Over the past few days we have enjoyed reading about how everyone spent their holiday and their accomplishments for 2015. We didn't really do a look back per say, but we did create a race scrapbook of all our races for 2015.
So remember all those things I wanted to accomplish over holiday break? Well, here's how that went down.
Haircut- yes!
Nails done- Finally got my toes done, fingers are still up for debate!
Cleaning and organizing the hall closet- Big fat NO on this one but I did clean out and organize an upstairs closet, so I am pleased with that.
Read my magazines- I am happy to report that I did read one Better Homes and Gardens magazine cover to cover and I successfully completed the crossword puzzle in the July issue of Women's Running ( see I told you I was way behind on my reading). I was hoping to read more but I'm sure there will be some snow days in my future and I'll dig those magazines out again!
General Housework and Laundry- I feel good about this one. I cleaned several times and even have my Christmas decorations taken down. I wanted to make sure my house was back in order before I left for Florida.
One thing that was not on my list to do over holiday vacation (only because I REALLY thought I would have done it before the holidays) was put together our race outfits for this weekend!
Lacey will wear this Jasmine inspired outfit for the half. I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out considering that we put it together with things we found around the house. Yes, we've had the idea for a while but we only knew that she had the top and I had the bottom. Talk about waiting till the last minute to put everything else together!
Lacey and I both will be wearing this outfit for the Mickey marathon. I have to be honest in that I'm not loving this outfit. I had an idea in my head several months ago and have not been able to find the correct shirt so this is what I came up with. Although this looks like the same skirt we wore last year, it is not. This one is actually red dots and last year's skirt was pink dots. Not very creative but unless I come up with something else in the next day or two, this is it. Actually I'm thinking about even ditching the running skirt and wearing shorts EXCEPT I love the pockets that the running skirt provides. It's much better than running 26.2 miles with a running belt.
What do you think of the outfits? Tell us something you did over the holiday! -M
We'll also be linking this post up with the gals from Tuesday's on the Run.
Cute outfits for the race ladies, and best of all, it they consist of running clothes instead of being a costume. I only wore a costume once for a 5k and it was tough to run in. Good job on tackling some of your to do list around the house. I have a list to do this week since I don't leave for Disney until Friday. Hope to see you both over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHope to catch up with you as well! We'll be sure to text you!
DeleteLOVE the Jasmine outfit! That is so perfect for Lacey! :) Have a GREAT time this weekend! Wish I was going to be down there. -C
ReplyDeleteI thought it was perfect for Lacey too, especially since she haas dark hair and skin!
DeleteThe outfits are great. I love running skirts. I wish I had my Christmas decorations down, way to be productive.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Even though I didn't rest as much as I wanted, it was a productive few days off!
DeleteI think the outfits are adorable!!! I want to come run with you :-))) Good luck and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe outfits look great! And I would definitely be tempted to stick with the skirt for the pockets too.
ReplyDeleteThat's the main reason I love Running Skirts, the pockets!
DeleteHave fun at the race! I'd love to do a Disney half some day:)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely put a Disney race on your list of things to do!
DeleteI like both outfits... you two are always the cutest at the Disney races!!!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to hear all about it & see your pics!!!
Awww Thanks Rebecca! I hope we have only positive things to report back on!

Thank you Kristy! I can barely contain my excitement!
DeleteI think the outfits are cute - you are always so creative with them!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelley! I can't believe I waited till the last week to put them together. That's certainly not like me!
Deletei love the jasmine outfit very cute! if you dont love the outfit dont wear it, when i do that i always get self conscious and obess over it rather than focusing on the race at hand...girl problems am i right :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to take some running shorts as well. We'll see if the skirt makes it to the race..lol
DeleteI LOVE the Jasmine outfit, and both are just SOOO cute. Have fun and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. I thought the Jasmine outfit came out pretty well!

ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! I'm hopeful that things will go well. We have lots of fun things planned!
DeleteBoth outfits look really cute! Good luck with all the races :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lesley! I really like the Jasmine one!
DeleteI ended up being VERY productive yesterday but for the most part I just lounged around over break! Your race outfits are very cute! I can't believe your race is so soon!
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I'm so excited!
DeleteGood luck! The race outfits are adorable. Happy New Year to you both.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny!
DeleteGlad you got so many things checked off your to-do list! It feels great to start fresh. Love your Disney outfits! I like the dotted skirt! Have a great race weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to get things accomplished before I leave on vacation. I don't know why that makes a difference, but it does!
DeleteThanks Karen! We've enjoyed putting race outfits together thus far!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend, ladies!!! I think the outfits are ADORABLE and you are both going to have a BLAST!!! Can't wait to hear all the details!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a productive break! I got alot done last week too, including a haircut:) And I did my own nails again, and they came out ok! I need a pedicure but will probably just wait until it closer to being warm out again.
ReplyDeletei love the outfits-the Jasmine one is so cute! I so wish I was heading back for WDW marathon weekend but not this year-next year, I am totally in though!
ReplyDeletei also got my christmas decorations all taken down and just took the ones down at work as well
Both outfits are super cute! You are always so creative! We spent most of our spare time working in the garage so I don't have the Christmas tree down yet! Good luck at Disney!
ReplyDeleteI like the running outfits! I wish I had the creativity to come up with something like that, don't be so hard on yourself! Good luck on your races, ladies!
ReplyDeleteI love the Jasmine one. I would wear that on a night out haha
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great holiday break...and how awesome that you'll be off to WDW so soon!! I love your race outfits. They both look fantastic. Have a wonderful time at WDW!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited that marathon weekend is almost here for you! I love both outfits--your outfits are always the best! I also had a long vacation but am pretty sad it's ended, ha ha. I did manage to go through years and years of old cooking magazines to flag recipes, which was a big win for me. Have a fun time at WDW!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the outfits are cute! I ran one WDW half and outfits weren't a thing then. Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend! I'm looking forward to the recaps!
I'm so sad I'm not doing WDW marathon weekend this year!!! But I'm pretty sure it's going on the calendar for 2017. Have a blast, ladies!!!
ReplyDeleteI think your outfits are adorable!! I'm going to be looking for you guys this weekend! :-D
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!! Hope you girls have a great time!! Can't wait to hear all about it!
