It’s another Princess half marathon! As usual, I was doing the challenge. The Princess 10k had been the day before, so it was another early morning in a row. I usually try to dress as a princess for at least one of the races during princess weekend, but at this point I’ve done almost all […]
Walt Disney World marathon weekend recap 2025
While I have been at RunDisney’s Princess race weekend every year since 2014, Marathon weekend is not a consistent trip for me. I have found myself going more often than I expected the past few years, though! I didn’t really think I would go back after my Dopey Challenge in 2020, but this year now […]
Walt Disney World half marathon recap 2022
RunDisney is back, and I couldn’t be happier. This was my first RunDisney event since the Princess Half Marathon in 2020, and I didn’t realize quite how much I missed it until I was running the half marathon this year. I’ve been fortunate to go to Disney a number of times since they reopened, and […]
Disney World half marathon recap 2020
Out of all 4 of the races I did during Dopey Challenge weekend, I think the half marathon was in many ways the most challenging. It came after two days of racing and getting up early, it was much warmer than the previous two mornings, and it was also a mental challenge. I knew […]
Training tips for the Princess Half Marathon
February 2018 will be my 4th time running the Princess Half Marathon (and the challenge!), and I’ve done a number of other half marathons, 10ks, 5ks, and other various distances – including the full marathon. A lot of people do Princess as their first half marathon, and I think it’s a perfect choice for your […]
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 […]
WDW marathon training – week 16
This was a huge week for me in terms of running. Well, and other things also, since I just started my full time job last Monday! Not only did I do the Hershey half marathon with a pretty big PR, I also ran the furthest distance I’ve ever gone. And actually felt pretty good about […]
Hershey Half Marathon 2016 recap
Although it’s no Disney, Hershey Park holds a special place in my heart. It’s our closest amusement park, being only an hour and a half away. They have great roller coasters, and of course chocolate! And they host a 10k and half marathon every year which for some reason I always do really well on. […]
WDW marathon training – weeks 13 and 14
While I’ve fallen a bit behind on posting blog updates regarding my run training, the good news is that I haven’t actually fallen behind on the running! It’s just been a bit difficult to post the updates because I haven’t followed the training plan exactly like it’s written – but I’m mostly back on […]
Disneyland Paris half marathon recap
It’s always exciting to participate in the “inaugural” event for something, and that’s exactly what I got to do this past weekend! We’ve wanted to plan a trip to Europe for awhile, but one of the reasons why we picked this week in particular is because it was the very first Disneyland Paris half marathon […]
