In this episode of Running on Pixie Dust, I’m recapping my full 2026 runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend—highs, lows, and all the details you didn’t ask for. I talk through everything from expo strategy (yes, the My Disney Experience virtual queue at 8:30 a.m. is still a sport) to the pop-ups, costumes, characters, and how I approached race weekend without chasing a PR. I was there to be a pretty pretty princess with my friend Alex, run/walk our intervals, and soak up the girly pop energy that makes Princess weekend my favorite. I also share some real-life stuff that impacted the weekend, including the loss of Jeff Galloway and how much his run-walk-run method influenced my running journey—especially getting me to the Dopey Challenge. On the running side, I break down the 10K (Moana bound, rainy start, plastic bags over shoes, and the coolest Polynesian drummers) and the half marathon (Rapunzel bound, lantern vibes early on, Magic Kingdom character stops, and my ongoing beef with miles 10–13 and those slanted on-ramps). Plus, I share why I’m officially a Huma gels girl and what’s next on my race calendar.
