I am such a fan of the design of these shoes that I am for the first time really tempted to enter the runDisney/New Balance fray. I like the Tink version too would never be able to bring myself to buy anything with Tink on it. They are $140

Last week most of my runs were around 4 miles due to high heat and humidity or just running out of time. One of the days when the humidity broke I finally got my pace back down to the 8's, even finished the last half mile in the 7's. Running fast can be fun sometimes and I kind of miss it. 13...

Don't let it bother you - at least that's what I keep telling myself. I am in the same boat with the pace and I feel like if I try to do some speed work on a mildish day it will be more depressing than inspiring. Keep plugging along, Dopey is so far away, you have time to pick up some speed once...

It's still hot and humid so I am still running slower than usual. I did make an effort to do a hilly loop twice yesterday and on my way down the second time a tourist took a nasty spill off her bike about 10 feet in front of me and I had to call and wait for an ambulance for about 20 minutes. I...

@Texas84 - Its called the Castle to Chateau Race Challenge The signup is coming up quick on this one

Waivers and the event guide have been posted on the runDisney site. The corrals have changed a bit from last year, less and larger corrals and the cut off for A is 2:00 hour POT, last year it was 1:50. People who would've been in D or E in the past are now in B. We shall see how this turns...

Today I felt like I could run forever and it was wonderful. I set out for an undetermined length long run, anything in double digits would have been fine but my body felt off for the first 4 miles and I questioned making it much more than 6. Once I hit mile 4 something clicked, I was on a car...

I would not count on any pre-sale items to be available at the expo, especially because Star Wars weekend brings a lot of folks who just want to buy the swag to sell it later. There is a chance... for example they had loads of the women's marathon jacket left after pre-sale this year because it...

Still doing the whole summer running thing which means 4-5 mile runs that come in around 9 min/mi with at least 1-2 water breaks thrown in. I feel like I should be doing some speed work but this heat is not ideal for that. Any thoughts of attempting a real workout were quickly thrown out the...

Nope. You are literally rolling the dice with all the pre-order items. Luckily you can return them and in most cases exchange them for a different size at pick up.

You got it. A run during lunch hour = runch

@Texas84 - glad to see you are getting answers and that you actually like going to the doctor :eek: Just finished up 4.27 mi for runch. I haven't run since Monday for various reasons (volunteering for the NYC street tree census, high heat and humidity, and thunderstorms) so it was definitely a...

Disclaimer - not a mom just a woman who has read a lot of stories/blogs about running after pregnancy and there is the one thing I can take away from those tales: Everyone is different, some people can get right back into it while other people take a year or two. Listen to your body... and your...

Saturday - 13.5ish miles as part of a Long Training Run put on by New York Road Runners to get people in shape for the marathon. For $10 you get 5 water stops on the 4-6 mile loop, pacers, sprinklers, bag check, port-o-potties, and Gu, bananas, pretzels, and bagels, etc. These training runs sell...

Hi Brian welcome to the runDisney boards! Since you mentioned the Magic Kingdom I assume you'd be more interested in a race at WDW and not Disneyland, is that right? The shorter races tend to sell out the fastest as they are most appealing to people like yourself who want to join in the fun but...

Saturday - missed my window for a my long run due to thunderstorms and a late morning commitment so I did a Tabata workout that was murder on my quads. Sunday - stretching the quads and 5 miles of walking Monday - rest as my quads were worse than yesterday, it was approximately 1 million...

It felt wonderful running with no expectations. I can do a long run tomorrow and not make myself push through if it is really miserable (like last weekend, I should've called it a wrap at mile 7 and taken the subway home but I felt like I HAD to get in the last three miserable miles).

@Texas84 - the foam roller can do so much, I found a foam roller class on Daily Burn and I was amazed at how much I was missing out on. Friday - 4.5 miles at MGP from work directly to happy hour, wonderful motivation to run fast Saturday - 10 miles, my legs were shot from everything I had done...

I thought they would do a play on the usual Disneyland half medal this year, but they went in a whole new direction which I can understand for the Diamond Celebration but I think it really detracts from the 10th Anniversary of the Half. Agreed big time. As random as the 5k/10k themes are for...

That is the only thing that gets me out of bed in the summer - knowing that if I sleep in my long run is going to be a million times more miserable the later I sleep.
