Tink Tuesday

Running this past week has been slow going, but the good news is my pace seems to be surviving. I got a Fitbit Zip and it's keeping me motivated. Check back tomorrow for my follow up post. :) 

I realized that I'm into the single-digit week countdown for Tink! Eeeekkkk!!! I know that I'm not running any of the races for time, so I'm not too hung up on my training schedule. I gave myself rough estimates of where I should be mileage wise. Basically I'm starting from my base of 6 miles and adding one per week. That'll have me at 13 miles 2 weeks before the half. I know I should be including some back-to-back running days to prepare for the 10k and half, but I'm more in the mindset that I'm going to wing it. No pun intended. ;)

Christmas is in full-gear, at least in the stores. Check out some of my Disney finds! 

Mickey Waffle Maker at CVS (also on Amazon)
I was going to keep this, but it didn't have good reviews on Amazon. :(

Disney Christmas gift wrap & bags at Target
My local Target has a nice little section of vintage-Disney inspired Christmas wrap, gift bags and gift tags. All super cute! :) 

Do you always follow a training plan? Are you seeing Christmas stuff in stores yet?

    1. It's super cute, but the reviews on amazon weren't that great. People said it was more like a pancake shaper than a waffle maker because the inside wouldn't get cooked without burning the outside. :/

  2. I try to follow my training plan, but some times life happens and it just doesn't happen lol. My current training plan was 16 weeks, but I made it 18 weeks just in case of that kind of stuff!

    I love that waffle maker and that wrapper paper! YAY for Christmas and especially Disney Christmas stuff!!

  3. I have started to see christmas items in stores but i haven't really "looked" at them yet. I LOVE that Disney wrapping paper. Doesn't Targt have the coolest stuff? I usually have lots of paper and gift bags for the start of christmas because i buy them the following year when they are on sale ( I try to be thrifty like that, haha) but I may have to break down and get that paper! The waffle make is super cute too, but based on the reviews I could understand why you returned it.

    1. I try not to spend a ton on Christmas wrap/paper, but sometimes you need to splurge a little. :) I'll probably only use it for my Disney friends who will appreciate the wrapping paper as well as the gift. haha.
