I've been wanting to race in a Disney Half for a long time but I wondered if it was worth the ticket price. The cost of the 2020 WDW half marathon was $188 and included a long-sleeved tech shirt, finisher medal, and "access to a Family Reunion area with live...
What to Wear Running in the Winter
I love running when it's cold outside. But, every year, I go through the same scenario. I look at my closet and open my drawers and can't figure out what to wear! This year was particularly challenging. It went from 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter...
