2:32 is a great time for you..."Cripey", <br /><br />2:32 is a great time for your first half! I would be THRILLED with that time. Finances and work only allow two trips a year, usually one to DL and one to WDW. We are going to WDW in October during Food and Wine, and then again for the Princess Half! Good luck with all your races and training!Amy Smithhttp://pumpkintoprincess.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-54001560449853098792011-06-02T12:16:56.297-04:002011-06-02T12:16:56.297-04:00I live in TX so I'm a little closer to WDW, bu...I live in TX so I'm a little closer to WDW, but pretty much in the middle of the two...the flight to DL is a little longer and a bit more expensive though :) My goal for the Princess was to complete it, feeling good and with a smile on my face. I finished in 2:32:09, which was better than I had predicted so I was ecstatic about that...and I finished feeling great!! For DL, my training goal is to push a little harder, maybe run a tad faster or spread my walk breaks out some...right now I run 1 mile/walk 100 steps, repeat. I might try run 2 miles/walk 100 steps this time around. I know I can run 3 miles with no breaks, I just don't know if I can do that pattern for 13 miles yet. It's hard to focus on time right now because my training for the DL race will be 100% in the summer time...and it's SUPER hot and humid here already, so that really takes a toll on my pace. For the Wine & Dine I'm definitely going to just have fun. My BF runs as well, much faster than me and with no walking, and we decided we would run this one together, stop for as many pictures along the way as possible and just have fun. Plus, it's only a month after DL, so it would be hard for us to go all out for both races. Then for Tinkerbell, I think I will try to focus more on shaving some time off my pace...I'll have a full 4 months of training time and it will be during the fall and winter so the weather will be on my side :) Oh, by the way, I'm "Cripey" on the DIS if you were wondering or ever wanted to PM me about anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-76097729767460084462011-06-02T10:13:21.668-04:002011-06-02T10:13:21.668-04:00Are you closer to DL than WDW?

I've included the link to the FN page. It's really easy and sometimes I just bake the salmon the way the recipe says and throw other stuff together with it.

Salmon is filled with vitamins and minerals that are great for you and the Food Network has a lot of recipes for salmon. It's also very filling so the portions can be small.Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-9299152971445178632011-06-01T18:28:59.663-04:002011-06-01T18:28:59.663-04:00Thanks for the advice.

I had a suggestion for you though...have you ever tried using ground turkey in your spaghetti rather than beef? I switched a couple of years ago to be healthier and I honestly now prefer it over ground beef in spaghetti whether I am being health-conscious or not...it tastes delicious. I season it with a few spices, mostly sage, which is great with turkey, and the rest just comes from the jarred sauce. Good luck on your fitness quest to the Princess run...I ran it this year as my first and had such a blast...and now I'm hooked and registered for 3 more Disney halfs. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-64905087266604497122011-05-31T13:56:55.657-04:002011-05-31T13:56:55.657-04:00Great Job!
