Author's Journey from Big Law to runDisney Inspiration
Author and runner Lisa DiNoto Glassner has written The runDisney Companion: Your Race Day Guide from Fantasy to Finish Line and Beyond, a book that aims to inspire readers to take on new challenges and pursue their passions. After graduating from Harvard Law School and practicing corporate law for years, Glassner made the decision to pivot towards a life centered around community, family, and running.
During her conversation with Mr. Daps on his podcast Daps Magic, Disney and Positive Stuff, Lisa emphasized that the book is not just about providing practical advice for navigating race weekends, but also about having the courage to start something new before knowing how the story ends. The book serves as a guide for both seasoned runners and first-timers, offering a combination of personal memoir, love letter to the runDisney community, and essential tips for registration, corral logistics, costume planning, and avoiding common beginner pitfalls.
The book officially releases on August 7th and can be pre-ordered on TheCastleRun.com. Lisa's journey and her new book are a testament to the transformative power of running and the importance of taking risks and pursuing one's passions. With its unique blend of inspiration, practical advice, and personal story, The runDisney Companion is sure to resonate with readers from all walks of life.
