Running at Disney

In 2024 I started signing up for Disney Races and let me tell you I got hooked! I said I would never run more than a 10k and now i'm making plans to train for a half marathon next year. My goal is to complete a Dopey Challenge in 2028. What makes it so addicting? #rundisney #disneyworld #disney

How to get into RUNNING 🏃🏽‍♀️💨
I would NOT have considered myself a runner earlier this year. I've always enjoyed sprinting but long distance running was never my thing or something I was good at. But I decided to sign up for a 10 mile race in the summer to challenge myself and by surprise I slowly began to love running!!
