So I just got home about an hour ago and wanted to tell you that I’ll hopefully have some great pics and stories to share later in the week. It was such a great weekend and I have lots to share but here are a few highlights: I finished and got a gorgeous medal (not …
Lots of marathon packing lists out there. As in at least 1000 so I’ll not add to the google search madness. I will, however, tell you the things I WON’T be taking with me this weekend when I leave for the WDW Marathon:Self Doubt and Insecurity Yes, you can both stay home, thank you very …
