Castaway 5K at home.

[Kaijudad]

This may be a silly idea but it is for those who had their upcoming cruises canceled and were looking forward to running the 5K. I’ll be at home and I will still run the 5K at the time I would have done it. It won’t be at an island paradise, it will be in my basement on a treadmill but my mind will be there. I trained for it and will try to enjoy doing it while practicing social distancing and protecting myself and others. It’s my way of rewarding myself for the effort and to keep up the hope to do it with all of you that were planning on doing so hopefully soon.
Let me know of any ideas you may have. Run and report here. Time your run and tell all of us.
I will start on 03/22 at 8 am CST (9 am in castaway cay) if anyone wants to “join me”.

Have you seen the video that a couple made who had to cancel their cruise. They are wearing robes, sitting on their sofa with drinks in hand. They have their feet up with a video of ocean waves on their tv.(they even put a roll of toilet paper next to the tv). You could see if you could find a video that someone may have made as they ran the 5k or of a tour of CC. You could watch it as you run. Sorry about your cruise being cancelled.

Play some Disney music while having a picture of Castaway on your phone. Problem solved.

It's possible there are gopro type videos of the 5K, so you could watch that on a screen while doing your dreadmill run. Might be fun.

I read about the couch to 5K app that some people use to train for the CC 5K. I didnt have an upcoming DCL planned but I did have a med cruise planned on another line and though that this might be a fun variance to my fitness routine. I started on 2/29 and am about halfway through the program.

I will start on 03/22 at 8 am CST (9 am in castaway cay) if anyone wants to “join me”.

I usually do my training at night but will try to remember to join you Sunday morning. I am still in training so my time wont be great. LOL Thanks for the fun idea!

There is the Nike Run Club app where you can run with others.

If your treadmill has iFit access, that's another cool trainer.

I would have recommended Peloton tread, but you can afford a new DCL cruise for that amount, lol.

That is 6am my time, but I will be with you in spirit while sleeping (and run it later that day)!

“join me”

Well it was my first 5k since a foot operation in November, so my time was pretty rubbish, but here I am with my self-awarded Castaway Cay medal!

I did mine this morning. I did it in about 25 minutes, not including a warm up and cool down.
