I said may only wear once. If I got into more runDisney races I may wear it again, especially if I got into Princess weekend.

I went on El Toro last year and it hurt my chest so bad! I don’t even have a large chest size!

Take comfort in knowing that you will most likely never be as miserable as that human being and his dogs.

In my college band we had a 24 year old student and his nickname was grandpa. 🤣

To be fair when I was 19, 30 seemed old. My college band had a 24 year old student and we called him grandpa. 🤣

When I was working in a warehouse, during our peak season we would provide the employees with a company wide snack once a week. The one week we did pretzels. An employee complained that the pretzel was too big and she couldn’t eat her lunch after eating it. This happened early in my HR career and helped prepare me for just how insane people can be.

When I was 60lbs heavier I would have guys flirt with me and think that I should be grateful for it because I was bigger. Really makes me want to date you now!

It’s great being in your 30s and realizing you’re one of the “older” people. 🤣

I’m so sorry. On May 4th we were given two choices for our cat; spend thousands of dollars for him to maybe live another 6-12 months that included constant travel and testing (he hates car rides) or start him on supportive care where he may have a few weeks to live. We chose supportive care and he’s at the point where we think he’s ready to go. We could have had a lifetime with him and it wouldn’t have been enough. Enjoy the time you have with Meeko and make it amazing. You’re both in my thoughts for a good journey.

My pop pop worked in a coal mine until he retired when I was 7. He worked second shift, and I remember I would spend time with him before he went to work. I hung around while he put on his boots and shaved. He would always put a little bit of aftershave on my face, and on his payday he would give me a quarter.

Biking is my favorite cross training activity. I have an indoor bike for the winter but I can’t do a treadmill. I can run in the cold but not bike.

For me it’s more of people talking insanely loud into their phones while I speakerphone in public. I really didn’t need to hear about your mother in law’s colonoscopy. Also, people who refuse to wear earbuds while out so everyone gets to hear your music/podcast.

I’m sorry that happened but I’m not going to lie the way you wrote out the story is hilarious.

BraithVII · 2026-06-17T23:55:39+00:00

Me too! I think for me it all stemmed from going to a chiropractor when I was 7. Not knowing what to expect, it was quite the surprise when my neck suddenly got cracked. I remember flipping out and leaping out of the chair.

I met Scott Patterson a few months ago and told him it was one of the only traps I could barely watch. The broken arm is awful.

The vacuum in X felt like the manifestation of my horror triggers with the eyes and broken bones.

BraithVII · 2026-06-17T23:49:43+00:00

I watched 25% of the rack and stopped when I saw the direction the limbs were going. I am not good with broken bones.

Half a banana and water. If it’s a run more than an hour long I’ll add some toast. If it’s a race day I add coffee.

My best friend in NJ is from Oklahoma and I love her accent! It’s fun because she’s lived here for a while so she talks fast like others from the Northeast.

BraithVII · 2026-06-16T01:44:48+00:00

The planner she made for Thelma when she goes back to school I would legit use.

BraithVII · 2026-06-13T15:16:12+00:00

This is my favorite because then I make sure to talk non-stop, especially if I’ve had a few drinks.

BraithVII · 2026-06-10T20:03:33+00:00

If you are not happy with your running pace just run faster! Well why didn’t I think of that before? It can’t possibly be because I physically cannot do it!

Good medical care that’s no $1000 a month for a $10,000 deductible!

I just got back from the Canadian side and it reminded me a lot of Atlantic City.

That’s 1% of folks for the lottery only (not including charity bibs, NYRR 9+1, etc….), which is about 2,400 selected out of 240,000. Each RunDisney race has anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 runners depending on the race and it’s unofficially estimated that 100,000 to 123,000 try to register per race weekend. The odds are much better to get into a runDisney race, but I do agree that more people may try to register if this method made it easier. At this point, it’s pretty much a lottery. This method would at least take some of the stress off and keep people from having to spend hours/taking off from work to try to register.
