I felt like I needed a new personal challenge and a half marathon would be a great place to start. I needed to feel I was still growing as a person, mentally and physically. I needed a new chapter in my life\u2019s story \u2014 one that would inspire me, my family, my class members, and one that would push me past what I thought were my limits. I haven\u2019t looked back!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aDo you walk, run or run\/walk, swim, cycle, do obstacles?\u202c<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u202aAll the above. Obstacle stuff can be challenging, but I try. My strategy varies on the distance I\u2019m covering. I am very passionate about the run\/walk\/run method and its benefits for running long distances and recovering quickly. I could discuss\/argue that topic all day. My run\/walk\/run half marathon PR is five minutes faster than my straight run PR. Call me a convert.\u202c<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54446\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/racey-runner-faith-dority\/fitz-faith-starwars\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-54446\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54446\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54446\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-starwars--300x400.jpg\" alt=\"Faith and Fitz square off after running the Star Wars 10K.\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-starwars--300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-starwars--768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-starwars--450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-starwars-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faith and Fitz square off after running the Star Wars 10K.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u202aWhat distances do you do?\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\n3.1, 6.2, 13.1, 26.2, 39.3, 48.6<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aHow many have you done?\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nOoh\u2026you made me have to try and count them up \ud83d\ude42 Collectively, I\u2019ve completed 60-ish race events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aWhat do you feel is your greatest race accomplishment?\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nThe inaugural 2014 Dopey Challenge held at Walt Disney World Resort.

Originally from the west-side, I started visiting Disneyland at the age of five, so it\u2019s at the forefront of many cherished childhood memories. I found a magic there (no pun intended) that made me believe!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aDo you travel for races?\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nYes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aDoes your race schedule become expensive? How do you afford to make it happen?\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nIt does become expensive, especially for destination races. I\u2019m fortunate that I\u2019m able to use the money I earn as a fitness instructor to offset some of the costs. I also owe the \u201cmake it happen\u201d part to a husband that\u2019s more supportive than I deserve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aMust-have gear on race day:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nAs much as I\u2019d love to run without it, I need my fuel belt for 13.1 or more \u2014 I have found my fastest times were when I had water on me. I also need ear buds, there is something primal for me when I run with music. Good socks, good shoes, good sports bra, and bottoms that don\u2019t ride up my inner thighs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aWeirdest place you&#8217;ve ever chafed:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nNo one will ever look me in the eye again if I tell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202a<br \/>\nDo you prefer to run in warm weather or cold weather?\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nWarm. I\u2019ve spent the last five years training through the summer for the same race and it has reset my internal thermostat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aFavorite pre-race meal\/snack:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nCoffee and a banana (I\u2019ll add peanut butter if time permits).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54432\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54432\" class=\"wp-image-54432 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/faithandhusband-300x400.png\" alt=\"faithandhusband\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/faithandhusband-300x400.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/faithandhusband-450x600.png 450w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/faithandhusband.png 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54432\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faith and running legend Jeff Galloway<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u202aWeirdest\/funniest thing you&#8217;ve ever experienced at a race:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nI can think of something to answer this for every race I\u2019ve ever done, races are special that way. Looking over and seeing a Churro running next to me was pretty awesome. And one time I rode in a van to the start line that ended up driving over the start line to drop myself and others off, that doesn\u2019t happen every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aWorst experience during a race:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nThe 2013 Diva Half Marathon in Myrtle Beach, SC.<br \/>\nWhatever I ate the night before The Diva, DID NOT like me race morning. I\u2019ve never been ill like that before in my life &#8211; I want a do over.\u00a0\u202aThe 2012 Disneyland Half was a tough one for me, too. My mom had a severe stroke just two weeks prior, at the age of 54 (so young!). After arriving in Connecticut 48 hours after her stroke, and spending three days with her, I went home with this race as the last thing on my mind. I did end up able to attend and I cried the whole race. I also remember it was crazy sunny during the half and I was thankful my sunglasses could hide the tears. I <a href=\"http:\/\/run3rd.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\">#run3rd <\/a>for her and PR\u2019d, I haven\u2019t PR\u2019d since. After the race, I quickly went back to my hotel room for a conference call with her medical team and my sisters.\u202c<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aMost awesome moment you&#8217;ve ever had at a race:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are three that stand out:<br \/>\n1. While running the 2014 Walt Disney World Marathon, I saw someone I knew at mile 1.5ish.\u00a0I was discouraged because my watch was dead, I forgot my ear buds and here I go for 26.2 miles. With nothing to lose and a long race ahead of me I said &#8220;hello&#8221;. We ended up running the entire race together and it was awesome! We ran into other friends along the way and we crazy stopped for photos! Best race ever!<br \/>\n2. During the 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon I was a corral ahead of my husband and I stubbornly stayed in my corral convinced he was going to slow me down. I ended up not fueling properly and was gassed, miserable, and ready to be done at mile 12.2, then someone grabbed my hand\u2026.. it was my husband who had caught up to me and could have flown right by, but he saw I needed him. I was instantly at ease having him by my side and he held my hand until we crossed the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>\u202a3. The 2015 Disneyland 5K. We\u2019ve run several races as a family of five, but this race was by far the most fun I\u2019ve ever had with my crew. We laughed, we ran, we stopped for photos, and my six year old daughter was family MVP after bringing her A-game on race day. The five of us crossed the finish line together in under 40 minutes.\u202c<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54445\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/racey-runner-faith-dority\/fitz-faith-princess\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-54445\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54445\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54445\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Faith and Fitz post-Disney Princess Half Marathon\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-196x110.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/fitz-faith-princess.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faith and Fitz post-Disney Princess Half Marathon.\u202c<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u202aYour favorite part of participating in races:\u202c<\/strong><br \/>\nThe people I\u2019ve met along the way and when I can run with my family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u202aDo you wear costumes?
