I
am absolutely loving this weather! Can we all do a collaborative weather
dance that fall is officially here? It would make me very happy. It's
such a terrible tease if not, but definitely well deserved after that 7
day heatwave. Even though I am NOT a fan of hot weather (again, if you
haven't figure that out) I will admit, I was hoping for the summer to
make me a better runner for The Dumbo Dare Challenge. I'm ok not
sweating
through my clothes and actually enjoying being outside, though.

So, if you're up on the Disneyland meetup hype, you will see my name on the list of people who got one of the coveted spots! I've been waiting for a chance to get into this meetup since I first discovered it 2 years ago. Sadly, I will not be able to actually attend. That flight insurance I swore I bought specifically for this scenario? Yea, can't find it. I really have no one to blame but myself and I'm not really in the mood for that, so we're move on! Surprisingly, I was upset for about 5 minutes and then I got over it. Funny how life works like that. Would it have been great to go? Definitely. Is it the end of the world? No. There is going to be so much to do that weekend as it is that I kind of felt a tad relieved. How could I possibly be that upset? I get to see a TON of my friends and make new ones!
And
on some good race news: I finally decided to pull the trigger on
Rock-n-Roll Philly. I also managed to convince people to come with me!
YaY! I really loved this race when I ran it in 2011. Perfect weather and
a gorgeous course! I really loved that the race took us through
downtown first and then looped us back around. It was also the race I
qualified for the Heavy Medal Rockstar status, and B and I's first
out-of-town experience together. We really loved the city. As soon as I saw the medal, I knew I had to do it again. Bring it on, City of Brotherly love!
What are you blessed with?
Well that is totally a bummer about the #DisneylandHalfMeetUp, I know my sister and I were really hoping to make it in. I wonder if they have a waiting list for when people inform them that that can't attend. It is such a small exclusive group that gets to go to those things! Darn flights and rearranging an already crazy weekend of no sleep and too much running! LOL. Good luck that weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, DJ. You too! From previous years, they have had a waiting list, so I'm sure someone very lucky will be getting notified soon (hopefully!)
DeleteThat's AWESOME that you're doing Rock 'n Roll Philly...you totally convinced my to register, and my BF and I decided to make a weekend out of it. So, I'm officially in! It sounds like so much fun, I can't wait! Maybe I'll see you there! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the meet-up, that totally sucks. This is going to be my first meet-up...still no clue how I made it in, but I'm excited! It does seem like people really go crazy over it, and the weekend is going to be such a blast no matter what! :-D
Ah! Love it! Talking to you convinced me to talk to my friends about it. Thanks for the inspiration :) Hope to see you there and at Dumbo! Have fun at the meetup for me!
DeleteHaha, that's AWESOME. Glad we could inspire each other! I can't wait...for Philly OR Dumbo! :-D
DeleteThis is the perfect example of why I love blogging :) YaY! For awesome races and people!
DeleteI was so excited when I saw your name on the list!! If I didn't make it in - at least you did. Boo, that you won't be able to make it. But you're right - it sucks for a little bit and then you move on. Yay for Philly!! That is an awesome medal!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I'm so sorry to disappoint, I felt terrible! Fingers crossed for Princess? :)
DeleteOh, that's sad you won't be able to make the meet up, oh well, the race will still be great!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the weather has been SOOO much better, I've actually been enjoying runs recently!
Exactly, I still have a lot of running to do!
DeleteI hope we haven't been spoiled and Cali weather is terrible. Fingers crossed!
Another Rock'n'Roll race!!! Yay!!!! I love those. They are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of that temperature. I hear that we are supposed to stay ridiculously hot through the end of September. I just want Fall weather - year round -- well, maybe 6 months, and Spring weather the other 6!
Right? It's been awhile since I've done one.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about the heat :( I agree!
Love the Philly medal. I just hate the that they have some bland ribbons! Not very good branding, in my opinion, but you'd know more about that than me, lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your weather. I'm ready to die in Phoenix right now.
I agree! I think RNR focused on the weight of the medal and completely ignores the ribbon- so maybe it's the "Heavy medal" that's a part of their branding? Still.
DeleteI'm sorry about your weather, but that just means Disneyland will be a breeze!
