Roxymama's 5k to Marathon, Time to Collect Another Castle

[roxymama]

So much great in that recap! I loved that you told the pacer basically, "hey, I'm gonna hang with you until I feel like I'm ready to leave you in my dust" and then you did just that! I'm mean maybe you weren't quite that out there in what you said, but that's what I heard. You've done amazing things this year and it's been so fun to see you get faster and more confident. Love that little chocolate plate at the end. YUMMY!

And, I'm really hoping the lottery gods favor us and we can enjoy the magic of porta potties in Chicago.

Haha it was definitely more in the "ummm I think I might do this if I'm able to, we'll just see, I hope I can" cautious roxy voice. But maybe next time I'll say it more like how you imagined it!!!

I hope we can line up for porta potties together in October (a sentence I bet you'd never thought you would read today.)

Awesome job! You earned that chocolate!

And YES to finding a new half marathon to crush.

Oops, you did it again
Played with your pace, and then upped your game
Oh PR, baby
Oops, you played 90's pop
And your legs won't stop
There's chocolate in the end

I'm in some kind of special running mindset right now. I feel like a different runner. Less scared, more confident, less tired, stronger. I'm still no elite but I really like running and running people and training

Love your recap, all of your goal crushing these past few months, and especially this!
No doubt that this translates into the rest of life/work as well...that your running journey has made you a more confident and stronger wife, mother, etc.
Enjoy your well deserved trip to WDW and magical 5k!!

But maybe not for a few weeks (or longer)

WHAT THE WHAT I NEED THAT PLAYLIST!!

 

[roxymama]

WHAT THE WHAT I NEED THAT PLAYLIST!!

I'll just drive over to Ohio now and perform the playlist for you live. Fair warning that I can carry a tune about as well as I can carry an elephant. But I got some sick moves.

Amazing race re-cap! Great job girl!!

 

[michigandergirl]

Have a great vacation!!!

Loving those bows on your shoes!

Sparkle athletic! Same place I got my shoe Wings (schwings) for Tink

I kinda love this pic. Everyone is so happy. We look like it's a photo shoot for women who really love running 9.3 miles. And then there's a pirate.



Also, I'm the one in the crazy pants. The crazy pattern generates warmth.

But I think you’re going on a trip soon, maybe after??

Oh I meant the Ohio pavilion in Epcot.

 

[xjillianpaige]

Congrats! You are living your best life right now - totally killing all the races! I'm inspired!!

 

[Ariel484]

Oh I meant the Ohio pavilion in Epcot.

Only THE MOST popular pavilion in WDW. Not just in Epcot but in all of WDW. I know the other parks don’t have pavilions but still.

Oh gosh that's so nice of you to say! And you might be right about my best life...I did just steal a small piece of my kiddo's day old birthday cake.

Only THE MOST popular pavilion in WDW. Not just in Epcot but in all of WDW. I know the other parks don’t have pavilions but still.

I hear the Chili Whip is a hit outside the Tiki Room this year. You can order it 5 ways.

Love love love!! Great recap and great photo! Congrats on another great race! I always think about doing Hot Chocolate, but it's such a busy time for an overnight and I have a ton of travel coming up with 18yo's college auditions this year. (Barrio in Cleveland less than three weeks away, @Ariel484!!) But Hot Chocolate is still on the list for someday!
