Promise Run 2025

-


I feel this recap and some of the more local races will be very short and sweet from now on due to the way I am tracking things as I go.

Anyway, I’m still a perfect promiser though we will see what 2026 brings… will the event be held the weekend after Gasparilla once more or will it be moved due to Princess taking place a week later… and if not moved will I decide to RunDisney vs locally??? Only time will tell…

My OOTD was my Powerful Hermana Crowned Headband, Hair Tie and Flow tank as well as one of my Blue Livi Skorts





I never timestamped when I arrived or a weather check but ultimately I crossed the start at 8:35

During the first mile I had to tie my left shoe and adjust my safety pins on my bib as one popped off as well as took a bird pic

Just shy of reaching the 1 mile marker which I did in 18 ish minutes the winners as well as a few 10K stragglers were coming up the opposite side of the street

By the time I got to the brick stretch which took me roughly four minutes to bypass I had to take pause to tie my right shoe

There was the sole water stop though I didn’t stop as I had a half full bottle in hand so kept on trucking…

There was no mile 2 marker but my Garmin buzzed I had reached mile 2 in roughly 35 mins.

I took another bird pic before hitting up mile 3 in 54 mins and officially finishing in 55:35

The song I crossed to was Greatest Show from Greatest Showman if we are keeping any form of score.

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 ...
