Thanks, Karen! ME TOO! Running in the cold is one thing…but this is just getting ridiculous!

Way to go, Jen! You’re doing great with your training! I really hope Spring visits you soon…I like running in the “cool” but not the freezing…that’s miserable!

You get used to it after awhile. I almost don’t remember what it was like to run in anything over 45 degrees, haha.

Oh, believe you me…I am DEFINITELY taking advantage of that!

great job training in the cold-I dont know how yall do it!

and just a heads up, they changed the sign up procedure for disney races. When you initially register, you just have to say if you will finish under 3:15 or not. Then later on you will submit your results so you have time for corral placement! I also think it will help people from “cheating” and lying about their finish times in Disney races. I am so excited to sign up for wine and dine next week!

Boo for expired PRs! Honestly, I constantly feel like I’m starting all over again because I pretty much fall apart after every big race and want NOTHING to do with running. (This time is no different.) You can and WILL get back to where you were!

I am also in the same boat as you. My PR will expire soon. I got that PR prior to being injured over a year ago. Since I am not healed yet, I feel like i’m starting over and another PR for me may be a long way aways!

FOR SURE! And, yes, walking outside and being hit by this insanely cold gust of wind is enough to make you want to head back inside…but, honestly, to me it’s STILL better than running on the treadmill, lol.

Thanks, Shannon! Oh, that’s awesome. I grew up in Kenilworth, so not far at all from Scotch Plains!

We’re planning on signing up for the Wildwood Half…I’ll bet it’s going to be a lot of fun! I didn’t even know the wristband was included, haha. You will LOOOOOOOVE Wine and Dine.

EXACTLY! Not that completing a half or a full isn’t a HUGE deal, but I’ve definitely gotten to that point where I’m not getting that same “high” just from finishing…I really, really want to work on seeing improvement.

I’m sure both races will be awesome! For me, I’m not so much into the Avengers…and I really, really enjoy eating and drinking…so it’s an easy decision.

Thank you! Glad to know there are others stressing about that coveted Disney corral placement, haha. So glad the Princess went so well for you guys, looking forward to reading about it!
