The Running Thread - 2018

Cool! What continents do you still need to do? A marathon in Antarctica sounds all sorts of crazy & amazing. I love these adventures people do since I'm far from doing them.

I have to make two more trips to finish this off, one to Australia (or New Zealand, I suppose) and one to South America and Antarctica. Thankfully, you can knock out South America and Antarctica at the same time because they run the marathons nearly back to back. I was on the list for the southern races a few years ago but had to pass due to work conflicts. I plan on signing up again soon.

ATTQOTD: I wish there were more 15ks or 10 milers because I really like those distances. Since there aren't many I'll also say halfs. Which is crazy since I used to say I didn't ever want to run even one of those.

Dopey here she comes!
 

ATTQOTD: Awesome question, I had to really think about it. I really enjoy racing 10ks. They require me to be smart but they don't take a massive toll on my body, and they still feel like a challenge. But I'm going to say half marathon for two reasons: 1) there are more of them and I'd be more inclined to travel for a half than a 10k and 2) I have to really work at training for a half, and that work is both challenging and good for me. My intimidation at the distance (still) keeps me motivated.

BQOTD: Salt. Popcorn (no butter, but plenty of popcorn salt) would be a food group for me if I let it. My pregnancy craving? Chips and Salsa.

Ok, I am going to have to go back on my answer to my own question. LOL. If given the choice between a Reese's and Disney popcorn, I would pick the popcorn. Every. Single. Time. I could eat that stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner when we are there.
 
Where is the shoe club at? New Disney Princess Toms were released and I think my DD needs them!

Gave these custom painted Toms to my wife after she ran the 2015 Disney HM post-baby. I designed them and then a Toms artist painted them for me. She loves Aristocats. She still wears them on special occasions and they've held up quite well.

These are awesome!

BTW, I still miss my runDisney shoes...
 
We buy cheezits from Costco in bulk because I have two addicts in my house.

I think the best cracker is one with good cheese on it.

@DopeyBadger I've never watched aristocrats all the way through!! I feel like I need to remedy that. Especially if it's a good enough movie to inspire those awesome shoes!
