2015 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2, Half Marathon

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Sunday, May 10 – Tinker Bell Half Marathon Happy Mother’s Day! There were a lot of moms who apparently thought that getting up early and running a half marathon was a fine way to spend Mother’s Day. We set the alarm for 3:30 again. We’d brought yogurt and bread and peanut/almond butter to eat in … Continue reading "2015 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2, Half Marathon"

Springtime Fun at Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
we arrived at the parks about 9:30 and went straight to Disneyland, since it was going to be more crowded as the day went on. It was a really lovely day in Anaheim! I know those of you on the east coast probably don't want to hear this, but we have had an unseasonably warm March in southern California - with temperatures in the 90s on multiple days. Including just a few days ago. The forecast called for it to be 84 in Anaheim on Sunday, but I don't think it got above 78 while we were there. It was really a great day to be there.

This food blog covers my last two WDW … Continue reading "Eating to Run: Marathon Dining at Walt Disney World"

February 19-22 was Princess Half Marathon weekend at Walt Disney World. Last year introduced a new 10K race to this event, in addition to the 5K and half marathon.
