Thank you so much for posting all your videos. I watch them all the time for encouragement. I'm running my first race in 10 years (I was in a car wreck and was in a wheelchair for several years) and I watch all your videos for encouragement. Thank you for what you do!!
I was the same, trying to get out of running as a kid in school 😋 can’t wait to be a runDisney newbie next year at Princess! The Magic Kingdom Gate and the castle look so awesome to run through. I tear up just watching these recaps knowing it will be me soon. These vlogs give me so much to look forward to, thank you for sharing!
Amy Markham your comment has truly made my day! I was in your exact shoes almost 3 years ago- watching these types of vlogs and race recaps and longing for the day I could run through the Magic Kingdom gates and to the castle. I still tear up when I see it all. It all was so impossible just a few years ago but, like Fairy Godmother says, “even miracles take a little time”. I’m so excited that you’ll be joining the RunDisney family next year. It really is one of the best gifts.
I used to watch so many recap videos when I was just dreaming of running Disney races...and I STILL get choked up watching them, even though I've now participated in 3 runDisney race weekends lol!! This half was a really tough one for me, so I am SOOO looking forward to my own redemption race next year. As always, loved the video and hope to see you again soon!!
I’m looking forward to your redemption race too!! And it’s totally fine to get choked up at these videos- I still cry anytime I see people running up Main Street!
Once you RunDisney I'm not really sure you can stop. Looks like your Redemption was super sweet 🥰 Being sick during that weekend really gave me a whole new race perspective. It was definitely one that I never intended to have but gurl we can also say we've done a half marathon with the odds against us and still we persevered.
Ain't that the TRUTH! Congrats on persevering through your illness too- I've literally walked in those shoes. How about a redemption for you at Wine and Dine?
Great video! Congratulations again on a successful redemption race. Run Disney is so addictive and I can’t wait to do more. Hopefully my first 1/2 marathon.
Omg! I just found your channel, and love it. I ran the 5K princess run in Feburary of this year, with my granddaughter. My daughter ran the half marathon. I never thought that I could do it. I am 67 years old. I want to do the 10K or the half someday but don't know if I can. Watching you guys makes it look so eady but I know it is not. Congratulations on your race!
Girllll LOVE this!!!! This brings back so many memories and now Im dying even more to go back. And yayyyyyy Kristen Sandwich ❤ Love it and love you. It was AMAZING meeting you both. Hope to see you ladies at Wine and Dine 🥰
I can’t wait to start my running journey and meet you and fairytalerunner! You guys are some of my favorite runners! It looks like you had an awesome time! ❤️
Congratulations! Great accomplishment! I’m doing the fairy tale challenge next year (never ran a race before) and these videos make me even more excited!
Hooray!!! I’m so excited for you! You’re going to love the Princess races. Princess 2019 was my first RunDisney race weekend and well, we see where that’s landed me now. 😉 Get ready to be hooked!
Thanks for posting this! I really enjoyed watching it. (And OF COURSE Tara was from Georgia! As an Atlantan, that was one of my favorite parts.) We were there for the week preceding and my son and I got to cheer on my wife and daughters who did the Princess 5K before heading home. I ran the WDW Marathon this year (my first too) so I enjoyed a lot of the trek down memory lane! My son and I are doing the Star Wars races in April!
Congrats on your Marathon finish!! It was my first marathon too and what marathon it was. Thank you for cheering on the 5K! Now that I've been on the giving and receiving end of people's cheers I know how much it means to a runner to have a perfect stranger encouraging them. Best of luck in April!
Agreed!! Part of what I love about our little runDisney community- we can be stuck in the back or sailing through at the front but as long as it's with friends it's 100% the best time. Can't wait to run with you again!
Congratulations! This video makes me think that Princess weekend doesn't seem so bad after all 😇 (in a good way, I heard that it would be crowded and lots of walkers. But I only saw runners at least till Magic Kingdom in your video! Maybe I'll run this weekend one day)
There were a lot of walkers towards the back. This is definitely one of those races that you want to submit a proof of time for so you can get to a higher corral. Theresa and I didn't stop for a character until we got to MK (with the exception of the quick selfie in front of the gates of MK). Our mile through MK was a record breaking 26 minute pace. :) It only got congested towards the end when we were walking up the slop to the overpass heading into EPCOT for the finish. It's the same course that we ran for the WDW Half in January.
That was you?! I remember seeing you on the screen with Riley and hearing your talk! That was before I knew "running in makeup". LoL :) Haha, Aladdin is my favorite movie, and I LOVE Jafar....one of my favs! This was an awesome race, the weather was perfect! Congrats on your race. :) Kari
Lol! That was me! He interviewed me at the Expo and finish line of the marathon (hence the “perfect record” comment). Glad you remembered it was me! 😂😂😂
Thank you for recording and posting your race recap. I love watching and remembering all the fun things on course and the experience of running through the castle. I know I saw you early on in the race, I remember that it was dark. I have another half coming up and I know it won't be as fun as running this one was. One thing I really want to know was how long the line was for the Cinderella picture? I wanted to stop but the line was so long.
Rochelle Hoffman the line really wasn’t as long as it looked. It moved really fast. We were stopped for about 5 minutes total. Good luck on your upcoming race!!!
Glad I found this! I plan on participating in the Princess 10K in 2021. Thanks for sharing your adventure! Just subscribed and I look forward to seeing more!
Awesome video. Learned a lot this year (don’t fly out the day of the race) and very different from runDisneyLand. I hope to PR in fun next year. Y’all are so great.
Yes. They will post your pics by using your bib number. There’s also a separate case member who will take pics with your phone as well. The whole process moves really quickly.
My love, I shall try to arrange it. Although, I may have to facetime in for Star Wars....or you can just call me and I'll give you a pre-race pep talk. :)
Congrats! That's a great feeling isn't it?! For this race we did a 1 minute run to a 1 minute walk. Splints is working with a knee injury and that is about all she could handle. Onward I'm working on decreasing the walks and increasing the run. So far I'm feeling really comfortable at a 2 minute run/45 second walk.
This was fantastic; perhaps the most enjoyable vid you have made. You are perfect for interviews: Cute Intelligent Interesting story to tell - and can tell it pithily ....and a smile to warm anyone's heart on a cold morning! No wonder you are always picked out at random (sic) (Guest appearance by Gerald R + Jen S excellent - for a moment I thought Theresa was Heather J) How great that folks were so delighted to see you, I don't think you (and Theresa) appreciate the effect you have on your audience - LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE "HELLO DISNEY! ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND ROLL...? I CANT HEAR YOU!.. ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND ROLL?!?!" I have the Bath Half Marathon this coming (15th) Sunday. This is a big event. 12000 competitors Tens of 1000s of spectators Closed roads around the historic city of Bath Friendly competition with another old bloke from the gym Both of us in the good for age corral near the front I am - for once - excited about something. I have been training specifically for it over the past few weeks. I don't know if there will be a London Marathon this year because of the Covid 19 (coronavirus) the Bath Half has come in the nick of time before the cancellations/postponements begin! You've been redempted! Well done to you.... and well done to Theresa also - of course. What is next on your running to-do list?
Thank you! And you’re correct- I still don’t understand the reach or effect I have on people. I don’t know that I ever will. That being said, I’m honored and humbled that people give me the time of day by watching these videos. I know at the meetups I’ve stayed until everyone that wants to say hello has had a chance to. I don’t ever want to get “too big for my britches” (do you have that phrase in the UK?). I’m just a normal person who happens to have a small creative bone in my body and maybe should have been in broadcasting in some way. Best of luck in Bath. I was just looking through my pictures from when i visited there 5 years ago. It would be amazing to run through. Hope you edge out your friendly competition. You’ll have to let me know how it goes. Race forecast for me? Stay tuned. It’s exciting to say the least. 😉
@@RunningInMakeup Yes we have "too big for your britches" over here! Tho in the factory canteens and pubs I have frequented that is replaced with words more abrupt and less suitable for a family audience! I'm Intrigued by what your future running plans are! Happy days.
This started auto playing after today's video and I'm frocking about to loose it on the bike at the gym 😭😭😭😭 How was this only 116 days ago? I'm so over living the C-word life
I told you I would give my comparison. I can say I like the video better. I might say the ride was better if I had children to ride it with but I don’t.
Thank you so much for posting all your videos. I watch them all the time for encouragement. I'm running my first race in 10 years (I was in a car wreck and was in a wheelchair for several years) and I watch all your videos for encouragement. Thank you for what you do!!
Thank you for watching!! I'm so proud you're back to running after your accident! Hope to see you at a rundisney start line one day!
I was the same, trying to get out of running as a kid in school 😋 can’t wait to be a runDisney newbie next year at Princess! The Magic Kingdom Gate and the castle look so awesome to run through.

It’s my first time to princess half
Loved watching your video. Awesome running friends make your experience even more magical!! Dad and I are so proud of you ❣️
Thanks! Hope you caught that glimpse of Casey’s!
RunningInMakeup We sure did. Dad said “She got a picture of Casey’s Corner.” Just wish we had been there again to see you.
I used to watch so many recap videos when I was just dreaming of running Disney races...and I STILL get choked up watching them, even though I've now participated in 3 runDisney race weekends lol!! This half was a really tough one for me, so I am SOOO looking forward to my own redemption race next year. As always, loved the video and hope to see you again soon!!
I’m looking forward to your redemption race too!!
And it’s totally fine to get choked up at these videos- I still cry anytime I see people running up Main Street!
Soooo I'm guessing with the line ups for characters...this isn't a race for a PB? hahaha this is my kind of half marathon!
Once you RunDisney I'm not really sure you can stop. Looks like your Redemption was super sweet 🥰
Being sick during that weekend really gave me a whole new race perspective. It was definitely one that I never intended to have but gurl we can also say we've done a half marathon with the odds against us and still we persevered.

@@RunningInMakeup LOL, I love it! Plus Wine and Dine is special to me cause it was my first. And that after-party is the best way to celebrate 😏🍾
I love me some Kristen baked potatoes!!! Oh hey me at 18:57...I told you I was so nervous and excited to meet y’all!
Omg I loved it!!! And you!!! Thank you for stopping to say hello!
Great video! Congratulations again on a successful redemption race. Run Disney is so addictive and I can’t wait to do more. Hopefully my first 1/2 marathon.
Disney Traveler yes!!!!! Hopefully a RunDisney half is in your future. I 100% support this decision. 😉
Omg love your video can't wait to do Princess run next year.
Yay!!!! I can’t wait for you to run it either!!! It’s an amazing experience!
Omg! I just found your channel, and love it. I ran the 5K princess run in Feburary of this year, with my granddaughter. My daughter ran the half marathon. I never thought that I could do it.

Congrats on your race as well!! You absolutely can do anything that you set your mind to and what better place to do that then at Disney! ❤️
Girllll LOVE this!!!! This brings back so many memories and now Im dying even more to go back. And yayyyyyy Kristen Sandwich ❤ Love it and love you. It was AMAZING meeting you both. Hope to see you ladies at Wine and Dine 🥰
Love you! Glad to have found you- you’re my kind of people! 😉
Finally catching up on videos. That is awesome that you were interviewed by Riley! Y'all looked great running together.
Thank you!!! I told Riley this was obviously our thing so we need to make it happen again at Wine and Dine. 😉
You both look beautiful! Great job!
Thank you so much!

I'm so glad you made your flight home- we were worried about you! Yes- PR in fun is a MUST!
I did princess half marathon today morning
Congrats!!!
New to this channel but loving it. See you at wine and dine!
I last month in February in 2022 I did princess half marathon is so cool
I had such a blast a Princess weekend! It really was magical. runDisney friends are the best friends. :)
That statement is 100% true!!!
This was a wonderful overview of the race!! Hoping 2021 Princess Half happens and it will be my first! Hope to see you there! ✌ -JoshFabDude
What a great first half marathon! See you there!!
Were there PhotoPass photographers with the characters?
Yes. They will post your pics by using your bib number. There’s also a separate case member who will take pics with your phone as well. The whole process moves really quickly.
I hope one day we meet during a RunDisney race or when I come to Texas to cross that state off my 50 state challenge
Yes! Me too!!
Would you mind giving the pre-race pep talk at the beginning of every race. It warmed my heart then and it warmed my heart now. Please and thank you.
My love, I shall try to arrange it. Although, I may have to facetime in for Star Wars....or you can just call me and I'll give you a pre-race pep talk. :)
@@RunningInMakeup done. Please expect a 3am FaceTime from me. We both will likely have no make up on, so we'll be fine.
If you don’t mind me asking, how long do you run and how long do you walk? I just got to where I can run 1 minute and walk 30 seconds!
Congrats! That's a great feeling isn't it?!
For this race we did a 1 minute run to a 1 minute walk. Splints is working with a knee injury and that is about all she could handle. Onward I'm working on decreasing the walks and increasing the run. So far I'm feeling really comfortable at a 2 minute run/45 second walk.

I have the Bath Half Marathon this coming (15th) Sunday. This is a big event.
12000 competitors
Tens of 1000s of spectators
Closed roads around the historic city of Bath
Friendly competition with another old bloke from the gym

Feels like a lifetime, doesn’t it??

Yay!! One vote for the video! :)
I'm actually looking forward to riding the Runaway Railway soon....I may like it better than my own video. We'll see.
Who else understood that they were Cinderella’s ripped pink dress
Not as many people as you’d think. 😉
