Priness 2011 — A first for Glenda and I
Our Disney journey started with the Princess Half Marathon on February 27, 2011. We did it on a whim, never thinking we would do it again. We had heard that people ran in costume. We went as far as tutus and ears…or for me Tinkerbell wings. I could not be one of the prinesses (to submissive). I chose Tink because she is naughty and subversive. I found out in short order that one does not run Disney for time, generally, but rather for the experience. For the record, my time was 3:35:31

The Inaugural Star Wars Weekend 2015
January 17, 2015 was our next Disney experience together. We ran the 10K (Glenda also ran the Half, but she has posted her costumes elsewhere). We were the droids you were lookng for, as they would look visiting Disney.

Dopey Weekend 2016
January 2016 was our first Dopey experience. Glenda did the whole challenge…I created the Doc challenge (5k and Half). As always the pictures are mine. Glenda had a few other costumes that are posted elsewhere.

Inaugural Disney Paris Half Marathon September 2016
When we learned that the first ever Disney Paris half was on September 25, 2016, we knew we had to be a part of it. You see that day was my 60th birthday. What better way to celebrate? So Glenda and I went to France and ran both the 5k and the Half together

Disney Princess Weekend February 2018
We took the whole family to Disney for this weekend. It was to be the first Disney 5k for some of them. Unfortunately my daughter couldn’t make the trip, but granddaughter Maeve and her Mom, Aurora had their first Disney Race experience in the 5k. Maeve and her sister Ellie, also ran the Mickey Mile (not pictured).

Disney World Marathon Weekend (aka Dopey weekend) January 10-13, 2019
Glenda and I went to Disney World so that Glenda could do the Dopey Challenge again I was to do the 5k and 10k. Unfortunately I developed a wicked sinus infection…so the 10k was all I managed, though Glenda completed her challenge.
