#RnRNashville Expo with @BibRave

I was given an entry into RnR Nashville as a BibRave Pro for the purposes of a review. Check out BibRave.com to read and write race reviews!


We drove into Nashville on Friday morning. It's an easy drive, although it's about 7 hours long.



RnR expos have always been my favorite, there is so much to do there! The hubs dropped me off and went to park the car. I zipped through packet pick up and got my tee.



I walked around the expo, grabbed some fun reusable Solo Cups from Publix, and hit the quick line for my parking pass. Y'all, this was the best $15 I ever spent. More about that tomorrow.
I was waiting for a fellow MRTT leader to bring me a tank I ordered, and the hubs had arrived, so we decided to go through again.





I've never gone over to Toyota, but this year we own one so we went. When the hubs showed his key fob they gave us a reusable cell phone battery! Then they told us what other free stuff they had.....









Toyota rocks! Watching them make that headband took about 60 seconds and really made my whole day!

Afterwards we split, I had to get my tank from my fellow leader.... we saw this in the way out...



That can't be a good sign! Off to Music City to bar hop, listen to country music, and go shopping....



Where was your favorite expo?

Thursday Training Update

It's been an exhausting week, and I think I may have missed last week, but here goes!
Thursday I was at the parks in Disney. I started with the expo, and then hit the Animal Kingdom. Tons of walking!



Friday morning was the 5k, followed by a trip to the Magic Kingdom.





Saturday was the 10k and Hollywood Studios.





Are you sensing a trend yet? Sunday was the half marathon and then back to the Magic Kingdom with my friend Joy.





Monday I flew home and went to Girls on the Run.

Tuesday I was lazy.



My friend Jessica made that. I love it.

Wednesday was Girls on the Run again, our practice 5k!



Lots of running and nothing else! Next week I will return to 9 Round and yoga!

What was your favorite workout last week??

Dark Side 10K

Yikes, my feet ache.
Two down, the big one to go. I was up at 3 this morning to get on the bus by 3:30. There were plenty of busses, at least 5, because last year they didn't have enough. Fine by me!
I got to the start area and made a dash for BB8. I was NOT messing around this time. I was girl on a mission. And a long line!



So worth it though, he's so cute and I knew I wouldn't stop during the race, whether he was there or not!



After that I really only had enough time to pee and look for my corral. Today we were shown the original preview for Empire Strikes Back, it was fun to see the trailer as if it was a new movie just coming out.
We started way faster than yesterday. The corrals were let out in larger groups so it moved much faster.
My goal today was 14 minute miles and I pretty much nailed it. I think my average was 14:07, and I took a few extra walk breaks because it was humid.



The course brought us through Hollywood Studios and ended in EPCOT.



It was a fun course and I got to see a few friends who were spectating...





I was hoping to beat my previous 10k Disney race time of 1:55 and crushed it with a time of 1:27 so I'm pretty happy about that. Plus, I got a selfie with this guy just before the finish.



I loved every minute and can't wait to run again tomorrow, my 50th half marathon!

Dark Side 5k and Flat Mama Friday

Holy heck, am I tired!
The alarm went off at 3:30, and I was on my way to the bus by 3:45.



I met up with some Disney running friends from Team Expedition Runners on the line for Jabba the Hut and stuck with them until it was time to hit the corrals. My Jabba pic hasn't come through yet, but here is Boba Fett...



I also ran into my friend Sylvia... she saw me as I walked away from BF...



After a preview of the next movie and a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem, the corrals started being released. I was in D so it took awhile!





The race went fast! So many things to see and do, and I had such a good time!



I didn't stop for any characters since the lines were so long! I promised myself I would walk most of it. My average mile was 13:07. Oooops.



I'm still waiting on more of the official photos, so I'll post those at a later date! Some came through, but not all. I did get some cute ones at MK afterwards....





And here is the Flat Mama for tomorrow's 10k...
