Spring Forward and Fall Back: Q1 Run Log

-

 


So far 2021 has been more of the same thing with virtual virtual virtual…

Thankfully we are almost over that hump however here is the run down of what has been going on since my last posting…

First and foremost I FINALLY have the photos of my Rock and Roll medals on my camera roll….





Oh and also...sometime in February I finally got that training tank I was supposed to get a year later… it wasn’t a running tank but still definitely wasn’t expecting that

Now to go month to month

JANUARY MARATHON A MONTH 7:03:07

February was supposed to be the Gasparilla Distance Classic however as stated it was bumped to May and then made a virtual event {Though the Expo is still happening and if you want to run your virtual on Bayshore the roads will be closed as if the race were live and you can run at your own discretion..} I will be running my virtual in my neighborhood a few weekends later due to getting my second vaccine the morning of the expo and either taking that time or taking the time had when I did a course test run over easter (whatever is the best challenge time honestly)

FEBRUARY MARATHON A MONTH 7:07:05 (26.36 Miles)

In March I did America’s Shamrock Virtual 8K For St Judes and got some fun swag for that one (a Ball Cap/Hoodie/ and of course a medal

OOTD was my Livi Skort, 2018 RunDisney Every Miles Magic Headband and my RunDisney Disgust Top

My time was 1:28:25 with a pace of 17’47




Also in March There was a Run The Edge Hollywood Streaker Challenge…. While I didn’t earn any virtual badges for running a streak of says in a row as of posting this blog post I’m on a 63 day streak of moving 10,000 steps or more in a day

March Marathon a Month 8:00:41

As of this Post my Run The Year tally is 526.81 miles moved in 2021 (last year by comparison I was five days away from making 700 miles)


UPCOMING RACES:
Womans Virtual Spring 10K April 10th or 17th depending on how I’m feeling after my first Vaccine
Virtual Promise Run 5K April 24th
Virtual Stella Solstice (Gaspirilla) will run belated on Memorial Day Weekend and will take that time or the time I ran in training over easter weekend as my official time
RunDisney Virtual Short 5K Lion King Series
Probably Summer Sunrise Watermelon 5K series just to do something live even though they are just doing a challenge medal not individual finisher medals probably to cut costs/contact
Possibly Also Aching Quad (if I want to spend the Saturday of my birthday dedicated to running) & Lake To Lake 10K (though that has a HARD pace requirement and I’d need to get my pace back down to pre pandemic time)



PRS—1M {15:26} 3K {30:59} 5K {42.46} 8K {1:13:59} 10K {1:42:52} 15K {2:19:09} HALF {3:48:35*} FULL {7:08:15*} *virtual half/full run in increments

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 ...
