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

Sometimes we (myself included) all need a little reminder that this app shows short snippets of the entirety of someone’s day and life. No one wants to post the boring, the ugly, the sad, but it’s there. 

Be careful not to compare your life with the people you see online. A lot of the things you see are inaccurate or a stretch of the truth, or just the best of the best. That’s not reality and I want to make sure no one thinks that I am ever trying to portray some perfect life that doesn’t exist. I’m a hot mess 99% of the time, and that’s ok! 😜

I sometimes am still waiting on an adult to walk into the room to tell me what to do….and then I remember I AM the adult. 🤣

When we get down to it, we are all very similar. I love you guys.

From laying out my workout clothes to packing my daughter’s basketball bag… and yes, remembering my vitamins — staying proactive just makes life run smoother.

But I realized it shouldn’t just stop with me. My dogs are part of the family too. 💛 So when I’m grabbing our wellness essentials at select Walmart stores, I make sure to pick up our NaturVet pet supplements right from the Pet Health aisle.

At home, it’s simple: I get my vitamins and supplements, and they get theirs. Staying a step ahead means taking care of all of us — two-legged and four-legged. 🐶✨
