Dopey Challenge Race Report – Half Marathon

Dopey Challenge Race Report – Half Marathon

After 3 nights of early wakeups and late bedtimes, I was so tired the night before that Shawna says I fell asleep mid-paragraph! And hence missed the start time memo. It was a hurried departure and we got slightly stuck behind merging lanes of traffic. But that helped us get a spot closer to the entrance! So all was good.  For the half marathon, we went as Pirates ready to have a jolly good time! The weather turned from hot…

Dopey Challenge Race Report – 5K

Dopey Challenge Race Report – 5K

We started off the Dopey Challenge 2015 with the 5K race on Day 1. The race was starting “only” at 6:15am, so not so bad wakeup time.  The weather ended up being cold and windy! Luckily, the costumes I had designed was going to be ok even with layers and layers inside! So the Fab 3 layered up to start the 5K. We drove up early enough and huddled inside the JDRF tent with the other supporters.  The 5k starts…

Dopey Challenge – The Week Before

Dopey Challenge – The Week Before

This week is the BIG adventure! The Dopey Challenge starts in TWO days when I shall run a 5k on Wednesday, 10k on Thursday, Half Marathon on Saturday and Marathon on Sunday totaling 48.6 miles over 4 days! I am excited and nervous at the same time. But determined to have a fun time and be strong all throughout. How does nervousness manifest itself? I obsess over the training, or the ONE week that wasn’t as expected. And then I obsess…

Schedule of Races for the rest of 2014

Schedule of Races for the rest of 2014

2 weeks ago, I did not have a fall race on my schedule. Now, I have a heavy schedule of races for the rest of 2014. And in spite of some life changes including my littlest minion starting Kindergarden, I have goals for every one of these races.  I’ll most probably be carried away and add races to this tweak this slightly, but here is my race schedule as it stands for the rest of the year. July 4th: Peachtree…

To Dopey or Not to Dopey Challenge, That is the Question

To Dopey or Not to Dopey Challenge, That is the Question

  Just as I was thinking of what to do next, my running buddies started to talk about the Dopey Challenge! The runDisney website says “Run 48.6 miles of fun in the Dopey Challenge!” I am not exactly sure about the “fun” in running close to 50 miles!! DisneyWorld races start at an insane time in the morning so that is 4 days of 2am wakeup calls. And there will be no real “racing” either of the 4 days. All…

MIA Vacation

I’ve been MIA from my blog a bit !! First it was sickness and then it was sickness mixed with a long awaited trip! We had a magical week, with a bit of tantrums, meltdowns and remnant sickness thrown in. A few teaser pictures before I resume normal blogging posts!

runDisney Atlanta Meetup

  If you can’t go to Disney, then bring Disney to you at the runDisney Atlanta Meetup! That is what #OnTheRoadToDisneyParks was all about and Atlanta was lucky to have the first meetup. Even though I’m not running any Disney events this year, we are going down in December. What better way to get me all extra excited about our trip!!! Amy from Mom’s Magical Miles and I carpooled down to Turner Field, the home of Atlanta Braves (atleast until…
