One of the downsides of getting faster while racing local is the potential traffic snarl. If you finish in 2:15 but everyone has 3:30 to complete the race and said race is on the same roads you need to drive on to get home… you see where I’m going with this. I ran into this exact trouble the first...

No one loves summer more than I do, but even I have to admit that humidity doesn’t help. Sunday | rest Monday | ran 10.68 miles outside in 2:00 Yup. Not helpful weather at all. Tuesday | walked 3.06 miles outside in 50 minutes No ballet this week so I extended my walking time. Wednesday | ran 10.47 miles...

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! The Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom worries me, and here’s why: positioned at the mouth of the new Pandora land, I fear it will soon cease...

This is probably all related to that whole Goofy/Pluto bipedal talking dog/nonverbal regular dog conspiracy theory. Perhaps Pluto CAN talk, but he’s embarrassed? 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. See ya real soon!...

I swear I don’t actively try to turn conversations with strangers toward running. But it seems to be happening anyway. During a happy hour with some of Elizabeth’s co-workers before the ZOOMA Half, I got to talking about my race schedule. (Did anyone ask beyond “What brings you to Annapolis?” No. And yet here we are.) I talked a little...

Gotta start getting used to these outdoor runs, since I’m losing my gym. Sunday | rest Post-ZOOMA Half chill time. Monday | walked 2.1 miles outside in 35 minutes; 70 minute ballet class Tuesday | ran 11.11 miles outside in 2:00 Probably I shouldn’t’ve done this so soon after ZOOMA, but it was such a lovely day for a run...

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! One of the perks of upgrading to a moderate resort is expanded food options – for the most part, the resorts one tier up have additional bar(s)...

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! It was Pat who spotted the PhotoPass photographer, not me. I blazed right past her in my quest to ride the Haunted Mansion, but he saw and...

Something TERRIBLE has happened. What am I supposed to do now? Run outside exclusively?! In Maryland?! WHERE WINTER EXISTS????? Ugh, I need to move to Orlando or Hawaii or something ASAP. In the meantime… what do I do?! Luckily I’m pretty amenable to early runs outside during the summer while the sun rises early and the temperatures are acceptably...

Oh, is it race day already? ZOOMA Annapolis went so well I’m worried I may have used up all my good race luck for the year. If you’re running a race and see someone face down in the mud, covered in scrapes and both legs broken, it’s probably me. But let’s not worry overmuch about the future. Let’s dwell...
