What All Runners Need to Know About the runDisney Medical Team

February 16, 2018 By D Marie 4 Comments

runDisney Medical Team

After dozens and dozens of runDisney contests, it was my turn. Oh, I had attempted early on in the life of the franchise to volunteer as a medical volunteer, but the process was complicated and disjointed. In general, the runDisney volunteer process (for all positions) has greatly streamlined itself in the past couple of years. During the 2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, this princess turned physical therapist finally had the opportunity to trade in her running shoes for a stethoscope. Let me share what every runner should know about … [Read more...]

My Kingdom for a Comfortable Theme Park Shoe | A Floafers Review

January 4, 2018 By D Marie 13 Comments

make a wish at cinderella wishing well

**I received a pair of shoes to "test drive." All personal and professional opinions are completely my own, free of influence, and posted with full integrity. I could blame it on aging (hallux valgus), running (foot spread), or simply a lack of tolerance, but I have been SO challenged to find a comfortable theme park shoe this past decade.

How runDisney Saved My Butt. No, Really.

November 22, 2017 By D Marie 18 Comments

It's not all tutus, tiaras, and Trader Sam's. Over the past six years, the runDisney brand has been all that and more; camaraderie, sunsets over Cars Land and World Showcase, and many, many a celebratory dinner. See the world! The side effect (even if unintended) of same? Fitness. My physical therapist self kinda knew this all along, but to be honest it was a backdrop to the magic and medals in my timeline. Until now... The invisible side effect of my twenty half marathons and umpteen 5Ks? Core strength. My oh my, that came in … [Read more...]
