I’m in for the #runDisney Walt Disney World #Marathon in January! It’s a ways off, but between now and then I’m hoping to train up to achieve a new marathon PR there. I feel like it’s within reach for me right now.

Here's a little recap of my #runDisney Princess Half Marathon race experience. Finish time: 1:37:27 (7:26 min/mile), which is getting VERY close to my PR/PB, which I set in my 20's. That makes me VERY happy!

I really don't want bad things to happen in the United States, but I'm afraid bad things happening will be the only way some people are going understand why we have federal agencies doing the things that they do.

Let’s say a school board has a hunch that a teacher is stealing school supplies and based on that hunch they shut the whole school down for good. That’s basically what the DOGE bags are doing, under the guise of eliminating waste and fraud.

A commenter on TikTok tells me that if I don’t stop for character photos during a #runDisney race, I’m wasting my money. They also tell me I’m not supposed to go for a PR at a runDisney race. Sorry everyone, I didn’t get that memo.

1 Across is a gimme today, especially for Disney Parks fans. I take this as a good omen for the rest of the day.

If my husband were to leave me for Jonathan Bailey, I would completely understand.

Husband: Do you want kosher salt or sea salt?
Me: I don’t know, what’s the difference?
Husband: Just pick one.

Target recently announced that they’re ending their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Because that action doesn’t align with my own values, I’m no longer participating in the Target Creator Program and will no longer promote the brand in my content.

My current daily snack habit: a bowl of animal crackers, pretzels, and a bit of dark chocolate. These animal crackers aren’t buttery, shortbread-esque ones. They are the dry ones, which for some reason I prefer.

I'm a huge proponent of naps and I always feel like I'm especially sharp after a nap. All I need is 10-15 minutes and I feel like a new person.
Research shows that napping can not only take the edge off a night of inadequate sleep but also boost our cognitive and learning capabilities.

Even a 10-minute nap can have profound effects on our cognition and mood in addition to alleviating afternoon slumps.
Naps can help improve your cognition. Here’s how to take a better nap.

Yesterday I ran the #runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon! It was my 5th #marathon, but first at WDW. Also, I haven’t done a full marathon for 15 years, so I was super happy with my time of 4:05:35! #running

I have a strong preference to focus on running just a single race during #runDisney race weekends, but when so many people are out there running already, it makes me so antsy to get started already. If tomorrow’s marathon goes well, I may try for Dopey next year.

I generally stick to posting frivolous content, but right now social media is a total wreck. Twitter (as it was) is long gone, TikTok may get banned, and Meta is starting to really piss me off. I miss the days of the internet when the rich and powerful didn’t have so much influence on it.

We’ve had contractors coming and going as we finish up this home renovation. The best part is the little surprises they leave for you.

I'm getting daily phone calls from people claiming to be from Google who are either alerting me to an attempt to access my account, or most recently, handling my account deletion request. I play along a little... "Yes, go ahead and delete my account, ok thanks for checking, bye!"

Good luck to all the #runDisney Dopey Challenge runners out there! I'll be out there running/walking with you on Sunday!

It was much colder than usual at Disney’s Hollywood Studios last night but that sure didn’t stop us from having fun! We rode a couple rides and I did a quick chocolate chip cookie taste test. Find out which one there is the best, according to me: www.youtube.com/shorts/HgiFs...
