Happy Global Running Day!

June 7 , 2017 No Comments

 

To all my running friends near and far, Happy Global Running Day!

Running has taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible. What they say is true; the good habits I have established through running and training have seeped into other parts of my life, making me feel the happiest, healthiest and most confident I have ever felt. I have also met many running friends along the way and am so grateful for the miles we have shared together.

When I made the decision to run my first runDisney race February 2016, the Princess Half/ my first-ever half marathon, I never expected to experience such a euphoric sense of accomplishment. There is no greater feeling than crossing a finish line. Oftentimes the emotions I experience during a race are overwhelming, and yes I tend to be in tears of joy by the time I receive my medal.

I am looking forward to many more years of running, race swag, runDisney vacations, and (hopefully!) PRs.

To anyone who is curious, I dare you to make that choice today. Begin your running journey and be prepared to have it change your life.

Happy running!

Whistle While You Work: Top 5 Hollywood Studios Music Tracks to Get You Through the Day

Okay, so I know I was going to post about Animal Kingdom next, but Tommy reminded me that I was not going in chronological order. So to be a true Disney fan, I’m going ahead with sharing my Top 5 Hollywood Studios tracks. It will always be MGM to me!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is undergoing a bit of an identity crisis at the moment, with many of its original areas and attractions lost and gone forever to make way for New Age Hollywood Studios. I have high hopes for Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land but a part of me will mourn Streets of America, Catastrophe Canyon, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure. RIP WDW of my youth.
