It’s Dumbo Double Dare Time!

August 29, 2013 | Disney, fitness, runDisney, running, tips, Travel

It’s today! It’s today! Bobby and I leave for Disneyland today to run the runDisney Dumbo Double Dare!! I cannot believe it’s been a YEAR since we were there, time sure does fly.

I am however so glad this year there is no hurricane changing our travel plans. Talk about a stressful day! This year, we have a non stop flight woo hoo!

Ok, so a few reminders about the race weekend for those following along:

-I will be posting updates via my social media platforms: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

-You can track runners thanks to runDisney! Just head over to runner tracking to look up athletes.

-Need tips for the race weekend? Check out this post I wrote a couple weeks ago.

disneyland half tips

-Not sure where to eat while in Disneyland? I wrote a post about that, too!

-Panicked because you aren’t packed yet and you leave TODAY? I have a packing vlog for you!

-I will be attending the pre race meet up on Friday morning at 6:00 PST. I will be live tweeting and instagraming during the event, be sure to follow #DisneylandHalfMeetUp so you don’t miss the fun!

–Allison Sweeney of Biggest Loser and soap opera fame is running the half marathon, so if you are there, be on the lookout! I’m sure she will be at the expo, too!

-If you happen to see me at the expo or in the parks or at the race, PLEASE PLEASE say hello to me! I have had people tell me in an  email they saw me but were too scared to come say hello. Makes me so sad! I love, love, love meeting readers and fellow runners. Come talk to me!

#ad Who says gift cards can’t be personal? 🎁☕️ T #ad Who says gift cards can’t be personal? 🎁☕️ 

This year I wanted to do something special for my coffee-loving friend — something simple but still thoughtful. I grabbed a Starbucks gift card from Walgreens (they seriously have every kind you can think of, and you can even Buy Online, or Pickup In Store 🙌). 

Then I added my own touch: a cute Christmas mug, a candy cane, and a little note. Because the best gifts don’t have to be complicated, they just have to show you care. 💛

#ad For too long, retirement has been painted as “ #ad For too long, retirement has been painted as “slowing down.” But for me? It’s the opposite.

I see retirement as the start of bold adventures, family memories, and the freedom to keep moving and exploring — whether that’s traveling, staying active, or saying yes to new experiences.

✨I’m protecting my passion 

Because the people I love, the life I’ve built, and the retirement I want — it’s all part of my life’s work. And @Prudential can help protect it.
