Trying to decide if I should just rest and recoop or just charge forward with schedule. That 20 miler is the last super duper long run....
Not decided.
See ya all in a few weeks!!!
Physically, you don't need the other 20 miler in order to be ready to complete the marathon distance (don't know if you have specific time goals or an aggressive training plan). Mentally, it's whatever you need to convince yourself you are ready to run. Don't be afraid to rest if your body needs it.

The group had a bunch of locations and offices and I didn't know which one would be best so I just called one and told them I had a knee injury from running and would like to see the doctor that could best help me. The lady was so unhelpful. She kept saying that there are a bunch of doctors that could help me. I finally just said for her to pick one and didn't talk anymore. So she gave me the name of the doctor and the first appt available is this coming Friday (right before my 5k). I didn't feel too comfortable about the likelyhood of this being a great doctor so I looked him up online. Well, he went to pre-med, Med school, and did his residency at the University of Florida (I am a die hard Gator and know they have an awesome school so this made me feel better). Plus he's the Team physician for the University of Central Florida, Assistant team physician for the Orlando Magic, and Physician for the Orlando Ballet. So I feel a lot better about him!
I talked to my brother's girlfriend too who is an orthopedic surgeon. I told her where it was hurting and how and she said while she can't definitely say since she didn't examine me, it sounds like Patello-Femoral Syndrome (which I looked up and is Runner's Knee). She described 2 excersizes to do. So we'll see if it turns out to be that. I just want to run again but I'm scared at the same time.
IF I run the 5k this weekend and feel okay (doubt it since my knee hurts during stairs and bending down and other random times...can't imagine the running will feel good) but if it does, what should I do for my weekend runs? Do the 5k, then 6 miles, then 9 miles, then taper back? That doesn't take me near the 13 miles
rocio said:*snooze* I don't know the song is okay, but to pump me up to get ready to run 26 miles?!?! Not so much.

wow...go away for a couple weeks and the original thread just disappears. Oh, wait...part2.
Reading through everything to catch up.
I am also a walking Zomibe. Fatigued as can be. Seem to be eating everything I can get my hands on (luckily no weight gain).
Finished 20 miler yesterday morning...was jazzed. Will do 12 mile this coming, but schedule calls for another 20 following weekend.

Truthfully, I didn't like any of the 3 choices! I mean, they are ok songs but just nothing inspiring!
I have read elsewhere that bib numbers are often released several weeks in advance, and from your number, you can get a better idea as to what corral you were assigned to. So how is this info released? Emailed/snail mailed to you? Or do you have to go somewhere and look?
On runDisney's website the waivers will be posted, guessing tomorrow. On the waiver, your race number will be listed. Historically, corral placement has been a guess until the expo. However, in the Wine and Dine, Disney did post a table of bibs with corrals.
Lets hope they can remix a more upbeat version..

I agree, it's a nice song but... not my pre-race choice. Maybe they'll remix it. Anyway, I'll have my own music ready to go on the trusty iPhone. Still not sure what my personal race-start song will be.

If it's any consolation....
The waivers are near! The waivers are near!
Not quite open for business but soon.
