For the new Minnie Mouse medal race, the Inaugural Walt Disney World 10k, I dressed up as Minnie Mouse. I wore my Minnie INKnBURN skirt and sewed ribbons onto a black Under Armour tank. My visor is from Sparkle Athletic. The race started at 5:30am and was my second of four races for the Dopey Challenge. When the race started we ran a loop on the roads near Epcot. The first characters I found was Peter Pan and Wendy. While I was in line for them, they swapped out and I got Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. Around mile 3 we made our way into Epcot between Norway and China. I found Mushu there and I had to stop because my daughter loves the movie Mulan. Next I found my fellow INKnBURN ambassador Jill and stopped for a picture with Genie. She has her cute little baby bump in tow too! We exited Epcot and made our way to Boardwalk. Right by ESPN was football Goofy. We ran around the bay passing Yacht and Beach Club and than into the baskstage area of Epcot. Once back in Epcot I found Chip and Dale. I, of course, had to do the Spaceship Earth selfie. The race was fun and I love having the Inaugural Minnie Mouse Walt Disney World 10k medal. The crowd support at runDisney races is always so wonderful. After the race they had Donald, Daisy, Minnie Mouse and Pluto for photos. The lines were all very long, but Daisy’s was the shortest so I waited. My ankle started bothering me on this race, so I had it KT Taped for the half marathon tomorrow. If there is a ridiculous amount of typos I’m sorry. I’m writing this after running the half marathon and I’m slightly delirious 😉 Did you run the Walt Disney World 10k?
I won’t lie that a lot of the fun of a runDisney race is seeing so many people running in costume. Most of my costume ideas come from what my daughter wants me to wear. The best way to create a costume is pull up a picture of the character and work from there. For the runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon 2013 my daughter and I decided on Jessie from Toy Story. For the costume I needed a white shirt, so I hit the Target clearance rack and found a tech material golf shirt with a collar for only $5. I used fabric marker to color the yellow and red on and than I sewed big white buttons on to make it look more doll like. I was a little worried about the fabric pens bleeding on me when I would sweat during the run, so after I colored the shirt I let it dry for 24 hours and than washed it to get rid of excess ink. The colors faded slightly so I touched it up with the markers. They ran a little after I ran in the shirt, but not a ton and not all over me, so it worked great. Since Jessie wears a long sleeve shirt with big yellow cuffs I got white sparkle sleeves from Sparkle Athletic (#TeamSparkle) and used the fabric pens to color the cuffs. I also got the red visor from Sparkle Athletic to be a runner friendly version of Jessie’s red hat. I love their visors because it is also a sweatband. This pic above was taken after I wore them for the race. You can see that the color ran a little, but not to bad. Next I took a Sharpie marker and drew a cow print on my compression sleeves. Last but not least I needed jeans. Luckily INKnBURN makes “performance denim”. It looks like denim, but made out of tech material. I have both the capri pants and the skirt. I was debating on which one to wear. I decided to go with the run skirt since it was hot in Florida. Yes, that is also my breakfast of oatmeal in the pic above. I was eating while crafting 🙂 I am an ambassador for INKnBURN, so check them out and use the code emeliatoldme to get 15% off your first order!

The runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon is just around the corner. Most of us have started to taper, but have you thought about your running costume? Remember that you need to be able to RUN in the costume, so I always wear real running clothes and build my costume on top of that. For example, here is my Snow White costume I wore for the runDisney Princess Half. I got a blue tank top and just added the ribbons, collar and cape and paired it with a yellow Sparkle Athletic Skirt (Team Sparkle) that I wore right over my normal INKnBURN running shorts. Perfect, simple and no fuss while I’m running. Here is my Rapunzel costume that I wore to the Disneyland Half 2012. I bought a purple tank top and just quickly hand stitched some ribbon on the front and paired it with a purple Sparkle Athletic #TeamSparkle skirt that I wore over my running shorts. I pinned Pascal, the lizard, to my armband case. For the runDisney Tinker Bell Half Marathon 2013 I dressed as Tinker Bell of course. I got the wings and skirt from Sparkle Athletic again. They are always at the runDisney expos which makes them so great for last minute costumes too. I got a lime green tank top and I pinned puff balls to my shoes. I also have to say that another great thing about the Sparkle Athletic skirts is that I can wear them over anything like my running crops or my shorts. They are so light weight and don’t chafe because you are still wearing your normal running clothes. It is like a tutu, but way cuter and more flattering! I can also reuse these costumes or turn an old costume into a new idea. Here is my thought to reuse my Tinker Bell costume: Lime green tank, lime green skirt, big white circle, smaller black circle= Mike Wazowki If you don’t have time to finish a costume before the race you can always just add some sparkle to you running clothes. Swing by Sparkle Athletic (#TeamSparkle) in booth number 461 at the Disneyland Half Expo for a skirt of any color, wings, sparkle sleeves and more. The girls working the booth are always dressed in SUPER cute costumes too to help get you in the spirit. Since I am running the Dumbo Double Dare Challenge I have 2 costumes, one for each race. I won’t tell you what they are except that they involve one pink and one gunmetal Sparkle Athletic skirt. Any guesses? 🙂 For some great simple running costume ideas visit the Sparkle Athletic website running costume ideas. Follow Sparkle Athletic on social media at: Facebook is www.facebook.com/sparkleathletic Twitter: @sparkleathletic Instagram: @sparkleathletic I would love to hear some costume ideas or what costume you are wearing! I have ran many races in Sparkle Athletic skirts and I am a big fan. I have been given free product, but I have not been compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.
I ran the 2013 Space Coast Half Marathon in Cocoa, FL and had a blast! (no pun intended) This was my first time running Space Coast, but I had heard from everyone it is a must run. The race sold out in record time this year, partly because of the new medal series they introduced. At packet pickup they had a frame display of the next 5 year medals, plus the challenge medals. Packet pickup was at Running Zone, a running store in Melbourne, FL. My daughter of course made me take her pic with the astronaut. The shirt is a good looking long sleeve tech shirt. The half marathon started at 6:00am and the full marathon started at 6:30am. I was staying about an hour south, so I woke up at 3:45am in order to get ready and have plenty of time to drive up and find parking. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I found parking on a surface street not far from the starting line. On the drive up it had rained off and on the whole time, so I was slightly worried it would rain on us. Luckily it didn’t because I didn’t bring any rain gear for my ipod (or myself). The starting line was in the cute little downtown area of Cocoa. I believe there was 3,000 half marathon runners and 2,000 full marathon runners. The announcers were dressed in space suits which I thought was a cute touch. They had corrals set up by pace, but it was self governed and there was a ton of walkers in the 9 min mile section, so I’m not sure how effective it was. It was quite dark and not a lot of street lights along the beginning of the course. I was careful to watch my step and follow the crowds. The sun started to rise when I was at about mile 4. It was a pretty site because the storm clouds were still in the sky. The course is an out and back along a pretty little 2 lane road. There are lots of trees with hanging moss. One side of the street is lined with gorgeous houses. And the other side of the street is the river with the houses’ docks. Running from the starting line out to the turn around point I didn’t notice the wind very much, but once I made the turn and headed back the wind was against me and it was a little brutal at points, I’m not going to lie. Mile 11 is always a point in a half marathon where mentally I feel like I’ve made it. If you can make it to mile 11 than you can make it to 13.1 🙂 The finish line was in a beautiful riverfront park and the crowd support was amazing. Everyone handing out medals and towels were dressed in space suits and it was well decorated. At the finish line party there were booths set up handing out pizza, sodas and even beer! The medal is awesome! It is huge…like runDisney huge. It is definitely one of my favorites to date. After I ate a slice of pizza I hopped in the car to drive an hour south to where we were staying. It started raining like crazy on my way back, so I am very happy we avoided rain during the race. I wore my INKnBURN Brave Plaid skirt for the race, since the race was right after Thanksgiving I thought it would be festive to get in the Christmas spirit. When I got back to my family my daughter wanted a pic with me too, of course. The Space Coast Half Marathon will definitely be on my race calendar for 2014. I was told the race is always the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I loved the course, the people and the medal of course 😉 Have you ever ran Space Coast?
