Why did I even bother looking to see what you wrote?
That is an awesome time!!! Congratulations!Ran my qualifying 10k this morning. Won my age group 30-39 and 5th overall with a 46:15. Beat my PR by 1 second so I was pretty happy. Really need to work on my pacing before the half. If I go out nearly as fast (7:00/mi) as I did this morning I'm gonna crash towards the end of the W&D. I'm aiming to have a consistent 8:00/mi in the half.
1st and 2nd overall in my 10k went to these twins who went to my high school and are looking to qualify for the Olympic Trials for the 2nd time.

DW informed me Saturday evening that she might be interested in the Memorial Day 5k I was signed up to do. I tiptoed around Sunday evening, and finally asked her about her Monday plans. She said yes!
It was a bit muggy already, and there was real trail funning during 1 portion (uphill, in the woods, with warnings about rocks and roots), but we did it. I was 3rd in my age group at 28:30, and DW was 39:10.
I've had some sort of cramp (that's what I'm telling myself) deep in my right calf for days. Painful to put weight on. Some massaging Saturday and Sunday evenings, plus calf sleeves during the run, and I made it. Cross training in the local pool this am. Starting to feel a bit better. I've got the Harrisburg 1/2, my first, in about 4 weeks, and am a little bummed that I've had to pull back, but I know it is for the best.
Still trying for those elusive dining selections that we really wanted. Anybody else getting lucky there?
I can speak from experience... I stayed at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for marathon weekend, Hilton Bonnet Creek for TOT, and Buena Vista Suites for W&D. I felt perfectly safe at all locations, even deep in the middle of the night. And having been carjacked earlier in life, I am very, very cautious about being alone in the middle of the night. Now I didn't need a taxi (I'm local-ish and drive to WDW), but I wouldn't think twice about it if I did. Hope that helps!Well, maybe I will just get opinions. I was talking with my DH about my trip. Just DD25 and I are going to W&D. He was concerned that by staying offsite at Bonnet Creek we would have to take taxis by ourselves (2 women alone), several times late at night. He feels we would be safer inside the Disney "bubble", by staying onsite and taking Disney transportation. Now he has me questioning my off site stay. Any thoughts about women traveling alone, late at night, off site or on site?
