May 19, 2015 by Laura Gilbreath

This year for the first time the Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend was moved from January to May – specifically to Mother’s Day weekend. I was not sure how that change was going to work out, but it ended up being a great time, at least for us. Although there was an Inaugural 10K … Continue reading "2015 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 1, Expo and 10K"

Springtime Fun at Disneyland

April 4, 2015 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.

I don’t think I’m alone in that…Still, it’s important to at least try to make those calories count, especially when I’m coming up on a race day (or two or three). This food blog covers my last two WDW … Continue reading "Eating to Run: Marathon Dining at Walt Disney World"

2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2, Half Marathon

March 3, 2015 by Laura Gilbreath

I think I got even less sleep on Saturday night than I did on Friday night. Frustrating, but not unusual for me. Maybe I perform better when I’m sleep deprived… I was awake before the wakeup call, and I canceled it so that it wouldn’t wake Deb up. Did the usual routine of having something … Continue reading "2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2, Half Marathon"

2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 1, Expo and 10K

March 2, 2015 by Laura Gilbreath

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. And running both the 10K and half was a new “challenge”: The Glass Slipper Challenge. I ran the challenge last year, and had so much fun … Continue reading "2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 1, Expo and 10K"
