Yesterday, I registered for my third runDisney race which will be held at the Happiest Place on Earth! In September, I’ll be going from Coast to Coast (pun intended) for the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend presented by Cigna! I will also be running the Dumbo Double Dare challenge! Did I mention it’s the 10th Anniversary of the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend? *insert scream here* This is seriously a dream come true! My sister lives in Cali so I figured this would be the perfect time to share with her about runDisney. She’s excited and preparing for her first Disney race with me in 2016, so you know that I’m one happy sister! I can’t believe this is all one month after returning from my Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. You can read my recaps for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 (Part 4 will post this week). Registration for the 2016 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend opens April 28, 2015! Make sure you sign up for an email reminder.
I’m back on my Weight Watchers plan and I have been consistent with snacking and tracking. I love finding healthier foods and snacks! I found a new flavor of Sensible Portion’s Veggie Straws in cheddar flavor. You can cut the serving in half and still have plenty of straws for your meal or snack. I also found these whole wheat Smart Pockets by Toufayan which I really love. These smart pockets are the “new” pita and they are a healthy option for perfect “pita” sandwiches! Just stuff it with all of your favorite fixings and enjoy!
It’s important that I stay on track. I’m back in the gym so I can cross train and get stronger. I’m approaching strength training from a whole new perspective. Strength training took the back seat during my marathon training (that’s another post) but it’s back to stay.
I also just found out that I received a complimentary entry to one of my favorite races, Mercedes Half Marathon! That means I have to keep my diet and my workouts in check. I’ll be using run walk run (Galloway) especially since I’ve been taking it easy for the past few weeks. I’m excited I’ll have my HB along for his first Mercedes Half. This will also be the third anniversary of my first half marathon so this race is very special to me. You can register here. Registration closes on February 16th!
Feel free to share some of your favorite healthy snacks below!

This is all so impressive! Good for you and good luck! I am a cyclist and can’t even run a mile so the thought of a half marathon-oh my! And Disneyland-what a fun place to do it!

Congratulations!! I am absolutely planning on running during one of the Disney runs, I am a terrible runner but still it’s an accomplishment.
Nicole, there’s NO SUCH thing as terrible runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you go. Just put one foot in front the other and keep moving! Jeff Galloway’s run walk run helped me tremendously when training for my half and full marathons! If I can do it, you can do it too! Thank you!
This looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing. You seem to be doing really well.
I want to do a Disney run SO bad. They all sound like SO much fun! Good luck on Weight Watchers- I did it years ago with success :)
Thank you, AJ!
