Please note: What I’m about to state is my own personal preference in regards to myself and my own running goals. I in no way mean to offend anyone that might think differently.
I briefly considered registering for Dopey, one of the marathons, or the Castaway Cay Challenge. Then I decided that those medals wouldn’t mean the same to me. The sense of accomplishment wouldn’t be there. I don’t expect to ever get a chance to run Dopey or the Castaway Challenge in-person (but you never know). And, I want my first (and most likely only) marathon to be an in-person race. So I went for the Princess 10K. Rapunzel is one of my favorites and I’ve run enough in-person 5Ks and 10Ks by now that I’m good with virtual races in those distances. I briefly considered the Princess half because I love Belle, but I’ve ’only’ run 2 HMs in-person. So I felt like that wasn’t a good idea right now either.
DH has recently started running again and let me sign him up for the 5k. I’m excited he’s willing to run something since he originally said he wasn’t running ANY races unless they were a mile or less. He prefers short and fast to my long and steady. The boys are signed up for the kids dash - they chose based on medal design and not distance.
We have a trip planned for May and will probably take our medals then, with hopes of being able to get them signed. We sadly realize meet-n-greets may not be happening even come May, but we hope for the best.
