Hello! I just spend the day at Disneyland with my little brother. We have annual passes and I’m not going to be able to renew mine next year so I want to take advantage of it while I can! I know you’re probably busy with life and school and work and eating and running and everything else so I’ll just share the highlights.
The Christmas decorations are up at Disneyland and CA Adventure! Everything is so festive and happy. I love it.
My ‘little’ brother is like 5’10”. Not so little! But he can’t drive yet so I still get to pick the radio station.
We started at Disneyland and caught a tiny bit of the parade on our way to California Adventure.
We went on the Hollywood Tower of Terror. Go big or go home! It is scary and awesome. I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I did this one.
Then, we headed back to Disneyland to get on the Haunted Mansion with our fast passes. It’s all decorated for Christmas with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. They change the ride a lot so it is fun to see all the holiday updates each year.
I feel totally into the holiday spirit now! Let the Christmas music and eggnog begin!!
I bought Matt a salted caramel churro on the way out and they gave us TWO!
When fate hands you a churro, you accept.
Pile on the Miles Check In
This morning (before all the Disneyland fun) I hit up the gym for a strength training session. It was a GREAT class. Whenever someone asks about my workout I say, “She just doesn’t waste my time!” regarding the instructor. She definitely makes it worth it to show up because I know I get a good workout.
Crossfit WOD on Wednesday and Turkey day. I need to get back into running – I ran on Tuesday and had a great run. I also noticed I’m not as lean lately. Running, I need you.
That is all.
I did a spin on my bike before packing the car to get out of dodge!
Wednesday was a rest day after two very long days to start the week.
20 sets of stairs at the local park this morning! Feeling super accomplished!
Ran 5 miles today.
No workout today – all travel!
I haven’t been home at all today (except to cook dinner), so I took an unscheduled rest day. I’ll try to make up for it tomorrow though.
Got in a little more than 4 miles before I had to jump back on my computer. I was hoping to run again Friday, but it looks like it may need to be Sunday. Lots of fun & food before then.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Dying to know why you can’t renew! Moving to FL??? 🙂 hope it’s a happy reason
65 min Elliptical, 100 push-ups, 100 Russian twists and teaching PE!!!
Rest day today.. 4 miles planned for tomorrow.. Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
3 miles on the treadmill this morning. Dark mornings and slippery sidewalks mean the outdoor running is taking a hiatus until spring.
Took a HIIT class today!!
Yesterday 2 miles on the dreadmil and today a cycle class. Resting for my 10K tomorrow on Thanksgiving!
Didn’t get time for a work out today as I was working late, but walked to work and walked home and went for a walk at lunchtime! Every little helps 🙂
I got in 2 miles before it started raining!
Did a strength training workout this morning, and I’m planning to run 3 miles this afternoon. Was going to save the run for tomorrow but with anticipated bad weather, I want to make sure to get my miles in while I can!
A little strength training and stair master are in my future!
3 mile run and planks today!
This morning was chest and abs…then I made 2 loaves of pumpkin banana bread and 2 pumpkin pies..next up treadmill sprints. Happy thanksgiving! 🙂
Ran 3 miles this morning!
I’ve been to Disneyland once, on New Year’s Day. I loved all of the holiday decorations and the parade. I really want to visit again soon (preferably for a half marathon) because that visit was 20 years ago! Plan to get a run in soon once the temp is at least in the high 20’s. Brrrr!
I did a lower body weight/HIIT circuit this morning…and baked 2 pies 🙂
When I was younger I went on the Tower of Terror like 13 times in a row. I don’t know what’s wrong w me.
this was my first year at Disneyland for the holidays, while its not as over the top as Disney World its still magical and amazing and i love it. haunted masion holiday is pretty dang cool, they dont do that at WDW so i was totally impressed. so cool you got to spend the day with your brother!
Hey we leave for DisneyWorld in 23 days!!!! Seeing these pictures has me even more excited……
My workout today is getting my hair highlighted….priorities right?!
It looks like rain here in Austin but the heavy stuff isn’t supposed to start until tomorrow so, if the weather permits I am getting my 4 miles in today! I have some ab work planned for this evening too.
3 mile shakeout run and spending the day withe my little niece and nephew
You know, I’ve lived in SoCal for 3 years and have never been to Disneyland. I was there once before it opened for the Tinkerbell Half marathon, but otherwise never been! I’ve gone to disney world a bunch, being from the east coast, but no disney land. I should go before I move….
i love that head bow thing!!
Oh and PS – I totally got a churro too!
I was at Disneyland last week! The Christmas decorations are so lovely. It was the first time I’ve been when they’ve had them up. I loved Tower of Terror and the Holiday Haunted Mansion was more fun than scary. 🙂 Happy holidays to you and your family.
Going out for a quick run. My migraine isn’t all the way gone but just need some fresh air!
Taking a spin class today!
Just walking today; still trying to convince my achilles to heal up. :/
bodypump early in the morning, then some bodycombat practice later in the morning. day 3/5 done!
I ran 3 very cold miles! I’m at 36 for the month which passes my goal of 35! I’m super excited! With 2 babies under 2 at home, it’s hard to have The time and energy to make it happen so I’m thankful for Pile on the Miles inspiration!!
I did November Project this morning…lots of stairs and bodyweight exercises. I wore my Garmin & I covered 3 miles!
I walked five miles this morning. Going on a road trip to be with family for thanksgiving, so I will be stuck in a car for six hours!
Again….early morning boot camp…I think I have problem 🙂 we did a ton of legs!!! I hope it doesn’t slow me down at the Turkey Trot tomorrow!!!
You are so lucky that Disney is so close. Looks like a blast. Can’t wait until my daughter is a little older so that we can take her!!!!
Pile on the miles was lacking last week, but I’m hoping to get a longer run in today and then Thanksgiving bootcamp tomorrow, with a group run on Saturday. Happy Thanksgiving!
6 miles planned for this afternoon!
So, I am cooking and cleaning like crazy. Going to try to make it to a yoga class at the gym and I’ll do some lifting later today. It’s super cold here, so I’ve been “speed” walking my dog and we are really enjoying it. He’d rather stop and smell every blade of grass, but I’m all about moving. Happy Thanksgiving! I might try that sweet potato casserole.
I got a nice walk the baby to nap walk in and 1.5 miles on the treadmill until I heard the wee one at the top of the stairs crying for momma! Not the plan but happy to get in 3 miles between the run and walk before heading to Thanksgiving #1. Tuesday before Thanksgiving our church always puts on a full Thanksgiving. I made a turkey and stuffing! So much fun and FOOD!
