Today's Tuesdays on the Run topic is all about our remaining summer running goals.
I have one.
My remaining summer running goal is to run the Castaway Cay 5K on Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. Soon and very soon, we will be out in the Caribbean, enjoying the sweet sound of waves crashing on the shore and I'll have the chance to run this 5K once again.
I've mentioned this before, but it's amazing to see how this race has changed and evolved so much over the years. When I first ran it back in 2009, we had maybe 15 fairly hard core runners that met with a cast member on the gangplank and I was the little newbie runner who had no clue what was going on. Now, runners meet in the Walt Disney Theater and there's usually hundreds of runners that take part in this race on each cruise.
We can't wait to board the Disney Fantasy and take part in all the fun the ship has to offer. I also plan on going for a few training runs on the jogging deck on our at sea days.
Do you have a remaining summer running goal?
It's the Tuesdays On The Run Linkup with Erika, Marcia and Patty.
It's really cool that you get to run that race again, plus it's neat to see the changes with it. Running definitely has spread to a lot more people in the last 9 years!
ReplyDeleteIt really has! I'm super excited to run it again!
DeleteIt's not a summer goal since my race is in October. I hope to have fall weather for that.
ReplyDeleteFall cannot come soon enough!
DeleteOh I am so jealous of your upcoming trip. I have always wanted to do that race. My friend did it last week and she said it was very hot!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it is definitely a hot one! I hear this itinerary has us arriving at Castaway a about an hour later than normal, which means it'll be an hour hotter by the time we start running. Oh well!
DeleteI'll be doing my remaining goal this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteA race in the Carribean sounds divine!
Have so much fun!!
DeleteHave so much fun running that 5k! gosh has it really been that many years already since it got started? Glad to hear its grown into a raging success!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it either!! Thank you!
DeleteI've heard of the 5k but had no idea it was that popular. Well, I should have since all Disney races are popular. Have the race!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy?! The word has definitely gotten out!
DeleteAt some point I need to build my mileage for the Marine Corps Marathon. This has been the summer of failed training for me.
ReplyDeleteYou still have time! :) Best of luck!
DeleteAlthough a cruise isn't my ideal vacation (I'd much rather fly to a single destination and enjoy my time there), running at Castaway Cay is one of the things that appeals to me about doing a Disney cruise. Maybe that'll happen someday!
ReplyDeleteCastaway Cay is so beautiful! We love it there!!
