WDW Marathon Weekend through Disney Movies!

Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is FINALLY here! As you are reading this (and if it is before 8:00/8:30 AM) I am probably at ESPN Wide World of Sports or driving to there. Before I get on with today's post be sure to check me out on Twitter and FB for live updates about what I am doing and what is going on!

Anyway I thought today would be so FUN to relieve everyone's training through Disney GIFs. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did putting it together!

It all started here. I think we all loved Disney so much that a chance to run through it was a no-brainer.

Sign up day finally arrived and many of us chose to run the Dopey Challenge. Family members, husbands, boyfriends, children, neighbors where doing this...

While we are doing this...

Training started and we all worked extremely hard to prepare ourselves for the long haul. Even though at times it was not too pretty. 

And then runDisney reveled the medals, merchandise and other things along the way to keep us motivated and we basically looked like this...

Trying to get our outfits and costumes ready was what was most concerning to us. Until the  moment when we finally finished and we all did this...

It was time to start packing. When you realize you don't have a lot of space to bring ALL your running stuff.

Finally the day has come to leave for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and 

you are totally feeling like this...

You arrive at the expo to do some shopping and packet pick up and you instantly feel like this...

You soon run into facebook friends, blogging friends, twitter friends that you never actually met in person but automatically feel like you know them from all the connections made though out the year...

The night before the race you get a little bit nervous and slightly freak out and until you stop freaking out and say this to yourself...

And then say this to yourself and instantly everything is better...

You go to sleep extra early because you have to get up at the crack of dawn...

When you wake up in the morning you feel like this: 

So you fuel up and dream of the amazing food you will have later in the park.

You head to the start line and when it is your time to start something magical happens

And you immediately feel like this...

Because you have trained for this moment for a long time. BUT if you are doing the Dopey or Goofy you will probably go crazy at some point over the 4 or 2  days and do something like this. 

And pretty much from lack of sleep you will feel like this...

But as soon as you get your medal, no matter what race your face will most likely do this at the finish...

Because your a CHAMPION for running the Walt Disney World 5k or 10k or Half or Full or Goofy and a Half Challenge or the Dopey Challenge. And NO ONE can take that away from you.

I hope you all have an AMAZING race weekend! 

Until next time everyone! Kisses!

Weekly Wrap-up: 12-30 thru 1-5

This week has flown by! I am three days away from leaving for Disney and I have so much to do. From laundry, grocery shopping, getting Chris and the dogs ready for me being gone. PHEW! I am just getting dizzy thinking about it.

I've been tapering for about 2 weeks now (I know KILL ME). If your not a runner tapering means that you slow down and cut back on your training 2-3 weeks before your race. Every runner has different feelings about tapering. For me it's a love/hate relationship. I hate it because I hate slowing down, but I also love it because it means it's almost race time! AHHH! Now I am just stalking the weather channel…

Here is my weekly round-up!

Monday- Rest

Tuesday- 4 mile speed work 2 min slow/ 2 min fast x8 = 40 mins total

Wednesday- 2 mile easy run

Thursday- 2 mile easy run

Friday- Rest

Saturday- 8 mile run (Ps It was what I like to call a 'Florida Blizzard' because it was in the 50's!)

Sunday- Rest

On a side note… Am I the only person OBSESSED with runDisney New Balance shoes? I am so EXCITED to get a pair! Wooo! I am totally getting the Cinderella ones!

How did your workouts go this week? Are you heading to Disney along with me? If you are I would love to know! And if you see me out there be sure to say Hi! 

Until next time everyone! Kisses! 

Friday Fab 5!

It's Friday! I am so glad it is the weekend. I feel like this week took FOREVER! It 's probably because I am so excited for Disneyland. I am so close! This time next week, well it will be 4:00 in the morning California time and I will probably be waking up. Why do I get the feeling that I will be getting up at 5 or 6 AM Cali time (It will really be 8 or 9 EST) and going for a run or work out pre park and expo? Oh well!

Being that it is Friday, you know its time for the Friday Fab 5! This is my FAVORITE post of the week because I get to tell you all about 5 things I loved about this week. Ready? Here you go!

One:
I obsessed with the fact that I got my Disneyland Ticket yesterday. I had to get them sent to my office because someone had to sign for them. And no one is usually at our house during the day, except the dogs. So I got to see them in all there glory at my office.

Two:
That I have a 5k race tomorrow It is called The North Collier Regional Rampage 5k. Elite Events is a local race company that puts on literally the best local races around. During the summer they have a 3 series race contest. I unfortunately could not do the first race because of a surgery. I participated in the second of the series, Eagle Lakes Extreme 5k.. My chip time was  31:51, I places 7th in my age group, 50th overall female and 117th overall. I am pushing for a 30:30 to 31:00 time. Fingers crossed.

Three:
Yesterday I signed up for a yoga class called Restore and Renew. It will take place on Sunday from 1:00 to 3:30 PM. This yoga class is a relaxing therapeutic workshop while a massage therapist works on you. I thought it would be a nice little down time before Disneyland Half. It will be at Bala Vinyasa Yoga. Be sure to check out my blog next week to get a review of this! Now I need to go find my yoga mat... Hmmmmm.

Four:
I am happy and sad about this one. I stopped by our local Disney Store to pick up some goodies for our trip to Disneyland. Well when I walked it I found out the store was closing! NOOOOOO! But EVERYTHING in the store was 75% off! GASP! YAY! So I basically purchased a 8 shirts for me 8 shirts for Mama and some other goodies. But here is one of the coffee mugs I got! Be sure to check out my photo blog everyday while I am in Cali to see what shirts I got!

Five: 
I am so excited to see my MAMA! I haven't seen my Mom since April. Which is a really long time for us. She spends about 3 months out of the year down here is South Florida and the rest of her time in Northern Georgia at her cabin. I am just really excited to see her and spend some quality time with her. I am sad the Kelcy May can come with us to Disneyland! It's ok I told her we would go back next year!

Until next time everyone!
