Hi there- thanks for visiting! I’m Emily, and I’m a runDisney addict- the first step is admitting it, right?! Haha! I’m 23 years old and I’m a ‘later-in-life’ Disney World lover.
Together with my sister, Caitlin, I’ve been to Disney 5 times in the past three years (with two trips as kids with my parents.) Three of those trips have been fueled by our runDisney obsession!
I started running in January 2012 with the goal of running a Warrior Dash mud run. Since then this casual hobby has morphed into a lifestyle that includes 1 marathon, 9 half marathons, 6 runDisney races over 3 weekends, and countless other races. I love running but that doesn’t mean I always like it so I’m starting this training journal to help me stay focused on my goals for this year and hopefully connect with more friends here on the DIS!
My current race schedule:
A little sparse but I’m planning on adding some things along the way. I work every third weekend which makes scheduling a little difficult (and easier to do on short notice!)
June 5th, 2016- Local 10k
September 2016- Still trying to pin down a half marathon to attempt a new PR
November 5th/6th- Lumiere’s Two Course Challenge
January 8th- Walt Disney World Marathon
My goals:
I have a list of successive goals that I want to complete over the course of writing this journal.
First- Get a new half marathon PR. My current half marathon PR is from Nov 2014 and won’t be good to register for runDisney anymore. So I want to obtain a new half marathon ‘PR’ (even a decent time is fine, doesn’t have to be a personal record per say.)
Two- Get into better shape. Not exactly sure what my ‘passing standard’ for this is, and not yet sure how I’m going to accomplish this. TBD!
Three- Complete marathon #2 with the subgoals of a) improving my time, b) stopping for a drink in Epcot, and c) stop for a couple of previously skipped character stops!
As the title implies, I’m rebounding from some post race tendonitis in Feb/March that had me sidelined in a boot for a month. I did a lot of stationary biking during that time but I still feel like I’m sort of starting fresh on my running again. So, to accomplish these races and my goals here’s the three step plan:
Step 1- Train for the 10k
Step 2- Train for a fall half marathon plus improve my overall speed
Step 3- Train for the marathon
Easy, right?...right?!
