Oh Archie! Haha I love how he just booked it to the couch-- that pup was on mission!!

Those Archie videos are awesome!! Especially the one where he's rolling all over the couch.

After every. Single. Bath.

Yet another puppy pic!

WOOK AT HIS WITTLE FACE!!

I'm sorry, I should not have made you guess! His name is Batman.
The puppy pictures are awesome!

Bad guess by me! Batman makes sense!

Your videos are adorable! My Chihuahua, Spock does the same thing after his bath, only in my bed! I have to make sure my bedroom door is shut before I let him out of the bathroom!

Oh no!! Not in the bed!

We have to close all of the doors upstairs, too. If we don't he'll run around insanely and go under the beds, eat Kleenex, etc. Sneaky pups!!

Puppies!

One photo bratty and one photo sleepy!


Someone doesn't like the next christmas decoration!

Oh yay!! Archie seems okay with the Christmas decor, but some Halloween stuff our neighbors had freaked him out.

I love sleepy dog pictures!! And CUPCAKES...what a lucky pup! Birthday?

I love at the end of the post-bath freakout video where he's like, "What? I'm not doing anything."

Yeah, he's like "why are you recording this? I do this every time!"

I want to share my puppy! Wait... something's not right. Hmm...

that is quite a scandalous posture from your cat! I love cats too - yours is beautiful, I love the grey coat! We were THISCLOSE to getting a cat recently, but sadly it didn't work out.

I want to play. Not puppies but here they are at fort wilderness.

I refer to all dogs as "puppies"...so they are puppies in my mind. Archie is 7 and he is still a puppy to me! Is this pic at Fort Wilderness? I love your dogs, they are beautiful!!

Well I will have to add a puppy pic too, of Miss Posey.

YAY!! Always room for a fellow beagle!

This is officially the happiest thread ever!

Right! Should I even talk about running anymore?? I was gonna post about my possible outfits for January but now I feel like we should just keep posting dog and cat photos/videos.

Um, love the puppy talk, but we also need running outfit talk as well. It's not an either/or choice!

2017 Marathon Weekend - Outfits (??)

I am having trouble deciding what to wear for these races!!!

So far, I have just one outfit completely decided. I have one half-decided. I'm not sure about the other two!

My dilemma is for a good reason - my ambassadorship with INKnBURN was extended for another term so I feel like I need to wait a bit to see if some items make their way to me before January, since part of being an ambassador is making an effort to wear currently available products. A good "problem" to have!

Also, I'm not sure what the weather will be like for the races. Current WDW weather looks a little warm for running, so right now I'm going with the assumption that it'll be warm in January, too. But I'll be bringing cold-weather options, of course, since I know things can change.

So, with that said...here is the one outfit I am definitively decided on (everything from INKnBURN, of course):

2017 Walt Disney World 5K or 10K...?
Bandit Camisole - older item that is no longer made and one of my favorites:

Paired with the Kimono Skirt, which I wore for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon:

I'll also be bringing my Miko arm sleeves (which I wore for part of the Tink 10K) in case it's chilly out.

Along with some kind of SweatyBand. I'm not sure which race I'll use this outfit for, yet, but it'll definitely be the 5K or 10K. The reason being that I need to wear a bra with black straps with this top (to match the thin black straps). I use the Incredible bra by Victoria’s Secret and when I recently went back to buy bras with black straps (none of my older ones had them), there had been some sort of re-design where they added extra fabric to the straps. Now if I do a longer run with these bras, I get chafing on the front of my left shoulder...SO ANNOYING!! So yeah – because bras are annoying, this outfit needs to be for one of the shorter races.

2017 Walt Disney World Marathon
I mostly decided on this outfit months ago...really just the top. I'm undecided on the skirt right now...

The top is the Run or Tie Die Singlet. I never really understood the appeal of these Run or Die designs until recently - to me, after the year that I have had, Run or Die signifies just getting back out there and doing what needs to be done. Put up or shut up. Also...not running in the beginning of this year was really hard for me (in case you didn't know! ). Not like I was dying, but I certainly didn't feel like myself. It was basically the one thing I really wanted to be doing, but I couldn't.

So just like the Phoenix top was meaningful for my first race weekend post-injury at Tink, this top is meaningful for the marathon/last leg of Dopey. Put up or shut up. Do what needs to be done. Run or Die.

Also, I just really like the colorful Tie Dye. The skull isn't very Disney, but whatever.

I have 2 options for the skirt...first up is the Zen skirt:

And second is the Lucky Charm skirt, which was a special order earlier this year for St. Patrick's Day:

I think I'm leaning more toward Lucky Charm - it's one of my favorite pieces, being a wee Irish lass. But I know Zen looks good too, and Zen has Mr. A's vote.

Hmmm....

With the way the forecasts are looking now (warm), and my lack of speed, I'll be on that course for awhile and likely finishing after noon...so I'm not thinking I'll need sleeves or anything, unless temperatures plummet. I'm planning on bringing different headbands and visors so that I have options...really planning on bringing most of my running wardrobe. Always be prepared!!!

[Ariel484]

We can help you decide!!

Well???

 

[ZellyB]

Well???

Love Bandit with the Kimono skirt. Great combo. And I also love the idea of the Run or Die shirt for the marathon. Perfect execution of the theme behind the shirt. I actually like it with Lucky Charm better. (Sorry, Mr. A.) Love that it's a salute to the Irish Lass in you and I like the way it picks up the green in the shirt.

 

[DopeyBadger]

I like the zen with the marathon top (sweet tank, btw!) because the color scheme is similar and the pattern on the zen closer resembles that of the top. But I am by no means a fashion guru.

 

[roxymama]

I like the Zen better from that picture....but after creepily stalking your instagram to go shopping in your closet for you...edited to change my mind and I'm back on the Zen. But to be completely annoying...what about the black unicorn skirt with the tie-dye??? Just throwing that out there to mess you up!

Although having that black one on standby for any possible future releases is a good bet too, since it really goes with almost everything.

 

[dis_or_dat]

Love your first outfit! I agree that the Zen skirt looks better with the Run or Die top.

Late to the puppy party, but here's my big guy. Got him from the shelter when he was just 8 weeks old and my how he's grown.

Have a smaller gal too, but she's not as photogenic. She's cute in my eyes though!

 

[cavepig]

If you want votes I think zen with marathon top. The plaid conflicts with the the tye dye too much maybe, but a "lucky" skirt might be just the thing for the marathon. The tye dye will look sharp in photos!

 

[pixarmom]

I love the lucky charm, but would go with the zen for that top. I would also love to post puppy photos, but it would take me too long to decide which one and then I'd spend too much time looking at photos of our puppy! Can you make use of the lucky charm for another outfit?

 

[bananabean]

I have 2 options for the skirt...first up is the Zen skirt:

I vote Zen!

that is quite a scandalous posture from your cat! I love cats too - yours is beautiful, I love the grey coat! We were THISCLOSE to getting a cat recently, but sadly it didn't work out.

It's his manspreading pose. Boys. What can you do? I'm sorry getting a cat didn't work out, but you've always got your crazy pup to entertain and love you!!

I refer to all dogs as "puppies"...so they are puppies in my mind. Archie is 7 and he is still a puppy to me! Is this pic at Fort Wilderness? I love your dogs, they are beautiful!!

All dogs are puppies. Always! Even if they're giant adult mastiff. Puppy!

Yep that was fort wilderness just a few weeks ago. Mallory loves the fort. With her in the cart, I have to bring her with on vacation. I posted lots of dog pics on the camping board. We actually have a group running in Jan, so there will be a few of us at the fort.

Love all the things you post. Gotten many ideas for new things. I even buy InB. Glad you are back. I don't post much maybe I should. Like the fact that I am doing 14 miles this weekend and it is cold here, can't imagine how Cleveland will be (I can, grew up in suburbs of Chicago).

 

[SarahDisney]

I love the 5K/10K outfit ... that Bandit Camisole is beautiful!

I have to admit, I also never really got the "Run or Die" thing, but ... I like that it has a symbolic meaning to you. It really has been a difficult year for you (in terms of the running, at least), and I think it's awesome that you've found a shirt that symbolizes your journey!

In terms of the skirt ... I like the Zen. They're both cute, but I think the pattern on the Zen works a little better than the Lucky Charm one. But if you think you'll need a "Lucky Charm" for the marathon, you can definitely go with that option!

 

[disneydaydreamer33]

Great outfits so far! The bandit camisole with the kimono skirt is beautiful! And rock on with your run or die theme! I think that's perfect- you have become quite the runDisney bad a** so it's a great symbol to your running year My vote is zen as well, but both will look great!

 

[Sailormoon2]

because bras are annoying, this outfit needs to be for one of the shorter races.

This so frequently dictates my outfit, I can't even count the amount of times. I totally hear ya! Run or Die with the Zen skirt is my vote!

 

[girliea]

My dilemma is for a good reason - my ambassadorship with INKnBURN was extended for another term

YEAH for you! I was wondering if it had when I saw they had recently chosen-I can't think of a better InB ambassador!

Bandit Camisole - older item that is no longer made and one of my favorites:

Paired with the Kimono Skirt, which I wore for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon:

I'll also be bringing my Miko arm sleeves (which I wore for part of the Tink 10K) in case it's chilly out.

I love Bandit-am on an ISO list now and one came up...holding my breath until 7 tonite!

I think I'm leaning more toward Lucky Charm - it's one of my favorite pieces, being a wee Irish lass. But I know Zen looks good too, and Zen has Mr. A's vote.

Hmmm....

Oh, I love irish things- but I kinda like the zen better too. Whichever you decide will of course look amazing!

 

[pixarmom]

Working on a Christmas photo project, saw this and thought I'd add our puppy too! Back to the running skirt, I voted for zen to match the top, but I'd really like the lucky charm skirt. Is it still available?
