A few weeks before Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend I received an e-mail from Cigna, the Marathon Weekend sponsor, inviting me to a blogger event they were hosting…a cook-off! The event was held under a large outdoor tent at the ESPN Wide World of Sports, it was a great spot, except for it was FREEZING … Continue reading
So a marathon can seem like an overwhelming feat – I mean it is traveling over 26 miles by foot! One of the best things about the Walt Disney World Marathon is that there is always something to look forward to! No matter what part of the race you’re at, there’s either another park, attraction … Continue reading
With runDisney Marathon Weekend less than a week away (and those running the Dopey Challenge will be on day 2 already!), I thought I’d re-share a post I wrote last year as I was preparing for the Dopey Challenge! The key to completing a back- to-back race challenge lies in the between race recovery! We’ve … Continue reading
Walt Disney World Marathon weekend is less than 2 weeks away and with Christmas behind us and my last long run in the books I’m really starting to get excited! This will be my 4th year running at the runDisney Marathon Weekend – my first year I did the marathon (my first!), the second year … Continue reading

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

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
I can’t believe the Dopey Challenge is over already, I feel like it went by so quickly! I’ve loved writing and sharing my race recaps so far and I love reading about everyone else’s experiences at the races! If you’ve missed any of them, the links to my 5k, 10k and half marathon recaps are … Continue reading
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
