Tinker Bell ½ Marathon Weekend ~ 2014 Check-in!

[kim3339]

So, I see the expo starts on Friday. Is it worth it to take the day off and get on up there?
I'd love the tinkerbell bags... but Hubby doesn't want to go up until Saturday.

Thoughts?

Are you talking about the Dooney and Bourke bags? If you are, then a big fat yes. And not only go Friday, but get there as soon as the expo opens. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the bags sold out in the morning, maybe w/in 3 hours. When the expo opened, they had people who wanted the bags go in a separate line just for them.

Hi everyone! We've been camping so I haven't run since Saturday. I'm getting ready to head out now for 2 miles then I'll do my long run on sunday. My September 10k is fast approaching and I'm starting to worry I won't be ready!
Love reading everyone's progress. Sounds like you're all doing great!

Went out this afternoon in near-80 degree weather (woot!), and got to do some galloway method whether I'd wanted to or not. I was forced to walk once my heart rate got above 185! It felt good, tho!

Tomorrow I'm doing obstacle run called dirty dash. Exercise good but I have to focus on nutrition lol

I did my "long" run this morning. 3.5 miles and I finished in 55 minutes using intervals. That's an average pace of just under 16 min/mile!!! I'm so proud of myself. Now I just need to focus on stamina and increasing speed. Right now I think about a half in January and say to myself "no problem!" 3 weeks ago I was thinking "no way jose!"

What a difference a few days makes!

Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!!!!

Great job!! That is what I find exciting about running. There are so many little goals that are set and met along the way that I am often surprised and pleased with myself. Keep up the great job!!

I just signed up for the 5k! I started the c5k program about a month ago and thought, what better 5k than a Disneyland 5k!!! My friend is coming along and we're staying at the Del Sol Inn. We'll arive Friday afternoon and be leaving Monday morning. So a quick girl's trip to Disneyland.

Maybe I'll do a 1/2 marathon someday, but I'm super excited about the 5k

 

[kirstie101]

Did my long run this morning, used intervals, 5 miles which is my longest so far! Wore my SPI belt for the first time. Had my iPhone in there and actually didn't notice I was wearing it until the run was almost over! I'm so glad the weather cooled down a bit though I think it's supposed to heat up again this week.

Cassie's mommy, I'm trying to get my sister to do the 5k this year. It would be do fun for her!

I love my spibelt too! It holds a ton of stuff.

When I train, I usually take one or both of my girls on my run with me. Well, putting the 7-year-old in the double jogging stroller was NOT a good idea. So, I went to the local REI this weekend, and found a used BOB for $120. (It's a single... only for the 3-year-old!) I also got a new pair of shoes ($200!!!!)... broke them in this weekend. We'll see how they do.
I didn't do any long runs this week... I was cross-training! Over 10 miles on the bike WHILE pulling the toddler in her trailer. Ugh... THAT'S a workout. My hubby was on the ride with me and he kept asking if we needed to switch. Hahaha.

Just in case anyone needed more motivation to train, run disney fb page revealed the sirt design for next year:

Love it!!!!

Can't wait to get my shirt!

Keep running ladies! Here comes the cheering squad!

Did my first workout of Week 4 of the 5K101 plan this morning. Intervals are 4 min jog/1 min walk (x 5). I was worried that I wouldn't make it through the jog sections, but I not only got through each one of them, I actually increased my jog pace!

Onwards!!!

Awesome!

On a different note... We got the Paradise Pier!!! We (family and I) are going to be there Saturday and Sunday night. I'm planning on driving up to the Expo on Friday and then driving back.

I'm so excited!!!

Our local running store had a fun run this evening as a promo for the Hood to Coast race. Nike was one of the sponsors and was offering trial runs with their shoes so I tried out a pair. Not the best choice and ended up walking more than I would have liked.

Well at least I found out that shoe was not the one for me. Also they had two courses mapped out a 4 mile and a 7 mile. Well turned out the 4 mile was really 4.8 miles.

So my 74 mins ended up being a 15:24 pace. Yeah me. That is the best I have done and the farthest I have run/walked.

Way to go, Indygirl! You continue to inspire.

Tomorrow I'm scheduled to run the Magic Mile.
