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 […]
Enchanted 10k 2016 recap
On Saturday, February 20th, I woke up at 3am. Was I crazy? Maybe. But I decided to run a Disney race, and it’s up bright and early for them! Well, I shouldn’t say bright and early. It wasn’t bright because the sun wasn’t even up yet. But I got on my Tiana running costume and […]
Running in the snow
There are many things I don’t like about winter. The snow is certainly one of them, and we’ve got about 2 feet over here. But even moreso than that, I hate the cold. I can’t run if it’s below about 35 degrees, it’s just unbearable to me. So when I heard we had a day […]
The struggle of buying running shoes
I’m trying not to be upset with myself for not sticking to my training plan. The reason why I couldn’t is because I’m resting up from an injury, basically. And while I know it’s better to recover than to push myself, at this point I’m only a month out from the half marathon and I’m […]
Running in Anaheim – yay or nay?
I’m excited to be taking part in the Virtual Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend Blog Hop hosted by DisTherapy! A bunch of Disney bloggers who run Disney are tackling many topics related to the Star Wars Half Marathon weekend, so be sure to check them out too! I got assigned to write about running in Anaheim […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 11
I’m so late in getting this training post up that I doubt anyone will read this or comment on it – but I’m still working on holding myself accountable by posting. This is week 11 in the training and it was an okay week. No super long run this week, the longest was 4 miles. […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 10
Happy holidays to everyone! Not surprisingly this week was pretty busy for me, but I still managed to get 3 runs in (it was supposed to be 4, but this week that definitely wasn’t happening! So I cut out the 2 mile run). I couldn’t pass up this warmer weather! On Monday I stopped at […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: week 8
With my trip to Disney I fell a little behind on my training. I was hoping to get in at least two runs while I was there but I only did one. I did of course do plenty of walking around the parks – my fitbit says over 10,000 steps every day, and most days […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 7
The next couple of weeks of training are going to be a little weird because I’ll be in Disney for 10 days and I don’t know if I’ll get any running in at all! Due to this I’m aiming for 2 runs the next couple of weeks instead of 3, and I’ll be rearranging things […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: Week 6
This week was a great week for running! I only got two runs in this week instead of 3, but they were both excellent. Skipping one shorter run won’t ruin my training, and I was still recovering from my foot hurting (by the way, the new shoes are great so far – I haven’t had […]
