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 […]

2017 race schedule

As you have probably realized, I enjoy running. It’s my exercise of choice, but it’s hard to stay dedicated to it all the time. The best way I’ve found to make sure I keep a good running schedule is to always have a race that I’m working toward. So I thought it might be fun […]

How to make a Megara running costume

January 27, 2017 by beckyginther@gmail.com 8 Comments

Choosing a running costume for the Disney World marathon required a lot of thought and debate for me. This was big – the marathon! – so I wanted to pick a character I really liked. Running the marathon also represented strength and courage, so I wanted to pick a Disney character who also represented those […]

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. […]

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 […]

I’ve been trying to keep up with running in preparation for the beginning of marathon training, so I signed up for a half marathon this June, on Sunday the 12th. It was in Philadelphia and called the ODDyssey half marathon. I like races that have something a little unique to them, and this one definitely […]

Run the Vineyards 5k recap

Sometimes (often) the best part of running is what’s waiting at the finish line. It’s usually a medal for longer races, or sometimes it’s just knowing that Jason is there cheering me on and feeling proud of me. But for the 5k I ran this past Sunday, there was wine! One of the perks of […]

Hershey 10k 2015 recap

While this isn’t strictly Disney related, it does involve running, which I know a lot of readers are interested in, and Hershey Park, which is also a theme park… so close enough! This past weekend I participated in the Hershey 10k in Hershey PA. We arrived the evening before and picked up my race packet, […]
