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 […]
How to make a Moana running costume
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 […]
How to make a Vanellope running costume
I love planning RunDisney costumes, and doing them for the Princess races are some of my favorites. I’ve traditionally done a princess for every one of these races. I followed along in that theme this year as well, though I chose to do some more “non-traditional” princesses rather than the typical ones. For the Enchanted […]
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 […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – Feb. 2016
I have super exciting news! Well, it’s exciting for me anyway – and hopefully you’ll be at least a little bit excited about it too. Not concerning Disney necessarily, but definitely about the blog. I recently won a giveaway from a design company called Rakshi Creations to totally recreate my blog look! I’m unbelievably excited […]
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 […]
Making a Frozen Anna running costume
For the 2015 Princess Half Marathon I decided I wanted to dress as Anna, one of my newest favorite characters from Disney. I actually did make a pretty good amount of costume – maybe not entirely from scratch, but a lot of DIY went on! So here’s the low-down on how I did my awesome […]
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 […]
