    What did you do?

    Still in recovery doing 3-4 mile runs and so happy about it. I'll be indoors on the treadmill the next few days though due to an ice storm in Texas.

    What did you do?

    Hi all. I successfully completed 4 miles on New Years Day for my first run of the year, and I was extremely pleased with that given my recovery from injury. Trying to go further than that seems to cause me pain so I'm not gonna push the limits for awhile. I'm thrilled with a few 3-4 mile runs...

    What did you do?

    Hi everyone. No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. :D It's just been a very frustrating year for me because of my hamstring tear in January. I don't know where I left off in my saga, but it's time for an update since I'm finally running again. Three months of PT early in the year did...

    What did you do?

    Finally was able to book a cortisone injection by guided ultrasound into my hamstring tendon for a week from Thursday. The ortho is optimistic it will work and I will be running again very soon. I sure hope he's right. This has not been a good running year for me because of my injury. I...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    I ran it the final year of the TOT13K in 2009 I think. It was neat running there at night and I loved going to DHS for free afterwards. Cool medal too.

    How intense is Everest?

    I like Mummy and Rock N Roller Coaster but I hated EE the one time I rode it. I can handle the speed and curves but I hate drops, and EE had a big one. Gives me that stomach lurching feeling instead of the thrill I get on Mummy and RNRC. I also hate ToT because of that dropping feeling.

    What did you do?

    Went for my MRI on Friday, then went for a beautiful (albeit still painful) 3 mile run around the lake on Saturday as I awaited the results. Good news-bad news. The good news is that I do not have a detachment of my hamstring requiring surgery. The bad news is that I still have a great deal...

    What did you do?

    Good luck at the orthopedist. Many years ago I sprained my ankle and I wound up needing surgery to repair it in 2003. The first question I asked the surgeon was whether I would be able to run a marathon after I recovered, and he said absolutely. I did wear an ankle brace for stability for the...

    What did you do?

    I hear ya. I haven't checked in for quite awhile because I've been so bummed about my injury. For those of you that recall, I tripped and fell on a pointy metal outdoor umbrella stand four months ago. At first I thought I just badly bruised the back of my thigh. When it still hurt after 2...

    Thoughts on Hagrid's Thrill Level?

    Unlike the OP, I don't mind intense launches and speed (I like RnRC and Mummy) but I can't handle drops (Everest andToT). Would you say this ride is not for me in that case?

    What did you do?

    Hi all. Glad to see everyone keeping up the good work. I finally caved and went to an orthopedist last week about my hamstring injury. To my surprise he thought I actually have a slight hamstring tear from the force of my fall on the umbrella stand, not just a bruise. And he said I had been...

    Revenge of the Mummy vs Transformers: The Ride 3D

    Mummy is a great smooth coaster. Transformers is a loud, rough, nauseating ride system that after experiencing once, no one in my family will ever go on again.

    What did you do?

    Damn injury is not healing. In fact it's getting worse. I did some research and I'm pretty certain I have an intermuscular hamstring contusion which can be equally as painful and long-lasting as a hamstring pull/strain. I may have to bite the bullet and see an orthopedist even though all I...

    First Time visit in July - Need Advice

    Staying at one of the hotels that includes the Express Pass and early entry has always been key for us to do as much as possible in a short period of time. Two park passes enable you to ride the Hogwarts Express (which is different in both directions). Our favorite restaurant there was Three...

    Universal/Disney Trip - Where to go first?

    This sounds like a perfect and relaxing way to do it. The Express Pass and early entry at Uni are gamechangers. Remember that you can't ride the Hogwarts Express unless you have two park passes.

    What did you do?

    Hi folks. Still here and running. Also still recovering from my fall on that damn umbrella stand. It's been 6 weeks and I still have quite a lot of muscle pain behind my thigh where I landed on the point. I'm still running through the pain (not sure if that's smart but I am), but my leg...

    What did you do?

    So 10 days ago I was taking a few steps backwards from the entrance to a bagel shop and didn't realize that there was something behind me and I tripped and fell HARD on a metal umbrella stand. I landed with the pole in the back of my upper thigh. Couldn't sit for a few days from the bruising...
