On the morning of February 22nd, I woke up bright and early at 2:45 am. I thought about texting my brother Happy Birthday, but I suspected he wouldn’t appreciate the super early morning wishes! So instead I got into my costume for the Princess Half Marathon. I had done Princess Anna and will soon […]
Making a Snow White running costume
I use the term “making” here a little liberally as I only actually made from scratch one part of my costume for the Enchanted 10k – the rest of more of how I put the costume together from various pieces I had or bought. But I was really happy with how it turned out, so […]
Enchanted 10k 2015 recap
February 21st the second Enchanted 10k, and also my second time running it! We were up bright and early, and I got into my Snow White running costume that because of the cold temperatures now had leggings and running sleeves to it.

A Beginner’s Guide to Run Disney, Part 2
In part 1 of the Beginner’s Guide to Run Disney, I covered some of the basics about pre-race stuff, like the hotels, expo, registration, and more. Because there are so many questions about running and the races themselves, I decided to put it into a separate post! Running/Races Should I wear a costume? You don’t […]
Tower of Terror 10 miler after party: Villains Bash!
Before I ran the Tower of Terror 10 miler, I was really curious what the after party, the Villains Bash, would be like. What rides would be open? What character would be out? Was there anything else to do? I had a lot of trouble finding any information on it at all! Disney didn’t […]

Alice in Wonderland running costume
I’m not going to lie, one of the things that I get most excited for when it comes to a Disney race is putting together a costume. I love costumes! For the Enchanted 10k I did a simple Belle costume. This time around, a group of friends that was going decided we should do a […]

The Challenge involves running the Enchanted 10k on Saturday, followed by the Princess Half Marathon on Sunday. It’s a big goal, but I’m excited for it! And what better way to […]
Tower of Terror 10 miler 2014 recap
On October 4th I got to run in my longest race so far, The Tower of Terror 10 miler. It was an evening race, so while I was in the Magic Kingdom for about two hours in the morning, I spent the afternoon napping and resting up. I grabbed a pasta dinner at the Grand […]
Things to Carry with you When you Run
When I first started running, this was one of the biggest questions on my mind: what on earth do I “need” when I go running, and what should I carry with me? Through training and experimentation I’ve discovered what works best for me. This, of course, will vary for everyone based on multiple factors: […]
