Hi there and happy Monday to you! We returned home last night after running the Rock ‘n Roll New Orleans Marathon and I’m beat! Check back tomorrow for a full recap of the race! :0)
Today, I’m partnering with a fellow group of runDisney enthusiasts for a Blog Hop full of information on anything and everything you ever wanted to know about Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend! Click here to check out a list of informational posts all about this tiara and sparkle filled weekend!
Even though there’s no “official” runDisney meet-up this year, have no fear – several groups are planning meet-ups of their own! Check out the list below!
Please note, these are not ALL of the meet-ups happening throughout Princess Half Marathon weekend. If you’d like your meet-up added to this list, please email me at: kren2700@gmail.com and I’d be glad to do so! :0)

#runnerslove Princess Half Marathon Meet-up
Have you met another runner, or group of runners and you JUST CLICK, like you've known each other all your life? Are they your support system when you need an extra push or need to whine about rain or snow? Are they the first people who congratulate you on a PR? Well Kristy and I (Meg) would like to diagnose you with a case of #runnerslove. It's okay. It's not treatable with modern medicine but with more miles on the pavement and more time getting to know each other!
This is a great way to meet other runners and win fabulous prizes!
When: Friday, February 21, 2014
Where: Disney’s Polynesian Resort; Beach area
Time: 3:30 p.m.
