WDW Marathon Weekend through Disney Movies!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:00:00 +0000

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!

Nearly 2 years has lead to this! It's DOPEY time!

Wow. After months of preparation and training has all boiled down to 4 days, 4 race, 6 medals. I am TWO days away from driving up to Orlando and meeting my mom. I will be leaving here at 5:00 AM Wednesday morning and head straight to ESPN Wide World of Sports for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Health and Fitness Expo! This is my most favorite thing to do during marathon weekend.

For those of you who don't know my journey to the Dopey Challenge it all started two years ago when I signed up for the "unofficial" Dopey Challenge. This is essentially the Goofy Challenge with the added 5k. Anyway after training and saving money Chris and I got to Disney and I was hit with the flu. I ran the 5k and Half Marathon with 103 fever and the night before the Full Marathon I fainted in the food court of our hotel and my dreams of doing the Goofy died. I cried that whole night. And here we are almost 365 days later and I am coming back with a vengeance.

My training has been AMAZING. I literally couldn't have done with without of Train2Run Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday Groupies. And I can't forget my Fun2Run friends on Wednesday nights! The past couple months we have run through rain, heat and humidity and one night of freezing temps! Ok, ok maybe it was like the 50's but STILL that is freezing for South Florida standards!

I will be arriving bright and early at the expo for some fun Wednesday morning, and will be tweeting all weekend and facebooking so be sure to stay tuned to my pages for updates. We will be staying off site this year. But if you do see me around the park please say hi! I love talking to people!

Last min prep is in full swing. I will be spending most of tonight packing and getting ready. Laundry has been in full swing and our bed room looks like a running bomb went off in it. Chris walked upstairs last night and walked in the room as I sit on the bed sorting stuff and he said laughing "Wow, I can't handle this!" and turned around and walked away! Silly.

So what are you packing? Are you already at Disney? And how much do you LOVE the race shirts?!? I hoping (fingers crossed) that Disney Park Blog will post some merchandise pics today! YAY!

Until next time everyone!

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

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 05 Jan 2014 12:00:00 +0000

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!

2014 New Years Resolutions

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 12:00:00 +0000

With 2014 already a couple days in, I have seriously been pondering what my New Years Resolution (aka
NYR) should be. This has been a toughie for me. But two nights ago when I met up with my favorite group of runners to start off the new year right with a run (well tapering for me.) I finally came up with my NYR!

I will need a drum roll please...…..

That's right! I want to run 1000 miles in 2014. Yes I am NUTS. But, by days end 1/12 I will have already 62.1 miles in! This should be a breeze….. I hope! But this isn't my only NYR for 2014 here are some other ones!

Being a better Blogger: I want to be myself but also like the women who inspired me to be a blogger. They have so much passion and love for what they do. I want that! This will def be a work in progress.

Design more: One thing a lot of people don't know is I LOVE design work. I love designing party invitations, cards, event programs. You name it I can do it. I have done some Christmas card work this past year for friends and family but here is our Christmas Card from this past year that I designed.

Be a better Puppy Mommy, Girlfriend, Sister and Daughter: My family means the world to me. So I want to be able to give them the time they deserve.

Learn more about photography: My mom bought me this Christmas a Canon Rebel SL1. I basically started crying when I opened it. I take a lot of pictures for my company for events etc. But I want to learn about lighting and the proper technique.

Of course NYR take time and practice, but fingers crossed these things can happen! Happy 2014! I will update you all in June on how all of this is going!

Until next time everyone!

What are some of your New Years Resolutions?

Did You Miss Me? Life/Training Update -- New Years Edition 2014!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 14:33:00 +0000

Hi everyone! Man, I can't believe 2013 is over! And that I have been so MIA since Mid-October! First off let me apologize for my absence. Life happens and I am a firm believer that Family comes first. They took the front seat for a short time. But I am happy to be back up and running! So let me update you on some happenings in my life!

Life Updates:

I went more to the blonde side. And I like it!

I FINALLY got my 2013 Coast to Coast Shirt in the mail!

My little Stella had surgery and had to wear the 'Cone of Shame' for Halloween.... So we told people we dressed her up like a satellite dish.

Bentley now thinks he is the 'King of the House' and proceeds to sleep on top of pillows like he is royalty or something. #Spoiled.

I had Fire Training at work and learned to put out fires. I really felt like a bad ass after it all.

Chris got me some flowers and a card. Just because. I really thought he did something wrong.

And Stella became a toy hoarder. We are currently seeking treatment for her

hoarding tendencies now.

Training Update:

Joined a running/training group at Fit2Run. LOVE IT. And volunteered at the Ft. Myers Beach Half and Full Marathon! Best experience of my life.

I love donuts so much...But my coach said it is not part of my training plan. BOO

Since my SERIOUS training started back in October (about 11 weeks), I have logged 258 miles. Stella wants to start running too.

I FINALLY bought myself a Lululemon Scuba Zip Hoodie for WDW Marathon Weekend. Not to run in of course but to be cozy warm. Best part of this whole thing, I got it day after Christmas for $58.00

I also bought some VIBRAMS! Aka my Tinger shoes. Love them.

I don't run in them but I love them.

I also made some Christmas Cookies that my coach said I couldn't have..... Evil.

Be on the look out for my blog updates that will occur every

Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday!

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: What is the longest day that you have worked?

I'm doing a Duathlon!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:42:00 +0000

Happy Friday! Technically tomorrow is my Friday since I will be working an event at work until 10:00 PM tonight.... Tomorrow there will probably be no post seeing as I won't be home until 10:45 since I live a town over from my work. I'm exhausted thinking about it!

Courtesy of eliteevents.org

For the past couple months I've been toying with the idea of doing a Duathlon or a Tri. I purchased a bike about two and a half years ago. I rode pretty regularly, mostly every morning. Then I stopped. The last time I rode was on Thanksgiving of last year. We have a Thanksgiving race every year and you get a discount if you ride your bike. Gotta love discounts!

Anyway, I have been saying to Chris that I want to do a Duathlon. But my bike has been living at my parents house a half hour away. And last night my wonderful man borrowed his dad's truck and we dove to my parents and got my bike! YAY! I'm so excited!

For those of you who don't know what a Duathlon is, it is a race with two different activities. Biking and running. Once I start swimming again I will do a Tri, but for now lets stick with two things. They have a regular Duathlon and a Sprint Duathlon. And after much research I have decided to take part in the Christmas Sprint Duathlon by Elite Events on Sunday December 15!

1 mile run (Courtesy of eliteevents.org)

10 mile bike (Courtesy of eliteevents.org)

3 mile run (Courtesy of eliteevents.org)

I am so over the moon about doing my first Duathlon. There is a little less then 2 months or 8 weeks until this event. I am so excited and can't wait to get out on the road!

I know this is not the Friday Fab 5 but this is way better!! Oh and don't forget to sign up for my Runners Wonderland Give away!! Check out the post and how to sign up here!

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: Have you ever done a Sprint Duathlon? Do you have any tips?

Fit4Fun Thursdays: Lovers Key Sunset 5k Recap

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:42:00 +0000

Yay! It's Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday and I am ready for the weekend! Especially Saturday because I can relax. Anyway, I sadly had to miss my favorite running day of the week last night. I had a work event and missed it. Needless to say I was devastated. Mostly because Brooks was in the house to test run shoes... UGH!! Kill me. I can't believe I missed it. So instead of talking about what we did last night at run club, I am going to do a recap of the race I did with Fit2Run on Sunday night!

I just wanted to share this cute picture!!

On Sunday night I drove down to Lovers Key State Park. Luckily this was not one of the parks affected by the government shut down since it is a state park. This was a 35 min drive up the Florida west coast. It is quiet a lovely drive.

This 5k is part of a series Fit2Run is doing called Real Florida Run Series that does 5k/10k's through different Florida State parks, all over the state. It really is an awesome thing and there are a couple races near me. This was the first one I participated in. The race took place Sunday night at 6:00 PM

The 5k was a trail run through the back beach marsh of the Lovers Key. It was really peaceful. I just wanted to take it easy running. So as the race stated it was like running through the jungle! I felt so special! The course was all different. It went from grass, to mud, to sand, to grass, to roots. I knew I needed to watch what I was doing during this race. Because one wrong step and I could seriously hurt myself.

Mile one and two went by without notice. There was one water station. I was ok with that since I was taking my time. I was dodging roots, mud and water. I really felt like Indiana Jones! Mile three came around and we where back on the road heading to the finish. I soon passed Kimmi and Jill and waved. I realized that the heat and humidity was killer at the moment. But it didn't matter because I could see the finish. Soon I was running on a bridge towards the finish that was on the beach. The sun was setting int the background. I was quiet beautiful. I stopped for a min to take a picture. Then I ran to the finish.

My finish time was 36:??. I know it was 36- something. Worst 5k time ever. But the course was so beautiful and peaceful. I really enjoyed running it!

Oh and don't forget to sign up for my Runners Wonderland Giveaway! Be sure to check out yesterdays post to registered.

Until next time everyone!

Tuesday Ramblings

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:31:00 +0000

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?

Saturday: September Goals Recap!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 05 Oct 2013 10:00:00 +0000

It's SATURDAY! And it's October which is awesome because it is officially holiday season. All my favorite holidays back to back! YAY! It is also deadline day (D-Day 4 days ago) for my September Goals! Boy do I have an update for all of you.

I have so much to talk about! So let's start with my September Monthly Goals. If you read my blog last month, you saw my September Goals in my Friday Fab 5, but just in case here is a little reminder:

Goal One: Get more organized at work, home and in the blog world.

Status: Well, I have been somewhat successful with that. At work is a definite yes. At home, lets just say my house doesn't smell like hockey, basketball, dogs and running shoes anymore. If I haven't mentioned it before I live with THREE GUYS. And for the blog world, I am getting there so lets call this goal COMPLETED!

Goal Two: Run my 10k in 1:08:00

Status: Well I ran that race, but my time was 1:10: 22.8. So I was 2:22.8 off. Shouldn't of taken those two walking breaks! But I am super happy with my time! For a recap of that race click here!

Goal Three: Read a book.

Status: I am in the process of reading Eat, Pray, Love. I am not done with it nor am I half way through it. But I am reading! YAY!

Goal Four: Start getting back into my workout routine.

Status: COMPLETED! I am doing great after my runners funk and joining a gym. I feel like a rock

star!

Goal Five: Keep my calendar up to date.

Status: So far so good! I just need to stop leaving my agenda in the car...Hmmmm.

Well with September closing out 4 days ago. I hope your September goals where successful. Mine where 50/50 as you can see. Here is to October!

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: How did your September Goals go?

Friday Fab 5 (plus one): October Goals!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:41:00 +0000

Happy Friday! So I am four days late with my October goals...... FAIL. But since it is Friday and time for my Friday Fab 5. This week is actually going to be Friday Fab 5 (plus one)! Here are the 5 (plus one) things that I loved about this week!

Goal One: Run Rockotberfest 10-Miler in 1:57:00

This is going to be tough. My first serious local 10 miler. I did the math (sorta) and came up with this time based on the average from my 10k last month. Hopefully I will see the results on my long training. And if I can do this, I can get a half in 2:30. That is my ultimate goal.

courtesy of eliteevents.org

Goal Two: Run 75 miles in the month of October.

I want to get A LOT of mileage in, in October. So I set a DREAM goal of 75 miles. I will settle for 50 but 75 would be ideal.

Goal Three: Finish reading a book.

One of my goals in September was read a book.... well I did read a book, but didn't finish. This month I want to FINISH the book

Goal Four: Learn a new recipe

I love to cook. Living with three guys and three dogs, I am constantly looking for something new to cook. Unless I have a meeting or work commitment, I cook EVERY NIGHT for the boys.... I mean men! But I want to learn something a little more complex. Something classy if you will. I love the easy, quick recipes. But I want to get a little fancy.

Goal Five: Interact with my readers more!

I love you all. I just feel I need to interact with you more! I was really good about it in the beginning, but now I have been a little slack. It's time to get back on the horse!

Plus One: Fit2Run Opening at Downtown Disney!

This has been the most exciting thing about my week. I was so honored to be one of the first to announce this to my readers. I am loving the fact that Disney is letting Fit2Run open at Downtown Disney! Be sure to check them out when they open on November 1st! And be sure to check out my post on this here.

Until next time everyone!

Fit4Fun Thursdays: Fitness Challenge

If not be sure to check it out. This post was suppose to go up yesterday but with the big announcement it got moved to today.

Before I talk about my favorite day of the week I wanted to introduce a new concept (3 days late) to everyone that I am going to do and I hope you all will join me in this new endeavor! It is call GSC Monthly Fitness Challenge. Each month on the first of the month I will provide a calendar of a different work out movement. This month is abs so I am calling it CRUNCH IT!

So to explain this simply I would love for you to do this with me! I started this morning with 75 sit up's/crunches. I know it was yesterday. But I am skipping my rest day on Saturday and do my 120 sit up's/crunches then. But I would LOVE for you to join me in my Fitness Challenge. Please let me know how your doing too!

BREAKING NEWS: Fit2Run Store Coming to Downtown Disney!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:16:00 +0000

So I have been DYING for the past week or so when I found out this amazing news, and I wanted to be the first to tell my readers THE BEST NEWS EVER, but I was sworn to secrecy. Since I just got an email officially announcing it, I think it is totally safe to go public with it! Fit2Run is opening a store at Downtown Disney on the West Side!

I nearly cried when I heard this about a week ago. The ink was still fresh on the paper when I heard. This will be a great opportunity for every runDisney Fan to stock up on some AWESOME gear while visiting for race weekend! Opening date (according to the email I just got) is slated for November 1st. Just in time for all you Wine & Diners.

For those of you who do not know what Fit2Run is, it is the most amazing runners paradise store on the planet. They also really REALLY care about there customers and clients. My local Fit2Run host different events like Fit2Run Fun Run on Wednesday, Yoga on Sundays, test runs of different shoes and trainings sessions (5k, 10k, Half and Full) for people who need a running group.

Fit2Run also Club Fit2Run for an annual fee of $30.00 you get VIP access to special events, 30-day test run guaranteed on all running shoes, advance notice of sales, specials discounts and much much more! It will literally pay for itself with a purchase of shoes. What store on earth let's you return shoes if you don't like them during the first month you own them? RIDDLE ME THAT!

And Fit2Run also had an Ambassador program! These are a select group of people in the community that really believe in the mission of Fit2Run. Who motivate people, age group award winners and everyone in-between. I love the Ambassadors at my store. They are some of the greatest runners and friends I know.

Now that Fit2Run is coming to Downtown Disney get to know the staff there when they open. I'm sure you will LOVE the people there. One of my most favorite running buddy in the entire world is our Manager at our Fit2Run store and best part I get to call her my friend, Kimmi. She and her team at our store are AWESOME. Can't wait to see them tonight because it is Wednesday!

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: Will you be checking out the Fit2Run store at Downtown Disney when it opens?

Race Tips: Tower of Terror 10-Miler

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:50:00 +0000

Last year I participated in the Tower of Terror 10-Miler (or TOT 10-Miler for short). 2012 was the first year the TOT 10 miler was done. runDisney previously (2009) had the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13k (8.078 miles). The 2012 TOT 10-Miler was run on September 29, 2012. We are about 5 days away from the 2013 TOT 10-Miler. I sadly won't be going this year. Personal/work choice, I promise. But my two favorite running partners Jill & Kimmi are going.

My experience at TOT 10-miler was not a fantastic one. Thinking back on it there where a few things I would and wish I could have done differently for example: like possibly done interval training and not tried to run as hard as I could in 100% humidity and not have Chris wheel me out of Hollywood studios in a wheel chair. Oh yea and the being violently sick and almost throwing up on myself on the bus.

Anyway I have put together some three tips to get through TOT 10-miler because early October in FLA, you never know what your gonna get!

Tip one: Plan for every type of weather.
Early October is still rainy and hurricane season in FLA. Because of this I recommend bringing extra of everything. Shoes, undies, socks, shorts, sunscreen bring it all!

Tip two: HYDRATE in advance! Before, during and after.
Hydrate, hydrate, HYDRATE!! Get it yet? Biggest mistake I made was not to hydrate correctly for this race. Start hydrating now. Hydrate during the race with a fuel belt and stop at every water station.You will thank me later.

Tip three: Enjoy the race and after party!
You trained so hard for this! Now it's time to celebrate. Enjoy the 10-mile race and the villainous after party!

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: Are you going to TOT 10-miler? What are you most excited for?

Fit 4 Fun Thur... Well Monday: Fit Nation Fall Social

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 11:38:00 +0000

Even though today is Thursday, my favorite day of the week is Wednesday. I will tell you this every week. Every time I see the clock hit 5:00 PM at the office I can't wait to get my running gear on and see my friends at Fit2Run. I literally have the best group of running friends ever. And it is all thanks to Fit2Run.

This week it was the Fit Nation Fall Social. What is Fit Nation (Aka FN)? It is a local fitness magazine. They are less than a year old but very active in the community. They have a social every season. The summer social was at a local restaurant. This time it took over our Fit2Run Fun Run Thursdays. Kimmi and the FN team did a great job.

Fit2Run was happy to host this event that not only had our normal 5k run but a bike course of 6, 12 or 18 miles. I obviously chose to take the 5k route. I have not come full circle to biking yet, even thought I own one. Maybe I should start riding.....Hmmm

The cool thing we got to do at this FN & Fit2Run Fall Social was that I got to test run Newton running shoes AND 110% compressions sleeves. The Newton running shoes where different. I don't think I would purchase these shoes. BUT 110% compressions sleeves, OMG I am obsessed with these. They have extra pockets to put ice. AHHH AMAZING!

The 5k route was the same as always. At mile two there was a young girl, probably in middle school walking and as I passed her I said, "Come on girl! You're younger than me! Let's finish this as a team." then I had a running buddy the rest of the way.

After the 5k there where table set up from local Chiropractors, massage therapist, different personal trainers, it was really neat. The best part? We all had dinner from Moe's for free. It was great not having to cook dinner.

I talked to my friends and talked to different booths and got a free chair massage. It was amazing. They had a great raffle too! Sadly I didn't win anything, but Jill did! Lucky duck. It really was a great night to hang out with my running friends and have some fun! Love my Fit2Run friends.

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: Do you have a core group of running friends?

Recap: Paradise Coast International 10k

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 11:44:00 +0000

Sunday morning I competed in the Paradise Coast International 10k. Was it an international 10k? Well no, it was in Naples, FL. But it was a 45 min drive from our condo to the location of the race! That's almost like going international!

The alarm went off at 5:30 am, and I quietly slipped out of bed without waking Chris or the dogs up. I should totally win an award for this, because trying to slip out of bed without waking Bentley (our 1 year old yorkie, who is "special needs") up like NEVER happens. I had laid out my clothes the night before, so they where in the bathroom ready to go. By 6:00 am I was out the door, in the car and on my way to Naples.

By 6:30 am I was walking up to see some of my friends at the Fit2Run tent. We all chatted for a bit and then at 6:55 we all headed to the start line. This race was held at Sugden Park. I have been to this park tons of time when I was growing up. But this was my first race since Disneyland and with my runners funk I was definitely a little nervous. I had a time/goal I wanted to make and I was determined to do it. Soon the gun went off with a bang and away we went.

Mile one was very uneventful. I was trying to get my stride and calm my nerves, while adjusting to the rising humidity. I had run this course before for a 5k in June 2011, so I was some what familiar with this course until about halfway through mile one we took a left turn and we where now in a neighborhood that surrounded the park. And then after another few mins we entered East Naples Park which coincidentally was across the street from.

Mile two we where rounding a small swampy marsh lake and the sun was starting to shine. This is when I realized I didn't have my sunglasses! Kill me. We where soon leaving East Naples Park and heading back to Sugden and about to run the swampy trail around the lake. I felt great but the humidity was in full forces, especially since we where running next to a marshy swamp.

Mile three we passed the starting line and the Fit2Run tent. I looked over and saw some of my friend, Jill, Kimmie and Sarah. I got so excited that I started jumping around and waving. Sarah thankfully saw me and started jumping around too, so I didn't look like a total idiot. I was halfway through at this point and had to run the course one more time.

Mile three took use down the side of the sand by the small beach in front of the lake. And then right back into the neighborhood and back into East Naples Park. I was feeling the heat and humidity now and felt like I was struggling a little. Soon mile four turned into five and I was counting down. I had my goal in sight. I tried to pick up the pace but my lungs started to tighten up from the humidity so I had to slow down.

I rounded mile six and saw Jill, Kimmi and Sarah again and I started to jump and get excited. I started to push myself as hard as I could and crossed the finish line at 1:10:22.8. I was 2 mins short of my 1:08 goal. That was heart breaking.

I quickly grabbed some bananas and Powerade and ran over to chat with my friends. About an hour later we heard they where starting the awards. So we all started over to the award area. I was hoping for a top five finish because the awards go five deep in each category. And what runner doesn't love to be award for their training

My age group came up almost immediately. I already knew my time and they usually never (or at least that I know of) say time with the persons name. They announced the girl who came in 5th and her time was high than mine so I knew I placed. Then they announced 4th and 3rd, both where not me. I was like holy moly I am in the top two. And when they announced 2nd it was me Ta-Da!

FOR SHAME!! I missed the Fit2Run group picture. But I love Jill!

Overall this was a great race. The course was very scenic and swampy (a Floridian Favorite). Elite Events definitely puts on some great local events. I really excited for their next event.......... Rocktoberfest 10-miler!

Until next time everyone!

Friday Fab 5: Workin' on my Fitness

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:58:00 +0000

Happy Friday y'all! I am so happy that it is Friday! It has been a long week and I have bee slowly but surly getting out of my runners funk! It has been pretty awesome. And I know I am not the only one who know that when you start to work out again, you're pretty exhausted. That's me for sure. So here is my Friday Fab 5!

One: It's Friday

I am just happy it's Friday and I get to sleep a little tomorrow morning. I need it. I totally feel like Katy Perry in that song "Last Friday Night." When she is the geek. Ya that's me right now.

Two: I JOINED A GYM!

I joined a gym on Monday to get out of my runners funk! It is going to be awesome and take my fitness level to a whole new level. I was never against joining a gym, but my "theory" was that I am a runner all I need is a pair of sneakers and the road right? WRONG! I am happy that I made this choice.

Three: No more runners funk!

I think I may have my stride back! I actually ran 4 miles on Wednesday! It really felt awesome to get back on the road. It was raining the whole time. But I ran with no watch, no interval timer, no nothing to let me know how I was doing. I just rain.... With a bikini over my running outfit!

Four: Paradise Coast International 10k

I have my first race since Disneyland this Sunday! I am super excited to do a 10k. This will be one of the longest race I have done locally. I usually go out of town to do a local race. But Elite Events has been putting on some amazing races with some awesome distances.

Five: It's Fall! Well sort of!

It starting to feel like fall everywhere else, but South Florida. But I did do a little decorating the other night to get the feeling in the house. Next stop a pumpkin fall candle! Chris has no idea whats coming! YAY!

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: What is something great about your week?

Fit 4 Fun Thursday: Swim at Your Own Risk!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:31:00 +0000

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!

Courtesy of Fit2Run Coconut point

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?

Running for Noah's Light

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:29:00 +0000

During the 2013 Princess Half Marathon something happened to me that I will never forget. I was feeling a little off that morning, I can't remember why. But something was off. It could of been pre-race nerves or the fact that it was 3:00 in the morning.

I had been through tons of Disney races before and it was the same every time. So why did this time feel so off? I loaded the bus in front of Coronado Springs to head to the start line. I sat alone in the first seat looking out the window at the night sky wondering what the course had in store for me this time. I should be excited! This was my favorite runDisney course EVER! But still I felt different. I got off the bus and started toward the start line with about 15,000 other women and the 6 men that signed up for this race.

As I approached the entrance I could hear the DJ playing music and lights flashing I knew the party had already started. I heard a volunteer yell "Princesses this way! Leave your frogs at the door!", I giggled when I heard that. I started to pass the charity tents. I noticed two tents that where packed with people, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or Team in Training and the Autism Speaks. I looked and wondered to myself, how do you become part of these organizations. That thought quickly passed and I started to walk again.

Towards the end of the charity tents there was a group of ladies hugging and handing out water bottles. But what struck me as different was that they where not huddled by their tent. They where out talking to runners. One woman approached me gave me a big hug and said "Good Luck Princess! You're going to do great!" handed me a water bottle and a wrist band. I walked away stunned. I had never seen a charity organization do that before. I had no idea who the organization even was! Quickly I looked down at my wrist band and it said Noah's Light. As soon as I got to my corral, I took out my phone and looked up their website. And as I looked at the Noah's Light website that feeling of being off went away.

I never got to thank that woman for her kind words and inspiration that got me through that race. But I wore that Noah's Light bracelet through that race. And now it is my turn to give back.

Noah's Light is an organization that wants to find a cure for children's brain cancer. Everyday 12 children are diagnosed with brain cancer. 12 children. Of the 4,200 children diagnosed each year, fewer than 20% will survive this battle.

I have decided that during the 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, I will be running the Glass Slipper Challenge (10k & Half Marathon) on behalf of Noah's Light Foundation. I've set a personal goal of $2,000. So I'm hoping and asking for your help to reach my goal, and to help this wonderful organization. Your contribution will help Noah's Light Foundation Fund "The Noah Protocol" under the direction of Dr. Laurence Cooper.

I am raising funds because I believe there is hope and a cure out there somewhere. And with your support and help, I "Noah" cure is possible.

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: Is it your time to shine? Will you help me reach my goal? Every little bit helps.

Training Tip Tuesday: Join a gym

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:55:00 +0000

I just wanted to send a BIG thank you and hugs to all the love I received on FB, Twitter and in my comment section on yesterdays post. I am glad I am not alone in my Runners Funk alone. You guys motivate me. So THANK YOU!

Yesterday I made a decision. Mostly because I can't make it to my favorite trainer David class Wednesday nights anymore. (PS if you live in South Florida and EVER get to check out one of his class, I promise it would be worth it! Also check out his website! Click Here). So after work yesterday I scheduled a tour of our local LA Fitness.

Chris has been a member of LA Fitness for a while. Some of you know that Chris is not a runner. He plays basketball, but that is because he is pushing 6'7. One of my favorite things to do it watch him play ball. It literally is like ballet for men. Every night Chris goes to the gym for a couple hour playing pick up games and I either run or cook dinner.

I've been avoiding joining a gym. Not because of the money or cost, just because I get super nervous around big gyms. Mostly because I don't want to look like an idiot if I am using the machines wrong. I am a former crossfit lover So yesterday I took the plunge and took a tour of LA Fitness.

I met with the manager Jake and he took me around the gym and showed me the machines and said that he would schedule me an appointment with a trainer, at no cost to show me how to do different exercises. I am some what limited at what I do because of my wrist. Some of you may know I had surgery in May on my wrist, and I have limited strength and flexibility but it is getting better everyday!

Jake showed me some of the different classes they have and the pool! I love that they have the pool, mostly because I was a swimmer in high school and college, And lifeguarded and taught swim lessons to kids for 6 years. He was an amazing sales man! I already knew I was going to join, but if I wasn't he would have probably swayed me.

Needless to say I am now a member at LA Fitness. I am excited to get started and take my training to a whole new level. I have a meeting with a personal trainer, Joey tonight. Be sure to look our for that recap soon. Should be a good one!

Some of you may have seen this picture on my facebook page last night, but I thought it was hilarious with my caption.

I joined a gym.. and made a cake... and then ate the left over batter.

Until next time everyone!

Runners Funk

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 11:26:00 +0000

I have lost someone and I don't know where to find her. She is a young vibrant girl who loves all things running and traveling the world. She is motivated, had a weekly work out schedule and is completely obsessed with her dogs. She was just happy. Her name is Kylee, have you seen here?

So I am in a runners funk. Yes, I said it. I am in a runners funk. I have a tendency to get like this after a major race. And with Dopey almost 100 days away, I don't have time to be in a runners funk. On top of runners funk, I am having a series cause of writers block lately. I am having trouble finding words.

If you have been following my blog since I started writing about a month ago, you know that I never write about anything negative. This is because I am not a negative person. But I feel like this runners funk is making me feel negative.

I think not being motivated to lace up my sneakers and hitting the road is making me fuzzy and feeling lazy. So I have been asking myself this past week how can I get out of my runners funk and focused back on the thing that makes me happy in life. And here is what I came up with.

I need to focus a little more on myself. I think since I have been back from Disneyland I have been so consumed with my job, family, Chris, the dogs and just life in general. I need to find the inner joy and peace that comes from focusing on oneself. Plus I have a 10k this coming Saturday that I have a goal to reach (check out my September Goals post).

If you have seen this girl, please tell her to come home because I miss her terribly.With that I will end my little rant on runners funk. I need some motivation badly!

Until next time everyone!

Recap: Disneyland Half Marathon

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:27:00 +0000

Sunday morning my alarm went off bright and early at 3:00 AM. I was exhausted from the day before. Kelcy May was leaving to head back to the airport at 9:30 AM, so I knew I would have to kick my race into high gear so I could see her before I left.

I quickly got dressed and headed out to the Disneyland Hotel once more with my snack bag in hand. This morning was more organized then yesterday Disneyland 10k. I walked right to Corral C and sat on a curb to munch on some snacks.

The race didn't start for another hour so I started tweeting with some of my favs and called Chris to inform him that I was at the race and he should get out of bed because it was almost 8 AM EST. He said "Good Luck, I love you but you just woke the dogs up. And I am going back to bed.".

Finally Corral A went off and I got this sick feeling in my stomach. I think it was my nerves from this whole weekend. It was coming to a close and I had set out to do everything I wanted. There was only one catch, it was 13.1 miles away.

It was my turn to start and I knew I had to push myself a little harder but not burn myself out. intervals would start about a half mile in. When I woke up in the morning my legs where so tight. I didn't want to injury myself.

Miles one, two and three went by like nothing. Most of the course I had seen the day before because it was going though the parks. So I just enjoyed and looked around for things I hadn't seen the day before. It was a little different this time because I didn't have a camera with me to take tons of pictures.

By mile four and five we where out of the parks and in the city of Anaheim. This was the part I was most excited for. When we arrived in California we took a bus right from LAX to Disneyland. So I hadn't really explored the area. I slowed down my pace so I could enjoy the city.

Mile six rolled around and I had a god awful cramp in my left shoulder behind my shoulder blade that was coursing down my left arm. I quickly grabbed some Bio-Freeze from the medical tent and slathered it all over my shoulder and shoulder blade. One of the joys I had at mile six and a half was there where a group of people on the side of the road holding signs that said "Free Candy from Strangers" I laughed and saw a woman giving out some Twizzlers. It was exactly what I needed at that point.

Mile seven and eight I enjoyed some local high school bands along with some Hawaiian and Latin dancers. I really wanted to stop and dance with them. Mile 8.5 I started to see all these cars lined the side of the road. This was the most AMAZING thing I have ever seen in my life. for about two miles (or what seemed like two miles to me) there had to be like 250+ antique and souped up cars.

One random fact about Chris and I is we share a love for mustangs. My first car was a 2000 green V-6 mustang. Chris has a 2007 custom mustang. The joke around our house is that he loves that car more than he loves us (meaning me + Stella & Bentley).

I stopped my RunKeeper app on my phone and started snapping pictures as fast as I could. Soon it was mile nine and we where on a trail headed to the Angels Stadium. I could see it in the distance. I have run around the ESPN ball field but not and and actual MLB field. As we approached the field I heard all this screaming and cheering it was one of the biggest crowds I have seen cheering for runners. I saw some Boy and Girl Scouts, cheerleaders and marching bands. Then we headed into the stadium.

I felt like a super star. Everyone was screaming and cheering it was the most amazing feeling in the world. I took tons of pictures on my phone after stopping my RunKeeper app one last time. We headed out of the Angels stadium and I saw the Mile 10 sign. From mile eight to nine was the shortest mile by far to me. I took a deep breath and said to myself "Ky, you have a 5k to go and your done.".

Off I went as far as my little sore legs would take me. Miles 11 & 12 took us near the high way and I swear I passed our hotel in the process. I looked down at my watch and it was about 8:30 I knew I needed to pick up the pace if I wanted to see Kelcy May before she left and I had one mile to go.

I saw the mile 13 sign in the distance and at the same time I heard a scream (only my sister can do) say "Ky-Ky!" and a huge smile and wave. Kelcy May and Mama where near the finish line. I ran over said hello. Kelcy looked at me and said "Your hurting huh?" I smiled and said "Only .1 to go." and off I went to the finish line.

I crossed the finish line with a time of 2:54:32 with an average pace of 13:19 a mile. I had FINALLY completed the runDisney Coast to Coast Challenge and the Inaugural Disneyland Dumbo Double Dare.

Overall: I think the course was great. It took me through a city I have never seen before. Some parts of the city where nicer than others, but who doesn't have that problem? I wish there had been a couple more medical tents seeing as it was very hot for some people. I luckily trained in heat and was prepared for it. I would for sure go back and do the Disneyland Half Marathon again.

Until next time everyone!

QOTD: Did you do the Disneyland Half? What did you think of it?

Recap: Inaugural Disneyland 10K

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:27:00 +0000

Is anyone else ready for the weekend? It's already Tuesday and I am so ready for the weekend! Today I will continue my recaps from my trip to Disneyland. It already feels like it was so long ago. Don't worry I am already planning a trip back to Disneyland for the Tinker Bell Half Marathon in 2015.

This was a really memorable race for me and my sister. Not only was it the Inaugural Disneyland 10k, it was Kelcy May's first race EVER! And on top of that we got to experience it together. She had trained for this race after I introduced her to the Galloway method. She was very excited to run after that.

The night before the race we came back to our hotel room to find the whole floor flooded from a leaky sink. After quickly packing up our stuff we moved to a new room. Kelcy May and I started to lay out our race gear. Actually I laid out our race gear and she laid on the bed playing her new found addiction to Candy Crush. After about hour we started to notice the room was getting really hot. We turned the air down and about 20 mins later we realized that the air condition in the room was broken. We packed up the room and our stuff one more time and the hotel gave us a new room. It was a mess.

Our alarm went off at 3:30 AM. My body clock was still on EST, so it was not too bad getting up because I would have already been up at home. We quickly got dressed grabbed our snacks and headed towards the start line.

Once we got to the Disneyland Hotel, we noticed that everyone with 10k & Dumbo Double Dare bibs. We asked a volunteer why they where not letting us go to our corrals and she told us that the 5k had not started yet. And once the 5k runners had cleared the corrals we would be able to go to the corrals. So we found a curb and started to snack.

Soon everyone started to move towards the corrals and we moved with the crowd. We where in corral C, and soon after taking a few pictures the gun went off for corral A. We slowly started to move forward and Kelcy May asked me when we would start, I said probably in about 10 mins or so. Then all of a sudden as we where slowly moving forward everyone started running and we started the race.

Kelcy May and I had a plan of running the first mile as a warm up and then ease into the Galloway interval method at 3:1. For those who are not familiar with this it's a run/walk method. We chose to run 3 mins and walk 1 min. I quickly realized that my little sister (who is 5'11 almost 6'0) has a very large stride compared to me (I am 5'5). I was running double my normal warm up speed to keep up with her.

We came to mile one that was near the entrance of the convention center. Side note: Disney should definitely hold the expo there next year. more room for sure! Ok back to the 10k. We started our intervals at this point with my green little timer I strap to my arm. Soon mile two was in sight and I saw the FUNNIEST sign ever. It literally said "Run from the twerking Miley" I nearly fell over from laughing so hard.

Mile two took us through California Adventure. Kelcy May seemed to be ok. We stopped to drink a lot of water. As we rounded out mile three I heard a familiar voice. I turned to Kelcy May and said "Is that mom?" and sure enough there was Mama with her camera in hand snapping pictures and screams to everyone around her "THERE ARE MY GIRLS!". Only my mother would let everyone around her know that we where her children. After a quick hug, off we went.

Mile four and five took us through Disneyland. Near mile five Kelcy May over heard a runner say the Joey Fatone was only a short distance ahead of us. That's all she needed to hear and off like lightning she went. After run-stalking Joey for about a half a mile and snapping pictures but not actually bothering him to take a picture, which I am not sure which is worse.

We came out the main entrance to Disneyland and saw Mama again. Another quick hug and off we went to the finish line. As we took our last min walk break, Joey and his wife passed us. Kelcy and I looked at each other and started to run behind them. We crossed the finish line with Joey Fatone. Confetti flew through the air and N*SYNC song "It's Gonna Be Me" started playing through the speakers. We quickly got our medals. I got my Dumbo Double Dare wrist band and off we went to find our mom.

Overall this was a great Inaugural 10k for Disneyland. It was a little slow starting but once we started running all of our worries melted away. It was such a great course because it stayed on Disneyland property. I loved it. Stay tuned tomorrow for my recap of the Disneyland Half Marathon!

Until next time everyone!
