    Easiest way to get to Hollywood

    Great suggestions. Thanks a lot. Another question, how much should I expect to pay for a cab from LAX to my hotel near DL? I was wondering if the bus transfers were worth it or not, it would be about $50.00 for the three of us.

    Newbie Disney runner question

    I have run a bunch of Disney races, at first I was in line real early to catch the bus. Now, I don't worry about it too much. I suggest getting in line for the bus at 3:45. I always stay at All Stars, there are a lot of runners there, and the line moves real fast, the transportation for the...

    Expedition Everest Challenge

    My family and I did it in 2009 and it was a total Blast, even with the rain. We fortunately were in the front of the pack so we were able to finish before they called the race. I highly recommend it.

    Marathon weekend- report your times here

    Well...... I'm not really sure. Somewhere in the 20's my mind started to play tricks on me, I was making excuses, saying to myself, "if I just walk a little my legs will feel better". That kind of stuff. My last 4 miles were a little tough, averaged 12 min miles. But, I went into the race...

    Marathon weekend- report your times here

    Finished my first Full in 4:42. Had a great time, the last 5 miles were definately mind over matter, but I pushed through and can honestly say I ran the whole thing. That was my goal, to run the whole thing. I, fortunately, did not suffer from any post race feelings. I am signed up to do the...

    Longest training run before running your first Full Marathon?

    Well, I did 16 miles this morning. I love running in this cool weather. It was 44 this morning when I started and 60 when I finished. I think I'm not drinking enough, my lips are getting really dry and I had a tough time the last mile. I also got a stitch around mile 14. (aren't stitches...
