This is the 5th year for Rock N Roll New Orleans and I can’t wait for a beautiful new medal to add to my collection. Oddly enough, this will also be my 5th Full Marathon!
Last night, I put this together – it’s fun to look back and see the changes that have been made over the years. Apart from runDisney, Rock N Roll NOLA is second favorite on my list. I find it fitting that the Disney World Half Marathon was my first half and Rock N Roll Mardi Gras was my second half. :0)

How was your weekend? Did you run a long run? Have you ever run a race every year since the Inaugural one? (I still can’t quite believe I have!)
Have a wonderful day!!
That is awesome you are a legacy runner. I don't think I will ever be one, since the only race that I have run as an inaugural race is Dumbo Challenge. I had an easy training weekend with just 11 miles after the Dopey simulation the week before....getting so close now!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! You have put a lot of miles into your training...I know you're going to get through Dopey with flying colors! Can't wait to follow along with your journey! Excited for you and Christine!!
DeleteI was so bummed when princess fell at the same time as RnR and I had to miss last year :( Hoping to make it this year.
ReplyDeleteThat was sad! We missed you!! Hope to see you this year!!
DeleteLOVE you Karen! I am super excited to run RNRNOLA for my 1st Full since it was my first Half in 2011 and even more excited you will be there. I would like to find a pacer for the race to keep me in check. If can do it under 5hours Ill be happy. I am hoping for good race day weather!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you again!! Excited for you! I'm hoping for good weather, too!
DeleteThat's cool that you started running RnR Nola since the beginning! Besides Disney, my favorite race is also the RnR series (VA Beach). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAwesome...love RnR races!!
DeleteThat medal IS gorgeous. They do an amazing job with the NOLA medals. I hope they do something special for you legacy runners :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abby I think so too! I saw that Fred is one, also! Guess we will see what happens! :0) You should run it one year...it's a lot of fun!
DeleteThe NOLA RnR looks like a lot of fun. I'd love to do it but the earliest I could do it is 2015, so maybe? Good luck with the rest of training!
ReplyDelete2015 isn't too far away! :0) It's definitely a fun race! Thank you, Lesley!
DeleteThe only race I've done since the inaugural is Tinkerbell. Two years! The third is in January. I'll hold on to it as long as I can, but with the rising cost and the fact that it's filling up faster and faster...who knows? Good luck on your NOLA!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I know what you mean about the cost...seems like each Disney race is more and more expensive than the last. Crazy!
DeleteThank you!! :0)
That is amazing that you are a legacy runner! Totally jealous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! I never thought I would still be running races 5 years later!
DeleteSo cool that you have run it every year. I am looking forward to seeing NoLa for the first time.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to love it, Abby! Can't wait to meet you! :0)
DeleteI am no legacy runner, would love to do RunDisney Marathon weekend every year, but those trips get costly! So cool that it's your 5th year!! Love it ;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! It can get crazy expensive! Thanks, Sarah!
DeleteThat's so cool that you are a legacy runner! Sounds like it's going to be a fun race :)
ReplyDeleteKaren @karenlovestorun
Thanks so much, Karen! I'm excited to be back in NOLA again!
DeleteYou are so inspiring Karen! Good luck on your upcoming long run and the RnR race!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jewell! That's really sweet of you to say! :0) Happy New Year!
DeleteThat is pretty neat! I have not run any races every year, I had up until this year run a couple every year (3 years) until I got derailed by stupid injuries. Have fun at your race!
ReplyDeleteUgh injuries...hopefully you're back on track soon. Happy New Year, Christy!
