    Random Memories: Money For Nothing

    ByLisa April 10, 2021April 10, 2021

    (Source Unknown) True Story: When I was really little I listened to this song (constantly) with my dad and asked him what chicks were. He told me they were a kind of bluejeans. I didn’t realize until like last year that that wasn’t what they were talking about.

    Just Two Things: One Mindset & One Act That Will, Together, Change Your Life

    ByLisa September 27, 2020September 28, 2020

    I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news. The bad news is that there are no silver bullets in life. No simple pre-paved paths from where you are right now to where you ought to be. But if you find yourself dissatisfied when your head hits the pillow at night. If you know in…

    On Burnout

    ByLisa March 9, 2020March 9, 2020

    I did some quick searches on burnout before starting to pound the keys on it with my own thoughts and quickly turned up that the World Health Organization somewhat recently laid out this definition of the word: “Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It…

    I Can’t Run Anymore

    ByLisa October 28, 2019October 28, 2019

    In late June, I went for a long run and my left foot felt suspiciously sore afterwards. I’d never had heel pain before and hoped it was a fluke. Two weeks later, it was feeling pretty good. And I sprinted a 5K on the 4th of July. Or, I should say, I sprinted about 2.9…

In honor of today’s costumes & gear episode, I thi In honor of today’s costumes & gear episode, I think it’s time I came clean and told you I’ve worn the same dress in like 8 different colors to a LOT of races. 

It comes with shorts that have pockets and built in support. And when they don’t have the color I need I buy the white one and dye it with @ritdye. 🌈 👗 

If ever an affiliate link was earned. 😂 thecastlerun.com/dress and my whole Amazon gear list is at thecastlerun.com/gear

Full episode is at thecastlerun.com/costumesandgear and I’ll share it in stories and bio to make life easier.
The first mile of runDisney’s Wine & Dine half got The first mile of runDisney’s Wine & Dine half got me so excited about the rest of the season. 🏃🏻‍♀️ I recapped the whole weekend (including 5k thoughts) on last week’s The Castle Run Podcast.
Did you run the W&D 5K? How did it go? Brief paus Did you run the W&D 5K? How did it go?

Brief pause in our trek through The runDisney Companion this week to spend a little time recapping Wine & Dine. I talk through the 10K and half and then spend a little time with my thoughts on the new 5k format and the changes that came with it. Would love to hear your thoughts too. 

But spoiler alert going in: not one person was swept at the 5K and not one course was cut short. You are all amazing. 🩵

How were your races?

A lot of you told me this was super helpful for Wi A lot of you told me this was super helpful for Wine & Dine, so I thought I’d share it out again as we round the bend toward marathon. A tool to help you see how your moving pace and your start time (as compared to the last wave’s) can interact on race day to determine how much time you have for characters and other stops along the way. 

All the common sense qualifiers apply: this doesn’t guarantee anything, Disney requires that everyone keep the 16 min/mile pace, and keeping moving makes for a better experience for everyone. And always listen to CMs and volunteers on and off the course. 

How this applies to the 5Ks will likely continue to develop, but for now I would use the last wave of your corral group rather than the last wave of the very last corral.

Don’t know what times to use? You can play with the same times from Marathon Weekend 2026 on my site. The calculator is at thecastlerun.com/cushion.
