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...

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 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...
