Castaway Cay Challenge and Bomb Girls

I'm taking it a little slow in my training for this week, but I'm still working! I've started watching Bomb Girls on Netflix while I run (or walk... but I use the incline!) and I'm addicted. I accidentally binge watched the first season, but I'm trying to pace myself starting season two. There are only two seasons on Netflix and I'm a little afraid to Google it in case of spoilers. One of the actors was on Orphan Black recently though, so I'm afraid there might just be the two. I'm in love with the retro style of this show, and taking it slow this week has made me realize what a serious case of hair envy I have.

The show is about women of different backgrounds working in a munitions factory in Canada during World War II. Gladys, top left, is a grocery heiress who feels the need to provide more than just office support for the war effort. Kate, on the right, is starting a new life working in the factory on the run from her past. Lorna, on the bottom left, is in charge of the ladies on the line and her story is just starting to get scandalous. Then there's Betty, who is awesome. Season one didn't end well for her, but I believe in Betty. YOU GO GIRL, YOU BUY YOURSELF A HOUSE! 

Oh, right... headphones.

Anyway, back to the races.

Registration for the Castaway Cay Challenge opened today at noon. From the website;

 "The all-new Disney Castaway Cay Challenge is an ultimate running adventure, combining one magical 5K event or longer during the 2015 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend (February 19 - 22, 2015) with a Castaway Cay 5K on Disney Cruise Lines' private tropical island in the Bahamas the following week." 

It's an interesting idea, but a four-night cruise plus $65 registration in addition to the half marathon is just a little much in terms of expenses. I'll be skipping it, but the part of me that wants to collect everything is filing it away for later. Like when I win the lottery. From what I can tell, the new challenge differs from the Castaway 5k offered before this year in a few ways. From the registration page, it appears that this year this will be a timed event rather than a fun run, with the 16 minutes per mile rule in effect. It also appears that participants will be entitled to special perks on board the cruise. I'm interested to see how this turns out!
