By Donna Raskin Verified| Runner's World Verified Recently, I sucked. As soon as I started to run the 2024 New Balance 5th Avenue Mile in New York City, I lost my breath. I didn’t even make it through two blocks before I had to slow down, then watch the backs of other runners fade away. I spent so much time walking that I was reduced to nothing but my own worst thoughts: How embarrassed I was. How out of shape. How I have no friends, my life has no meaning, and my running is never going to improve. Did I spiral?
By Donna Raskin Verified| Runner's World Verified As part of runDisney’s 2025 Fairy Tale Challenge, I ran a 10K and half marathon on consecutive days. My strategy was to run the 10K conservatively so I could complete my first half the next day. I started in the last corral and, for most of the race, I was in the back of the pack, which, truth be told, is pretty much my sweet spot. Because my focus was on enjoying the experience and not rushing through the course, I noticed other runners in a way I hadn’t during my previous Disney races.
