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

[ZellyB]

Slight change of plans for the week. I've shifted to Wed, Fri, Sun as my run days. Life happens and I'll be ready to go tonight. The nice thing is this weekend's weather forecast could mean I might be able to get both Fri & Sun runs outside!
Fri 58!
Sat 63!
Sun 61!

It's in the 30's right now. What???? Ok, but I'll take it.

No Tink medals announced yesterday (makes total sense as someone on the race thread pointed out that they wouldn't probably announce same day as marathon registration...but I sure wouldn't mind seeing them this week leading up to princess...gotta sell those pink coast to coasts right?)

I did not sign up for anything yesterday. I know how much you all believe in me and I know that's why you are leaving fab 5 and dwarves on my journal, because you believe I can do it. It's just probably not the year for me from a financial and vacation and ACK miles standpoint. I've already pushed it getting to do two disney/race vacays in 2017 (still don't know how I pulled that off.) If anything changes you all will be the first to know. Right now Tinkerbell is my Ironman or Olympics or Dopey or whatnot

Feel free to still leave random disney gifs and bouncy emojis. I don't mind.

PS (I really do want to run through all 4 parks one day)

And you WILL run through all 4 parks one day. Totally understand that sometimes life stops you from being able to do all the vacationing you'd like - happens to me all the time. Stupid vacation places that expect me to pay. I know you know the Dopey pressure is all in fun (not saying it wouldn't be great if you did it) and that you absolutely only need to do it when you feel ready for it.

Girl, you are going to kill Tinkerbell. I know you are focused on the half distance and being ready for it and that's the smart thing to do. I just have total faith that you are going to do so great and then you'll be ready down the road for that next step.

I know! Look at those temperatures! I'm so excited to run outside and not freeze!!!

Yes! This is hopefully us on our runs this weekend!

Tink is going to be so much fun. You will love it!!

I'M SO EXCITED! And I will have to try to recreate that Tink Gif if my legs still work post-race. She really is feeling herself. #tinkbooty

This gif also reminds me that I need to start thinking about a pom-pom on my shoes strategy.

She is feeling herself because her medals just came out! Are you 10000% more excited now?!

Spoiler: New Tink Medal!

 

[Ariel484]

You know I'm not really a Tink fan but I'm pretty excited for these!

Yeah, Tink fandom for me has always been more about her at the beginning of other movies dusting the castle with her wand and then flying around at the fireworks shows and less about her actual movie(s). I think we maybe have discussed this before, I can't remember? I do feel compelled to watch all Pan movies leading up to this to "study" up. Even though I have "Hook" memorized at this point. (though Julia Robert's Tink makes me uncomfortable when she tries to get all human sized for grown up Peter...weirds me out a bit)

I'm giddy and rambling again!

Agreed with everything in bold. No, Tink...just no.

It's SO cute!!!! I never run a race based on the medals, but this is adorable and would be the push I need to register!! Except it's mother's day and our older boys can't travel that weekend. So happy for you!

 

[ZellyB]

I hate that Hook movie. Massive fail on the casting of Tinkerbell. Julia Roberts? No - just no. (and I don't dislike Julia at all) but, I remember thinking at the time, you have Meg Ryan sitting out there and you pick Julia Roberts?? What even????

Anyway, Tinkerbell medals!!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

 

[Ariel484]

I hate that Hook movie.

WUT.

 

[Ariel484]

(I mean, I agree with the JR casting, buuuut....)

 

[ZellyB]

(I mean, I agree with the JR casting, buuuut....)

Sorry.

Like seriously hate it.

 

[roxymama]

I hate that Hook movie.

Don't anger Hook before our races!

Can we all agree though that a big picnic table full of weirdly colored whipped cream blobs would be freaking delicious?

And we all had crushes on Rufio when we were 10 years old right?

 

[Ariel484]

RUFIO! RUFIO!

RU

FI

OOHHHHH!

 

[roxymama]

I'll allow your Hook hate if you are ok with me thinking Pocohantas is soooooooo boooooooring.
(but I still love Meeko)

AHA!!! There might be the problem. Cause I was like 27 years old when that movie came out and me having a crush on Rufio would have just been creepy.

Confession

I've never seen Pocohantas and have no intention to see it.

Fun fact...John Smith was 28 and Pocohantas was 12!
