Before I get to my run training I just wanted to share that I got photos back from the Princess half marathon weekend this past February! Our amazing photographers, David and Vicki Arndt, took these – you might remember their work from our anniversary photo shoot! They are such great photos to help remember that […]
DL Half Marathon training: 10 weeks to go!
This week actually felt like a decent week of running again! Getting back on track and feeling a little bit better about doing the DL half. And in other news, a bit more info was released about the DL Paris half marathon, which I’m hoping to get to (provided registration isn’t too competitive and miss […]
DL Half Marathon training: 12 weeks to go
I wasn’t sure how this week was going to go, since I was away at a conference for 4 days and it was jam packed with activities. Our only breaks were usually after meals, and I don’t run well on a full stomach. Luckily I got my runs in for the week!
DL Half Marathon training: 13 weeks to go
It’s been hot this week! Definitely makes running more challenging, especially when I’m not a morning person. I like to post updates about my costume if I’ve done anything with it. I can tell you I’m going to have an awesome running skirt and I can’t wait to share it with you!! But that will […]
DL Half Marathon training: 14 weeks to go!
According to my countdown, I leave for Disneyland in 86 days! It’s exciting that it’s getting so close! I still have to work on getting my Esmeralda costume together. Week 5 in Galloway’s training program, and I had the longest run I’ve had to do since probably the Princess Half Marathon: 6.5 miles. My first […]

Disneyland Half Marathon Training – 17 weeks to go
It’s time to start planning my costume for the Disneyland Half Marathon! I have almost no components of my costume so far (just a white tech shirt that I bought which I will decorate in some way), but I did decide on which character to do – Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame! I […]
Disneyland Half Marathon Training! 18 weeks to go!
I am super excited to share that I am going to be taking my first trip to Disneyland in September, and not only that – I’ll be running the Disneyland half marathon! Since I ran Princess in Disney World back in February, it means I’ll also be getting my coast to coast medal. I wasn’t […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training – 2 weeks to go!!
Wow, we’re only two weeks away. Even though four runs were on the agenda for this week, I only got in two. You’ll see why in a moment, but I felt it was smarter to rest up and recover rather than push myself too hard this close before the race. I’m really nervous now about […]
