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

Before & after… and I’m honestly still in awe Before & after… and I’m honestly still in awe of the difference this rug made. 😁 

I found it at @revival and couldn’t be happier — it’s soft underfoot, doesn’t shed (huge win), and is stain-resistant, which is exactly what we need in a house with kids and pets. It also came with free shipping and easy returns, which made the whole process so simple.

Made in Turkey and beautifully crafted, it feels like the perfect mix of style and practicality — especially for a home that sees a lot of paw prints. 🐾
