Day 5: WDW Marathon!!

When you hear “Florida” what do you think of? I think of heat, humidity, palm trees, Miami by Will Smith and Dexter.  After the lightning and rain storm yesterday, cold weather came in fast and I’m still in shock! It was close to zero degrees Celsius and the wind chill was crazy. I knew it hadContinue reading “Day 5: WDW Marathon!!”

And of course when the flight attendants ask other peopleContinue reading “Day 1: getting to Orlando & the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo”

I didn’t have a race or anything specific like that to be super prepared for but tomorrow when I leaveContinue reading “Packing for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend!”
