One month from today I’ll be halfway through the Dopey Challenge! (Race wise, certainly not mileage wise…I’ll only have 9.3 miles out of 48.6 miles done!)

Wine & Dine Half Marathon: The Race
So, when we last left off we were at the starting line! (And if you missed how we got there you can checkout W&D: The Meet-UP and W&D: Before the Starting Line!) I have to admit I sort of look at the Wine & Dine Half Marathon as a good “excuse” to go to Disney … Continue reading
Wine & Dine Half Marathon: Before the Starting Line
In case you missed it, my Wine & Dine weekend started off with the runDisney Meet-Up on Thursday night.

Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend: Expo & Meeting Friends!
I really wanted to get my race recaps done first, so now I just want to go back and “chat” about a few other things from the Disneyland race weekend! The Expo As I’m sure most of you have either read or experienced yourself, the expo was…well…overwhelming. I’m not going to dwell on it much … Continue reading
Dumbo Double Dare: The Half Marathon
My apologies in advance for the looooong post, I had so many great pictures it was hard to narrow them down – enjoy! Another race and another early morning! The good thing about the runDisney events in California is that coming from east coast time the early morning wake up calls really don’t feel that … Continue reading
