So you’re going to Disney, and you’ve decided to finally take part in a RunDisney event – congratulations! Going to Disney and including the race makes it a bit of a different experience. You not only have to conserve your energy and think about race day, you also have to pack differently than you would […]
How to make a Fairy Godmother running costume
For the first time in a Princess race, I didn’t run as a princess! Because I was traveling with a group of people, many of whom were also running, we decided to do a group costume. After much debate over which movie to do and what characters everyone would be, we finally settled on Cinderella. […]
Princess half marathon recap
This was my fourth year running the Princess half marathon. Back in 2015 it marked my very first half marathon, and the beginning of a long relationship with running. This was probably the most nervous I was for a half since that first one, since it was my first big race since my injury and […]
Enchanted 10k 2018 recap
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 […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – February 2018
It’s February, which means I’m going to Disney this month! This has been the case for the past 4 years, as I keep going back for Princess race weekend. I think it’s a nice time to go. By February I’m at the point where I’m sick of the cold and need a break. And while […]
News, rumors, and round up – November 2017
It’s an exciting time of year to be at Disney – whether you’re there for the Halloween decorations and party or the Christmas ones, It’s a fun time. There’s definitely a lot of construction happening now too, and Disney doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. They announced a couple of new projects now, with […]
News, rumors, and round up – August 2017
It’s funny because I started out last month’s round-up talking about what an awesome month June was. Unfortunately July fell back into pretty horrible territory for me from a personal standpoint, but I’m going to keep fighting through it. It’s only August and I’m pretty much ready for 2017 to be over! But at […]
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 […]
