#princess 5k

Another Disney 5K in the bag. I should NEVER have done this. I’m in PT and I derailed my program. My legs have been killing me for a week. I start PT again this week and they are going to be astonished at what I cant do.

I had this vision that I was going to walk with my sisters and have a great time, which I did, and I mainlined a lot of Advil, but I’m the end it was a mistake.

The Disney 5Ks are amazing fun but you don’t just have to be able to walk 3.1, you have to be able to walk 5 minimum (just getting to and from the walk is a hike in both directions) and I wasn’t near that this year.

So here’s to next year when hopefully I’ll be ready for a 10K which means the 5K will be no problem for me.

I have not really worked out consistently all year. I fell down on that. My friend who got me off the couch 5 years ago has changed her goals and was doing a lot of CrossFit weekends and my other friend who used to walk/run with me is in a messy divorce. I’ve been left to my own devices and without a partner in crime I’ve become sedentary.

I have the Princess 5K in Disney at the end of February and I’m desperate to be able to do the whole thing. At the Disney 5K they don’t sweep you, but they do shut down areas of the walk so you don’t do 3.1 miles, you might only walk 2.4... like that. I want to walk the whole walk.

Today a friend of mine out of the blue invited me to walk and we did two miles. I was a little wheezy on the hill but I didn’t need to rest or stop and I’m surprised that I did so well!!

Yes, you read that correctly. 2015. Not 2016, seeing as how I’m still behind with just about every single aspect of my life. But I’m working on that and making major progress, which I’ll chat about soon. And there’s going to be changes here at my blog, but until then, I’m determined to get caught up with past recaps.

So. Here’s two that I cranked out yesterday evening while Bob had a Justified…

Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2015, I’m IN!

Yesterday, I barely worked, barely wrote, barely did anything productive at all.

And I wore a tiara all day.

Not that I’ve been slacking lately, lounging around in faux diamonds. I’m keeping up with my training for the Baltimore Marathon, and I’m doing July’s Camp NaNoWriMo, where you write an entire novel in a month. (Unlike November’s NaNoWriMo, you can pick your own word count but I’m still…
