I woke up for the half feeling more excited than I did the 10k. I sprung out of bed at 3am for the third day in a row. Usual morning routine. I was running the half in my home made Cinderella costume. Kelsey helped me sew and stuff the shoulder poufs! I got on the […]

I woke up Saturday morning ready for the 10k. I didn’t get much sleep, but that’s just how it goes during RunDisney race weekends. I had breakfast and got dressed. I was running as Minnie Mouse! I caught my shuttle to EPCOT and was later than I’d planned. The shuttle had a super long line. […]

The last weekend of February I headed to Disney World for the Princess Half Marathon. I wouldn’t just be running the half marathon though, I signed up to do the Glass Slipper Challenge- a 10k Saturday and a half marathon the next day. And if I was running 2 races, why not throw in the […]

Disclaimer- This is a recap of my race experience. I don’t recommend/encourage running a race while sick. Wow. That’s really all I can say. Just kidding, I have a lot to say actually.

I’m ridiculously pleased to say that training for Goofy’s Race & a Half Challenge is going really well. Or at a minimum, FAR better than last year (when I didn’t train). I haven’t missed a distance run yet and my mileage is climbing. When it was time to run 16 miles I couldn’t fathom it. […]
