I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD

Hey Everyone!

Call me foolish-but I've put down the money ($170...1/2 marathons are EXPENSIVE (and that's all of them...not just Disney)) and I AM OFFICIALLY RUNNING IN THE 2015 DISNEY PRINCESS HALF MARATHON!!!!!

 
I swear I was hyped just waiting in line to sign up for the race- I got online at 11:00 am and there were 100 people in front of me. IT WASN'T EVEN OPEN 5 MINUTES!!  And then the website started freaking out- I had to redo some pages 3 times each (which RunDisney fixed as soon as they could and then I heard it ran much smoother after that).  When I told my mom I was doing the race she had that tone of "Really?".  I have a lot on my plate this coming year (wedding, wedding planning, auditioning, seeing family, seeing Mike etc) and I think she was concerned that I won't have enough time to do everything.  And maybe I won't...but I know that I can.  And I will.

Running at work is now even more important than it was before because now 3 of my running days are set up for me.  I think that some of my coworkers are waiting to see if and when it stops but I really think that this is going to be a sticking habit for me; I don't share my lunch with anyone so I usually sat by myself doing nothing.  I'd rather be running by the lake than stuck in a building (and I don't think anyone in my family thought they'd ever see me write that!) and maybe...just maybe I will inspire some people to get up and move.  Small steps lead to big achivements and I guess I just feel that we can do more if we chose too.  I am by no means the best balancer; I need to practice singing more, read more plays, see Mike more, visit friends more, and work on visiting family but if I can get even just one part a little more in sync I feel like all of that will eventually find it's groove too.

I hope that I will be able to add some theatre news to this blog again soon but at the moment I am just auditioning when I can and trying to train and plan a wedding (breathe right?).  But at the moment (and a small cry session on Mike's shoulder who was a little bewildered) I am happy with where I am. 

So- anyone wanna come to Disneyworld with me? 

Until next time, keep running strong!

Princess 1/2 Marathon Countdown-216 days away

Efficency

Hey everyone!

So I have figured out a way to make use of my seemingly forever lunch.  My running gear has now made an appearance at work!

This may seem like a duh thing but I didn't think about doing it and I was getting frustrated with my lack of running because I would be tired after work (or lazy...mostly lazy) and with the application for the race around the corner I need to get out more.  But there was a reason that is making me want to stay with it...

People were looking at me like I was crazy...yet they were impressed.

It's a vain thing I know- but I really liked getting the shock factor from co-workers because no one else (that I know of) does this...which I think we should!  I can get in a run (1.5-2 miles), my lunch, change back, and have a few minutes to spare (but I am crazy...and I try to be efficient). I don't think my co-workers think its a thing that will last but it is a thing that I am enjoying and not only for the looks but because the break from "corporate" and get by the lake and in the sun.  It's a nice boost in the middle of a busy day and while I might get a little sleepy in the afternoon but knowing that I got my run in and it is also fun to do it during the work day :) Maybe you can figure out a way to do some exercise during work- I'm no professional but I will say I like the feeling!
