\"IMG_2102.JPG\"<\/a>Last week, I also ran the Castaway Cay 5K.\u00a0 This was my second running of this “race,” and I will admit, the only reason I was so gung-ho to run it was because of the rumor that all racers would receive the new medal.\u00a0 (Rumor confirmed.)<\/p>\n

We didn’t have the world’s best weather for our cruise last week.\u00a0 We cruised on the Disney Dream from Monday til Friday.\u00a0 Monday and Tuesday were nice, and I spent some time in the sun those days.\u00a0 Wednesday, we arrived at Castaway Cay and the weather was ominous.\u00a0 Lots of clouds, lots of wind.\u00a0 We were convinced it was going to rain.\u00a0 So convinced, in fact, that rather than bringing all of our beach gear with us, we planned to head back to the ship after the race to change.\u00a0 We were afraid that we would end up drenched.<\/p>\n

Who is this we I speak of?\u00a0 Well, I convinced my dad to run with me since he’s training for Goofy, and my sister and mom joined in as well.\u00a0 My brother and SIL opted to sleep in.\u00a0 Lazy bums.<\/p>\n

I planned to go out and run my 1:1 run\/walk pattern.\u00a0 I was finally no longer sore from the weekend’s half, so I figured I could push.\u00a0 Thankfully, it was much cooler than it was when I ran this in 2013.\u00a0 One benefit to the gloomy weather.\u00a0 Dad decided to try to run with me.\u00a0 He’s not a big runner, having mainly walked half marathons, but he does spend a bunch of time on his rowing machine, so he’s in good shape.<\/p>\n

Poor guy didn’t know what he was in for.<\/p>\n

We completed the first mile in about 12 minutes.\u00a0 This was perhaps a bit too fast for Dad, as I was jabbering away and he was focusing on breathing.\u00a0 This is why you train, friends.\u00a0 You CAN race without training, but you won’t like it.\u00a0 So we slowed down a bit and Dad stopped swearing every time my watch beeped for the end of a walk break.\u00a0 Caitlin was not too far behind us and Mom walked the race with a friend she made on the course.\u00a0 She even had her umbrella with her, just in case.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the rain held off and we all got our fancy drinks and fancy medals.\u00a0 Dad and I finished in about 39:30, which is fabulous for a 5K, and awesome for a fun run.<\/p>\n

\"DDR-150218-Fresh_Catch_8x10-15886841\"<\/a>So it remains true – I can’t go on vacation without a race.\u00a0 But this one was a lot of fun and we got it in before the rain started.\u00a0 Not the ideal beach weather, but a pretty fun day nonetheless.<\/p>\n
