The Force was with Us: Our Experience Running the Star Wars Rival Run

Hello, you wonderful balls of sunshine! This week, we still have that Disney glow that you only get when you’ve visited the happiest place on earth.

In Disney news, the new Star Wars trailer dropped and gives fans plenty to think about. From new characters (including an adorable new droid) to Rey’s sweet ninja flips to Kylo’s pieced together mask, the trailer already looks better than the whole of the last movie. (Ow…burn.) Also, Disney finally gave more information about their new streaming service, Disney+. The price point and content have both of us saying, “Take our money now!”

Our main topic this week is the 2019 Star Wars Rival Run. We discuss our experience running the race, our fatigue with having to get up at 3 am for 2 days in a row, the busing, race expo, route, and pretty much anything else that you’d like to know. The high points of the race were definitely the lasers and character photos. The low was running past the sewage treatment plant and just running in general.  We also sprinkle in a few other hot tips about getting around Disney. If you’re thinking about running a 5K, 10K, half, or full marathon, we’d highly suggest trying a Disney one. We had so much fun! Just be sure to pack your extra pair of legs.
