Royal Family 5K during Princess Half Marathon weekend

A few months ago, I told you about how I was preparing some costumes for the Princess Half Marathon in Orlando.  (Missed those blog posts?  Check out Wigs and ears, Cinderelly? Cinderelly!, and Cheshire Cat style.)

Soooo....I went a bit overboard on the costume for my 5K event.  Like Wigs and ears, overboard.  Did I mention I even made a Cheshire Cat smile out of craft foam...?

Transforming my home into a Mad Hatter Tea Party

I was recently telling you about how a super long time awhile back, I threw a Mad Hatter Tea Party.

It was the kookiest thing I've ever done.  My husband thought I was off. my. rocker.  (If I had a rocker, that is.)

Mad as a Hatter

So there's something I never told you guys.  I'm kinda half crazy.  You know, the kinda crazy that's kinda fun?  Yup, that's me.

Shopping at the Princess Half Marathon expo

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently participated in the Princess Half Marathon in Orlando (at Epcot/Walt Disney World).

The half marathon race itself was on Sunday, but it was a whole weekend full of activities. And it all started with the expo.

Princess Half Marathon weekend was crazy fun!

In my last few posts, I mentioned that I was getting prepared for the Princess Half Marathon in Orlando:

• Wigs and ears
• Cinderelly? Cinderelly!
• Cheshire Cat style

Aaaannnnddd then I kinda left you hangin'.

Wigs and ears

Remember when I told you about my Cheshire Cat costume for the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Royal Family 5K during Princess Half Marathon weekend?

If not, this picture should serve as a little reminder.  

Weeelllllll....I'm kinda taking it to the next level.  

Cinderelly? Cinderelly!

For those of you sick of hearing about running and races and costumes, sorry, but this blog post isn't for you.  For those of you who enjoy all the aforementioned things...read on!

Cheshire Cat style

Halloween is 1 of my least favorite holidays.  Call me a fuddy duddy, but I'm just not such a huge fan of dressing up in costume and being...someone else.

But I don't know...there's something about putting on fun clothes for a race. It kind of makes the whole thing feel less like strenuous exercise and more like 1 giant party. (Right?)

Packing for a race. . .

If you've ever read my Travel Adventures of a Desi Blonde site, then you know I love to go places.

I recently started mixing 1 of my old favorite things (travel) with 1 of my new favorite things (running).

Race review > Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon 2012

Sooo....I don't know if y'all remember, but I did the San Jose Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in October. (Ok, ok, it's all I've talked about lately.) At that time, I gave a review of the race (in case others are looking to do it and want to know how it was).

Then in December, I competed in the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon cause y'all know I love me some Vegas.  I've been kind of slow telling you guys about it (oopsie!), but I thought it might be a good idea to give a review of the Vegas race too. So here goes.
