About Me
Natalie's runDisney story began at Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2020 with her very first 10k. Suffice to say, she was hooked. This led to chasing many running dreams, including multiple Dopey Challenges, the Coast to Coast Challenge, and her first Chicago Marathon.
The podcast began as a space to tell stories, lift up those in the runDisney community, and laugh a little along the way.
