Five Fitness Snapshots
1. My Little Runner!
This will have it's own post to come, but I had to start with a picture of my little runner. She had so much fun and we are so proud of her.
2. My First "Real" Running Shoes.
When I finally took the running plunge, I did what everyone said. I went to my running store, got fitted, tried on a bunch and picked the ones that felt best. Of course, I had to pick a stand out pair. And now, they've been retired into an every day shoe.
3. My Moment in runDisney.
This picture was my short lived moment of runDisney fame. I was featured on the runDisney blog (and reappearing recently on their Facebook page for princess costumes) with Elissa and Princess Meridave. It was a proud moment. Still love the kilt.
4. Donald with Donald.
My first half, my huge goal, was the 2014 Walt Disney World Half Marathon. The bling earned is a Donald medal. After which, I was sure to get a photo op with the duck himself in Storybook Circus. Man, I love Disney.
5. My First Finish.
And we end where it began. My first race was the Rockstar 8K. Like, first race EVER. Read about it here. My first race down the road to being hooked.

The Donald photo is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Also took some with Goofy wearing my Goofy runDisney New Balance shoes. He seemed to like them. They didn't have his size though.
DeleteI love the "Disney moment". We are also huge runDisney fans and will be there for Tower of Terror in a couple months!
ReplyDeleteWe're huge Disney / runDisney / everythingDisney fans. That's awesome about ToT. We're planning on that one next year as a birthday gift for my daughter doing a trip.
DeleteAdorable picture of your daughter from the Firecracker 5K! Did you make the tutu :)
ReplyDeleteMy wife actually did. Did a great job I think. And was tricky and did snaps on the elastic, so can expand it and add more pieces as get bigger too if she wants. Plus it was easier than sewing the elastic together.
DeleteThose are great! No wonder your daughter had such a great time in that awesome tutu!
ReplyDeleteShe was dressed for the occasion.
DeleteI will be running my first Disney race next year and I am super excited! I am hoping it will be as fun as I think it will be. Looks like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic. The whole race weekend was great even when we weren't running. Like everything Disney, they do it big and in style. Pair that with my love of the parks, and couldn't help but have a blast.
DeleteOMG, your little runner is precious!! :) Love that photo. Congrats to her on her race!
ReplyDeleteThanks. We had to take her medal with us everywhere that day. And it needs to be on a shelf she can reach at home so she can grab it at any time. Haha.
DeleteI love seeing runDisney moments! I wish I would take more pictures at those races :)
ReplyDeleteYeah. I took some during the race, but my camera was having issues with lens getting a little foggy or water on it because the cover part wasn't closing so not as many good ones as I would have liked. I did buy the pics from MarathonFoto, as expensive as they were because it was my first. We always load up the PhotoPass in the parks though.
Deletelove your disney run pics and of course the pics of your daughter. adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks. She gets that from me. ;-)
DeleteYour daughter is SOOO adorable! And I love all your pictures, especially all the firsts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I didn't have a lot to share for the week, so thought this a good way to use pictures instead.
DeleteYour daughter is so adorable - love that photo (and all of the others)! Who doesn't love Disney/runDisney? That's really cool that you were featured on their site :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we were walking into the corrals and a photographer asked if he could take our picture and our response was "Of course!". Thought maybe we'd end up on Facebook album or something for them but we popped up on the blog itself. Was very cool.
DeleteYour daughter is adorable-I miss that age!
ReplyDeleteThanks. She's a cutie. Handful but a cutie.
DeleteGreat pictures! I love that my youngest has run in two races already and loves to put on one of my bondibands and race around the house (because apparently if you put one on, you must be going to run, lol).
ReplyDeleteOf course you must be going to run. My daughter has her "super fast shoes" which are new ones we got her just before her race.
DeleteThat first picture...adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLove the disney pictures !
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was so much fun. Can't wait to run one again.
