You Can Fly!

June 13, 2012 | Disney, family, fitness, running, Travel, Uncategorized

 

Did you know that registration for the Tinkerbell half marathon opened yesterday? That’s right, the 2nd annual race in Disneyland is back on again! I would SO love to run this race. If only money grew on trees and I could make it out to California for it. Looks like a BLAST!

Here are some deets:

-Nearly 20k people are anticipated to sign up!

-you can register at runDisney.com

-This fun weekend is slated for January 18-20, 2013

-The half marathon runs through Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park – including the new Cars Land – and the streets of Anaheim. The half marathon course will include music, entertainment and Disney characters at various junctures as well as runners in colorful Tinker Bell costumes. Runners who finish the half marathon will receive a Tinker Bell medal with its own set of wings.

-The race weekend, hosted by Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim, features a variety of events, including The Never Land Family Fun 5K and the runDisney Kids’ races on Saturday (Jan. 19), and the Tinker Bell Half Marathon on Sunday (Jan. 20). There will also be a health and fitness expo Friday and Saturday (Jan. 18-19) showcasing the latest running merchandise, as well as guest speakers – all geared toward women.

I am all about bling and I LOVE this metal! Hopefully I will get one someday! What are you waiting for? Sign up now! Prices increase mid July!

Speaking of price increase, the marathon weekend price increase for those races June June 19th, and Goody is already 72% full, and the marathon is 53% full. (Interested in more info on the full, check out my post revealing the new course for the special 20th anniversary run!)

More exciting news, registration for Disney’s Princess half marathon opens JULY 10th!!!

Guess what? I will be hosting a discounted room block for the Princess half race, just like I am for marathon weekend (I still have plenty of rooms available for the marathon weekend room block! contact me for more info at heather@travelwiththemagic.com, great rates!!!)

No matter what runDisney race you choose to run, you will NOT be disappointed. Feel free to contact me for more details on any runDisney race!

QOTD: What runDisney race is your favorite (or would you like to run) and why?

    I would love, love, love, LOVE to run the Disney Princess half. I’ve never been to Disney ever (don’t think less of me!) and this would be the most amazing way to go!

    We need some FitFluential sponsorship power here: I can run as Peter Pan and you can run as Tinker Bell!

      Can I be Tiger Lilly?

      • PavementRunner says

        June 13, 2012 at 6:01 pm

        I’m slowly thinking of an idea… it involves videos, pleads to FitFluentil powers that be and acting like a fool to gain viral sponsorhip momentum.

        • Heather says

          June 13, 2012 at 6:22 pm

          Sounds like a plan! Even I’d it’s not FitFluential there has to be someone to send us!

      • Heather says

        June 13, 2012 at 7:41 pm

        absolutely!

    I’d LOVE to run the Princess Half for my first Half Marathon.

    Too bad money doesn’t grow on trees! 🙁

    But when I can afford it, I totally plan on going Coast-to-Coast and doing Tinkerbell & Princess!

    • Heather says

      June 13, 2012 at 7:42 pm

      I know right? if I find a money tree I will let you know.

    This was such a fantastic race! I wish I could run it again next year but right now it isn’t looking possible. Princess is definitely my fave and I will be running that again next year!! 🙂

    This is my ultimate half for next year….I will do it!

    Love it so much and I’m super jealous! I want to run the Disney half so much! 🙂

    Oh I’d love to run Disney – but I don’t think I could make it work anytime soon 🙁

    I really want to do this race! I am moving to California next week, so I would even be on the right coast. I will have to be saving my penny’s for this one. We are moving to the land of expensive houses so my hubs has put a stop to high priced races for now..I think a FitFluential team is a must! PS. You are the most gorgeous Belle EVER!

    • Heather says

      June 13, 2012 at 7:41 pm

      aw thanks! Belle is my favorite! how cool you are moving to CA!

    I have not signed up yet, but I am hoping to Legacy the Tink race. My favorite RunDisney race is the Mickey Marathon, though…wish I could go for the 20th!

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻
