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

[roxymama]

Woohoo congrats on the B party! That is awesome!

Hey I just realized that my corral doesn't say (women's only) on it. So it's not too late for you to sign up and try to join the B-party!

I would love to for the sake of that amazing C2C medal but I have finals the following week so not a good idea.

Finals? Ugh, I remember those. Ok, you get a pass.

They need to move the race to the next weekend then I can go

Some day soon I will get to the West Coast or maybe you'll run Dopey before that

WooHoo for Corral B!! That is so freakn' awesome!! You are going to have a sensational race!!!

 

[pixarmom]

Newsflash....I got a HM bib with only three digits which is kinda awesome! Although I didn't quite make it into A (2:04 or less is just too speedy for me!) I will be partying it up in B!

I'm super happy and excited and still very proud of myself. And turns out I didn't need to run my 15k so fast, but I'm sure glad I pushed myself anyways

Woo hoo!!!!! That's so exciting! When I ran the superheroes half with my son last year, I started in B with him and it was the best. (Although there were some HILARIOUS runners up in A doing crazy stuff and getting on the mike - I just love DL races!) Please know how super jealous I am of you and all the tink runners! I always do the "would have been in" for corrals when runDisney releases them for any race - and this is no exception. Someday . . .

I'm having a B party, a party for myself (and for @roxymama and @ZellyB)

I completely get that reference, and our boys often break out into a "Tex Richman" rap.

@pixarmom your boys sound like awesome kids

I don't know what this rap is...so now I must google it. Brb

Welp...my #1 seeded blackhawks got swept in the first round by smashville last night. So cancel my babysitter for Saturday hockey date with the hubby. I'm glad I'm so amped up about the Tink info dump yesterday or I'd be 98.74% more mopey about my hockey boys pooping the bed.
I probably should have flown @SarahDisney to the game since she was a good luck charm last time.
Oh well...now we'll get a ticket refund and I can totally use that on my rundisney shoes. So essentially the blackhawks just bought me haunted mansion shoes!

See y'all in a lil but after I wake up a lil more and go run around outside with my watch on backwards.

Sorry about your Blackhawks.

But your excellent use of percentages makes me happy.

Sorry about the tough loss- my BIL is a big fan also and he's taking it hard too. (But HM shoes will totally make you feel better!)

Go rock your run!! Happy Friday!

I probably should change from pajama pants into shorts soon or I may just become one with my couch. Eep. Ok I'll go run now.

 

[Anisum]

Well at least they bought you Haunted Mansion shoes as an apology for their loss.

I know right, it's the literal least they could do for denying me a chance at stadium nachos this weekend.

Maybe a little coffee??

Sorry about the loss. And that I wasn't watching. I was kinda busy having a heart attack watching the Rangers game. I tried to flip to the Blackhawks during commercials, but I could only do it for a few seconds at a time because I couldn't risk missing anything.

 

[FredtheDuck]

That Rangers game was a fun one to watch (neither team is my team, so just good hockey). I'm hoping tonight's Caps/Leafs game is a little less terrifying (and has a good outcome) for us Caps fans than the last two games. Yeeeesh. Surprised and sorry to see the Blackhawks swept, but glad you're getting some new shoes out of it, @roxymama.

 

[roxymama]

I steal stickers from my kiddo for blind runs. This one seemed appropriate. I did have to smash him down around the edges to stay on.
Sooooooo....

What the funion?
What the funnel cake?
What the fuglysweater?
What the full house?
My WU was a lil faster than 12:49 but that doesn't surprise me since I had fresh legs. I'm insanely surprised by those tempo miles. I was aiming for 9:39. The first mile felt like I was getting too fast off the gate and I did try to check myself as you'll see it worked with my second mile. Mile 1 & 2 of tempo was out and back. I wanted to get off the crackly sidewalks so I did mile 3 & 4 on the street inside my neighborhood turning every .25 miles.
And what the function?
What the fucillipasta?
I'm shook! (Do kids say that these days?)
My cool down felt easy.
I think I did 5 mile including warmup under my original "less than 50" shamrock Shuffle goal.

I feel ok right now.
What the flubber?

Ps it's 45 out. It wasn't windy. And it was shady. And I slept in. And I ate a leisurely nice breakfast and coffe and digested it. Maybe that helped?

And I wore my only clean long sleeve which was an XL from my first 5k and it's gotten a teeny bit baggy.

Good to know my booty is still big enough for it but my arms and tummy def have shrunk

Ok @DopeyBadger did you see this coming or are you just as "shook" as I am?

ETA: Ps can you tell I don't swear very much...I talk like Ned Flanders in real life too!
