Hoping I can be ready for the 2012 1/2 marathon.

Well did my first bit of running yesterday in my new shoes and other than some muscle fatigue in my thighs today, my shins, which sustained the stress fractures last fall, feel perfectly fine. I'm following my doctor's orders. He told me not to run until I felt no pain in my shins at all and...

I'm just getting back into running after getting injured (3 stress fractures in both shins last year) during a 5K run last fall. I've registered for a 5K later this summer and have started training for it this past week. Am I crazy to think that I would be ready to run the Disney 1/2 marathon in...

Thanks. I'm thinking of picking one up from the Apple Store near me. I got the iPod nano for running so need something to hold it in.

I just picked up an ipod nano. How do you find running with the nano armband?

Pop Warner stays at the All Stars and at Port Orleans Riverside with the the overflow resort being Port Orleans French Quarter. If you want to know about their behaviour, it can be anything from, you never knowing they're there to out right rude and obnoxious. We made the mistake of having...

I don't take anything specifically for joint care. My doctor has me taking calcium, Vitamin D and a multi-vitamin, but not necessarily for joint care. What I find works well is a weekly dose of Yoga. It helps to stretch and strengthen your muscles thereby taking the pressure off your joints.

I'm hoping to do my first Disney 1/2 in the next couple of years. Hoping for 2012 or 2013. I'm coming off 3 stress fractures in my legs so I have to make sure I take things slow and don't over do it. I plan to do my first 5K in my home town this fall and then some 10Ks early next year...

Hadn't actually taken that into consideration :ROFLOL: We stayed at the Poly this past December and loved it. We can't afford to stay there in any season except Value season and we can't wait to get back to the Poly and since the WDW Marathon and 1/2 Marathon fall in Value season we figure it's...

Stayed there for the first time last June (2009) and we loved it. Was our first ever stay at a Moderate and it's now our moderate of choice. Had to move our next trip from Dec 2010 to June 2011 and downgrade and we opted to go back to POFQ. Can't wait!

That's fine. I know that on weekends the pricing does go up. We'd be looking at staying at the Poly for the January Marathon in a garden view room. I'd also be looking to have Kingdom Konsultants do the bookings for me.

Thanks Richard. When I'm ready to book, i.e. when I've gone ahead and registered for the marathon (won't be in 2011, hoping 2012), I'll be in touch with you about booking a marathon package for me so you can keep an eye out for a better deal. Now to get some new shoes so I can get running :D

I'm hoping to do the 1/2 marathon, probably not in 2011 as I'm getting back into running after an injury, but hopefully in 2012 and I'm curious about the Magic Your Way Marathon Vacation packages you can book for you stay over race weekend. Are these regular packages that you book or are they...

We booked for June 2011 back in February. We called and booked a room only reservation. You need to put down a deposit equal to one night's stay. Also they will quote you a rate that is equivalent to the top rate for your room category for this year and then when room rates come out in August of...

By far the Giraffes! One of these days I'm going to get a picture of that elusive cheetah!:lol:

I actually took up running about a year ago but ended up with stress fractures due to incorrect shoes. I'm hoping to get back into running now that I'm for the most part pain free. I just need to get the right shoes. Unfortunately I'll have to start out on a treadmill due to doctor's orders but...

I'm with you. That's the point I was trying to get across and I've gotten slammed for it numerous times. Like you, we won't be returning anytime soon.

We used to eat there every time we stayed at WL, which was 5 or 6 stays and it was usually 2 or 3 dinners/breakfasts a stay. We knew exactly what to expect but the last meal was terrible, mainly due to the poor service we received. I don't care if it's the start of the night or the end of the...

I can totally understand this. I walked into our local CAA office to see if they had any brochures for the Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney a couple years ago. When I asked about Adventures by Disney the person was like "Huh? What's that?" with a totally blank look on their face. I...

That was uncalled for. We did nothing wrong for your information accept ask for a cup of coffee with dessert. We did not harrass the non-existent waiter. We didn't complain in the slightest when we were seated in the very back of the restaurant out in the middle of the lobby. We never once...
