In this episode of Running on Pixie Dust, I’m recapping RunDisney Princess Weekend—aka the weekend I ran the 5K, 10K, and the Half Marathon (Princess Challenge vibes). I’m super honest about why this episode is late (work has been wild, I needed a break), and I also start with my usual highs and lows: I love Princess Weekend because it’s “for the girls,” the community energy is unmatched, and yes… I was a PR princess. I also talk through the reality of stacking Princess right after Dopey training and why it can feel like you barely have time to recover before you’re right back at it. I give a full play-by-play: Expo strategy (virtual queue, bib pickup first, free sticker sheets, and why the merch didn’t tempt me this year), then race mornings and costumes (Ariel for the 5K, Maximus for the 10K). I share my biggest frustrations too—like the 10K medal debacle where they were “out” at the finish and we all panicked before medals finally showed up. For the half, I walk you through my mindset around chasing a sub-2:30 goal, trying a pace group for the first time, dealing with corral congestion, and how I adjusted when it wasn’t working for my stride and intervals.
