48.6 Miles Done

January 13, 2014 | Disney, fitness, runDisney, running

Well folks I did it! Four days, four races and 48.6 miles later I have 6 new medals and very sore legs. Thanks for all the encouragement you all showed me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Your virtual cheers helped! We are enjoying one last day in Disney today then we head home tomorrow!

Here are a couple pictures from today:

    To be honest I’m terrified of trying to finish my first 13.1 in February, so the thought of running 48.6 is beyond me right now. But, a year ago I wouldn’t have dreamed of 6 miles let alone 13.1. So, I won’t say never, just not anytime soon. Congrats! I’m envious of how you never even look tired. Love the costumes.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
