20 miles in the books for the day. Ran 10 miles @9:14/mi to the start of the 8am Bronx 10 mile race and timed it perfectly, literally had 6 minutes to grab a drink and check my bag before heading to the start. I seem to forget that this race is not my favorite, the course can't decide if it...

Yes, they are doing the poncho option again this year, and I made sure to check that because it gets you out and on your way faster than picking up a bag. I have worked the marathon the past 9 years so I know the temps can be all over the place. I am going to mentally prepare myself for...

@Texas84 - by the time you work up to those 7-8 milers before work they will be nothing to you. When I began this training cycle seeing 8-10 mile runs before work on the schedule was laughable, but once I got over the initial mental hurdle they aren't that bad. I am up early enough I don't have...

Goofy is *almost* sold out with the half not too far behind. Goofy's Race and Half Challenge presented by Cigna® - 98% Full Marathon presented by Cigna® - 91% Full Half Marathon presented by Cigna® - 97% Full Walt Disney World® 10K presented by Cigna® - Sold Out Walt Disney World® 5K...

Just made my way through this thread and it makes me want to hop on down for Food & Wine in a few weeks. Great photos and details that aren't I think I might be able to sell my non-Disney loving husband on this trip if I show him the Scotland menu with the Glenfiddich flight on it (all the...

@JillC LI - that is a beautiful story, thanks for sharing it. I might nick your note strategy for my race though none of them would be as touching as what your father wrote. Today was my last session of hill repeats this training period. :joyfull: The last repeat was definitely the smoothest...

That is certainly a memorable long run, hopefully mine are not as eventful. I love that your dad rode his bike alongside you, that is definitely something that would make long runs a little bit more special.

@lukacseven - thanks for the report on the RnR half, the humidity makes Deena Kastor's new record even more incredible. Took an extra rest day yesterday and plan to shift things around so I don't miss any miles this week. Got back out there today for 5.20 miles @9:07/mi. Less than 40 days until...

Fantastic report ladies! I am pretty sure I got a little tipsy just looking at all those shots you downed. :hungover:

Just under 14 miles today. Glad I made the call to push the 20 miler to next week because man oh man this was another ugly run. I see an extra rest day somewhere in my very near future...

@JillC LI - doesn't the Garmin death mid-run always occur when you feel like you're running pretty fast? For me that is when it always hits and then I have no proof of my speediness. I have reached the point in marathon training where I am tired all the time. I have to give myself a pep talk to...

Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us. You guys both look like you are having so much fun, that's what its all about!

@Mr mom - very glad to hear that your surgery is so near on the horizon. You'll be back to those 13 milers in no time

I also stopped paying attention around that time. Anyone out there still looking for a room at this point? Are you finding decent availability? Pretty sure you are right about that one it never got up to the 90% zone.

I love how freaked out people are about the pricing being $200. It was $175 when it opened but since it sold out so fast they weren't able to utilize the tiered pricing. Now that its after August 20 the price is up to its highest level and people are *now* disgusted with how expensive runDisney...

Yasso 800 x 9 1.18mi w/u, 9x800m repeats average 3:39 (7:18/mi pace), resting intervals of 2 minutes between each set and 1.31mi c/d to round it out to 8 miles for the morning. My legs are still sore/tired from the 18 miles on Sunday so even during my warmup I did not think this run was going...

So the ugliest thing I have seen come out of this on the runDisney facebook page is the lady complaining about fundraising for the half because when it sold out she signed to run with a charity and now she HAS to pay that money and how she would have never done that if she knew that more slots...

5.23 miles at 9:09/mile. As of this week there are a lot more people out at 5am, I guess people are starting to take this fall marathon seriously with only a few weeks to go for most major races. Seeing so many people makes me feel like I am running super late even though its still dark as...

Just checked in on the facebook page and a few people are saying they signed up for Goofy because the full marathon was at capacity but are planning to do both races, they don't seem bitter about it. I am going to check in a little later, especially in the post to page section because that's...

So Goofy was selling so poorly they are taking some of the slots and breaking them up to half and full registrations. If you know someone who wants to do either race let them know stat because according to the rD website they are both back down to 90% capacity. See the story from runDisney copy...
