Me at my first half marathon. I was a newbie once, too. I love newbies! Yes. That is a very long title. But here’s the thing: we don’t mean to, we don’t do it on purpose, but us runners (yes, I’m talking to YOU) tend to use words that we assume other people understand and […]
How to Save Money when you Run Disney!
So did you see it? The numbers just came out for WDW Marathon Weekend 2015. Here’s the link where you can find them but suffice it to say IT’S A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY and if you’re really nuts and want to go Dopey this year? Yeah, that’s gonna set you back $530. And that’s […]
Princess Half Weekend! Reviews of All The Stuff!
It’s been a week since my dreamy weekend at Disney for the 2014 Princess Half Weekend where I participated in the Glass Slipper Challenge. I know a lot of you dream about this particular race weekend, so instead of a lengthy trip report (and since Beth did such a great overview of the half!) I […]
Guest Blog by Beth! Princess Half Marathon With My Daughter!
Me and Beth! AKA the author of this post:) I’ve been blessed to call Beth my friend for many years now.

Tuesday This and That on Monday – IT’S ALMOST TIME! Princess Half Prep

I’ve decided to check a bag which makes packing somewhat more complicated. I will still put my gear for both races in my carry on – can’t risk the airline loosing my sparkle skirt […]
Isn’t all This Run Disney Princess Stuff Kind of Silly?
By any accounts, I have what one might call a “serious” profession. I have many friends who are in my same line of work who have “serious” blogs. I could name drop but I won’t;). I respect them, I love their work, and I read their blogs because they challenge me and help me as […]
NOT an Easy Run
Today’s 10 miler was tough. Really really tough. This is not me. I pulled this off the internet. Thank you internet. I can blame a whole lot of things. Having the flu a week ago and missing 8 days of training is the main culprit. But I know many of us are having serious, how […]
Princess Half Excitement and A Blatent Attempt To Win Something
Many of you know how averse I am to promoting things on this blog. I only review products that I actually use and love and even then don’t do that much. I’ve made a few notable exceptions and in fact, it may be time for me to do some product reviews again because I really […]
