I am one of those women. I even dressed up as Ariel for Halloween a few years ago. Yikes.
This February my childhood dreams will finally come true. Not really. Well, at least for 13.1 miles. I am so excited to say that I have officially signed up for my first half marathon! Not just any half marathon...the Disney Princess half marathon

In Orlando. Through Disney World. How awesome is that?
I registered for the race and booked our flights yesterday (I am dragging Dan along). The only thing I can't decide is if we should stay on the Disney resort for convenience or stay in a different hotel and possibly rent a car to save money. Does anyone have any experience with that? Any advice to share one way or the other?
Energy Out
I actually made it down to the gym at work over lunch and busted out a short 3 mile run while watching The Parenthood. I had fully planned on running 4 miles, but I think that my body has finally realized that the Christmas cookie intake has stopped and I am now only eating what I need. Because of that, I am going through a "lack of energy" phase. Today I hope to run at least 4 miles.
Energy In
Make sure to scroll down to dessert. I tried a new recipe!
 |
| Snack (3): Fage Greek yogurt |
 |
| Lunch (7): Salad with greens, salmon burger, peppers, carrots, green onion, and sesame ginger edressing |
 |
| Breakfast (5): Special K Bar (5) and pineapple (0) |
 |
| Apple (zilch) |
 |
| Snack: popcorn (3) |
 |
| Dinner (11): taco soup with light sour cream |
 |
| Dessert (9): Banana chocolate chip baked oatmeal Each muffin is 3 points (one not pictured) Click *here* for the recipe |
Daily points (33) + running points (6) - eating points (38) = 1 point. Whew. That was close. :)
Thought for the day:

Have you thought about your princess running costume yet? That's a big part of the princess half. Some day I want to run one with you (and not in KC).
ReplyDeleteYay! That's the half marathon I have in mind also! Although not until Feb of 2013 probably. I'm so happy for you. I would recommend staying on property. From what I've read the property bus system for the marathon is much easier than trying to park and get to the starting line.
ReplyDelete@sally: I have thought about my costume a little bit...maybe a pink tutu and for sure a tiara. I don't want to get too crazy for my first half! Its a date! I will start researching other fun races! ;)
ReplyDelete@Sarah: Really? That is awesome! Good for you! Thanks for the advice. I didn't think about that. Good luck on your training. :)
