Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

[Figment82]

I just hope the downward trend in temperatures continue - it was downright miserable two weekends ago. Last weekend was a bit more tolerable and this coming Sunday looks even better. Even if just the humidity stays down, I’d be pleased. Nothing like having to take two showers after a run because the first didn’t “take”...

Just received my gift card in my inbox so we’re getting close to race weekend! Yesterday’s weather was so beautiful for my 4-mile taper - here’s hoping the upcoming weekend is just as nice.

My training hasn’t been super ideal, with a baby who wants to constantly be on me and nurse, but I’m looking forward to getting out there and just enjoying the experience.

Hopefully there will be pins left. I waited too long for pre-order apparently. Should be there by noon Friday.

Two more tips:
1) Watch for the time change. In the US we 'fall back' this weekend. So an extra hour of sleep Sunday.
2) Go into the runners-only corral area for that last minute port-a-potty visit. Lines are much shorter. In previous races there has also been water available.

You live in the frozen north of Europe. Floridians will be wearing fur coats.

I actually wish it would be warmer. Commit to sweating and run lol.

Are you looking for the race pin, medal replica pin, "I did it pin"? I usually end up with duplicates. Let me know and you can have my duplicates.

You're insane ...

The race shirts are out and they are amazing.

For those who haven't gone to the Expo yet, bib pickup is now in the Arena where the official rD & pre-order merchandise is. One CM indicates the medal replica pins are nearly sold out. The 5k shirt this year isn't bad, so I may wear it.

Corral assignments:

B for 5k. Yes, rD put me in the 2nd corral for a race.

C for 10k. Wow.

Expo in and out in 90 munutes.

Race. Appreciate the offer. But if they have them at the expo I'll go ahead and grab them. Thanks!

Cold front coming through up north but looks like it's not going to make Orlando. I'm about 370 miles north and morning temps will be in the 40s. But yeah, there will be some locals bundled up for temps in the 60s.

I do believe we said Sunday the 4th, Mexico outside by the Donald backdrop.

After Illuminations!!

I just left school! Flying tomorrow! It’s a Disney Eve!

For those of you who pre-ordered the shoe ornament, it is really cool this year. Not gonna spoil.

1st expo experience was fun. I wasn't aware that there are "I did it" stuff along with the registration shirts.

Passholder shirts are 2xl only and everything else is pretty sold out.

Got some pins, couple shirts and a new tervis

Enjoy the races everyone! I may finally get out for a run this weekend (have had family visiting, have been traveling, have been dealing with a cold) and I know I will be quite happy to have 40s-50s temps instead of the higher temps I am seeing for Orlando...
