I 'Promise' I'll blog better....

Okay...so I swear I thought that I made a thread for at least Promise Run but I guess not.

Anyway I flew solo for that race and was really close to getting a PR however after the first mile I pulled back my speed when walking down the brick paved side streets and when I tried to speed up again I felt a pain in my side and so decided better to finish uninjured then to break a record. After that the past two races I did were untimed and those were the Color Run which was a blast and I wouldn't mind not taking myself serious when it comes to pacing and running one again as well as Castaway Cay on my Disney Cruise last week. I have March of Dimes coming up on Saturday though since it doesn't have bibs I don't technically count it as a race...but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE LET ME WALK BETTER THEN A 20 MIN MILE!!!!!!!!!!! Two weeks later will be Mayfair and I need to brave the Florida humidity and my inconsistent schedule to do a few training runs before then to hope to PR or get close to it come May 14th. Beyond that like I said I've committed to the Wine and Dine 10K in November and I plan to commit to the Dark Side 5 and most likely also 10K at months end. As far as my Princess vs Gaspirilla issue goes I'm going to do the latter though I'm NOT going to commit to the Lime Cactus. IF I do end up picking the 8 or 15K and the option arises come January/Early February to convert to the challenge well I'll see how I feel but in the meantime I plan on doing just one of those distances or to stick with the 5K

I'll try and do a post Mayfair post as well as make Wine and Dine training reports all summer long

A Mardi Gras of Miles – Wine and Dine 2024

  So like with all RunDisney recaps I like to get the Run The Year progress report up first and unfortunately it’s not looking good. It will be nearly impossible to make it to 2024 miles this year…heck I don’t think I’ll even beat last year's mileage of 1896 (but I’m hoping to get close to that, fingers crossed) But it’s okay… I think I will double dip on my 2025 Challenge until I ‘Earn’ my medal and I’ll be content… Anyway as of today I’ve earned 1,486.81 miles and here are my badges to show for it…   And now onto the main event CHEERS TO FIFTEEN YEARS! Okay, so technically this is the 9th running of the 10K/Challenge portion of this event and the 8th time it’s been run in person at that, however it’s still a milestone year over all so it’s cause for celebration. Once again there was a VQ for the event and while last year we got our lowest pull yet this time we got our highest in group 68!!! I never marked the actual time we arrived at the venue however once we arrived we he...

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE (Springtime Surprise 2024)

It’s time once again to lace up our running shoes for another RunDisney adventure. And since I’m not doing a challenge and it hasn’t been months since my last race recap I’m not going to front load things with my Run The Year progress and instead will head right to the most Magical Running Series on Earth…. With the VQ situation we had it all planned out. I’d drive toward a location I knew was in the 45 mile range… watch the world clock and …. BANG… however Traffic had other plans and we were gifted with group number 58 the highest number I’ve gotten to date. The initial time quoted to shop was 11:31 and while we did monitor the time as it kept dipping back I didn’t take notes of each and every progress update so moving on. We were dropped off at the expo at 10:18 and made our way into the queue to get into Field House by 10:27. It was about a 10 min wait to get in and snag our bibs. B/B for me and C for my friend running the 5K with me. This time around the photo ops were moved from t...

In my Pirate Era (Gasparilla 2024)

Cheers to 10 years of participating in the Gasparilla distance classic (and doing running events in general) Of my 10 years this will be my 5th time running the 15k/8k challenge which is now onto its fourth name since participating… the Michelob Ultra Infusions Challenge  This year we were staying downtown at the official HOST hotel the Embassy Suites instead of the further away by the airport making race weekend activities a breeze. Just look at this picture I took that looks like a vintage postcard    We arrived at the expo just after 3pm again and after grabbing bib, shirts, and my challenge jacket. We wandered around the booths but there were lots of empty tables and the tables that did have giveaways you had to sign up for a mailing list (the one list I did sign up for I’ve already gotten a dozen unnecessary emails as all I want to know about is the running series they advertised) I did end up getting two bondi bands (because girl math 2 for $15 is better then 1 for ...
