When it comes to running, I really think the 10k is my favorite distance. It’s long enough that it feels like a challenge, but short enough that I don’t feel dead by the end of it. Doing a 10k in Disney is even better! So I always sign up for the Fairy Tale Challenge when […]
Princess half marathon 2019 recap
Everyone else is gearing up for the Star Wars races coming next weekend, but I’m over here still thinking about the Princess half marathon! I never got around to writing my recap from next month, so now I’m going to share it (like it or not). This was my 5th year in a row running […]

Seaside Sprint at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort
Lately Disney has been introducing more resort run options in the mornings. These are short “fun runs,” with the most well known one being the Beignet Dash at Port Orleans French Quarter on Sunday mornings. We were able to experience another one this past November at the Boardwalk – the Seaside Sprint Fun Run! The […]
Beignet Dash at Port Orleans French Quarter
Running at Disney has become super popular with all of the RunDisney events happening, but if you don’t want to do a ton of miles, come on a crowded race weekend, and get up at 3 in the morning, Disney is starting to offer some fun resort run options! The Beignet Dash at Port Orleans […]
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 […]
Fairy Tale Challenge training: week 17
Here we are – less than a week away from the Fairy Tale Challenge! I feel pretty good, I feel pretty ready, but I do also feel a little nervous. I know it’s a mental thing and I need to ignore it, but this will be the first official race I’ve done after my injury […]
Fairy Tale Challenge training – week 16
I am excited to say that this week was the last long run I had to do before the actual half marathon! It feels good to be this close and to know that my training is almost over. And especially to know that despite still having some pain, I’m in a much better place than […]
Fairy Tale Challenge training – week 15
I’m glad I got all of my runs in this week so I can relax and enjoy the Super Bowl tonight! I’ve never been much of a football fan, but being in Philadelphia the enthusiasm is infectious. It’s really cool to see a whole area united over something, and I do like a good underdog! […]
