I participated in my first Disneyland Race last month: the inaugural Avengers 5k and half marathon. It was fun, but it doesn’t have the same magic that Disney World Races have.

Running the Inaugural Dopey Challenge: Day 4

Disney 20th Anniversary Marathon Weekend 2013
Bling Shot I’ve done several marathons and half marathons and the Disney has been the most fun so far. I did the Goofy, which is a half marathon on Saturday and a whole marathon on Sunday. I went into it thinking I was going to try for a PR in the whole, and goof off… [read more]
