What’s Next: Vacation Edition
Because Jason works in professional hockey (and I used to) the only time we can really take vacations together is over the summer. All year long we look forward to those glorious few weeks we get to spend up on Cape Cod! It’s definitely frustrating that we don’t get to escape the cold winters to … Continue reading
What’s Next: Running Edition
Ok, so are you ready for a break from Dopey related posts yet??! I didn’t write any sort of “2014 Goals” post around the New Year because I just felt like my focus was on completing the Dopey Challenge at the time and I didn’t want to look past that to the rest of the … Continue reading
Dopey Challenge: Meeting Some Friends Along the Way!
One of the fun things about running races at Disney is that there always seems to be a friend around every corner! Between blogging and running I’ve met so many great new people and I was fortunate to “run” into many of them while I was in Florida for the Dopey Challenge! Of course there … Continue reading
Dopey Challenge: Pros, Cons & Would I Do It Again…
So with all my recaps of the Dopey Challenge complete I thought I’d write a separate post sharing some of my pros and cons of the entire experience. **Please keep in mind that having done many runDisney events (including marathon weekend the past 2 years) I am also comparing these races to past years and … Continue reading
Dopey Challenge: The Full Marathon
Day 4 and another 3am wakeup call. Although I had been disappointed with the previous 3 races (crowded courses & not many characters) I was still looking forward to the full marathon. This would be my fourth full marathon (Disney 2012 & 2013 and Marine Corps 2013) and I’m starting to really think it’s my … Continue reading

If you’ve missed any of them, the links to my 5k, 10k and half marathon recaps are … Continue reading
Dopey Challenge: The Half Marathon
Day 3 and another 3am wake up call. Honestly by this time when my alarm went off I was about ready to throw it across the room. I’m not a morning person to begin with (not that this was morning so much as middle of the night…), and it certainly didn’t help that I wasn’t … Continue reading
Dopey Challenge: The 10k
I have to admit, I was pretty excited about the 10k. Honestly, for no reason other than it was NEWSIE DAY! The idea for the Newsie costumes came about a few months ago when I text some friends letting them know I was dancing around my moms kitchen to the Newsies music we had just … Continue reading
Dopey Challenge: The Expo & 5k
I can’t believe Dopey weekend has come and gone! There is just so much to recap, so I’m planning on breaking it down race by race and then I’ll write a separate post with some pros and cons of the weekend and my overall feelings on if I would do the Dopey Challenge again. So, … Continue reading
