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!

Tuesday Ramblings

A lot of you must be wondering where in the world I have been! Can I just tell you how CrAzY my life has been. Between events at work, gym time, spending time with Chris and the dogs, I am usually asleep by 9:00 PM. So tonight I am going to get you up to speed on whats going on in the world of Kylee!

It is event season here in South Florida. I work in Naples. And in Naples October through April is considered event season. This is how non-profits survive here. Fundraisers are being held on a nightly basis with tickets ranging from $50.00 to $2500.00 per person. And since I work at a local non-profit and because we have an event space there has been an event every night this past two weeks. I am exhausted.

I am obsessed with Dancing with the Stars, Grey's Anatomy and Scandal. I have watched every season of Grey's, and have watched every Monday of DWTS and Scandal is my newest addiction this year. Monday's and Thursday's I find myself curled up in bed watching my shows.

I am LOVING fall fashion. It got down to 60 the other night. Which here in FLA doesn't require a jacket and I quickly got out my scarfs and boots. And by 9:30 AM it was already 80 degrees. It was short lived but it was amazing.

How's your training going? Mine is going good so far! I've been at the gym 3 days a week, running on Wednesdays and races on the weekends. I had a sunset 5k Sunday night. Look for that recap tomorrow. Plus I have my 10 mile race this weekend! AHH!

Until next time everyone! 

QOTD: What do you want to ramble about this Tuesday?  

Fit 4 Fun Thursday: Swim at Your Own Risk!

I think I have my stride back! Last night was my normal run group 5k at my local Fit2Run store! Can I just say how much I LOVE and OBSESSED with this store and the people that work there? I have met so many neat and very cool runners over the past couple months runner with this group of people.

It has been almost a month since I have been to a Wednesday night Fit2Run Fun Run. I was there a week before I left for California. So it was so nice to see all my friends I haven't seen in a while. I almost didn't go because it literally had been raining and lightning since 2:30 PM. But I got dressed and headed to my run club

This Wednesday was super fun because it was a beach themed run. So I pulled out my bikini and wore it over my running clothes! It was really awesome if I do say so myself. This week was a lazy week for some people because it was raining so they skipped. Basically not our usual crowd. But I did make a new friend though! Her name is Jill and she is a local runner and LOVED runDisney like me! I know she and I will be fast friends!

It was also nice to hang out and see my favorite running buddy and store manager Kimmi. She and I ran the entire course together doing 5:2 intervals. 5 mins easy run, 2 mins speed run. It was a littler different than I normally run but so glad I hung back with her!

What I found the most freeing was that I had no music, no watch and no interval timer and it was raining. There are all things I had never done before. I think it got me centered again. Right where I need to be.

I feel great after my running tonight. I hope I won't be sore in the morning, but I don't mind if I am because I think I have my stride back.

Until next time everyone! 

QOTD: Did you get in any mileage yesterday or today? 

Weekly Workout Roundup: Aug 18-24

Happy Sunday! I hope you guys are having a great week. I took a little bloggy break yesterday. I had so much to do and needed a little break. But I did have a race yesterday. You will hear all about it in tomorrows post. Now to my weekly recap!

I took this week very easy. Since I am leaving for California on Thursday. I have been trying not to over do it. I have been majorly slacking this week because I am afraid if I over do it I will get sick. Mostly because Chris was sick last week. If I sneeze I freak out. NO BEING SICK FOR ME!


Here is what I did the rest of the week!

Sunday: 2 mile walk.

Monday: rest

Tuesday: 2 mile run

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: rest

Friday: rest

Saturday: 3 mile run

Very uneventful week. I am in the process of trying to get a key to our club workout house. It have a couple of machines like a treadmill, elliptical and other minor things. This would help me out so much of those super hot Florida afternoons or evenings! 

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: How did your weekly workouts turn out? 

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!
