We’d like to congratulate Twitchy favorite Mary Katharine Ham who today completed the Star Wars Half Marathon at Disney World in Orlando with a very respectable time of 2:05 (is that parsecs?):
I am told this is a prominent cast member of your Star War franchise, fellow Americans. Pls advise. ???♀️ #starwarshalf #bringtheratio (Unofficial time pretty good! 2:05) https://t.co/ehtqNQGw6P pic.twitter.com/YUU8iUfJ23

And after the race, Mary went to one of her favorite restaurants for breakfast, Waffle House (you see where this is going):

And she was immediately criticized for it:

She fired back on Twitter, noting that she has nothing to apologize for:

If you think I bear responsibility or intend any ill will bc something terrible happened at a branch of my fave eatery while I was doing that, not reading news, that is very dumb & worst of social media. ?? for all. https://t.co/yXZyzVsxYA

She also dealt with trolls during the race:
Who wants to pray for my sore feet and legs for the last 3 miles of this #starwarshalf? ??????♀️

Whoops: Looks like he deleted it, but he wrote “Some people have no feet or legs….I’ll pray for them…..but okay…..”:
