    What did you do?

    Ran my second 5k yesterday. It was soooooo hot! I had a rough time, but did it in 45:52 with a 14:46 pace. Now to all of you vets I know you are laughing, BUT my very firs time running in a race in June, I did it in 49:15 with a 15:53 pace, so I shaved almost 4 minues off. I really think I...

    Treehouse Villas???

    Thanks for all the great info guys! The couple going with us love to camp and the outdors and we explained how the villas are sort of out of the way and away from the hustle bustle of most resorts. They have seen pictures online and seem very excited. I too think it will be nice to get away...

    Which conditions would u prefer to run in?

    I hope the Half in January does not have the record low temps......something in the 50's sounds like it would be perfect!

    Thanks very much! I really do enjoy it and love the feeling i get after each run and after being able to go farther and farther without walking. I wonder if by the half in January I will be able to run most of it??? I feel better at almost 40 than i did at 20!!! Congrats on your weight loss. I...

    I choose less humidity. I am curious to see how I like running in the cold weather when it arrives this fall. I just began running in June.....

    Le Cellier - 2 Dining Credits for dinner 2011

    There is NO WAY if I were on the dining plan again I would use 2 credits for Le Cellier. It is a nice place, but just NOT the end all be all so many make it out to be. There are so many more places to get a steak that are even better. I enjoy eating there on occasion, but it is DEF. not what I...

    DVC Info sessions at WDW

    When we did ours in May, (and then joined a week after we got home) they picked us up at CBR at a time of our choosing. They take you to SSR to the DVC headquarters where the model rooms are for the new AKV and BLT. We had a reservation for lunch at Marrakesh and they even dropped us off at...

    How strict is Disney about the pace requirements?

    8 miles is what I am up to as well! But not running the whole way. I can run 3 miles without walking, but then walk about 2/10ths and then run again. I just want to finish this race so bad. It is going to be such a personal accomplishment for me. This is me in Disney in January 2008...

    Question of Tequila Bar

    There was a couple sitting across from us with a two year old. Needless to say he was really enjoying the guacamole ad salsa and chips! :)

    Question of Tequila Bar

    Being as tall as hubby and I are, it is probably good that we went right at opening when we were there a couple of weeks ago! No crowds! :lol:

    Question of Tequila Bar

    I have major issues normally with the tang of margaritas and this annoying ulcer. HOWEVER- theirs are so smooth and use ZERO sour mixes, only fresh lime. They did not make me sick at all! In fact, the classic margarita is my fave. YUMMY!!!!:sohappy:

    Best snacks that AREN'T sweet!

    We love to share a soft pretzel or some trail mix. Most of the snack carts also have your typical chips etc. Another great snack and our NEW fave is to have some tappas in the tequila bar in Mexico. Their version of a shrimp cocktail is amazing and so are the beef flautas!
