JENN: Welcome back the world’s greatest travelling companion, Elizabeth! She’s coming with me for Wine & Dine, her first trip in almost four years. There is but one purpose to this blog post: to find out what’s got you excited/what you’re looking forward to in Walt Disney World! Feel free to take off, but if you’d like more structure...

This was almost an unmitigated disaster, over before it began. I slept through my alarm. I slept through my alarm on race morning. I slept through my alarm on the morning of the Marine Corps Marathon. Turns out I don’t have race nightmares; I have prophetic race dreams! My alarms had been set at 4:50am and 5:03am. When I...

JENN: Did you run last week? MOON: Almost every dayyyyy! JENN: Yes! Good runs? MOON: Not too bad! They’ll get better! But this is nothing. Someone ran another marathon! This is so much cooler to talk about. JENN: Haha, yeah, I’ll do a recap later, but: 3 seconds faster than last year! STAGNANT. I mean, there were some mitigating circumstances I’ll talk about later this...

Right. So. Okay. Um. Marine Corps Marathon #2 aka Marathon #3 is this Sunday. #1 went pretty well. I am 100% certain that this rendition will be just as good if not better and I will rock this thing. I am perfectly calm. PERFECTLY CALM. Well, I’m 100% certain I’ll finish. (BARRING ACCIDENTS. KNOCKING ON ALL THE WOOD.) Don’t...

JENN: Did you run last week?! MOON: YES! Thus ends the boring Weekly Report. On my part, at least. JENN: WAIT NO – How were your runs?! MOON: My first run was… interesting. I had to go downtown for something and figured running would probably take less time than driving, so off I went. It was chilly, but the day was nice. Turns out...

Oops. Look, when runDisney races sell out within a day, I can get over it. When they DON’T and then hover at 98% full for WEEKS, I can’t take it. I succumb. I’m registered for the 2016 WDW Marathon. This is gonna be a weird one – to save money, I plan to fly in on Saturday morning, get...

JENN: You run at all last week? MOON: Nope! JENN: Restful! MOON: Nope! I miss running so much I’ve had TWO dreams in a row about going for a run. Two night in a row, rather. JENN: Any hope on the horizon? MOON: Perhaps. I don’t want to jinx myself. JENN: Okay, well, I’ll hope for you! You have a 5K coming up, right? MOON: Novemberishhhhh. Three miles...

When purchasing running shoes, always select the loudest, most obnoxious colors available. (In all seriousness, though, here are my two running sneakers: Brooks Ravenna 6 and Nike Zoom Vomero 10. The former offers a lot more support and the latter is lighter and speedier. I intend to take the Ravennas with me to the Marine Corps Marathon but keep...

Kill/Refurb/Marry time! This month’s blog hop topic is an obvious one – and one I’ve tackled before. We’re choosing items from the Epcot Food & Wine Festival! I have very deliberately not looked at what I posted last time in the hopes of keeping the past from influencing the present. Kill: Anything with peas or grapes or cherry tomatoes or blueberries I realize this...
