    'The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler Weekend'

    I arrived the day after the race. It was so great seeing everyone wearing their finisher medals (which were gorgeous!) and I had a nice conversation with some folks while waiting for a bus to EPCOT. Seemed like it was a very fun event.

    What did you do?

    Totally agree with this. My Monday at work was very frustrating, so I took out that frustration at the gym. Only wanted to do 2 miles but ended up doing 3.1 and hit a 9:45 min mile.

    Set my distance at 2.75, ended up going to 3.1. Humidity was brutal today. Might try for a longer distance on Sunday after my yoga class.

    What did you do?

    Did a mediocre 2 miles today. Left foot was having some weird cramp, outside of the ankle and in the arch. It started at work today and would come and go. Glad I didn't cramp up during the run but I wasn't feeling 100%. See how things are tomorrow.

    What did you do?

    90 min of yoga today with good hip and quad stretches. This should get me loose for my run tomorrow.

    What did you do?

    3 miles today 12:40/mi. Not a great pace compared to what I was hitting a couple of weeks ago but I'm getting back on track. And I did this run on a full stomach after dinner. Blarg. Sorry to hear about the various toe injuries! I've been told that the bones in the foot break more often than...

    Yoga this morning with a good deal of corework. My plan is to get back on my running routine. I've been a little thrown off since I had my race a few weeks ago. Took too much time off I think. Looks like I'll be setting reminders for myself.

    A half marathon a month in 2015

    What did you do?

    Easy run on the treadmill...3.25mi @ 10:55. I actually beat my 5K time from last week by a minute. I guess the EPCOT loops I was listening to really helped me along, totally tuned out and just ran. Looking forward to yoga tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend!

    Totally just read your report in one sitting. :D Amazing stuff there, Jess! Your pictures have me so jazzed for my anniversary trip in October. So many things I can't wait to see again! I really loved all of your pictures of the Boardwalk area and EPCOT. Also your Animal Kingdom day looked...

    What did you do?

    After 8 weeks of training I managed to PR my 5K on Saturday. 34:10! It was a very hilly course, which I was not expecting since I did barely any hill training :facepalm: and 97% humidity that morning. Took a couple walk breaks but I really pushed it the last .5 I went to a yoga class the...

    What did you do?

    90 minute yoga workshop in the morning, then 3.1 on the treadmill in the afternoon with a new PR (34:20). Gotta say it was a pretty good day for fitness. :)

    What did you do?

    Just finished my Peak Week. Average pace 12:22. Longest run was 6.2mi. Hit a new PR for my mile (10:13). Funny thing is I got faster on Monday (9:48). Couldn't believe it! One more week til race day.

    What did you do?

    PR'd my 10k distance yesterday! Finished in 1:17:53 vs 1:20:35. It was not easy, my knees and calves were not feeling too great by the end. Taper week is coming up and race day is almost here!

    What did you do?

    I've been using the Nike+ Running app and it really seems to help keep me on track. I've only missed two runs (due to illness) since I started training at the beginning of last month. They have a "coach" program for each distance and you can do beginner, intermediate, or advanced. I've been...

    What did you do?

    Week 5 has come and gone, average pace has been 12:38. Did 5 miles yesterday and managed my fastest mile (10:18) and frankly I'm not sure how I hit it, that's like 20 seconds faster than a mile on Monday's run. Needless to say I finished my run yesterday in 1:01:52. Two weeks to go before the...

    Playlist...GUILTY PLEASURE

    "Tank!" by the Seatbelts from Cowboy Bebop, "Closing Time" by Semisonic, and "Love Lockdown" by Kanye West. I always feel just a little faster when these come on. My other favorite is "My Life" by Billy Joel.

    What did you do?

    Done with week 4 of training and the progress is great. Average pace is 12:17. I looked at what I did on Monday (4.01/14:12) vs yesterday (4.26/12:01) and I could believe it. Never thought my comfortable pace would be up in the 11-12 minute range.
