runDisney Princess Half Marathon Registration Tips

Laura BowersUpdated on August 18, 2021August 18, 2021

Oh, runDisney, how I’ve missed you! So much so that I’ve registered for all three Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend races, the WDW Marathon’s Dopey Challenge, (aye caramba,) and thanks to my perfect status for the Fairy Tale Challenge, I’m now registered for the Princess Half Marathon! Meaning I’ve just shelled out a LOT …

Friday Five: 5 Good Things from 2020!

Laura BowersUpdated on August 17, 2021January 15, 2021

A lot of grim things happened in 2020. Ain’t no doubt about that and there’s no need for me to list everything out … we’re all perfectly aware already! Instead, I’ve poured myself a lovely cup of tea and this morning, I’m reflecting on the good things I’ve discovered in 2020, however small and oddball!

Formulas, Breaks, and Other Mental Battles

Laura BowersUpdated on March 7, 2020March 4, 2020

Cross-posted on Write, Run, Rejoice to save time. 😉 Well, I did it. Something I’ve been thinking about doing for a long time but held off because A.) it’d be a waste of money seeing as how I’m not ready and I lack the talent, B.) I’d most likely flake and quit, just like I’ve …

2020 WDW Goofy Challenge Mile Marker Videos!

Laura BowersUpdated on February 27, 2020February 2, 2020

Happy Sunday, everyone! So okay. I must confess that I thought about not filming during runDisney’s 2020 WDW Marathon Weekend. Instead, I’d just take everything in and enjoy time with my friends! I mean, after all. I now have twenty past video race recaps to finish in 2020.

  • A quick walk for Day 2 of #streakingwiththecoolkids 💖
✨
And warning: I’ll be posting every day in hopes of staying accountable and to help me get over my social media slump!! Oh, if you only knew the pages and pages of Reel ideas I have! #getoveryourselfalready 🤦‍♀️
✨
Hope you have an AMAZING weekend!! 😘
✨
#runningwiththecoolkids @pinkcupcakegirl #runstreak #treadmillrun #joyreinvented #teamsparkle
  • When it comes to #PrincessHalf theme announcements, I have to admit … I’d be excited about any theme!! ✨💖✨
🌸
It could be Princess Poopsicle, for all I care, because PHM for me is about laughing and spending time with these amazing ladies and so many other dear friends! It’s my heart and soul, the one #runDisney race I could never give up, so if the theme were Princess Poopsicle, then awesome, it’s another chance to wear my brown @sparkleathletic skirt! 👑💩🤣
🌸
I do LOVE seeing everyone’s excitement, though, and I absolutely CANNOT WAIT for registration day!!! 🥰 Who’s in?? 🙋‍♀️

  • Day 1 done!! 🧡#streakingwiththecoolkids 
✨
Three (not so) quick miles while listening to the lovely @coachheatherj and @aquiltingjewel from the #RunnersWithoutLimits podcast!! 💙 Speaking of which …
✨
MAJOR (belated) CONGRATS for your 200th episode!!!! What am amazing achievement. You ladies ROCK!! 👏👏👏
✨
And Jen, you have a ways, but when you do qualify, I’ve saved SO MUCH MONEY buying gift cards through AARP! Like, 10% off our cruises! 🛳️
✨
And Heather, major amen about being your own advocate when it comes to menopause and your medical health!! 🙌 I learned that lesson too late! 🤦‍♀️
✨
And btw, I finally wore my killer visor that has been far too pretty to get dirty!! 🥰🥰🥰
✨
Congrats to all you streakers who crushed Day 1!! ❤️ WE GOT THIS!
✨

  • I was hesitant to join the #streakingwiththecoolkids  challenge and I’m even more hesitant to share my this.
✨
Why? For multiple reasons, the biggest of which is because despite my best intentions, I have failed this challenge so many times in the past.
✨
So. Many. Damn. Times. 🤦‍♀️ 
✨
But my reasons for jumping in … again … outweigh the negative. I want to feel a sense of belonging again with the running community, something my toxic trait of self-isolation has lessened. Plus, despite those many failed attempts, my eternal optimistic refuses to give up hope on myself, no matter what.
✨
And mostly … I need a win. 
✨
So here I go, pledging to this challenge. Again. Will this be the year I finally complete it? Let’s find out!
✨
#runstreak #hereigoagain #runningcommunity #womensrunningcommunity #whythehellnot
  • Morning coffee with legends? Okay! ❤️
✨ 
Bob and I are SO HAPPY about the historic @theyorktownehotel now being open after years of renovations! This made our last-minute bike ride on the @heritagerail trail last weekend absolutely perfect. 🥰
✨
The hotel is very bike-friendly with lovely decor, a great bar and restaurant, (our pancakes were divine,) and a wonderful staff who were so helpful!! It’s also located near some great restaurants like @whiterosebg @figandbarrel and many others!
✨
Yorktowne’s rooftop bar was closed, (Sunday and Monday,) and we didn’t get Bob’s favorite lemon cake at Fig & Barrel, but we’ll be back! 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻
✨
Btw, Bob and I have been working on our photo pano skills and posing. 📸 #notthereyet 🤣
