runDisney Surprises

August 9, 2012 | Disney, running, Travel, Uncategorized

 

If you are a runDisney fan, you probably already heard about the new(ish) runDisney Twitter account. But, what you may not know is runDisney now has it’s very own YouTube channel. Sweet! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on the fun. So what got all this started? You might remember my post about the Great Medal Caper, and me saying something about unlocking fun runDisney surprises along the way. Well, the next level was unlocked and the surprise was a runDisney YouTube channel, fun!

They have a bunch of different “sections” on the channel such as travel tips, Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, and Disneyland half marathon weekend to name a few. I was scrolling through today, and there is actually a section for “runDisney fan videos” and what do you know, a familiar face!

After going through some of the videos, I picked out a couple favorites to show you. First of all, the recap of last year’s Disneyland half marathon got me really excited/anxious/nervous for this year’s race. It’s going to be amazing!

Next, I found this video, the course reveal for the 20th anniversary Walt Disney World marathon weekend. Disney loves to celebrate anniversary years, and I can’t wait to run this special course as part of Goofy’s race and a half challenge, and of course get my special 20th anniversary medal. Of course, I would be lying if I didn’t also say I am way nervous to run Goofy!

While the Disneyland half marathon in California is sold out for this year, you can still register for Disney’s marathon weekend races!

  • Full marathon– 81% Full
  • Half Marathon – 70% Full
  • Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge – 88% Full

Also, those of you participating in the Tinkerbell half marathon in California in January, have you seen the new logo design for this year, it’s so cute!

I just love the green color. One of these years I WILL make it out there in January to run this race, it’s certainly on my bucket list!

One more thing…I may or may not have done this:

I wasn’t going to, I REALLY wasn’t. It’s hard to justify two trips so close together, so I was just going to run the Rock n Roll New Orleans full which is on the same day. Them, my mom informs me she really wants to run Princess again, and offered to pay for my race registration and we are going to share a room! Obviously, I am not going to turn that down, so…yeah….I will be back for the anniversary medal!!!

QOTD: What is your favorite color for a race shirt? Short of long sleeves? Tech fabric or no?

    I love tech tops! The bright tops are my favorite. Happy for you that you’ll be running the Princess! I’ll be there too for my 1st half!! 🙂

    Some of my run club friends are doing the February Princess half in Disney, they were telling me about it this morning. I would love to do a race there and probably will eventually, maybe a full :). I love the races that do tech tees if it’s a women’s fit, short sleeves are a must. And any race shirt that isn’t white is awesome :).

    I love the tech material and I like both short sleeve and long sleeve shirts. I like all kinds of colors too except white. I love wearing race shirts but I’m so afraid I’m going to stain the white and end up not wearing it as much. I love the Princess shirt but I end up not wearing it because of that fear. I love the Tinker Bell design and wish they had done something like that for this year’s races.

    Ughhh so full so fast! I had little fantasies of running one of the January ones this year…guess I better hurry up and make up my mind, huh?! 🙂

    Whoo! I knew you’d be back for another round of Princess…after all, how could you resist another anniversary race/bling 😉

  8. Rachel @ Runner's Tales says

    I am seriously considering running the Princess Half too! I am SOOO close to registering for the race because it is another anniversary medal and I simply can’t resist them. 😉

      I know! the medal did me in.

    Ahh yay for princess! I SO want to run that one day. I’m getting excited and nervous for Goofy!

    Makes me wish I could run it again this year. Such a fun marathon weekend. I’d love to do the Princess sometime too.

  11. Mary says

    August 9, 2012 at 11:34 am

    That’s exactly what my mom did (minus wanting to run it with me). Definitely helped my wallet! 🙂

      August 10, 2012 at 7:58 am

      I know right? They aren’t cheap!

    I love bring colors and short sleeves for race shirts, and I definitely love women’s cut tech shirts… I think every race should have a women’s cut shirt. I mostly stick to women based runs for that reason.

    I am jealous of your Princess registration! That is the race got me motivated to start running. I was hoping to do it in 2013, but I am waiting to see what my husband’s school schedule looks like before I register.

    • Heather says

      August 10, 2012 at 7:58 am

      I agree about womens cut shirts!

    The Tinkerbell Half is definitely on my bucket list, too. It looks like so much fun!

    Woohoo! Congrats on being on the runDisney youtube!!! And yay for the princess half! I will be running it too!

  15. Joan says

    August 9, 2012 at 3:16 pm

    Yeah, that would make my decision pretty easy too. 🙂 Enjoy Princess 2013. I am on the fence.

    I love tech shirts. Seems like most are short sleeved so it is fun to get a cool long sleeved one.

  16. Emily says

    August 9, 2012 at 4:27 pm

    How exciting!! I’m signed up for Princess as well!! Its my goal that I will be up and running (pun intended) in time for Princess. 🙂

    I really want to do a Disney race some day but I never can plan so far in advance and they sell out so quickly! That’ll be so much fun!

    • Heather says

      August 10, 2012 at 7:57 am

      haha I know what you mean. The half won’t fill for awhile still

    This looks so fun! I am by no means a runner but the Disney Marathons always look so fun!

    Running one of the Disney races is definitely on my bucket list! They look so fun and exciting!

    I am running the princess half as well—I had wanted to do the full but we are taking a family ski trip that weekend and I had to take one for the family. 🙂 Excited to check out the youtube channel–what fun!

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasn’t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how — nonstop licking. What started as “normal anxious behavior” turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. She’s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

I’m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. You’re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real — and it deserves real support. 🤍

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and they’ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dolly’s healing.

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! ✈️

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! It’s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so it’s very easy to grab things in flight! I’ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? 👜✨

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!
