Hello runDisney friends! I know, I know, I famously did not run the 2024 Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Luckily, someone simultaneously much cooler AND hotter than me did. Enter my cousin-in-law (that’s a real term; I checked) Kate, the only member of my family who loves Disney parks as much as I do. She recently came over to...

I will be in Orlando during Wine & Dine Half Marathon Race Weekend. I will not be running a single race. I KNOW I CAN’T BELIEVE IT EITHER I ~ Okay. Deep breaths, self. I know it all feels so wrong. But there is a very good reason for all of this. You skipped Wine & Dine this year...

For the first time in my running career, I balked at a runDisney bib price. Is runDisney finally flirting with price resistance? Disclaimer: What follows constitutes first world problems. It is a privilege to be in a position to ask these questions in the first place. Nevertheless, let’s discuss! IS runDISNEY PUSHING THE BIB PRICE LIMITS? Public registration for...

More WDW trip report! When we last left off, I had just finished the Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Obviously the first thing to do after a race, be it a sorta-kinda triumph or no, is to take a hot shower. Always a great time, that. ...

It’s trip report time once again! Check out all the posts from this report here. Onward! Let’s see, where was I? Oh, yes, it was the night before the Wine & Dine Half Marathon and I was having a panic attack. For a while there I wasn’t sure I’d be able to run it at all. Power walk if ya gotta, that...

Figment!! I love Figment!!!!! Which is how, stupidly, I...

It’s time for my all-time favorite type of post: the trip report! See all the posts in my 2022 Wine & Dine Half Marathon trip report. Onward! When we last left, uh… me & co, we were taking a pre-After Party siesta. Thus fortified by a little rest and a quick costume change, we jumped back onto the Skyliner...

This WILL be a GOOD WDW TRIP. I demand it! Okay, so my Achilles has been bothering me a bit. Not great for the Wine & Dine Half. And for some reason half my face decided breaking out would be a wonderful way to celebrate Halloween. Not great for race pictures. And I don’t have an Annual Pass. Not...
