It's Wednesday and...wait, it's Wednesday? When did that happen? I mean I don't mind the week going quickly, but that means the race weekend is that much closer! How much closer? 26 days! Holy cow!
Let's talk training!
Tuesday: 30 minute run
Thursday: 30 minute run
Saturday: 4 miles with Magic Mile
Let's start with Tuesday. I've been riding the wave of getting out for my runs on Tuesdays and LOVING it. However when I woke up this past Tuesday, my hips and lower back were quite angry with me. If being laid up for a month and a half with hip and back pain has taught me anything, it's to not push it when there is discomfort or pain for risk of further injury. I am not able to run without my hips and back being in working order and not in pain. So in order to not make the situation worse, I took the day off from running and let my hips and back relax and workout whatever kinks were in there.

"The Jam" Thursday and some bling!
It's Thursday! Wait...it's only Thursday? Man! Has this week been long for anyone else or is it just me? On Tuesday it felt like it should have been Friday! Well this week is almost over, finally, and that means it's time for another Thursday "jam". But not before I share some news released yesterday.
So back in January I registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend and more importantly, the highly talked about inaugural Dumbo Double Dare Challenge where you run the inaugural 10k race on Saturday and the half marathon on Sunday. If completed, you get the medals for both of those events AND a special challenge medal. Same premise as the Goofy Challenge during WDW Marathon weekend in January.
So for months there has been talk and speculation of what the medals will look like and when they will release the images for them. Well the day was yesterday! I was wondering that since the Everest race had happened recently and there are no other races between that and the Disneyland Half weekend, that the announcement would come soon (don't want to take attention away from pending races). All I have to say is that runDisney outdid themselves with these medals, check these beauties out!

First day of May and lots of news!
Sorry it's been so quiet here the past few days. I did not intend on missing my regular Momentum Monday posting, but I was out of the area (cell & wi-fi reception) until 5pm PST on Monday. So a late night post didn't make much sense when you wouldn't see it until Tuesday. I had no idea I would be unplugged for so long, but my hubby whisked me away to a remote area for the weekend to celebrate my birthday and once I was there, there was no turning back. I literally had to use a pay phone to make a call. A PAY PHONE!!! I haven't seen those in so long!!! We couldn't even dial long distance from our hotel! Talk about remote! But I will go over that later this week when I give my trip recap. Until then, I have some really exciting news!

runDisney does it again...let the anticipation begin!
Some interesting news surfaced and the runDisney groups I'm
part of were blowing up like crazy yesterday. There was a leak of information
about a new challenge being added to the WDW Marathon weekend in January.
The Goofy Challenge has long been reigning as the supreme runDisney challenge having runners run a half marathon on Saturday and a full marathon on Sunday. You get both of the race medals, plus the Goofy challenge medal. Sweet, we all love our bling, right? However, over the years people have been running the 5K that is held on that Friday, as well as the Goofy challenge, creating an "unofficial Dopey challenge". There is no extra medal from runDisney for doing this as this is not an officially sanctioned challenge, though individual runners have taken it upon themselves to create their own medal to commemorate their accomplishment.
However yesterday, pictures were posted of a pricing list for WDW Marathon weekend and along with the Goofy Challenge, an "official" Dopey Challenge and a brand new 10K race was listed.
