Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

Ugh, go away rain! I’m having flashbacks to 2014... I’ll be heading over to the expo on Saturday - hoping for pretty non-existant crowds so I can get in and out quickly. It sounds like the new setup has been pretty painless. I like the idea of not having to walk all the way back to the Milk House, that was a smart change.

Good luck to everyone running the 5K tomorrow!

I’m headed to the Expo now!! My room at AKL was ready at 10am!! Plus it is a savannah upgrade. So that’s rad.

I don't know what I'm more excited for...the races or the pre-party meet. Sure hope @RunningKoen gets here ok.

It's forecasted to rain both tonight and tomorrow night. Great, running on a slippery, wet Boardwalk.

Thanks for thinking of me! It’s been an exhausting week so I’m glad I’m only participating in Wine and Dine vicariously though you

Yeah, and that section being at the end of the course is even more worrisome. Tired feet don’t tend to land as carefully. I know I personally can fall over standing still so I don’t need the extra obstacles!

Tampa's getting slammed with really nasty weather right now - suspected tornado damage. And multiple tornado warnings.

Got a weather alert for Orlando area - will be a very windy night with lots of rain. Great.

I have never entered Epcot for the 10k when it was still dark. Like being in the middle corral.

Anyone heard from @RunningKoen? Sure hope he made it to the race.

 

[RunningKoen]

Im completely awake, but I relaxed for an hour in my bath tub.

The bathrooms at All star resort are ultra safe by the way. The tub is So small, I cannot drown in there, even if I tried.

I just spent 20 minutes in the hot tub...in my running shorts. Ran in 3 other runners doing the same.
