In this way dailymile and I differ, but I just mentally make adjustments. How was it for you, running-wise? MOON: I experimented with my diet...

When we last left Jenn and Moon, they had just finished talking over their time at the Fit for a Princess Expo. Ready for the race recap proper? Let’s dive in… JENN: I don’t know about you, but I didn’t sleep super well the night before the Princess Half Marathon. I did that annoying thing I always do when...

Our runDisney obsession began with the – wait for it – MAGICAL adventure that was the 2013 Princess Half Marathon. And because we can’t relive it enough, we wanted to talk about the experience. We’ll be more timely about the next one, we promise! JENN: You ready to talk Princess Half Marathon 2013? MOON: Oui oui! JENN: Let’s start...
