I’ve been catching up on the stolen bib drama that was posted on FB. Absolutely crazy! I’m so glad rD takes this seriously and helps to keep everything fair, honest, and safe. The guy claimed he “found” the bibs dropped on the floor. But had crossed out the girl’s name, ripped off the tracking...

Will Jake be making character appearances on course? 😂

I think it’s definitely better - allows a few more people to be correctly sorted into an earlier corral. Honestly, I wish the POT time range was even wider, but maybe I’m still bitter about running a sub-2:45 right before they changed it to 2:30 (back in 2020). 😂

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon!

Themes and registration dates are up! https://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/wine-and-dine-half-marathon-weekend/ I’m not totally feeling the themes - seems kinda all over the place. And they really love using the US for the Half, don’t they? 😂 But of course I can’t stay away and I’ll be...

Anyone else running 2.22 miles/kilometers today in honor of “Twosday”? 😊

Make sure you leave plenty of extra time to make it through bag check prior to getting to the finish line area. My family has missed me many times because of it. It’s much better now, with the new scanners, but it adds an extra walk when you’re already rushing and might not be expecting it.

Hopefully rest will help loosen it up. My husband uses a homemade heating pad - just rice in a sock that he microwaves for a little bit. Seems to help if the pain isn’t too severe.

Thank you!! And definitely glad it wasn’t yesterday! I had to pick up my bib yesterday, and they had everything set up outside. The wind gusts were just crazy. It definitely made all the difference.

I decided to go with just one layer. I had a large scrap of fleece fabric I used as a throwaway blanket at the start. I also had gloves that I took off around mile 6. If the wind had been worse I probably would have worn more, but it was only about 5 mph. There were a couple times towards the...

Another fantastic Celebration Half this morning! I mentioned in the What Did You Do thread, but I PR’d by almost 2 minutes (2:41:10). According to my phone, the “feels like” temperature at the start was 25°, but without the gusty wind, it wasn’t too bad. Only about 2200 participants between the...

Oh no! I hope you’re feeling better now! Definitely not worth pushing yourself through it and injuring yourself further. And wow, that’s quite the elevation change! I’d say you certainly got your workout in!

So apparently I need to only run races in the cold, because I PR’d by almost 2 minutes this morning! I honestly had no expectations of beating my 2020 time - I figured it was my “white whale.” Guess I just needed some near freezing temps to push me along. 😊 Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Yeah, layers are definitely the way to go. There’s a fine art in deciding what to wear - it seems like a degree change can mean the difference between overheating and being comfortable. And a Buff is a great idea!

You’re right, I think the 5K was colder - at least it won’t be as cold as 2010 (I didn’t run that year, but heard about the frozen water stops from a coworker). Thankfully I still have some warm weather gear from when I went panic shopping in 2017, so I just need to figure out the perfect...

OMG - the “feels like” temperature at the start of my half on Sunday is forecasted to be 25. 😳 I can’t remember what the temperatures were like at the 2018 WDW Half, but I’m thinking this is going to be colder. There’s even a freeze advisory - great motivation to run faster! I’m used to training...

Medals are up! Springtime Surprise Medal Reveal

It was 45 when I went out for my 7 mile run this morning - quite chilly for central Florida! It actually felt perfect for running and I was probably a bit overdressed. I have the Celebration Half next week, so I’m hoping for similar weather (and praying I can avoid injury and illness between...

Yeah, without Primeval “Hurl” 😉 and Everest, I don’t know if an after party is worth it for this event. The scavenger hunt (which occurred after the 5K) ended at the entrance to Dinoland, so the party was limited to that area. Of course, that was pre-Pandora and all the nighttime enhancements...

I received a similar email (problem with payment). Just spoke with the nicest CM at shopDisney and he processed the new payment and sent it over to the billing department. Said it should ship within 1-2 weeks. He commented that it was a beautiful poster, so he understood why I definitely wanted...
