Princess Here I Come!

July 17, 2014 | Disney, fitness, runDisney, running, Travel

After a one year runDisney hiatus due to pregnancy, I will be running the 2015 runDisney Princess half marathon!

2012-02-26 07.31.15

Yall, I love this race so much, and I am so glad it falls to where it will be my first post baby runDisney half marathon! When I ran the Glass Slipper Challenge this past year, I was nine weeks pregnant and VERY sick. Not to the fault of runDisney, but I was miserable. I ran the 5k as well, so three early mornings plus morning sickness does not equal a good time.

I may be smiling on the outside, but….

I am ready for a redemption race in 2015, and to have a lot of fun. I will NOT be doing the Glass Slipper Challenge, I decided that running just the half marathon a few months after baby will be plenty for me, then I can spend more time hanging out and relaxing and not as much time waking up early and being exhausted.

Looking for a little motivation and excitement to get you ready? Check out these past blog posts I have written about Princess:

I will most likely be bringing baby M, so I hope some of you get to meet her!

P.S. The half, 10k, and glass slipper challenge are sold out, you the 5k is still open for registration as of today!

QOTD: So, who got in yesterday? What races are you running? Do you wish you were going?

    I’m soooooo excited. Why is it 7mos away?!

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:27 am

      Gah! 7 months away makes me nervous b/c I have such a long way to go!

  2. Jamie Thornton says

    July 17, 2014 at 2:29 am

    Wish, wish, wish I was going! But since I have no clue where I will be living in February, I thought it best not to register. 🙂

    Good luck with the race! Can’t wait to hear how you do training and in the race. I didn’t start running until way after my kids were born. Now training for my first half in September.

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:28 am

      oh fun good luck!

    I wish I could do it but I already have on my calendar the Wine and Dine for 2015 (pre-planning)! I really hope that I don’t have to wait 2 years all the time to do a Disney race though! They are AWESOME!

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:27 am

      I REALLY want to do wine and dine 2015! So bummed I’m missing it this year

  4. Jennifer Donnals says

    July 17, 2014 at 5:07 am

    That’s great, Heather! This past year was my first PHM (I did the Glass Slipper Challenge) and I LOVED it, too. Can’t wait to go back in 2015.

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:27 am

      Glad you enjoyed!

  5. Meranda @Fairytalesandfitness says

    July 17, 2014 at 6:30 am

    How wonderful Heather! I think PHM weekend will be the perfect time for your little princess to visit WDW!

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:24 am

      I agree!

  6. Stacie@SimplySouthernStacie says

    July 17, 2014 at 6:35 am

    I so wish I could run this race! It’s during our busy time at work though : ( Plus I’ll be doing the marathon the month before. Can I just live vicariously through you?

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:24 am

      haha sure, if I can live through you for marathon weekend!

  7. Sarah says

    July 17, 2014 at 7:16 am

    I’m so sad it sold out so fast! I wasn’t on top of it! I’ll have to wait till the next year! I can’t justify flying down for the 5k 🙁
    I’m excited that you’ll get to run it!!

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:23 am

      I’m so sorry! 🙁

  8. Bridie Rist says

    July 17, 2014 at 6:23 am

    My hubby signed me up for the half during the early AP registration. Last year’s was my first ever half and my first runDisney event. Looking forward to the craziness again!

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:26 am

      that’s great! I love it!

  9. Frank@The Fat Runner says

    July 17, 2014 at 6:24 am

    Awesome! Will this be Baby M’s first trip to WDW as well?

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:25 am

      yes!

  10. Ashley says

    July 17, 2014 at 7:32 am

    Exciting!!!! What a perfect week for Baby M to visit Walt Disney World! So excited for you too

  11. Victoria L Jones says

    July 17, 2014 at 6:54 am

    I got lucky enough to get in the Glass Slipper Challenge. It was stressful but I got in. I’m hoping to earn the pink coast to coast in 2015 bit we will see how that registration goes! I hope we don’t have the same issues we had with Active trying to register for Tink next month!

    I hope I get to meet your baby come February & I hope this Princess race weekend goes better for you than the last.

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:23 am

      I love my pink coast to coast! It’s one of my favorite medals.

  12. Karen :0) says

    July 17, 2014 at 7:08 am

    Can’t wait!! Eeeekkkk!

  13. Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says

    July 17, 2014 at 8:08 am

    I’m signed up for the Glass Slipper Challenge! It’s my first official one…even though I ran the 10K and Half during Marathon weekend but there just wasn’t an official challenge. I’m excited to get the extra medal!!! 🙂

  14. michelle says

    July 17, 2014 at 7:14 am

    DIAPER DASH!!! i can’t wait!!!

    • Heather says

      July 17, 2014 at 7:23 am

      Haha unfortunately baby M will only be 4.5 months old so a little to young to diaper dash this time

  15. Cara says

    July 17, 2014 at 7:23 am

    I ran the princess at 12 weeks pregnant and then when my baby was 5 months. It was the shortest training I had done for a race but it was really nice to have something for me post baby. I’m in for GSC this year it will be my first challenge and I’m super excited.

  16. Blair says

    July 17, 2014 at 7:37 am

    I’m a GSC runner for 2015! Hope to see you there!

  17. Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie says

    July 17, 2014 at 9:05 am

    I really want to run the Princess half one day! What a great post-baby workout motivator!

  18. Kaitlin C says

    July 17, 2014 at 8:10 am

    Sign up was so stressful! Is it always like that? I got into the Glass Slipper Challenge though and I’m so excited! It’s my first runDisney event.

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:09 pm

      in the past couple years yes it has gotten stressful!

  19. Sana says

    July 17, 2014 at 10:53 am

    So I will be running that as my FIRST 1/2 marathon! I am super pumped! And terrified. Any advice?

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:09 pm

      try searching my blog I have a few beginner tips and runDisney tips!

  20. Montana Ross (@LaZgirlruns) says

    July 17, 2014 at 12:12 pm

    Exciting!!! I’m registered for the half marathon as well- this will be my first 🙂 I hope I get to see you and say hi to a fellow blogger and runner!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:10 pm

      yes! say hi if you see me!

  21. Juliana @ 4 Well Rules says

    July 17, 2014 at 11:16 am

    how exciting!!
    I will be running the 5k and glass slipper challenge (after doing Dopey and Rebel challenge) so I will definitely be re-reading your posts about all of the races before it is time. Im so excited already!

  22. Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says

    July 17, 2014 at 1:39 pm

    I can’t wait to live the excitement of Princess weekend through and everybody else running it! I wish we were in a position for me to have registered yesterday, but there’s just too much other stuff going on right now. It was tough to make the “right” decision, but Princess will be there for me to run someday!

  23. Lauren @ Lauren's Glass Slipper says

    July 17, 2014 at 1:47 pm

    Awesome!! Congrats on getting in! I love PHM weekend and as much as I wish I could go next year, I am so excited about doing the Dopey Challenge!

  24. Anna says

    July 17, 2014 at 1:38 pm

    My sister and I signed up for the PHM! It will be our first RunDisney race and we are so excited for it. My question is what resorts are the best to stay at for the race?

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:10 pm

      all the resorts are host resorts, so it really just depends on how much you want to spend!

  25. Denise @ Healthy Disney Family says

    July 17, 2014 at 3:19 pm

    Yay! Congrats, Heather! I’m taking this year off from runDisney races too and can’t wait to run at WDW again. I’m doing the GSC, deferred from this year.

  26. Alicia says

    July 17, 2014 at 6:40 pm

    Thats awesome!!! I love reading all of your race recaps as well. It gets me pumped for our upcoming trip to Disney! Running my first full there in January!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:10 pm

      you will love it!

  27. Jewell says

    July 17, 2014 at 9:45 pm

    I got in! So excited for this race (and to read all your recaps!). Love the outfits…lots of great ideas!

  28. Kristen says

    July 17, 2014 at 10:15 pm

    Your outfits are all so cute! I really wanted to run it again next year (this year’s was my first half marathon ever!) but it’s too much for me to fly down from our new place in Alaska. Maybe 2016! Do you have a costume picked out for the race yet?

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:11 pm

      not yet, but I’m sure it will involve a tutu 😉

  29. Nick says

    July 18, 2014 at 1:55 pm

    It was nice to finally meet you in person at PHM… based on what you said about not feeling well, you always had a smile… best wishes with the new addition!

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:49 pm

      thank you 🙂

  30. Lisa Green says

    July 22, 2014 at 1:47 pm

    Just found your site today! Can’t wait to read more tips and recaps (I’ve already read a few). I’ve been a WDW fan for 24+ years and a runner for 16 – finally I’ll get to combine the two at the 2015 GSC (plus 5K). Congratulations on Baby M! Keep those tips coming!

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:31 pm

      Thank you for reading! You will love runDisney!

  31. Katie says

    July 31, 2014 at 1:05 pm

    I managed to register for the Glass Slipper! This will be my first half marathon, and I’m beyond excited it will be a runDisney run. I did the Tower of Terror 10 miler last year and had so much fun!

    I also have a potentially silly (or too much information?) question for you: you wear spaghetti strap type tanks a lot, but I never see big, bulky bra straps under. I still haven’t found “the” sports bra, and was wondering what you wear to run in?

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2014 at 5:12 pm

      IN those photos I have layered a strappy top and strappy tank from runningskirts.com. One is a sports bra with removable pads, and the other is the tank with a built in bra and removable pads. Together the two are enough support for me! 🙂

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

#thisis40 #40andfabulous #thankyoujesusfor40years #birthdaygirl❤️ #40andoverclub
Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
