I ordered a pair of Ratatouille “Little Chef” mouse ears from an Esty site called ShimmeringEverAfter back in August in the hopes they would arrive in time for Wine and Dine and lucky for me they arrived before the estimated November date.
This is the same shop I bought my beautiful Dopey ears from. Her products are the absolute best.
It’s hard to believe I am halfway through the Dopey training plan. This week I’m still recovering from the weekends long run (13.1 miles) so my first run was a little slower than usual. I have discovered I’m not eating enough before my long runs. I was hungry into the next day after this weekend. I’ve decided to start a food log to make sure I have enough calories – good calories, not junk food.
I’ve finalized all my dining options for Wine and Dine and sadly did not get all the locations I wanted. Yak n Yedi was all sold out and had to book a late evening time slot for Oga’s cantina and the night prior to the half marathon. I’m continually checking in the hopes I can snag an earlier time on a better day. I also wanted to get into the brand-new Space 220, but alas that will have to wait for another Disney trip.
September is nearing a close and the fall/winter season is quickly approaching. I have two big craft shows coming up, a friend visiting from Texas and then the holidays. My training plan is increasing in miles and added days of training, I’m going to have to be much more diligent in my organization if I want to get everything done and not lose my mind in the process. Just kidding, I love being busy. If I’m not going 100 miles an hour with my hair on fire…. Then I’m just bored.
This week our beloved General Manager told us he was leaving to take a job in Los Angeles. After the initial shock wore off, panic and uncertainty set in. Our Club is run by a Management Company so an interim GM arrived Thursday (same day as my training run). I made sure to dress nicely, I even put on a pair of nylons, haven’t done that since the pandemic started. I waited all day to meet my new boss. 5:00pm rolled around and a thought, well maybe tomorrow. Our offices have a shared bathroom, so I went in and changed into my running clothes, opened up the door and guess who was standing there? Yep, the new guy. Great impression I made. YIKES!
I’m finding that after using an interval timer for so many years, I think I’ve trained myself that I need to take walk breaks. This is starting to worry me, so this week I am concentrating on running more. I increased my ratio to 4 minutes run/1 minute walk. I want to be able to run without stopping for a full 4 miles before heading to Wine and Dine.
Recipe this week is from the Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook – Blue Milk vs Green Milk
Since I may not get to Oga’s cantina because the late booking time, we decided to hold our own taste test and see for ourselves which Milk, the Blue or the Green we liked the best! Anytime I can break out my ice cream machine is a good day. Both were very tasty, however we thought the Green milk was far better, maybe because I am a fan of Orange Juice over Pineapple juice. But if you mix them both together, this was by far my favorite.
