Number 13

September 3, 2012 | Disney, running, Running Skirts, Travel

 

We did it! Half marathon number 13 for me, and I got my coast to coast medal. The Disneyland half marathon was a success!

Don’t worry, there will be much more to tell about the race including a full recap, but we only have a few days in Disneyland and I want to enjoy them, but also be sure I do a good job with my recap, so it will come when I get back home. Don’t worry, I took plenty of pictures to go along with it!

Be sure to check out my Disneyland expo recap posts one and two.

Did you hear? my friend Cindy from Running Skirts WON the half marathon for the women! Her awesome sister Christy came in 10th, I am so proud of both of them, what an accomplishment!

Cindy on the left, Christy on the right. Great ladies, and super speedy!

    Lucky number 13…one of my fave numbers. You definitely celebrated it in style. I was talking to my husband last night and came up with the idea of making a Disney race happen for 2013. We are now only 5ish hours away from Disneyland. Been to Disney World many times, but never Disneyland. Maybe we can make it happen this upcoming year. Looks like Tinkerbell is sold out already so I’ll have to stay patient for an entire year. Enjoy your time out in Cali!

    Congratulations! I placed once in a very small race. There are too many speedy women in my age group around here! Maybe I will move up to the next one before they do. 😉

    Congrats!
    I’ve placed 3rd (woman) in a 10K once but had to miss the award and ceremony due to my house inspection. I think I only ran that fast because I had to hurry back to an appointment and I didn’t want to DNF.

    AHHHH!!! Congratulations!!! I’m still working on 5k’s, but my goal is to run the Disney half. 🙂 LOVE the skirts!

    • Heather says

      September 3, 2012 at 8:01 pm

    Wow. 13 races and how many Disney medals? Including the coveted Coast to Coast medal. I noticed Bobby didn’t have the medal as well. Did he not run in WDW this year? Still, congrats to both.

    • Heather says

      September 3, 2012 at 8:00 pm

      I ran princess bobby did not, but he will get his medal at wine and dine!

    Congrats, Heather – what an accomplishment. This makes me even more motivated and excited to finally sign up for a half and to stop being scared! Enjoy the rest of your time in Disneyland! 🙂

    INCREDIBLE! Congrats, sweetie! So proud of you!

    I don’t run, so I have never raced 😉

    I have placed in 2 different 5k races, but only because hardly anyone was in my age group! 🙂

Allow me to de-influence you. 💁🏻‍♀️ Sometimes we Allow me to de-influence you. 💁🏻‍♀️

Sometimes we (myself included) all need a little reminder that this app shows short snippets of the entirety of someone’s day and life. No one wants to post the boring, the ugly, the sad, but it’s there. 

Be careful not to compare your life with the people you see online. A lot of the things you see are inaccurate or a stretch of the truth, or just the best of the best. That’s not reality and I want to make sure no one thinks that I am ever trying to portray some perfect life that doesn’t exist. I’m a hot mess 99% of the time, and that’s ok! 😜

I sometimes am still waiting on an adult to walk into the room to tell me what to do….and then I remember I AM the adult. 🤣

When we get down to it, we are all very similar. I love you guys.

From laying out my workout clothes to packing my daughter’s basketball bag… and yes, remembering my vitamins — staying proactive just makes life run smoother.

But I realized it shouldn’t just stop with me. My dogs are part of the family too. 💛 So when I’m grabbing our wellness essentials at select Walmart stores, I make sure to pick up our NaturVet pet supplements right from the Pet Health aisle.

At home, it’s simple: I get my vitamins and supplements, and they get theirs. Staying a step ahead means taking care of all of us — two-legged and four-legged. 🐶✨
