I always worry about that, but we rarely get the kind of snow that really shuts down airports so the chances are pretty unlikely. Always in the back of my mind though! Like Lindsay, we are flying early (Thursday) so we have a day window to get there if we get delayed.
Yeah, I've grown to like the temps in the 30s or 40s. I do my 2 shorter runs on the treadmill so I'm hoping that'll help me in case we have a toasty weekend in Florida.
I have both!
So 10 miles done in 1:52...nice and relaxed. It felt effortless. Runs like that are pretty rare for me. But once tomorrow is done it's taper time!!!
Congrats on day one done! My day one was good too. Day 2...another story.Goofy Dress Rehearsal Day One - complete!
The forecast called for rain and thunder today, but I managed to get out early enough to completely avoid it.
I have 20 miles scheduled tomorrow and I'm sure I won't be able to avoid bad weather - it's supposed to rain all day today (hasn't started yet) and that's supposed to change to snow overnight. Boo!
Good luck this weekend, everyone! We're getting closer in closer - actually 3 weeks from this very moment I should be landing in Orlando...!!!
Yay! 3 weeks from today I will be there already! Can't wait!!!
Congrats on day one done! My day one was good too. Day 2...another story.
Uh-oh! Today is my first day of vacation so the rest of the day will be spent foam/Stick rolling, stretching, and being a lazy bum. Hopefully that will help me not have too crappy of a day tomorrow!
Our flight is on Thursday Jan 10 -- the only thing potentially missed would be the kids' races. I bet if I really had to, I could get them into the Friday or Saturday races if we were delayed.
We are flying from Philly on Thursday. I flew Frontier out to Denver once and they were great! They need to come to AC and give Spirit a run for their money. Please someone other than Spirit in AC!! Trenton is farther than Philly for us but if the price is right we might try it.
Oh well.
Sorry your day 2 ended like mine. Don't you hate the feeling of....I wish I had finished. But when you are in the moment, it sucks so much you have to stop. Arg....I think it is better to stop than get sick, injured, etc when we are sooooo close! Taper is here!!Dress rehearsal day 2 didn't go as well as I'd hoped. We have our first winter storm of the year here and I called it a day at 16 miles. The snow and cold didn't both me too much, but the wind really got to me and I just couldn't handle it. From a physical perspective I felt great, so it's frustrating...I sort of wish I'd just kept going, but I kept having to calm myself down to keep from crying/freaking out, so I THINK it was the right call to just bag it.
In other news, final race instructions have been posted! Go to the Runner Info Tab > Final Race Instructions. I see there are wave starts for the 5K...I don't remember entering in an expected finish time when I registered and the instructions make it sound like there are assigned corrals, not just lining up on the honor system, which is how I thought they did it in the past. Hmm...
Also they are sending the marathon waves out farther apart - every 7 minutes. I wonder why, maybe they think it will help with congestion on the course?

Was listening to Disney podcasts on my 10 mile run today and I'm pretty sure I was grinning the whole way thinking about being in WDW soon and earning those awesome medals!
Yes! I'm still a little bummed but am mostly over it at this point. And HOORAY for taper!!!
How did your long run go?Who knows? I think last year there was 3-4 minutes in between each corral...????? You're right, smaller corrals would be nice.
Just you wait, it will be awesome. Looking forward to hearing about Nashville!shannon - as i was telling krista the other day i was like just think this time next year ill be on my way to disney for my first disney race.. --- and then she she raddles off how many days for her .. i was like i dont want to hear it sister.. but i got Nashville to look foward to in april to tide me over.. till jan..

Great idea! Somehow I didn't realize there were so many of us until it was listed out, as dumb as that sounds.
. My mom mentioned the idea of doing just the half to him (he hasn't been training AT ALL and has had a lot on his plate with trying to get into grad school/contemplating a move across state) and she said he said that he was thinking that too. The fact that he didn't get mad at her mentioning that is a pretty good indication that he might just do the half, I think. He hasn't said anything to me about it yet. We shall see!) , and I think her husband is doing the full. I think @dreamfinder is going Dopey. 
I thought I would start a list of whose coming and which races we are in. I don't know everyone's names so if you have any edits or additions I will add them to the list!

Yeah, probably better not to risk doing a full if you haven't done any training. I know I could never get through a full like that. Although he may try to muscle it out so he doesn't lose out to his sis!Great idea! Somehow I didn't realize there were so many of us until it was listed out, as dumb as that sounds.
My brother is spotty at best for the full at this point...
@Witchy Chick is Tracey/Tracy (sorry, don't remember the correct spelling!
But that could bite him in the a$$ if he gets swept and you finish! Such a quandry he has!
