Welcome to Tuesdays on the Run.
As the year is winding down, April from Run the Great Wide Somewhere, Erika from MCM Mama Runs and I thought that it would be fun to do a post highlighting the past year, just in pictures. Join us by linking up your end of the year wrap up post as well!
We look forward to kicking off 2015 with a bang- and guest hosts! Don’t forget to email one of us if you are interested in guest hosting the weekly link-up with us.
2014 Year in Review
My 2014 was filled, as usual, with runDisney events.
Here are the highlights.
January 2014: Tinker Bell 10K and Half marathon
Race recap for 10K here and half here.
February: Princess 5K, 10K, Half Marathon (Glass Slipper Challenge)
Catch up on all things Princess here.
March: Phoenix Half Marathon
We were moving into our new house right after this race, so I never quite got the recap written.
To sum up: it’s slightly downhill, they had fireworks at the begining (which I have come to expect ha ha ha) and GREAT crowd and finish line support.
I FULLY recommend this race to anyone looking for a PR and a good time.
August: Dumbo Dare Challenge
10K recap here and half recap here.
October: Esprit de She 5K and Surf City 10K
Recap for Esprit de She and Surf City 10.
November: Avengers 5K and Avengers Half Marathon
5K race recap here. Avengers half recap… errrr… next week? It could happen!
Looking forward to 2015. There’s some repeats on the schedule but I think a few new ones will be added in as well.
I am 99% sure I will not run the Dumbo Dare again (training in the summer in Arizona is INSANITY, y’all). But I’m ok with that since runDisney added new races at Disneyland to take it’s place. I’m pretty excited to run Star Wars next month and Avengers again next year.
Tell me about your 2014! Which race was your favorite or most memorable?

She knows every mile isn’t *always* magical- but with training, tips, and a little bit of pixie dust, they can be a lot of fun! You can also find her at noguiltlife.com and noguiltfangirl.com

I love all of your pictures! You are so creative with the costumes. Can't wait to see what fun races you run in 2015.

Girl, we need to race together again! If runDisney adds SW to WDW, I'm gonna insist you run it with me! We can dress as Ewoks. Or not. Great year and great pictures.

I love your costumes! So creative. The highlight of my race year was the Rock N Roll Seattle - my first marathon. It was such a joy to cross that finish line on a beautiful course with mountains in the background. I'm getting misty eyed just thinking about it. Hideous medal, but it may be my favorite because of all that went into earning it.

Such cute costumes. That is one great thing about the Disney races. Love dressing up. Congratulations on all your races!

Looks like a great year! Disney races look like so much fun! I would say my favorite race was when I ran the Oregon Half Marathon and PR'd.
