WDW Marathon Weekend Packing List Vlog

January 7, 2013 | Disney, fitness, runDisney, running, Running Skirts, tips

 

I mentioned in an earlier post that I am a bit frazzled when it comes to packing for runDisney and Goofy’s challenge. I have never run races on back to back days, so I am having to think really hard about what I need times two for the races. I thought some of you may want to know what I pack for a destination race (especially Goofy!) So I thought I would film a vlog and show you my plan.

So there you have it! My packing list and tips for runDisney marathon weekend. I hope this helps some of you still trying to get things packed, and I hope to see you at marathon weekend! I will be live tweeting @runningwithsass and on Instagram @runningwithsass so be sure to follow along with the fun and use the hash tags #WDWmarathon #WDWHalf #GoofyChallenge

QOTD: Did I miss anything on the list?

    Love the list! I wouldn’t have thought to carryon my shoes but I think you’re exactly right! I also read that if you’re in one of the Boardwalk area hotels and want to walk to your room, don’t forget your park ticket!

    Good luck in the Challenge! I am training for the Princess Half and have the Goofy Challenge on my list of crazy things to do!

    Ahh, so exciting! I can believe you leave so soon! 🙂 We always take gallon sized zip top bags so we can fill them with ice from the freezer/ice machine for our legs after the race.

    Good luck this weekend!!! Being prepared is a huge part of the battle, and it looks like you’re all set there!!! I love traveling with my foam roller. The looks people give you in airports and hotel lobbies is priceless!

    Hit hands is a great idea I’ve never thought of. May take that into consideration for my half marathon this weekend. Weather is looking a bit unpredictable

#ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, #ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, so I’m soaking up every driveway game, every laugh, every little break in the grass. 🤍 

Lately our go-to has been Zbar Protein Snack Bars, especially the new Strawberries ‘N Creme flavor that is made with organic whole grain oats, real fruit, and protein to help support growing kids. It’s a snack she loves and I feel good about too. 

It’s a great little reset so she can get right back to doing what she does best, playing her heart out 💕

Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t q Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t quite the same. A little more thinning, my scalp hasn’t felt the same, and I’ve spent more time just throwing it up into a ponytail, and honestly not giving it much thought beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I started becoming more intentional about actually taking care of my hair and scalp, and it’s such a small shift, but it really does make me feel better.

I’ve been using Mochi Health’s personalized hair support options, which makes it easier to stay consistent instead of guessing what to use. It fits into my routine and finally feels like I’m doing something proactive for myself instead of just hiding it in a bun. Check out the link in my bio for $40 off your first month.

Embarkation day on the Disney Wonder out of San Diego is pure organized chaos in the best way. Bags everywhere, everyone buzzing, and that moment you step onboard and suddenly forget how to function like a normal human.

We’re talking: Where are we even going first? Do we eat or explore or both immediately? Why does this already feel like the best decision ever?

And then the sail a wave party happens and… yeah. You’re gone. Mentally, emotionally, everything. 😭

If you know, you know…embarkation day hits different 🚢✨

Thanks @bestdayevervacay and Disney for hosting us on this magical adventure! Use the 🔗 in my bio to let then plan a cruise just like mine, down to the last detail!

Self-care always felt like something I’d start “wh Self-care always felt like something I’d start “when life slows down.”
So… never. 👀

I wanted something simple, personalized, and actually doable, not a 47-step routine I’d abandon in two days. That’s why I started using Mochi Health for skincare + wellness support, and it’s been one small thing that makes me feel more put together (even when I’m not).

If you’ve been wanting to get your skin and wellness together without overthinking it, I shared more in the reel. Link in bio for $40 off your first month.
