National Running Day- Are You Celebrating?

Are you celebrating National Running Day by getting out there and logging a few miles? I know I will be this morning! :) 

Kinda cheesy, but totally true. My husband and I were both pretty overweight and out of shape, so we took up running as a way to get active and stick to the "and in health" part of our vows.

But nowadays...

My precious.... ;)

Why do you run?

Adventures of my Disney Vinylmation

I have two Vinylmation figurines that I keep on my desk at work. My boss decided to get creative on one of my days off and this is what I came back to... 

"Cirque du Soleil"

(that's a mini Snickers bar on them)

Since then, each time after my day off, I come back to something different.

"Date Night"

... in my orchid plant.

"Pizza Lunch"

"Jousting Match"

"Mission Impossible"

(the panda one is actually hanging from the ceiling!)

Have your coworkers ever done anything funny/weird with your desk items?

June Fitness Goals!

Confession: I haven't run in... like 3 weeks? Okay, I might have put in a couple miles on the treadmill at the gym one time, but nothing major. I got a little burnt out after my half in April and then the relay race in early May. Instead, I've been enjoying take out and beer, but I definitely need running to balance it out. 

The WDW Marathon is just 32 weeks away and with a new month around the corner, I'm determined to start fresh and get training! I haven't settled on an exact training plan for the marathon just yet, but I know I have plenty of time. 

It'll be my first marathon!

After my relay, I realized that I was able to maintain a faster pace from strength training + running than only running, but more miles. For now I'd like to get my base mileage back up and consistently strength train. Then as we get closer to the race, I'll move to a training plan to increase mileage. 

June Fitness Goals
- Complete strength training circuit 6 times/week
- Run 3 times/week

Since I'm just trying to get back into a routine, I'm not setting any mileage goals, just to get out there and run. 2 miles minimum, more if I feel like it. 

How do you get back into a training routine? Any tips or advice?

Star Wars Race Teaser! #LetTheWookieeWin

runDisney just released a little teaser video confirming that there will be a Star Wars themed race. The video didn't say whether it will be at Disneyland or Disney World, but rumors have it that it will be at Disneyland, taking the January slot Tink used to hold.

Check out the video if you haven't already!

I have some FastPass+ & runDisney Questions...

As a total newbie to WDW and all it's fancy new features like Magic Bands and FastPass+, I have a few questions for my runDisney friends. 

For Marathon weekend, I was planning to purchase my park tickets through Get Travel since they have discounted tickets for runners. But it says the tickets won't arrive until about 2 weeks before our trip. 

- Is this enough time to book FastPass+? 

- Is Get Travel the best option for discounted tickets?

- Do you have any recommendations for which attractions to book using FastPass+?

Any general tips are also appreciated!

Thanks everyone! :)

Sorry I've Been Absent...

I'm sorry I've been absent for the past couple weeks. I'm trying to sort out some personal matters. I'll explain once I get things figured out, but I can tell you that there are big changes ahead for me.

Thanks for bearing with me!
