Today was registration day for January Disney World marathon weekend! I myself have signed up for the 10k and half marathon, but this past year I completed the Dopey Challenge. If you’re not familiar, the Dopey Challenge is running 48.6 miles over 4 days. That’s a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon 4 mornings […]

How to make a Joy running costume

by Leave a Comment

When I ran the Disney World 10k I decided to dress up as Joy from Inside Out as one of my costumes! She is one of my favorite characters ever. It’s funny, because even as someone who can suffer from depression and anxiety, I relate a lot to Joy. I can be extremely passionate, excited, […]

This past February was my 6th time running the Princess Half Marathon. It’s a pretty special race for me because it was my first ever half marathon in 2015. I was once again back for the Fairy Tale Challenge and had run the Enchanted 10k the previous day. I woke up about 2:30am like any […]

Friday morning was the 10k of my Dopey Challenge – my favorite distance! I would have to work not to run all out, because I needed to save my strength for the rest of the weekend. Plus my back was hurting a bit from the previous day. We’d gone to Hollywood Studios and there was […]

Disney World half marathon recap 2020

by 10 Comments

  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 […]
