Hello everyone!
It’s been a while since I’ve actually written a TR, but I really wanted to do one for this race weekend. It was my first runDisney race, and a trip that I have been insanely excited about for months and months. I started running a little over a year ago after hearing about so many people having tons of fun at Disney runs. But my brain is weird, and if I was going to pay for a Disney event, I wanted it to be a “big” one, at least in my mind. Something that seemed crazy. So I decided to sign up for the Princess Half Marathon last summer. At that point, I had just trained for my first 10k, which I ran right before our May Disney trip last year. Between that time and now, I have definitely been bitten by the running bug - I ran my first half marathon in October and loved it, and I signed up for the Goofy Challenge in January before we even left for this weekend!
So, I was really wanting this race weekend to be fabulous, because I had already committed myself to another runDisney experience
Thankfully, aside from one major mishap, it was a really great weekend. My husband and I both teach at a university, so we weren’t really able to make it a longer trip, but it was great to get a little Disney fix before the summer!
Who: Lindsey (me) and Will, my husband
When: February 24-26
Where: Polynesian DVC studio! Our first stay at our home resort
Why: Running my first Disney race!
