Tales from a Self-Proclaimed Slacker
So here's the down and dirty truth - I've been a slacker. Life has gotten in the way these past few weeks and I need to get myself back on track. I can't say it's been a bad few weeks - it's actually been really exciting around our house! Both of my boys celebrated birthdays the first week of February which meant birthday fun and a big birthday party. February is also the busiest...
Conquering Excuses
Spending quality time with my treadmill
this week.
"It's too cold."
"It's snowing."
"It's too late."
"Why does it get dark so early?"
"I'm too tired."
Any of those sound familiar? I know I've been guilty of saying them before, but I'm working on ways to conquer excuses in...

Time to lace up those training shoes, Mickey!
One of the best things about keeping a blog are the connections you make with others along the way. I've met so many fabulous "virtual" friends over the years who share both a love of running and a love of Disney with me. So in the spirit...
2017 Princess Half Marathon Race Recap
Leg 2 of the Glass Slipper Challenge found me with another early wake-up at 3AM to get ready to join the thousands of women (and lots of men too!) at Epcot for runDisney's Princess Half Marathon. Like other runDisney races, the start time is an invigorating 5:30AM and they ask runners to arrive by...

Walt Disney World is a place where dreams come true and runDisney weekends there help those dreams become reality. This year, my friend and I traveled for a girls weekend to Walt Disney World as part of the Princess Half Marathon festivities where we participated in the Glass Slipper Challenge...
Taking Time for Mom
Over the past three months I've taken an unplanned hiatus from blogging. I can't say that I'm sorry about it either. While I was in Walt Disney World for runDisney's Princess Half Marathon weekend, I had a blast with my good friend, but realized just how out of shape I was for someone who...
I'm officially a runDisney Princess!
It's been quiet for a few weeks on the blog as I've prepared for and traveled to Walt Disney World for my very first Princess Half Marathon Weekend. I'll be posting more details on each of these experiences in the weeks ahead, but I wanted to take a minute and give you a quick weekend recap from...

How to Survive a runDisney Expo with Your Sanity
If you look up the definition of "insanity" in the dictionary, you may see a picture of a runDisney event. From the breathlessness that accompanies registration day ("Will I get in?") to the organized chaos mass of people loading into corrals on race morning - no race that I've ever experienced...

A trip to Walt Disney World isn't complete without a visit to the mouse himself, Mickey! If Mickey Mouse is on your "must-do" list (and we all know he is!) there are plenty of opportunities to meet him around the theme parks and in resort dining. With all of those chances to say hi to Mickey,...

It's All About the Bling
One of the things that sets runDisney races apart from all others in my book is the amazing bling. When it comes to Disney races, rather it's been a plastic medallion, a rubber medal, or the real deal, I've always been proud of and impressed by the medals. You can count on fun designs that are...
