Is Moana considered a princess? Well, I don’t know what you think, but I believe she is. She may not have the official princess title, but she’s the daughter of the village chief so she’s as much one as Pocahontas. She’s also strong, independent, and fun, which is why I chose to do a Moana […]
Princess Half Marathon 2017 recap
After a 3am wake-up call on Saturday morning for the Enchanted 10k, it was time for another one on Sunday, February 26th! This time for the Princess Half Marathon, to complete the Glass Slipper Challenge. I got on my homemade Moana costume and headed for the buses. It was cool but at least not cold […]
Making a Rapunzel running costume
For the Princess half marathon I decided to do a Rapunzel running costume. There were several pieces to my outfit, but the most important thing to me was that it was comfortable. Some of them I made and some of them I bought, but I figured I’d share how I put the whole thing together […]
Princess Half Marathon 2016 recap
Maybe I’m crazy, but apparently I thought it would be a good idea to run a 10k on Saturday morning followed by a half marathon on Sunday morning. It’s called the Glass Slipper Challenge, and you get a special Disney medal for completing it. The races also require you to wake up at about 3 […]
The struggle of buying running shoes
I’m trying not to be upset with myself for not sticking to my training plan. The reason why I couldn’t is because I’m resting up from an injury, basically. And while I know it’s better to recover than to push myself, at this point I’m only a month out from the half marathon and I’m […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 11
I’m so late in getting this training post up that I doubt anyone will read this or comment on it – but I’m still working on holding myself accountable by posting. This is week 11 in the training and it was an okay week. No super long run this week, the longest was 4 miles. […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 10
Happy holidays to everyone! Not surprisingly this week was pretty busy for me, but I still managed to get 3 runs in (it was supposed to be 4, but this week that definitely wasn’t happening! So I cut out the 2 mile run). I couldn’t pass up this warmer weather! On Monday I stopped at […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: week 8
With my trip to Disney I fell a little behind on my training. I was hoping to get in at least two runs while I was there but I only did one. I did of course do plenty of walking around the parks – my fitbit says over 10,000 steps every day, and most days […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 7
The next couple of weeks of training are going to be a little weird because I’ll be in Disney for 10 days and I don’t know if I’ll get any running in at all! Due to this I’m aiming for 2 runs the next couple of weeks instead of 3, and I’ll be rearranging things […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: Week 6
This week was a great week for running! I only got two runs in this week instead of 3, but they were both excellent. Skipping one shorter run won’t ruin my training, and I was still recovering from my foot hurting (by the way, the new shoes are great so far – I haven’t had […]
