Nothing brings me back to normality more than a regular blogging series, and 2016 welcomes the return of FFF!
If you’re a new reader, every Friday I choose five of my favourite things of a certain topic, simple! Oh, and welcome!
I’m still reeling from my Disney trip, and with four RunDisney races under my belt, I’m choosing my favourite moments from those experiences!
1. The first time we entered Epcot on our first race
All of the races start outside of the parks, so that first step from backstage into the actual parks is pretty special. On our first race, the 5k, we race into Mexico on the World Showcase and the lake was lit all around with torches and all the countries were lit and it was just kinda surreal!
2. Running down Main Street USA
During the WDW half marathon, we got to run down the middle of Main Street, with crowds cheering us on as we headed towards the castle.
3. This selfie
If you read my post on the WDW half, you’ll know I really struggled with a chest infection the whole way round, so seeing this little guy and getting a hug and a selfie at the 7 mile mark was really helpful!
4. The Star Wars 10K
This was actually our favourite race; lame as it sounds, it was just all really good! We ran a good pace, it was a good course, we got to see a load of the parks, BB-8 was there..
5. The three medal finish line
Finishing the Star Wars half marathon sealed our completion of not only that race, but also Rebel Challenge AND Coast to Coast, meaning we received all 3 medals then and there. It was everything we had worked for and it was 100% worth it.
Have you ever run a Disney race? Would you?
great job!! I’m doing my first challenge at Princess weekend and I’m soooo nervous!
You really are amazing. I have asthma and other stupid health issues so I can’t run but this must be such an absolutely fantastic experience and you must be so proud to have those medals.
It’s an accomplishment in itself let alone at Disney!

After supporting my brother for the half marathon I’m very tempted to try and at least aim for a 5k!
