After running 44 of the 205 total miles at the Ragnar Relay from Lancaster to Mount Pocono, PA, my feet deserved a present!  The Mizuno Wave Sky! 

The Wave Sky is a brand new sneaker from Mizuno that replaced their Enigma shoe.  I have to admit I am an avid Wave Rider girl and always get a little nervous to try anything new!  

The first thing I noticed was how responsive the inside of the shoe felt.  It truly felt like I was running on two clouds!  It is a very neutral shoe that can be used especially for marathon or high mileage training!  I feel my Wave Riders have a firmer sole, but the Wave Sky offers more cushioning and comfort!  I noticed when I would strike, I felt a nice soft landing, and an immediate bounce back. 

The Wave Sky felt like it was made for my feet ... a very comfortable yet not restrictive fit!  The toe box of the shoe gave me plenty of room and allowed my toes to have space and breath.  

I wear a women's size 10 and felt this was the perfect fit!   

With Fall marathon training right around the corner I definitely will be incorporating the Wave Sky into my higher mileage training runs!  It weighs about an ounce more than the Wave Riders but I noticed a more responsive and bouncy feel with the Wave Sky!  

Another thing I noticed the most is it usually takes me a few runs to "break in" my new shoes but the Wave Sky felt amazing from the first step!  Plus ... I am obsessed with the colors!!!!! 

If you are looking for a new running shoe I highly recommend the Wave Sky!

Added bonus they are Collins approved.... now if they just came in her size!!!

Marathon training and Vacation

Monday was a rest day for me considering I got off work at 8 am and had to finalize packing and making sure we had everything we need.  We picked the boys up from school at 1 pm and headed to BWI airport for our flight.  We decided to fly down a day early and stay at Pop Century hotel for the night and start fresh and early on Tuesday morning!  The boys were so excited and absolutely love Disney.

Tuesday we moved hotels over to the Bay Lake Towers dropped off our luggage then went straight to the Magic Kingdom!

I love Disney this time of year

We did a ton of rides with the boys, had dinner at the Crystal Palace then went back to the hotel.  Chase did his homework while I snuck in a quick 5 miler then we all went to the pool.

I am in the final weeks of marathon training before my taper starts and still need to get my runs in.  Disney's Deluxe resorts all have very nice fitness centers as well as multiple places outside to run.  The weather is pretty awesome here right now so I will hopefully get some of my shorter runs done outside.  So to time manage and still fit in my runs without taking away from family time I make sure to get up early and get my runs in or do them while boys are resting!

Wednesday we started the day off by shipping the boys off on a Pirate Adventure Cruise!  They were so excited and love it!!  The hubby and I got to spend 2 hours kid free together! Woohoo!

Ahoy Pirates!

Pirate or Gangsta??

What a fun time!!  Afterwards we went to Epcot and enjoyed the Food and Wine Festival and had lunch at Via Napoli...Holy Yum!
