 and.... the LiveJournal backdated posts are finished!!!!!

While my first official running event was Feb 2015 I didn't start really attempting to blog about it till April 2016 just after signing up for my first RunDisney event (also my first 10K) to hold myself accountable with training. And even still my first really flushed out race recap wasn't until November 2017's Wine and Dine 10K....

The Hot Chocolate 10K in a few weeks will be my 90TH event....

I don't know if in this new platform I will embark on more stream of conscious thoughts on running, training, rundisney costume prep or just do write ups on events... time will tell

A Short and Sweet Mayfair 2025 Update:

  If I had a nickel for everytime I ran a night race and it got cut due to weather issues I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s funny it happened twice… and that the only other night race I ever did was rescheduled due to  hurricane damaged and moved to a later date in which daylight savings wasn’t accounted for but that’s a whole other story… Anyway, my initial outfit pull was to be my starlake princess crowned and purple livi bottom however with the wet unpredictable weather I opted instead for my Springtime Surprise 10K shirt and black livi bottom I kept checking for updates and with the 4:30 PM “We are still good to go” email the most recent I headed to the start and arrived around 6:39… as I checked the weather it went from 40-50% thunderstorms to 40-50% rainy conditions so I took it as an okay sign as I lined up in the shoot. (it was 76 feels like 77 with 77% humidity otherwise) At 6:56 they sang the anthem and stated they weren’t pausing between waves but to n...

Summer Running Round Up 2025

I had all intents and purposes to make my Red White and Brew recap separate from my summer series run down but days went by then weeks and then I decided to just lump everything together so let’s get that one out of the way first. This year's event once more started and ended at a local brewery and honestly after two years I kind of like this newer set up vs running around the parking lot of a local shopping plaza. This year there was a day before pick up and so instead of arriving at 5:50 AM I got to sleep in a little and didn’t arrive until 6:21… I sat in the car for about 10 mins before walking over to the start area. My OOTD for this run was my Red Blogalaties Skort, Blue Sewn Shirt originally made for my Belle costume and my Powerful Hermana Crowned accessories as well as the Red gloves worn for my Scarlet Witch costume The weather that morning was 75 feels like 78 at the start. I didn’t take many notes for this or the Watermelon Series. I mainly noted my splits, weather, OODT...
