One of my favorite aspects of my blog has been getting to know some great running bloggers. Labor Day Weekend I enjoyed following via social media along with many of my friends running the runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon and Dumbo Double Dare Challenge.
I love race recaps and thought I would feature some of my friends here so you could enjoy them too!
One race weekend. Five perspectives.
First up is DisBroad Patty. Her trip was a true family affair. Between the kids races, the 5k, the 10k and the Half…..her family was represented in each race – even Grandma!
Her weekend report is in 5 parts – yeah I know, but truly a fun filled family affair:

OH Amy…how do we make this happen…so worth running in the summer!
Yup – definitely want to do this next year!
Thanks for introducing me to some new blogs. I have been reading all these recaps since I am doing Dumbo next year!!
I agree Bonnie! I love these 5 gals so much….truly awesome ladies…met 3 out of 5 in real life…BUT I will meet the other 2 at a race…we already have plans!
I will admit, I don’t read race reports for races I’m not doing. Purely selfish, I’m so jealous!! But if I’m doing the race, I read race reports from previous years, it gets me excited and hyped up for what I have to look forward to!
Yep me too….Now I really want to go for this. Doubtful though…but a dream is a wish…
Aww, thanks for featuring me!! I’ll have more recap to come – TOO much fun to talk about!!!
Oh, and I wanted let you know that I nominated you ladies for The Liebster Award! Head over to my blog (www.thesmithsummary.com) to read all about it and “accept” it if you’re interested 🙂
Aw thanks Kristen! And you are welcome…loved following you around all weekend!
