My last day in the World! A bit sad, but I needed a vacation from my vacation. I'm definitely not a "sleep-in, relax-by-the-pool" type of tourist. I want to see as much as possible with the time and money that I have. By this point, my aggressive sight-seeing had caught up with me. Anywho, I...

"You know how many times I've been to Disney - NONE" I completely get your view on this! People hear me talking about trips (that I don't take that often), or things that I've done, and their take is, 'must be nice.' But really, I sacrifice things like cranking up the air or heat in summer or...

I'd had a couple of really long days before this one, so I let myself sleep in a bit before heading to MK. I LOVE MK, to be cheesy, I think it is "magic." :goodvibes Additionally, I knew this could be a laid-back kinda day, since I'd gotten most of my "must-do" rides done at MNSSHP. I got to...

Day 4 of my trip and one that I was really looking forward to: my day at US! The last time I'd been to the World was in 2008, with my parents and nephew. I think it was within 6 months after our trip that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was announced. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, so a...

I woke up around 9-ish, since I had an 11:30 ADR at Via Napoli and I wanted plenty of time to grab coffee at the hotel, get to Epcot and find Italy. I was on a bus around 9:30 and at Epcot by 10. Since I was quite early, I got a FP for Soarin', a ride I'd never ever done but heard was great...

Sorry for all the pic issues, folks...still figuring it all out!

The day of the race! Woo!!!! I decided to hit a park that morning since I didn't have to board a bus to the race until about 7 PM. Luckily, there were EMH at AK, and that was the park I'd spent the least time in out of my trips to the World. I got up early and grabbed a bagel and coffee from...

- Setting the Scene - Back in February, while signing up for about a kajillion half-marathons (actual number: 3), I realized I was almost 30, that I'd been running for about 2 years, and that I wanted to do something awesome for myself. Right after I started running, I started reading...

About to cancel: Raglan Road - 10/4, 7:30 PM, for 1 Chefs de France - 10/9, 12 PM, for 1 Not really going to hesitate after posting as I don't think too many people will be scrambling for these solo ressies.

I will be doing my first solo trip at the exact same time! Neat.

Thank you, Princess V! Seeing this come through my daily thread update inspired me to look for ART practitioners in my area, after struggling with IT band issues since March. Stretching, strengthening, foam rolling, even a cortisone shot didn't seem to do the trick. I found a chiro who does it...

Corral D - I'm pretty happy. On a related note, I decided that a trial run in my costume was a good idea this morning. At the last minute I chickened out and decided not to wear the tutu. It came down to not wanting strangers to think I escaped from some psychiatric ward...even if not many...

FYI - I did some serious searching last night and found some great options for socks. :woohoo: Links: http://www.q-sport.com/podottuso.html http://www.sportwide.com/ItemMatrix.asp?Cc=spw_vb_socks&GroupCode=7935&MatrixType=1 http://www.absolutesportsocks.com/rl-2808white.html Hope...

Started my tutu last week. The pieces are one yard long and don't droop enough to bother me. Also, I only got one yard of each color, so it won't be too terribly bulky. I am also excited about WDW in the fall. I have never been at this time of year. Also looking forward to MNSSHP, bought my...

Going in uninjured sounds like a great goal! I think I'll swipe it. Back to the doctor for my IT Band this week. I should be able to get a cortisone shot. It will be my first one and I'm a bit nervous, but I'm hoping it will help me run pain-free again!

If all else fails, I/you can always use fabric markers on plain white socks. Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc. should have them.

I plan on making/throwing together a Cruella de Vil costume I saw online. My BFF said she'd help me make a black, white and red tutu, I still need to find a red racerback running tank, red sleeves and dalmatian-esque printed socks. Still undecided on whether to spray my hair....not sure if all...

I signed up yesterday to volunteer at Hospital Hill! I'll be at the finish line, handing out food/drinks. :thumbsup2

I'm a big fan of Hammer Gels. I like the Apple Cinnamon flavor ONLY, however. It tastes like apple sauce/fried apples! The other flavors are yucky. I typically take one every 5 miles (or hour, whichever comes first). I have tried the Jelly Belly Sport Beans, but I thought they were much too...

This is encouraging! I am also going in October and so far no dice.
