The Quest For 15K & 18 FP+ ~ A Marathon Weekend 2016 PTR
Well, I gave in to peer pressure (and my incessant need to always be talking about Disney) and decided to start a PTR for our January 2016 trip. For those of you who are new to my ramblings, I’m Sarah, and you’ll learn more about my travelling companion (aka sister, Beth) and me later in this PTR (because writing introductions isn’t so much easy for us). For now, here's a picture of two people who may or may not be us:
This trip will be another runDisney trip, this time for Marathon Weekend. We really have no interest in the marathon itself, but we’re doing the 5K and 10K … aka 15K (9.3 miles) over 2 days. So that’s the first part of the title.
As for the second part … if you read my February 2015 Mini-TR, you may remember our FP+ quest. If not … it’ll come up eventually.
This PTR will be a combination PTR & Training Journal. I’ll post here when I have a trip update (like when we finally book a hotel) or a major running/training milestone (like if I ever hit 5 miles). Mostly I post about my running over on my WISH Journal, but since the running is relevant to the trip, I will keep you guys updated on the highlights.
One thing to know about this PTR is that (even though I’m on the DIS fairly regularly), I’m not planning to update super frequently. For a few reasons, including the fact that I’m trying not to plan too much for this trip.
Since we’re all good DISers here, I know what you’re all thinking … “What do you mean you’re trying not to plan too much?”
On our last trip, we had 2 MK days (well, one and a half) for the first time ever, and we got so much done in our first (half) day that we really were able to have a spontaneous, mostly unplanned 2nd MK day … and we really loved it! So we’ll be booking our 3 FP+ every day, maybe an ADR or two, but beyond that I think we’ll just play it by ear and see how the day goes. We’ve been enough times that we know what we have to do every trip and what we can live without … and I think we can find a way to do all of the essentials (and plenty of the “extras”) without really planning too much.
I also want to throw in some new experiences (like maybe finally making it to mini-golf …), so those will take a little planning … but I’m going to try to just leave us with options and not make every decision in advance.
But enough rambling for now, let’s get to the PTR. But first, one of my favorite Disney pictures …
Want to know more about us? Introductions will come eventually … hopefully later this week.
