A Pink Pixie Princess - Complete!

[ZellyB]

Great training week. You know I'm a fan of those shorter intervals, so I hope they work out for you. I think I've told you before though, it took my a very long time to really adapt to it, but once I did I learned to love them.
Those Harvey's bags are so cute. I especially love the Mrs. Potts one.

 

[TeeterTots]

Brrrrrr is right! This weather is crazy! Good on ya for running in it! I trained with intervals for PHM and I can't believe the difference it makes!

 

[roxymama]

Tink training! Congrats on week one in the bag. (And that's not a purse pun...unless you want it to be)

I hope they work too. I'm hoping to get to 1:30/0:30 or even 2:00/0:30 eventually! It’s been okay so far but I think I have a hard time gauging how fast to fun/walk for the intervals so that I don’t get tired toward the end…?


I think the bags are cute but can’t actually see myself using any of them, if that makes sense. Like, the Cogsworth one is perfect, but I wouldn’t buy/use it? I do like the Mrs. Potts one the best out of the 3 in that video, and I like that style of bag because you can use it crossbody or as a backpack (which is nice to have the option for giving my back a break). I’m anxious to see what else they come out with for Beauty and the Beast.

Yeah, I’m so over this weather! I’m trying to convince Mr. Ariel484 to move to Florida (close to Disney of course) and he’s not budging!

I pretty much have to do intervals now. They help so much!

Purse puns are always welcome here!

Woohoo for Tink Training!

I am excited to follow along as you try new intervals. I have been using 2:00/1:00, which was great for hm training. My next goal is to work on my 5K time, so I'm not sure what that means for intervals yet. Maybe no intervals?

 

[SarahDisney]

You're much smarter than me. I ran outside yesterday. 20 degrees, felt like single digits. But we're also expecting snow soon (aka tomorrow), and I wanted to get in the outdoor run while I could.
I'm glad Week 1 of Tink training went well!

I'm kinda with you on Beauty and the Beast. I'm super excited, but I also think it'll be weird to see this movie that I know so well (and love so much) basically recreated scene for scene as a live-action film. I'm hoping I like it, but ... we'll see.

I am totally winging it so far (LOL TINK PUN!). I haven't raced a 5K in approximately forever but when I did I remember running the whole thing except for brief walk breaks at each mile marker. But I guess it varies from person to person and is all about how you trained!

BLECH! I am operating under the assumption that we'll be snowed in and I'll be sticking to the treadmill. I am so ready to run outside on a regular basis again. I hope you don't get hit too badly with snow! Our prediction has been adjusted to 8-12"....... Which I know is not as bad as some other places...

I'm glad Week 1 of Tink training went well!

Me too! It's a relief.

Yeah, that was sort of how I felt when I saw The Lion King's stage show...which is dumb because obviously it would be different on stage. I think my other issue is that, from the trailers I have seen so far, I feel like I maybe won't love Emma Waton's portrayal of Belle. And it's weird to see her as Not Hermione...I still want to see the movie though! I haven't seen any of the other live-action remakes yet so I'm not sure what to think!

I just froze my credit card in a block of ice and buried it under my house and locked myself in a closet while repeating "save money for tink" over and over.

Aaaaand I ordered them with zero hesitation. I cannot adult as well as you can.

Honestly, if I was more sure of my size (which I'll be a little better with once my skirt comes on Tuesday!) I may have done the same. And I'm saving money to buy a ton of corn dogs...sooo...not sure about this whole adulting thing.
I cannot make any promises that I won't be hitting up URC though at some point.

Way to get back at it! It's always good to have another race lined up before you finish one so you are motivated to keep training afterwards!
I am in GA and it was 24 this morning - I bundled up and ran 5, I really really really hate the TM, like really - so I sucked it up and froze. I've got Dark Side in a month so I can't blow off my runs!
And I agree about B&B - of course we'll see it, and I'll reserve judgement until afterwards (but really, Ewan McGregor is Lumiere?) - but the animated one is such a classic that I'm worried it will be a big disappointment.

The sizing was hard for me to nail down, so I get that. I'm sure URC will get them.

Good for you for getting out there! I don't know how I was doing long runs in these kinds of temperatures a few weeks ago, it seems impossible now!

I will absolutely see BaTB. I'm still excited to see if even if I'm a little...wary, I guess? I should take your advice though and reserve judgement on it.

If reality hadn't hit me so hard lately (the need for new shoes + new laptop (soon) + still paying off the class I'm taking has made spending impossible), I would have ordered those mermaid capris. I love them so much. I almost ordered something last week from the 30% off sale (it was between the Pixels short sleeve shirt and one of the long-sleeve shirts (I don't remember which one I decided on in the end)). Plus, my running skirt company is having a sale and the skirts I like are $20 off. If I wasn't so afraid of my credit card right now, I would spend my entire life savings on running stuff.

Anyone want to rob a bank with me?

You are just surrounded by temptation!!

This made me laugh too much.

While we're talking clothes...did you get the InB mystery pack? Has it arrived? What is in it??

No boxes yet! I'm not expecting the boxes to ship for another 4-6 weeks. Did get this clue though:

"We did have to limit the mystery box because of a limited fabric supply for one of the pieces ;-)"

Hoping there's a jacket in the box!
