    Condo rental with great pool, nice bar, free parking. Suggestions?

    We are a family of four going down just before new year's for a week. Ideally I'd like 3 br, but I'm flexible there. We have stayed at Sheraton Vistana and Hilton HGV (can't remember which one but it wasn't too far). We liked them both, but Vistana felt a little threadbare in some ways. If I...

    Calling all Princesses! (2014 Princess Half Marathon Weekend)- thread #2

    Hi Folks, The last two years I've been very involved in these boards, and I'm just checking in now this year, which is weird! I still think of WISH as my team! I'm doing the GSC, my third princess, and my daughter is doing the 10K with me, her first 10K at 11 years old. I'm slow but I...

    Treadmills, iFit Live, Google Maps, all greek to me

    Beaucoup, I have the exact same question you posted originally here. I've researched to death too (may be a common disboards ailment) and am a bit stumped. The google maps feature is SOOO appealing, but I have read so many bad reviews about both iFit and NordicTrack/Icon, I'm nervous...

    Calling all Princesses! (2014 Princess half marathon board)

    Just checking in. I've been MIA since just before PHM 2013. I had a lot of fun and got some great photos (despite the awful marathonfoto debacle). I'm in for my third princess next year. See you all there!

    I've been using Charity Miles for a few months now and I immediately thought of you when the Shot@Life option came up. I did my long run (11 miles) for them last weekend!

    OK, I guess my gator vision isn't what I thought! :) Glad to hear they're little and not too hungry, lol. Well, Julie, if we walk, we will probably only see SMALL gators. Don't you feel safer? LMAO! (I'm still more afraid of Disney security.) :scared:

    LOL, I've thought about this. Thing is, I've NEVER seen a gator at Disney, and I always look for them because I've seen them all over Florida. There are a lot of places at Disney that seem like natural gator spots--little swampy areas by the highway with brush around, flood areas along roads...

    Julie, I feel exactly the same way--a little freaked about "breaking the rule" but possibly tempted enough to do it. Last year was my first princess and my first half and I figured I should check out the whole process. This year I'm not feeling the need to go from a dark parking lot through a...

    I'm in C. Was feeling excited about my 2:44 finish (first thing I thought was "good enough for corral placement at PHM!") getting me there until I came here tonight, LOL. I'm glad so many WISHers will be there anyway, whether from pixie dust or proof of time! As for the walk to the...

    Wow, it took a while to get caught up! I'm 6960. Hoping for C but happy with D (or whatever!). As many have said, the party is in the back of the pack! Having the waivers up helps me think about my 11 miles this weekend. We're supposed to get up to three FEET of snow, so I'm planning to...

    Totally not cheating. I can't remember where I read it (probably either runner's world or The First 20 Minutes by Gretchen Reynolds), but I read that you can even have hours between parts of a long run and if it all occurs on the same day you will still make roughly the same endurance gains...

    That sounds so tempting but I know my head would explode if I tried to do 10 on a TM. It's still under 20F this morning so I'm sipping espresso and waiting for it to get closer to the predicted high of 31F. At least it's sunny and not terribly windy. Last week my 10 in sub-freezing weather...

    That makes sense. So maybe it's less a "stop running" message and more a "dial back the focused race training and do more cross training and strength work to address body mechanics and muscle balance so you can return to your next event with gorgeous form and smokin' speed" message! I like...

    Jodi--great writeup! So cool! Cripey--that stinks about the don't run advice. It's good that the support is there either way, but you might want to get another opinion from a chiro who is a runner. I know there are some medical folks who think running is just bad (and the science doesn't...

    You guys are cracking me up with the nightmares! @Tabetha, thanks for the mascara tip. I remember you from last year--love your blog! (ETA: drat, looks like it's only available in Canada. I suppose that happens to Canadians all the time so I shouldn't complain. :) )

    I confess I once got lost (with two kids in tow) in MCO and I travel for work regularly. There are lots of signs--even when we got lost, we were only lost for a few minutes. :) ITA. This is a great group. Just wanted to send good wishes to those dealing with emotional and physical (and...
