detriment. Rather than rest a bit...

Speaking of Cinderella Castle… I maintain a longstanding tradition in my family, passed down from my grandmother, of Rejecting Reality in favor of A Fantastical World Of My Own Choosing, Thank You Very Much. This can’t be surprising; I mean, I looooooooooooove Walt Disney World. Duh. Life being what it is, I am forced to keep one foot in...

The trip report proper is over, but we’re not done yet – I’ve still got lots of thoughts, including food reviews and photos! You can see all the posts in this report here. Onward! Having failed in locating a non-swamped PhotoPass photographer outside Spaceship Earth, I was bound and determined to make it happen in front of Cinderella Castle. The closer...
