Crescent City Classic Expo 2015

I went to the Crescent City Classic Expo today to pick up my race bib and T shirt and was able to get last minute information for you!

Didn't Register? Good News!  There is still time to register for the Crescent City Classic 10K!  Late registration will be going on through tomorrow from 10am - 8pm at the Hyatt in New Orleans.

Next up, Corrals:  Once you receive your bib, you will notice that it is brightly colored.  The color will match to your corral at the start of the race.  There will be strict enforcement of the color codes - so beware.

Tip: If you are pulling a cart or pushing a stroller, you will be forced to line up in Yellow regardless of your bib color.

You can start catching race day buses at 5:30am at City Park.  The last bus will be at 7:45.

Tip: Buses back to downtown from City Park will start at 10 am, with the last bus leaving at 1pm.

The Weather for Saturday will be a low of 63 with a high of 71.  It will probably be humid, but otherwise nice running weather!

The course will be the normal path from downtown to City Park.

And the Michelob Race Fest will be held near the Practice Field, as usual.
The party begins at 10am: free to all runners and a $10 charge to the public.

If you came along with family or live locally, don't pass up this opportunity to run in this amazing race through historic New Orleans: the atmosphere is one you can't have anywhere else in the world!
This race holds very fond memories for me, and I hope that you will be there to share it with me!

5 Reasons to Run the Happiest Races on Earth!

Are you wondering... "why should I do a runDinsey race"? There are a lot of excuses not to - but there are many reasons why running Disney can be a fun, magical experience!

Here are My Top 5 Reasons to take the right steps, move forward and runDisney!

1.  You are a Winner!
Whether you just ran a 5K or the WDW Goofy Challenge, finished first or last, Disney makes you feel like you just won the Olympics!  From the awesome medal, to the extra Disney care, to all of the encouragement along the way, you will be treated like Royalty!  

2. Organization
There is nothing worse that being in a race that runs out of water:  it's very discouraging.  But Disney has the experience of moving large groups each day through their parks, providing services and protection to their park goers, and being organized and on time.  They take this knowledge and put it to use at runDinsey:  You will always have water, snacks, first aid, and cast members at your service all along the way!

3. Running Through The Parks
There is no other race on Earth that will let you run through Cinderella's Castle, or through the World Showcase, or by Mount Everest, or get pictures with your favorite Disney characters!  All of the excitement generates enthusiasm and you can't wait to see what awaits you at the next turn.

4. It's About Family and Vacation
You may be running the big race, but a runDisney race is a family race.  With a family 5K and kids races, the whole family gets involved.   And while you are running, they can be a part of the Cheer Squads and cheer you on!  It's so much fun to see a familiar face on a challenging race - it helps you remember who you are running for!  And you are all together is a Magical Vacation spot - Disney!

5. It's Your Race!
Disney races are available throughout the year.  It is easy to find one that fits your schedule.  Once you pick a race, you will have plenty of time to budget and train.  This added flexibility helps you find the Disney race and vacation that is right for your!  Best of all, as a Disney Destination Specialist, I'll take all the worry of planning off your mind so you can focus on training for Your Happiest Race on Earth!

5 Things to Think About When Starting a Fitness Program

I am Extremely busy, and I know y'all are, too!  I hear from many of my friends that it's just hard to fit your health needs in with everything else going on; and with all the different DVDs, classes, and plans available, it's confusing!  The toughest part with all these programs is that many times you start and stop before you can realize the promised results.    More than likely, you are just doing something "popular" instead of thinking what is best for you, your schedule, your family and your lifestyle.
