This past February was my 6th time running the Princess Half Marathon. It’s a pretty special race for me because it was my first ever half marathon in 2015. I was once again back for the Fairy Tale Challenge and had run the Enchanted 10k the previous day. I woke up about 2:30am like any […]

Another February has gone by, which means another Disney race weekend! I just can’t quit Princess race weekend so I found myself there again running the Fairy Tale Challenge – that the 10k on Saturday and the half marathon on Sunday. Like all good Disney races, it was up bright and early for the Enchanted […]

Enchanted 10k 2019 recap

When it comes to running, I really think the 10k is my favorite distance. It’s long enough that it feels like a challenge, but short enough that I don’t feel dead by the end of it. Doing a 10k in Disney is even better! So I always sign up for the Fairy Tale Challenge when […]

Everyone else is gearing up for the Star Wars races coming next weekend, but I’m over here still thinking about the Princess half marathon! I never got around to writing my recap from next month, so now I’m going to share it (like it or not). This was my 5th year in a row running […]

Who else is training for the Princess Half Marathon? Last February I decided to continue my streak of creating princess running costumes for the Princess Half Marathon! Since I’ve now participated in this race weekend for 5 years I’ve done quite a lot of princesses, but there are still more to do! For the half […]

How to make a Fairy Godmother running costume

For the first time in a Princess race, I didn’t run as a princess! Because I was traveling with a group of people, many of whom were also running, we decided to do a group costume. After much debate over which movie to do and what characters everyone would be, we finally settled on Cinderella. […]

Princess half marathon recap

This was my fourth year running the Princess half marathon. Back in 2015 it marked my very first half marathon, and the beginning of a long relationship with running. This was probably the most nervous I was for a half since that first one, since it was my first big race since my injury and […]

2018 marks the 5th anniversary of the Enchanted 10k, and it also happens to mark my 5th year running this event! The inaugural Enchanted 10k in 2014 was my first real race ever, so this one is pretty special to me. Like all Disney races, we were up bright and early at 3am […]

Fairy Tale Challenge training: week 17

Here we are – less than a week away from the Fairy Tale Challenge! I feel pretty good, I feel pretty ready, but I do also feel a little nervous. I know it’s a mental thing and I need to ignore it, but this will be the first official race I’ve done after my injury […]

I am excited to say that this week was the last long run I had to do before the actual half marathon! It feels good to be this close and to know that my training is almost over. And especially to know that despite still having some pain, I’m in a much better place than […]
