If it wasn’t clear from the 5k and 10k recap, it was freezing cold for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and Saturday was no exception. I am typically a huge proponent of the “nothing new on race day” rule when it comes to running. This means that you should stick to what you’ve done

Another RunDisney race weekend has come! (Well, it was last weekend but I’m a slacker) As we all know, it is the first and largest race weekend for RunDisney of the year and certainly one of the craziest. The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is home to four races and two challenges. Naturally, as I
The time has come for another Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Specifically, the 25th running of the full marathon, coupled with the 5th anniversary of the Dopey Challenge and (if we’re being realistic) the 20th running of the Half Marathon.

Mark your calendars folks as the strangely unthinkable has happened: I willingly sign up for and participated in a Disney 5k that wasn’t a part of a challenge! It is no secret that I am not the biggest fan of runDisney 5ks mostly because of how easy it is for people to lie about their
The time has come to once again feel the power of the Dark Side here in Orlando, Florida. That’s right, it’s the 2nd Annual Star Wars Dark Side Half Marathon Weekend! For me this race weekend marks the end of my full-on crazy running season. The summer months are too hot for races in Florida
When it comes to getting ready for a RunDisney race, one of the biggest things for some people is the outfit. I have nothing but respect for those who spend an amazing amount of time creating the perfect costume for their race day. I have seen some amazing costumes out there including one group of
