2012 Disneyland Half Marathon Race Recap

Posted on March 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a little bit of a runDisney and all things Disney nut. Too me, Disneyland is sacred ground. It’s where the magic began, the first Disneyland theme park, and it is also one of my favorite races to run! The Disneyland Half Marathon is usually held on […]

Alison, my running buddy and fellow runDisney addict, and I were coming off of injuries inflicted during the summer training months. Her foot was healing from a fracture and I had torn my TFL.

For the 2012 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, I was supposed to travel with my family, but I had torn my TFL (tensor fasciae latae) in June.

The Fantasyland expansion brought new castles to Magic Kingdom, one of which belongs to the Beast (of Beauty and the Beast). The restaurant is called Be Our Guest Restaurant and serves […]

I grew up in a Disney that didn’t have a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and we didn’t wear princess costumes into the park. I know. I had a totally deprived childhood. I was secretly envious of my daughter, when taking her to Disneyland and Walt Disney World, when she got to wear a tiara with glitter […]

Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend: Royal Family 5K Race Report:

Ah runDisney! A runDisney 5K is what I like to call – “the gateway drug” to the runDisney races. Once you experience a runDisney race, you just can’t stop. The accomplishment makes you want to go back for another race, a longer race, and then another and another and another! runDisney begins their race weekends […]
