April 10, 2015 | blogging, fitness, health, runDisney, running

TGIF! I thought it was high time I got back into vlogging, so here is what I am doing next as far as running goes. Sorry if I ramble, remember I haven’t done this in a long time!

    I wish I could say I was doing Expedition Everest! I was unaware that it was the last one until after it sold out. 🙁
    Next up for me is the IronGirl half this weekend and a 10k in May. After that, races are pretty sparse here in FL until the fall. Looking forward to my first Wine and Dine in November the most!

    Wish I’d known about Expedition Everest! I wanted to do it just once but I didn’t realize Disney was getting rid of it.

    I’m doing a race series out of Fort Meade for the rest of the year. There’s six 5Ks and two 10Ks, I believe. I’ve also got the Wicked 10K in VA Beach and my second Avengers Half in November. I’m super excited for the Avengers weekend because my daughter is running one of the kids races.

    • Heather says

      April 13, 2015 at 3:28 pm

      I would love to do avengers!

    I’m doing my first half on April 19th, Biggest Looser in Mobile. After that there are a couple of fun 5ks coming up in May, one that starts and ends at the battleship with a ton of activities planned for kids (one Max would love) and one at Bellingrath gardens that includes a 1k dog walk and after party in the gardens. After that I guess it planning out next big races for fall. Jazz half is on Halloween this year, so not sure if we want to brave New Olreans on Halloween day, any thoughts?

    • Heather says

      Love Jazz half! I think as long as you don’t stay around that evening/night you should be ok

    I’ll see you at Expedition Everest! My wife and I will be walking it (she’s not allowed to run). Like you, I’ve never done this race and knew this was my last chance.

    I am running a 5K with my mom tomorrow! I am really excited, its my first race since last summer. =) The following Saturday I am running a 10K. May 3rd I will being doing my second half in Pittsburgh with my sister and cousins!

    So jealous of all your Disney runs! Running the princess half is on my bucket list!

    • Heather says

    I’m currently training for my first 10k on June 6, and I’m absolutely terrified

        April 13, 2015 at 3:34 pm

        I’ve never run anything further than a 5k race, and I’ve been struggling so much physically since my baby was born. I’m hoping to use this 10k as proof of time for either the Glass Slipper or Princess half in 2016 (I want to do glass slipper, but I’m a little chicken). This race is the closest one to me that is certified, and it’s still 3 hours away. My oldest is hoping to do it with me, which would be nice.

        • Heather says

          April 13, 2015 at 3:56 pm

          You can do it! Have you been upping your mileage?

          • Tristin says

            April 13, 2015 at 5:08 pm

            I am. I’m doing a bridge to 10k app. The race is the first weekend in June, so I should have enough time to make it all the way through the program.

    I’m doing a 5k tomorrow that’s sponsored by a bar. And they’ll be serving beer at 8am at the finish line. Can’t wait! Then I have a 10k in 2 weeks. And I’m looking for another certified 10k in the SE (that’s easy to travel to) from north Florida for my proof of time for Wine and Dine. It looks like I’m mostly out of luck though.

    • Heather says

      April 13, 2015 at 3:27 pm

    Sunday is the Strawberry Strut in Ponchatoula, you should try to do it next year! It’s 1 mile, 5k, or 10k and always the weekend of strawberry fest. I hear it’s usually between 100 and 200 people. I’ll be running it Sunday, probably in the rain!

    I have a 5k tomorrrow (Angels Foundation 5k) and Im excited to run through angels stadium again! Next week I have the inaugural sunset strip half (think the hilly part of the LA marathon on sunset into West hollywood. that huge hill we ran down, we get to go up! eek!). then Inaugural Pixie Dust challenge!! and then a much deserved break until a 4th of july 5k and a Dumbo Double Dare before another break and the NYC Marathon, Wine and dine half, inaugural infinity gauntlet to close out the year

    • Heather says

      April 10, 2015 at 4:23 pm

      Wow you have a lot of races! Jealous! I was so hoping for wine and dine this year.

    I have one last half this weekend, then I’m done for a long while. I’ll be busting butt trying to loose the rest of the baby weight before June. Then I’ll start training for NYC.
    That’s when the fun really begins. lol

    • Heather says

      April 13, 2015 at 3:26 pm

      oh wow nyc!

    I have the Chickamauga Chase 15k next Saturday and then the Peachtree Road Race (10k) on July 4th in Atlanta – yeah, I know, it will be sweltering! Just like in Jackson/NOLA, the race season in North Georgia ends at the first of June and doesn’t pick up again until late September. I need to do speedwork. I’d like to break a 12 min/mile.

    • Heather says

      April 13, 2015 at 3:26 pm

      good luck!

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️

When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we h When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we head to Pigeon Forge Snow. ❄️ #sponsored 

One of our favorite family activities in Pigeon Forge because you can snow tube year-round, rain or shine, without worrying about the weather outside. 

My daughter could do the tubing hill over and over, and the indoor snow play area makes it even more fun. Honestly such a good break from the summer heat. Plus, it’s super close to nearby attractions like Dollywood and several mountain coasters.

Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character e Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character experience: The Plaza Inn character breakfast. Here are a few things to know:

✨ Meet Minnie before you even enter the restaurant and get photos with her + a photopass photographer. 
✨ Food is all you can eat. Minnie waffles, bacon, eggs, pastries, fruit, and more!
✨ Multiple characters visit your table throughout the meal.
✨ Reservations are a must and can book up quickly!

This was such a fun way to start a park day and meet several characters without spending part of the day waiting in character lines.

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro took part in Cork to Fork on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, and every bite felt like a love letter to local flavor. From bourbon-glazed pork belly to a warm cinnamon-bourbon bread pudding that honestly didn’t stand a chance at our table… this was one of those meals you remember.

Mountain views, chef-driven dishes, and whiskey worked right into the menu in the best way. 😋 

If this is what “one stop” on Cork to Fork looks like… I’m curious what the rest tastes like! Head to the website ( 🔗 in bio) to learn more about the trail and download your free digital passport! @tnwhiskeytrail
