Three Things Thursday

1. RunDisney posted pictures of the medals for the Dumbo Double Dare, Disneyland Half Marathon, Disneyland 10K, and the Disneyland 5K in September. I can't wait to get mine!

2. I registered for another race. I have not ran a 10K in a while. It is a very small local race that is about 2 miles from my house. I guess I can even run to the race in the morning! I have lived in the area for a while now but was never able to register since I had school on Saturdays.
 3. The Long Beach International Marathon announced that the marathon will now start at 6:00 a.m. and the half will start at 7:30 a.m. In the past, the marathon started at 7 or 7:30 a.m. and by the time you finished the weather was really warm. I love races with early starts and I am now thinking that I might change to the full if I can survive training through the summer heat. If not, I am already registered for the half marathon. All I really want is my Beach Cities Challenge medal and this will be the last race I need to get it regardless of distance.

  1. I am so jealous you're doing DDD! Hopefully I'll be back in California one year to be able to do it! You're a racing machine this year! :)

    1. You need to come back to California so we can run some of these races together! I am doing the 13 in 2013 this year so I am trying to find 13 races that fit my schedule!

  2. Disney makes some really great medals!
    I love races that start super early too, especially in the summer.

    1. Disney does know how to put on good races and keep you coming back for more! Races with late start times make me nervous from the start because I am super paranoid about the weather.

    1. I love cute medals! I think I am addicted to Disney races because of the medals. I have wanting to do some of the Disney races in Florida but I have to control my addiction!

  5. Early starts are my favorite too (minus waking up extra early). Good luck.

    Love those medals. I am so, so excited!! I hope I can maintain my fitness over the oven Arizona summer!

    1. I agree. Waking up early in the not so great part of having an early start time. You are doing the Dumbo Double Dare too right? It is going to be so much fun but the races start early!

  6. I love the early start time! I wish Chicago would do that. And those medals are really fun. If got any of them, I'd have to rethink my medal storage policy, which usually involves just stuffing them in my closet on a shelf. :^)

    1. I have a medal rack and a bibfolio for all of my race stuff. I was afraid of losing them so I got organized right away. You should totally get a medal rack so you can see all of your medals to keep you motivated. I keep mine on a wall that I have to pass to get to my bedroom so I never forget my goals!
