Running to catch the FIGMENT of my imagination.
It has been a long, long while since I have done a challenge race. I think the last one was when runDisney held the Star Wars races, which I greatly miss. But if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you right? Have you heard of Figment? The Figment of imagination from Epcot at Walt…

My arms are in motion
A week ago I completed another marathon. Toughest one yet. Worse than the NYC marathon where I had broken a few ribs due to my Scoliosis and finished the race like that. But one thing I am proud of, besides finishing the runDisney WDW marathon last week, is how my running formed improved throughout the…
