I am not a runner…at all…but that didn’t stop me from joining friends in my first runDisney marathon weekend!

And I mean it, from looking around and seeing where you are running, to just feeling that extra pixie dust. It’s also magical! 🙂 So, why runDisney? I write this for novice runners but also for experienced runners because the races are truly for everyone. I just […]
