    What did you do?

    I had my bib mailed to me this year since I wasn't sure I'd be able to take time off on the 3rd. I am in J this year. I think I used my Peachtree time from last year (1:12ish) Last night was speed work at the track. 1x800 @ 10:26, 2x600 @ 9:31 for both, 3x400 @ 9:05, 9:29 & 9:40, 4x200 @ 8:19...

    What did you do?

    Trying to get some miles in before Peachtree in 2 weeks. Yesterday: Pull-ups, box jumps and sit-ups WOD at Crossfit followed by just over 3.5 miles yesterday evening in the heat & humidity of Alabama. One of the slowest runs I've had in quite awhile. Track work this evening with run coach...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    The lights, although a very short section of the race, have been a highlight each year. It's good to see them back for this year

    What did you do?

    Saturday - 5k trail run. I enjoyed the trails. But, I have new respect for those that are on these regularly. Wednesday - ran a local summer series 5k put on by local high school XC and track team. Miles 1 & 2 have some rolling hills culminating with a nice steady climb for 1/4 mile or so...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    As of today, Goofy was sitting at 72% I'm still baffled it hasn't sold out. But, it just means the $300+ remains in my pocket for a while longer :D

    Downtown Disney Pleasure Island bus stop permanently closing

    Considering how crowded the Marketplace stop gets on a slightly crowded day, this has disaster written all over it.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    I was able to book a room at Coronado in 2012 with fairly short notice (within 45 days or so). If I remember correctly, there was a fair amount of availability at the Value resorts as well

    'The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler Weekend'

    unfortunately, this race is one that spends very little time in the parks. If you want real bathrooms, then the only options will be in WWoS (prior to the loop on the track is the only one I can think of) and Hollywood Studios (there are a couple options here). The earliest you'll get real...

    What did you do?

    Saturday - 5k as Crossfit workout since the coaches were at Regionals. Peachtree training started last week. Schedule called for 2/2.5 miles on the weekday runs. It feels weird stepping back to "only" 2 and 2.5 miles. Should I stick to the schedule or would itbe okay to do 3 or 4 miles for the...

    Flamingo Crossing Hotels

    General feelings in the hotel industry have moved toward the positive. There is a fair amount of new construction happening across the US. As far as being in the middle of nowhere, sometimes these projects can get a little ahead of the others due to the length of time for construction of these...

    Does Disney own Run Disney

    yep, what @GSpiff said. Although, it should be pointed out that TrackShack actually handles a lot of the logistics/organization of the actual events at WDW. One of the reasons your proof of time emails go to a trackshack email address

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    I'm still amazed at the speed in which Goofy is filling. I wonder how many slots they actually allocated for that challenge with it being an anniversary year.

    What did you do?

    1RM deadlifts yesterday morning. 3 miles last night. I forget how much "fun" 2 a days can be :D

    Proof of Time questions

    Mcmillan is a GREAT predictor! I ran a 10 miler last October before Wine & Dine. It was pretty darn close to predicting my W&D finish. I'm not sure how Track Shack (runDisney race organizers) verifies/determines the finish times based on what is given. I'd recommend checking Mcmillan with the...

    Question: Marathon Park Stops?

    Everest is "unofficial" as it's opening may or may not have happened by the time you reach that point. As it's about 13 miles into to marathon, a fair amount of runners are already past it when it hits official opening for the day

    Question: Marathon Park Stops?

    Park bathrooms: In AK: just before Expedition Everest just prior to exiting Dinoland In WWoS: there was a bathroom right before the short trek on the track might have been one other - I kind of block out WWoS In DHS: bathrooms in ABC Commisary off to the left before exiting the park (just as...

    Question: Marathon Park Stops?

    The course does run alongside one side of the SDMT facility. There were a fair number of runners this past year that were taking pictures with the Dopey cutout on the wall since this was one of the very few opportunities to take any pic with Dopey (5k and Marathon were the only two spots I...

    Question: Marathon Park Stops?

    Word of warning on the TTC bathrooms: these get CROWDED since it's the first set of real bathrooms on the course. Very long lines!

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    So nice to get the old style SSE design on the anniversary medal. It'll look nice alongside the other 4 years' medals of this race :D

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    I ran the 10k this past January as part of the Dopey Challenge. To be honest, it really wasn't too bad from a crowding perspective. Although, I did purposefully start from the rear of my corral. The first short stretch after the start is fairly narrow. But, you turn towards the main entrance of...
