Dopey Challenge: The Angry Corral Rant
Disclaimer: If you’re not in the mood for a totally petty, ranting, complaining post please feel free to skip this one. As many of you who participate in the runDisney races know, the corrals for Marathon Weekend were released this week. If you follow me on twitter, you probably also know that I am … Continue reading
