And the craziness begins

by Lori and Michelle on January 8, 2010

Hey luvs

Sorry that our music playlist came out so small. We are not sure what happened when we imported it ; /

As we mentioned earlier that we were having technology issues. But we are back in action. Glad to see everyone enjoying our first video!!! :)

Here is our day yesterday!!!!

Today we started our morning with one of our typical green smoothies, similar to yesterday.

Glass of water kefir was a mid-morning snack.

Lunch was a glorious salad with fermented veggies, raw sauerkraut, and a slice of raw onion flatbread. Perfect!!! This kept us full all afternoon : )

Snack was un-pictured chocolate macaroons and glass of our homemade Kombucha. We had to show the sis a scoby!!

Then we debated if we wanted to go for a quick run or hit up the expo. We decided the expo to hopefully beat the crowd.

At Disney Marathon Expo at the Wide World of Sports.

Getting excited for the race…we think ; )

The expo was crazy as it is every year. Although this year was our first year going on Thursday (our past races Friday is normally the day we arrived), which was nice because it was a little less crowded.

We did browse all the booths but nothing really sparked our interest. It is the same thing every year. Well the expo took longer than we expected, so no workout today : (

We got our goody bag, race bib, race t-shirt, and these most essential post race celebration tools

The first part was inspired by the wonderful Heather.

Our first meal out of a jar full of fermented carrots and daikon plus a couple spoonfuls of tahini.marathon week pics-m 038

Yummy and creamymarathon week pics 160We sprinkled in dulse and nutritional yeast!

Hopefully we made you proud Heather.

Second part of our meal was our homemade raw yogurt which we stirred in chia seeds and drizzled with yacon syrup!! YUM! Look like ice cream.

And of course we have been staying hydrated with our lots of water and some coconut water : ) Gotta love Zico!!

Then we quickly rushed and packed the cars and headed to our hotel. Well hotel number one for this night. This part is a little confusing, our sister got us a room closer for the marathon, the resort we try to stay at every time therefore we leave here tomorrow to check in there tomorrow. The joys of being in our family…we tend to make things a bit more complicated.

My older sister and her husband our Disney Vacation club members and had a room for the weekend at Saratoga Springs at the same time of the marathon.

Having a fridge is a must now for us raw vegans : )

Oh, I hope you have a fantastic race. I’m running the princess half marathon there in March. I’ve never done a race a disney and I love reading your post about your experience. Two of my brothers are currently working at the Canadian pavilion at Epcot so I’m using any excuse to get down to see them.
I hope the weather improves before tomorrow!
