Roxymama's 5k to Marathon, Time to Collect Another Castle

[sourire]

Why am I both excited and nervous about that 9:14 number.

You've got this roxymama!
Excited for you and this upcoming 10K!

If I can inspire just one person, I have served my purpose in life.

Cue the Bette milder music:

Did you ever know that your my heroooo?

Good question! Do 400 m recovery intervals between each running set. Pace of running interval can be walking or slow running like WU pace.

Don't worry about the pace on race day. I've got it covered.

I like the "don't worry about the pace" method

You've got this roxymama!
Excited for you and this upcoming 10K!

Thanks! Eep!

Right? My journal is basically like a mashup of "run fast" but "eat all the things."

"so, you wanna use me of are you just gonna sit on the couch some more?"

Oh I feel you on this one!!

I think I've come to terms with the possibility that I finish in 1:01 or 1:05 or 59:59 or 57:50 or who the heck even knows at this point. And that there are thousands of 10ks I can sign up for and try again. But until I cross that finish line...I going to be 100% positive I am subbing an hour this time. And I'll deal with the what next after, but not before.

OOOOOH I'm so excited for this!! My 10k PR is one of my favorite 'runner moments' like not as fun as my Disney running moments but definitely my proudest moment! It felt so good to get under that hour, and I'm so excited for you to SMASH IT! You are definitely in a great place to do it, good to mindful of the fact that sometimes race day doesn't show your full potential for various reasons but you have ever reason to feel 100% positive about this! YOU GOT THIS GIRL!

Also....

WE GO TO DISNEYWORLD THIS MONTH!!!

A+ Gif usage. I will give you a 100.0585% grade on those gifs (@ZellyB says the decimals make it more accurate)

I'm FREAKING OUT that we go to Disneyworld this month!

I got my Magic Express tags/stickers/whatever you call them in the mail a few days ago and just got the email that my magicbands are already on their way and should arrive this Friday!
I already did online check in because I'm excited.
According to MDE we get to put in our virtual order for Be Our Guest breakfast today...and I already think I know what I want, so I may just do it (because I'm excited.) I was thrilled to see you can order a gray stuff cupcake for breakfast! I'll be doing Expo that afternoon so gotta fuel up with tons of sugar right?
And then I PAID IN FULL for the vacation...BLARG, BLECH, GAG...so that part isn't as fun. But at least it's over with. Maybe mickey will magically fill my bank account back up?

*being a 12-year-old boy for a second* Pretty sure there's a fart joke to be made somewhere in there

I just ruined your thread, didn't I?

Quick, post a picture of a thing that I will likely want to buy! And all will be forgiven

I feel like the eating all the things is my favorite part of your journal.

GAH!!! SO SHINY AND PRETTY!!! I need it to be Christmas or New Years Eve for that!

Did you see these Too Faced cute things??? One looks like a little peach pie and the others like little peaches? I own the new matte peach foundation and love the smell. I don't have enough face for all the things I want.

Ok, then let's discuss which of these haunted mansion inspired desserts I need to get during Mickey's Halloween Party. All of them?

And also, has anyone had Be Our Guest breakfast and have recs on what is best to order?

 

[Ariel484]

^^ OMG to that entire post. Make-up and Haunted Mansion-themed baked goods yaaaasssss

Be Our Guest breakfast - I liked the open-faced bacon and egg sandwich

 

[Anisum]

I vote all of them but if you can't get all of them then the one of the wallpaper.

I've heard good things about Croissant Doughnut but I've never actually been for breakfast so I can't say for sure.

If they have Haunted Mansion makeup will you put a second mortgage on your home and just get all of it??

Even though I ended up in the moment not loving the way the New Balance HM shoes fit (for running) at Tink and passing on them, I'm willing to give them another shot at W&D expo if they are there (especially if they are on sale) for walking shoes because the little regret monster in my head has been bothering me about them. If they still don't feel right, I'll just drown my sorrows in desserts

I had the same thought about the wallpaper one! Looks like that one is available at Auntie Gravities Galactic Goodies. Anyone know if you can smuggle in food onto the People Mover? How amazing would that be?

Love the Epcot croissant donut! But it may be too sweet for me at breakfast (and at $24 I'd rather get more substantal stuff) but it sure does look tempting. I'm leaning heavily towards Ariel's suggestion because BRIE and BACON! mmmmmmmm

 

[ZellyB]

Clearly the answer to the Haunted Mansion treats are all of them. How can you even ask such a question?

Cows are lucky because they have multiple stomachs!! At least my Halloween costume is stretchy!!

I've bought WAY too much make-up lately (I feel like once a year I take a look at what I have and decide to start all over - not a good habit) so I could actually pass on HM make-up.

I'm not sure if they still have the shoes at the expos, but I do know that at the last few expos when they were there they were BOGO half off! So jealous.
