    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…

    The migraine attacks the marathon

    The 2022 Walt Disney World marathon….where do I begin. Should I start with the day before where the migraine attack kept progressing? Or the morning of where I had left my house and forgot my phone? I should’ve known this one was going to be rough at that moment. When I got to the start…
