ATTQOTD yesterday: Umm.. Fairy Tale Challenge training by doing 6 weeks of long runs only and never a back to back comes to mind. that being said, I actually had two awesome races, but was so incredibly sore later. Really though, being inconsistent and then trying to pick up where I left off- it sets off my shin splints every time.

ATTQOTD: Princess 2017 (half) and 2018 (Fairy Tale Challenge.)

In 2008 I also did a Central Florida Kidney foundation 5k that was run through Epcot but not an official RunDisney race. They used to have a few of those a year.

ATTQOTD: 3.
Avengers 10K, PO fun run, and Enchanted 10K. I did float the idea that I would like to do another as I could do better now that I know how my body the races work, and it was not a hard no from DH. There was a request for an excel spreadsheet regarding such a trip schedule. I think if it included the above discussed beer mile and no children it would be approved.

ATTQOTD: Wow... I’m impressed with everyone’s long race lists! I’m a total rookie!
Princess Half 2017
(That’s it... for now... )

 

[Capang]

ATTQOTD: non YET but...
Castaway Cay for sure this summer
Wine and Dine 10k providing I can register...the process and what I hear from others is making me very nervous about registering.

Also, I feel like a slacker seeing some other lists here and *just* doing the 10k.

 

[SheHulk]

Argh, I may have just made my most recent stupid decision. I planned to do a 5k/10k double this past Sunday but decided to just do the 10k because of some tendinitis in my foot. But between the warm up job to the race (1.4 mi), the 10k, and the walk back after the race (1.4 mi), it was a total of around 9 miles. I don't know why I didn't Lyft before and after the race. And my foot has been swollen and painful yesterday and today. If it's not better by tomorrow, I'm going to go ahead and make an appointment with the doctor to make sure it's not something more serious then tendinitis. And I've already decided no running until the pain is completely gone.

ugh sorry

Don’t feel like a slacker! Be happy and proud of whatever race, run, distance you want to run!

Each person enjoys different things, and it is okay if you never want to run a longer distance.

FWIW, I believe sloooooowly is the way to go! I rushed the distance early on and suffered all sorts of issues. After I backed off and took my time to build distance, it got a lot easier and less painful.
