[...] like the Firecracker 4-Miler on July 4th, I run this race every year…and, back in 2011, it was my very first [...]

There is NOTHING better than ice cream after the race. I know exactly what you mean…I’d much rather race for the cold-weather holidays.

What a fun time!! There is something special about running your first race every year, I do the same thing! :0) I am glad you had Todd with you for it this year – y’all look so happy!! (ps – love your Bondi Bands!)

Ice cream sounds so good after a hot race. I don’t do well in heat at all, so I let others do the 4th of July races. I’ll do frigid races for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but hot temps keep me on the sidelines.

AGREED! How awesome would that be?!

Oh, I know EXACTLY what you mean. It took everything I had not to register for Princess for 2015. It’s such a nostalgic thing for me, I wish I could run every year! But I’m doing exactly what you’re doing: focusing on Goofy!

Every race should end with ice cream and/or a snow cone!

I do W&D every year (this year being my 3rd). But it gets harder and harder for me to not do the Princess every year since that race was my first. I must be strong and not register! I must focus on Goofy!

Thanks, Meranda! Haha, that’s what I said. Is it wrong that a large part of the appeal of this race is the free goodies afterwards?

I am ALWAYS happy to talk race costumes! There’s nothing that excites me more than having a “theme,” haha — just let me know what you’re thinking.

We probably won’t be doing RnR Philly again, although it was a lot of fun! Todd will be running the Philadelphia Marathon this year, though. Since I’m all wrapped up in NYCM, we’ll have a (sort of) light half marathon racing schedule this year. In October, we’re doing Hershey, and I’m doing Tower of Terror, and that’s pretty much it.

That’s the best (well, aside from the humidity)! It was a little bit rainy that day, too, but we didn’t get anything more than a light drizzle for the race…the storm didn’t come until several hours later.

Hahaha, good to know I’m not the only one who’s a tad behind schedule. And I’m not even going to pretend like the ice cream wasn’t a huge highlight of the day…
