It was a pretty good week of running! Two of my training runs this week were on Long Island since I’ve been home visiting family for Long Island. It’s always nice to be able to run in a different place and change up the scenery a little bit. Physical therapy continues, and the exercises I’m […]
Fairy tale challenge training – week 4
You know how they say sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better? I think that must be true for physical therapy, because in many ways I felt much more sore throughout this week than the previous couple of weeks. However, it was (mostly) the “good” kind of sore from stretching and […]
Fairy Tale Challenge training – week 3
After a hiatus from running, and the various pains and fears I’ve had about, I was really excited to get back into the swing of things this week. I’m no doubt slower than I was a year ago, and I am still feeling pain when I run – but we’re working on it and I’m […]
Fairy Tale Challenge training – week 2
“Hey, did I miss week 1?” That’s probably what you’re saying if you’re one of my rare followers who reads all of my posts and realizes I’m starting my training updates a week late. So you didn’t miss it, I did. And in fact I basically missed week 2 as well, but I’ve got a […]
Disney mug of the month: Disneyland
Mugs, mugs, mugs! Have I mentioned I love them? The only reason why Jason is okay with me continuing to buy them is because my dad is making me a shelf so I can store and display them all. Jason is just sick of them taking up so much cabinet space. And counter space since […]
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 […]
April 2017 monthly goals + blog updates
Blog updates I’m going to be honest, I miss having more time to blog. I still write posts, but I haven’t been able to do as much as I want to with the “extra stuff” – promotion, freebies, etc. I have so many ideas and so much that I want to do but no time […]
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 […]
Enchanted 10k 2017 recap
This year was my 4th time running Disney’s Enchanted 10k, as I have participated in the event since its inaugural race in 2014. It’s one of my favorites, with a fun course and a great theme. This year, with the princess theme being Beauty and the Beast, it was extra exciting for me. I ran […]
