Runner, KNOW THYSELF

Why did I see the new Disney Marathon Weekend themes and think, ohhhhh, DOPEY IS FOR ME!

When, Dear Reader, Dopey is not for me, never will be for me, and never ever was for me. Ever.

This weekend is proof however that- borrowing a bit from Taylor Swift– runDisney puts narcotics in all of their races.

Not every race weekend is a winner theme-wise (see Wine and Dine 2024). But this one? This one is absolutely freaking adorable.

And it almost got me.

Almost.

But I quickly remembered the miles attached to those cute race themes and backed the truck right back out of that momentary manic phase.

If you are considering upping your game and going for a bigger mileage, I am the first to say DO IT. Doing hard things is so worth while.

I am here to cheer you on and say YOU CAN DO IT.

But me? I’m gonna do the hard thing called restraint and remind myself how miserable I was for years (YEARS, yall!) after running the Marathon ONCE.

I’m just not mentally built for all that- and if you aren’t, that’s totally ok to recognize that about yourself. We’re still fabulous and our 5Ks and 10Ks are enough.

ENOUGH! — BUT DANG THATS A CUTE ASS THEME AND I’M STILL GONNA BE JEALOUS
