RunDisney Rocks

If you're a runner AND a Disney fan there is nothing better than a RunDisney weekend! I just spent 4 great days in Anaheim, CA with my Mom and RunDisney.

Need to catch up from the weekend?

- Tinker Bell Half Marathon - flashback

Congrats to all the over 17,000 runners! Were you one of them?

I headed out to California on Thursday to announce all parts of the DisneyLand Half Marathon weekend.  I was out at Disneyland last February for the Tinker Bell Half Marathon and I was very excited when RunDisney asked me to join this event too.

Friday am was spent in rehearsal, running, and a quick trip to the theme parks before the expo.

The new CarsLand just opened at Disney's California Adventure.  It was awesome AND packed! I'm talking a 2+ hour wait for the newest Cars ride.  I chose not to wait, but I'm hoping to see it on my next trip.

My mom and I checked out Cars land, rode the Little Mermaid ride, and ate lunch at the Garden Grill in Paradise Pier.  I'll have a WIAW themed Disney food post with all my weekend meals.

After "playing in the parks", I headed over to do some announcing at the expo.

I also visited with some of the sponsors.  As a runner, being at the expo is dangerous...I want to buy everything! I am heading home with some Nuun hydration, Clif bars, a new Raw Threads shirt, and some injinti toe socks.

At the expo I took time to look at this:

The 20th anniversary Disney Marathon medal.  It's AMAZING! I want one.  Bad.  It's a double spinner with 2 Walt Disney quotes.  Gives me goosebumps.

Friday night I attended the RunDisney VIP party at House of Blues and ran into Heather the blogger behind Running with Sass.  She picked up her Coast to Coast medal this weekend. Congrats girl!

Saturday was a 315am call time and all about the Cars Land 5k. Recap coming tomorrow.

If you're a runner do you buy things at the expo? Do you listen to the speakers?

Love and swag bags,
