I have been so preoccupied with coming up with other blog ideas that I just realized that it has been about a month since I gave an update on my \u00bd marathon training and Girl\u2019s weekend plans!\u00a0 On the running front, I had a major breakthrough on Friday.\u00a0 My running buddy (aka DH) and I ran a record distance of 5.95 miles!\u00a0 Well, okay, it was a record for me, not him, but that is why he is my running buddy.\u00a0 I know that he can keep up with me and not wimp out when I need motivation to keep going.\u00a0 You may wonder why 5.95 miles?\u00a0 What happened that I did not get in that last little bit to make it a whole 6 miles?\u00a0 Well, here is the story in a nutshell my friends\u2026\u00a0 When we left the house our plan was to do our usual 5 mile loop and then be done for the day.\u00a0 I still am not feeling real great about 5 miles and I did not think that I was ready to go further.\u00a0 Well, it funny because somewhere between the 3 mile mark and the 3.5 mile mark (the sidewalk literally is marked so I know for sure this is the point I was at) I got a second wind or something.\u00a0 I have always heard about this mystical endorphin high and maybe that\u2019s what it was, regardless I convinced myself that maybe, just maybe, I could go a little bit further.\u00a0 So at the end of the trail when DH was thinking we were heading home, I pulled a surprise on him and told him we were taking a side street to get in a little extra distance.\u00a0 When we got home I was curious how much that little extra added to our run.\u00a0 Using a mapping website I was able to plug in our starting and ending point and that is when I realized that had I gone to the corner and back, I would have had a whole 6 miles.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 At least I know for next time, right?\u00a0 So the running part is coming along nicely.\u00a0 I still don\u2019t feel like a runner, but then what exactly does a true runner feel like?\u00a0 I am starting to actually enjoy my runs and since I know that I am quite capable of completing my goal of a \u00bd marathon I have no excuse but to keep on keeping on!<\/p>\n
On the Girl\u2019s weekend side of the plans (which is really the fun part) we have had a few fun changes in our plans.\u00a0 One of my friends who is going along is a military dependent and when the new military deal came out we discovered that we could upgrade resorts and still come in at a lower cost than we had originally.\u00a0 So goodbye All Star Movies and hello Port Orleans French Quarter!\u00a0 We also added a friend to the mix so now we are a happy six person group.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good thing that I had the foresight to make dinner reservations for 6 instead of 5!\u00a0 We are adding one more room to our reservation and already making plans to spend more time in the parks since we are also able to take advantage of the 4 day military park hopper ticket, which again is cheaper than the 2 day single park ticket that were originally going for.\u00a0 I am so excited for my Girl\u2019s only weekend to get here!\u00a0 It is all coming together nicely, including the running bit.\u00a0 I\u2019ll keep you updated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
