3 days before race weekend.

The last 3 days before RunDisney MagicRun Weekend starts.

Monday 9/16

My vacation starts today.

It's doesn't feel like a vacation yet because of all the things I still need to do before we go to Disneyland Paris.

Tuesday 9/17

Did some yoga because my body needs to relax a bit.

It was nice and felt perfect.

Wednesday 9/18

Last things packing for the vacation.

Tonight we are going to Disneyland Paris.

From Thursday till Sunday we are at Disneyland Paris for the Run Weekend.

I will make some post about the trip.

But here you can see the little recap of the 3 days before race weekend and some photos from the weekend.

Sorry!!!

Hi everybody,


Sorry for not updating the blog.


Somehow I got a bit to busy and totally forgot to post 1 week before race weekend.


I will update the blog this week.
Also with the recaps of the races from the magicrun weekend.


Greetings Consueel and my right hand Inge.

RunDisney Tag

I got RunDisney tagged by Running in Make-up, you can find her on instagram and YouTube.
Here is the link to her YouTube Channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSunzTicx9FqaNm30-j6LPA


There are 12 questions in this RunDisney Tag.


Here we go.


1. How did you first discover RunDisney?


I discovered RunDisney a long time ago but it was only in the USA.
In 2017 I was at the sportsbar in Disneyland Paris and there I discovered that Disneyland Paris also had RunDisney.
So there my running journey starts.


2. How many RunDisney races have you done?


I did one RunDisney race in Disneyland Paris and if you count the virtual runs with it than there are 3, the 4th is on it's way and that is the Black Panther 5K for August.


3. What was your favorite RunDisney race or race weekend?


It was my MagicRun RaceWeekend, I only did one race the 10K but I stayed there the whole weekend.


4. What's your favorite park to run through?


Disneyland Paris, it has Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios but it is so close together that it feels like you run through 1 big park.


5. What's your favorite RunDisney Medal?


The only one I got at this point and that is my MagicRun 10K medal from last year.
It's my panic and pain medal.


6. What's your favorite RunDisney shirt?


Also the only one I got and that is the one from the MagicRun 10K from last year.


7. What are 3 songs on your RunDisney playlist?


Run that Race - Dan Auerbach


Try Everything - Shakira
There is a line in this song that is my motto "I wanna try, even though I could fail".


Don't stop believin' - Journey
Always loved this song but than I saw a video by RezRuns, he is dancing and singing with is running buddy and now if I hear this song I Always thing about that video it's fun.
Here you can find that video: https://youtu.be/P_rJZlCU0V8


8. Do you go for a PR at a RunDisney race?


No I'm not a PR lady, I run for fun and I don't like to be totally out of breath, so I don't go for PR's on any race and certainly not on a RunDisney race.


9. Which characters do you Always stop for?


I like all characters so I don't have one I Always stop for, plus I only did one race and I told myself that I would stop for the first character that I saw, because I didn't know how long I had for the 10K plus I didn't know when I would be cut off.
My first character stop in a RunDisney race was Honest John and Gideon.


10. What's your favorite pre/post race meal?


Uhhh I eat everything I don't have something special to eat.
Normally on a training day (bad habit) I don't eat before the run, after the run I love to eat some toast with peanut butter but it could be something else.


11. Favorite costume in which you've run?


I didn't really run in a costume, I did more a Disney Bound style.
I had a Snow White legging and a orange nike shirt and I had a little Snow White from the Disney Animator's Collection on my shirt plus my new RunDisney cap that I got at the Expo.


12. Which costume are you most excited about running in?


I'm creating 3 costumes at the moment, for my 36K challenge in september.
I'm keeping the race theme in mind.
5K: Lion King.
10K: Fearless Princesses
21.1K: is a medal with Mickey and Minnie on it.


So just wait and you will see what I made for the races.

Here you can see my MagicRun Training - 5 weeks before raceweekend where I did the RunDisney Tag: https://youtu.be/CFpjlZDAvyA

MagicRun Training - 4 weeks before raceweekend.

This was a weird week, no that's not it, it feels weird.
I only did 2 runs because of work and the things I needed to do in the house.
I also made my RunDisney Outfits for the MagicRun.


First run was on Wednesday.



Wednesday 8/21


Today was a film day for my last RunDisney Virtual Short Series.
The Black Panther 5K.
Video is not online yet but if will be upcoming week.


Thursday 8/22


Today I didn't do anything with sports, but what I did was sport related.
I made my running outfits for the RunDisney MagicRun.
And I'm totally happy with my running gear for september.
Just love it.


Friday 8/23


This was the day for my last long run before race weekend.
The plan was to do a half but because of constructions on the road I had to change my running route.
It wasn't a half that I ran but it was 18.90K.
It was fun and mom was with me again, sweet mom on her bike.
It was hot but I did it.
I will do long runs but the runs will be around 10/13K.
The pace of this run was: 8.45 per 1K.


Saturday 8/24 and Sunday 8/25


Were my rest days after the long run and I did some little things for the park days at MagicRun Weekend.




You can find the recap of this training week on my YouTube Channel: ConsueelRuns.
You can see my running outfits!!!!

Almost, almost, wow it is almost MagicRun Weekend.
For months you want raceweekend to be here, and now it's almost there, that you can go to the startline of the race.
Still 3 weeks to go.
Let's make it a good 3 weeks.

What kind of races did I do from 2018 till half 2019?

We are back after a month, we had a lot going on in our private life but now we are back!!!


Here are the  races that I did from 2018 till may 2019.
Under the races you will find a link to the video recap of that race, Januari and May don't have a recap.


In 2018 I did many Virtual Runs but my first real start and finish line was an RunDisney Race.


*September 22, 2018


I did my first RunDisney Race.
The 10K MagicRun.


I did a full trip and race recap on the blog.

 *December 21, 2018


FunRun at Papendal, The Papendal NightRun "Christmas Edition".
My second funrun race and the first one for my friend.

The night before the race I had my last nightshift so if it was a smart move to do a run the next day, I don't know but it was a funrun.

When new year came I said I will do a medal run every month, that is the goal I made for 2019.

*Januari 22, 2019


I did a virtual run in a while.
It was the 5K  "Suck It Up Run" a virtual run by Race The Distance.
Mickey my running buddy (one of my dogs) was with me.


*Februari 2, 2019


My friend and I did the "Apres Ski Run" in our hometown.
It was also an nightrun and it was really fun to do, all the music and lights on the runners.
I love nightruns.

*March 17, 2019


I did the 10K "KLM Urban Trail Amsterdam".
I wanted to do an Urban Trail in 2018 but I was to late to book it or I had to work.
But this year I could do the one in Amsterdam my birth place.
It was a really fun run but it was so weird I had to run through restaurants and cafes.

*April 22, 2019

My first half marathon was on this day, but it went all so diffrent than I had planned.
The weather was so hot and humid that it wasn't going to be ok on my first half.
At 10.45KM I got out of the race, that was the right choice at that point.
I was really sad but it was not safe enough to do the whole 21.1K.

*May 29, 2019

My second Virtual Run of the year, this time for a Rainbow heart with tinkerbell on it.
This race was also from "Race The Distance".


*June, 2019

This month the RunDisney Virtual Short Series starts.
This is the first time I'm doing the RunDisney shorts.
It means your doing a 5K in June, July and August.
