Coast2Coast and Glass Slipper Challenge
The time: February 2014. The place: Orlando, FL. The challenge: Glass Slipper – run a 10K and half-marathon back-to-back. DONE!
To add some excitement to obtaining my Disney Coast2Coast medal, thought I’d throw in a 10K as well. You know, didn’t want things to be too easy. First up on that fateful Saturday morning, the inagural Enchanted 10K. Wore my Believe shirt from Raw Threads, my purple Sparkle skirt and finished in a decent time for my record.
Next and the final race on my current Disney list was my 2nd Princess Half-Marathon. Clad in my Minnie Mouse inspired outfit (Raw Thread’s red bow shirt, polka-dotted Sparkle skirt, and my runDisney Minnie Mouse shoes.
And I FINISHED! Collected my 4 medals at the end of Sunday’s race: Enchanted 10K, Princess Half-Marathon, Glass Slipper Challenge AND my Coast2Coast (pink edition). Ah, now what next?

P.S. Can you tell that my favorite parts of these races are the outfits? 🙂 Oh, and can’t forget my Sweaty Bands! Love those things!

My first trip to Disneyland was a SUCCESS! Started off 2014 with the Tinkerbell Half-Marathon in Anaheim, CA. And you know I had to go to the parks while I was there.
Donning the Mouse Ears Again!
If I have sucker written across my forehead, I wear it proudly. After discussing my experiences with my first Disney half-marathon back in February, I convinced a colleague to sign up for a Disney run in November…so long as I signed up, too.

“Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!”
As opposed to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with green beverages and corned beef and cabbage, I took to the streets of Atlanta with 8,742 of my closest friends and ran/walked/stumbled 13.1 miles.
The weather was perfect – slightly humid with a chill in the air. And by the time the sun was up, we were running westbound. Neighborhoods came out to cheer us on. Friends were made on the course as we encouraged our fellow runners. And for not having trained for this race, I’m happy with my time of 3:18:32.
Right now, my next half-marathon isn’t until October but that could change if someone twists my arm. *smiles*

Upcoming Publix Georgia Half-Marathon
Alright, this coming Sunday is my next half-marathon adventure. Here’s hoping that the luck of the Irish exists and pushes me across the finish line on my own two feet. I’ll give a post-race report after the proper celebration. 🙂

Princess Fancy
As a new runner, I still get butterflies in my stomach before a race. (Yes, even after 2 years, I still consider myself a new runner.) I recently ran the Disney Princess Half-Marathon and it was my first solo 1/2. My time was horrible. My body was so sore afterwards due to lack of training. My mind was full of doubts.
But I did it. 🙂
