    New runDisney tek shirt

    I do like it....any addition to the line is a good thing. It'd be nice if they had something that used all the symbols from the rundisney website for each of the races. Like a "schedule of events" t shirt or something.

    Do guys run in the Princess Half Marathon??

    The route for the princess is the same as it is for the WDW 1/2. Start outside EPCOT, go down world drive, through the MK toll gates, through the TTC, Under the water bridge - past the contemporary. Backstage into the MK - down main st, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, out to the left of Splash Mtn...

    Do guys run in the Princess Half Marathon??

    I ran it last year.....the womens bibs have "Princess XXXX" on them, and the guys just have their first name. The bibs are all different colored depending on who you said your favorite princess was at registration. It was a great race, and seemed a bit more relaxed than the WDW 1/2 that is run a...

    Good point....actually makes a lot of sense. Because of my morning race nerves, I'm used to running on a nearly empty stomach. I ran on a full stomach for the first time in forever in this race. My body wasn't used to that.

    Part of the mystery of running sometimes. Things aren't always going to go right, and you won't always know why. I also know I PR'd the week before, so I have nothing to hang my head about. I'll just refocus on the next task at hand....the WDW Marathon.

    I was doubling down at every water stop, taking both powerade and water. Although my wife now tells me I went through the last 2 without taking anything. It bothers me that parts of the race are fuzzy.

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

    Hacienda landed there due to the fact we were on the dining plan and when we made ADR's, we kinda forgot about the race that night. Luckily, it was an early enough time that I could still make the race. I was given a giant plate of food. I ate chicken and steak, and a ton of rice. Add to that...

    EtwB still doing any test openings?

    This -My wife and daughter were using the restroom near Pinnochio's Village House, and I noticed 2 cast members standing by that door. I went over to them and asked if they were doing any testing that day. They said they would be looking for people in about 5 minutes. I sat down nearby, and...

    Ok...here is my report. I'm a midwestern guy. I don't mind the cold...but I have problems with the heat. I don't sweat a lot when running, but as soon as the temp gets above 80, I start pouring sweat like a faucet. I had run a half marathon the day before we left, and then I was in Orlando...

    I don't have a problem with people walking during a race. To me, it' s part of it...you'll pass some, and if I walk, I expect to be passed. However, my major issue was people walking in the middle of the road, or just slowing up out of nowhere. Anytime we decided to take a walk break, we got out...

    Ha- not at all...I meant to convey that it helped drive me. At the time, I was cursing you a bit, but I knew you were right, and looking for an excuse to stop when I dont have to. It was the same thing the day Nick did his 100...I did 16 miles that day, and I knew I was only doing a fraction...

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

    I didn't deal well with the heat...we finished in 2:16. I could never breathe decently. Then I started dealing with nipple chafing....something I've never dealt with. I think I was really dehydrated by the time I was done. I was pouring sweat faster than I was replenishing. It was great meeting...

    What did you do?

    Last Saturday, I ran the Brewers Mini Marathon in Milwaukee. It was a rainy, cold morning, as I posted on Facebook. I brought along my Saucony running jacket as rain protection, and kept it on for warmth. The cool weather lead to easy breathing, however. I set a PR 2:20:16. There was high winds...

    naw...ill be good once I get to the site. It only really hits me on morning races for whatever reason, anyway.

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

    I always have raceday nerves...a lot of race mornings I throw up I get so jacked up on adrenaline. I've learned to feed off the adrenaline. Nothing gets me up more than a Disney race, though. There is always something special about running here. I've been on property a few days now, and have...

    Race Registration at Expo

    We were going to register for the princess 1/2 while at the January expo. They were giving $10 off, as well as a tote bag. However, the computers were painfully slow, and the RunDisney personnel on site were of no help....we registered when we got home instead of wasting time.

    What did you do?

    I typically don't eat much before a race, as I tend to get race day nerves. Typically half a bagel or a banana is all I can stomach. Once I'm running, the nerves settle out and I can actually take my gels and such regularly without problems. I run a lot after work at night, so I'm used to...
