For the most part we spent the time between the 5K and 10 Miler races laying low. We ventured out for lunch at the Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios, and went for quick spins on Star Tours and Toy Story Midway Mania (thank you FastPass+). After we got back to our hotel room I attempted […]
2014 Disney Happy Haunted 5K Trail Race Report
Neil and I decided to once again kick off our Tower of Terror race weekend with the Happy Haunted 5K Trail Race. To be perfectly honest I wasn’t sure I was going to make it to the start line of this race. I was sick and unable to eat anything for a couple of days […]

Between the Two Races
Between the 7:30 am 5K race and the 10:00 pm 10 Mile race I really wanted to focus on recovery and making sure I’d be ready for that late long run. After Neil and I crossed the finish line of the 5K we drank some Powerade, got our photo taken with Mickey Mouse, then headed […]

Tower of Terror 2013 – Changes Coming!
Last year Husband Neil and I had a blast at Disney World while we were there for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler race. We particularly loved the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
