Remember two weeks ago when I complained my foot hurt after my longer run? Well, it seems it wasn’t just a one time thing because I had bad foot pain after my longer run this week too. It seems fine on the short runs, but once I hit over 4 miles it starts hurting. So […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: Week 4
Some weeks are up, some weeks are down. This was one of the down weeks, unfortunately. In both the figurative sense and the literal sense! I had mentioned that my foot was hurting during last week’s run, so I took a couple of days off and didn’t run until Wednesday. Then on my Wednesday run […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 3
Before I get to my own training, I just want to talk a little bit about what happened at the Wine and Dine half marathon this weekend. From what I gathered from friends posting on facebook, they were evacuated from the corrals before the race started, and then started about an hour or more late. […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training – Week 2
This weekend was Halloween, but I still managed to get out for a run! I went out about 4:30, before we really got any trick or treaters and with plenty of time to still get ready for our Halloween party. My husband and I dressed up as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider! I was pretty […]
I’m training for the Glass Slipper Challenge!
Training has officially begun for the Glass Slipper Challenge! If you’re not familiar, this is an event that takes place during Disney’s Princess Half Marathon weekend. The challenge is to run the 10k on Saturday and then the half marathon on Sunday morning. For completing it you get a special Glass Slipper Challenge medal. I […]
DL Half Marathon training: 9 weeks to go
Before I get to my run training I just wanted to share that I got photos back from the Princess half marathon weekend this past February! Our amazing photographers, David and Vicki Arndt, took these – you might remember their work from our anniversary photo shoot! They are such great photos to help remember that […]
Princess Half Marathon 2015 recap
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. We got on the bus around 3:30, so that we could stand around in the […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training – 2 weeks to go!!
Wow, we’re only two weeks away. Even though four runs were on the agenda for this week, I only got in two. You’ll see why in a moment, but I felt it was smarter to rest up and recover rather than push myself too hard this close before the race. I’m really nervous now about […]
