hhhmmm

November 15, 2009 | Uncategorized

So i realized I am not very good with this blog thing, nor do I think anyone reads it. I have decided to turn this isnto a running/training blog. Even if no one reads it, it will be good for me to log my workouts, think through some things dealing with my running/training etc.

SO this week was a total bust. i got new shoes, FINALLY as my other ones are a year old and worn completly down. I was having BAD hip pain on my left side on long runs, then it turned into on ALL runs, so I finally got me some Nike vomero 4’s. I ran 3 miles in them Monday and it felt really good!…..and then I got sick! So, its saturday night, and I havent run since monday! I was suppsoed to do an 8 mile run today, too sick to do it, so i feel very behind in my training for my half which is in January!!! I have to get a move on here!
so see how sweaty I am in the pic below? That was the Run for the Son 5k in August. I will NEVER run a 5k in hilly downtown Jackson in AUGUST ever ever AGAIN!
hopefully I will be back to running monday and I can get in a long run next Saturday.

🏃‍♀️🌴 Running a 5K in paradise? Yes please. The C 🏃‍♀️🌴 Running a 5K in paradise? Yes please.

The Castaway Cay 5K was hands down one of our favorite memories from our @disneycruiseline cruise, just me and my girl, running along the most beautiful island with that Caribbean breeze and the bluest water cheering us on. It’s such a fun (and free!) way to experience Castaway Cay in a totally different way.

If you’re planning a cruise, this is your sign to do the 5K — even if you walk it! Grab water early, go first thing before it gets too hot, and don’t forget to stop for pictures because you won’t want to forget this one! 🏅 

If you’re ready to book your own Disney cruise, I’d love for you to use my link in my bio and plan through Best Day Ever Vacation. It’s completely free to have the book for you and they have over 1000 5 star reviews! 🤍

🚨 Right now there’s an incredible deal: 20% off select voyage fares PLUS a $250 onboard credit 🙌 
That onboard credit can go toward excursions, specialty dining, souvenirs, or spa time (yes please).

Let me know if you have questions about the 5K or cruising with kids, it truly was the best day ever! (Make sure you use my link in bio to get your free quote so they know that I sent you!!)
