I was contacted a few weeks ago by the great people at The Ladders. They wanted me to write a blog post with advice for those just graduating college and entering the job market for the first time. At first, I found the request amusing because: A. I didn’t finish college and B. I’m currently […]
Why Parenthood Going Off The Air Is NOT Going to Work for Me
I can’t. I just seriously can’t. Why are you leaving me, Bravermans? WHY?!?!?! Here’s why it’s not OK: Zeek – the perfectly imperfect dad. He loves fierce and sometimes in a really unhealthy way. But it’s OK, because the motive is right even when the actions come out clunky and odd. The perfect ex-hippie/military man […]
5 Things That Can De-Rail Your Half Marathon or Marathon Training And What To do About Them
I’ve had more bad half and full marathons than good ones. By a lot. So I believe that makes me particularly and ridiculously qualified to talk about the things that can go wrong. In another post, I’ll go over the things that can go wrong in the race itself, but today, I want to talk […]
A Reminder To My Blogger Friends – Your Words ALWAYS Matter

All week, I have been participating in the Your Turn Challenge where bloggers from all over the world are committing to blogging every day for 7 days. This is today’s submission. I have an actual dictionary on the bookshelf in my dining room. And for the first time in ages, I looked a word up […]
Star Wars Half Marathon! I Adore Running Disney at Disneyland!
Just got home yesterday from an AMAZING weekend running the Run Disney Star Wars Half Marathon!! There is so much to tell and it was just lovely, but I’m going to go ahead and go out on a limb here, knowing it may make my registration for next year that much harder: you’re gonna wanna […]
Reviews of All The Things! Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2015
After a very emotional and long read about the race itself (you can read that here), I thought I’d take a minute to write something MUCH shorter about the weekend in general. (whoops, just finished the post and came back to tell you, it’s not actually that short. Sorry.) Where we stayed, what we ate, […]
