Disney Outfits & Tough Chik Winner!

Thank you everyone for your votes on my Disney Outfit... so far between blog readers, friends, and family, Snow White is in the lead.

Check out my post HERE to see all the options and let me know what you think!

I should mention that I got all of the picture collages from google images courtesy of Sparkle Skirts. While I do think Sparkle Skirts are fun & super cute, I haven't trained in them and I feel most comfortable in Running Skirts skirts. So my skirt will not be sparkly, but I'll be putting some bling on my top. And amazingly enough, Road Runner Sports has tank tops in any color I may need. I'm thinking about arm warmers in case its cold. I'm not sure what color would be best for snow white for arm warmers and compression socks?

I almost forgot, but the winner of my Tough Chik giveaway!

I loved seeing how many Tough Chiks there are out there, but there can only be one winner. And that winner is... Hayley @ Climb Run Lift Mom!

I also have some exciting news...

I joined Team Tough Chik!

I still need to send in my bio, but I'm looking forward to being a Tough Chik all year long.

By the way, I killed my tempo run this morning. Knee. Feels. Awesome.

Trying not to jinx it.

Disney Marathon Outfit!

I've been seriously contemplating my running outfit for the Disney Marathon. I know I want to dress with a Disney theme, but I can't pull together the final details. I know I want to write in rhinestones "my first marathon", or something like that on the front of my shirt, and my name on the back. I know I want my outfit to include a skirt from Runnkingskirts.com since that is what I wear for every training run and I love my side pockets for my honey stinger chews. So far, here are my thoughts.....

Minnie Mouse: Red mini dot skirt with a black top & my black CEP socks. Red headband and maybe some ears. Problem... Running Skirts is out of the skirt in a size 5. Anyone have one I could borrow?

Snow white: Yellow Running Skirts Skirt (in stock), blue top & red headband

Belle: Yellow Running Skirt, yellow top, yellow headband, maybe yellow arm warmers if I can find some

similar to this

Cinderella: If the running skirts pool or aqua is a close enough color....

Any other ideas?

What would you choose for me?

Marathon Training Week 12 Recap

Monday- 60 min trainer ride on the bike

Tuesday- Missed my Speedwork run since I was sick with a sinus cold

Wednesday- Missed TRX because of the sinus cold. Managed 1 hour 40 min ride on the trainer while watching the biggest loser marathon.

Thursday- scheduled 10 miles @ PMP... only had time for 8 miles before work.

Friday - Finished up the other 2 miles & threw in 1 more for good measure.

Saturday- Planned on riding the bike trainer and watching Kona Ironman, but instead did miles of walking while shopping like crazy.

Sunday- 13 mile long run. I was so happy since the knee didn't bother me until mile 7, even with tons of hills in Forest Park. I had to take a few stretch breaks, but overall the knee felt a million times better than last weekend, and left me hopeful for the marathon. My running partner S told me she finished her 18 miles in 3:15.... I have a feeling that she may blow me away in the marathon and leave me on my own. I'm trying to decide how I feel about it. At least its at Disney, right?

Nutrition- FAIL. Cheesecake, Cupcakes, Cake pops. OMG I did not do well with eating. My new goal is to cut down on the sweets this week.

Please help me with my running outfit!
