    Club 33 was a major disappointment.

    this is a great point, but I will say that every aspect of a meal that costs $150per person, including two very young children, should be excellent, ESPECIALLY the service. I live in LA, and we're notorious here for wait staff that has terrible attitudes because they all think they are days...

    Yoga and Pilates

    Ashtanga, 6 days a week (well, not today, full moon!), and it is now the only exercise I do. I am completely devoted to the practice. I had to quit running because of repetitive stress injuries and was looking for way to stay fit without the pounding. To be honest all those years of running made...

    Official 2011 Disneyland Half Thread!

    My third, and probably my last, for all of the reasons Sarah Rose noted. it is just too hot to train in the summer here in LA. I hate doing a month of 10+ mile runs in August. plus, it really is way too expensive. Fun race for the first 3 miles, and Angels Stadium, but the rest? bleh...

    Clif Shot Blok ?

    90 minutes? Everything else I have read says 60 minutes, and just from personal experience, that seems to work best for me (obviously everyone is different). For me, and me alone, best seems to be: one GU shot at the instant the run starts, then one every 45 minutes thereafter.

    Insanity...anyone???

    Yup, here is a cut and paste of my thoughts on Insanity from an old thread. Feel free to ask any questions you may have: I did it, and I'd say the name is pretty appropriate. It is VERY difficult. I would only try to tackle it if you are already at a fairly high fitness level. Month 1 is...

    Little Mermaid in Soft Opening right now!

    I got the chance to ride yesterday, and while it is ok, and I'm sure will be a huge hit with the young kids, I was pretty disappointed. Definitely a case of WAY too high expectations on my part. With so much time and so many resources are devoted to a single attraction, I expected something...

    *Official 2013 Disney Princess Half Marathon Runners' Thread!*

    tentatively thinking that WDW 2013 will be my first as well. I want to get one in before I turn 40, and this will do the trick (with about 10 days to spare) :lmao: re: GU shots, man did I come to the party late on this one. Do NOT ignore Charles' fantastic advice on this. I tried to power...

    Staples Center

    re: Staples, playoff tix for the Lakers are essentially the hottest commodity in town from April - June. You can get them on StubHub, but expect to pay a very significant price for them, even for upper level seats. That said, for an NBA fanatic, a Lakers home playoff game is a GREAT experience...

    Time for new shoes?

    IMO, yes, I'm a pretty big guy (6'3" 220) for a runner and I find that around 200-250 miles, my shoes are starting to break down and I need new ones.

    P90x

    In the one on one series, there is a great workout that is made to be done when you are on the road and lacking your normal equipment. You don't even need the video, honestly, as long as you get the concept, which could not be more simple. it is called UML (for upper, middle, lower) You do...

    where to watch english soccer in wdw?

    espn.com streams a bunch of Premier League games now, but you never know which games they will carry. They also run La Liga , Serie A, and Ligue 1, so its luck of the draw as to whether you'll get Tottenham That said, where are my Arsenal supporters?!?!?!

    Shades of Green

    Agree with most of the things said above. Essentially, at SOG, you are getting a deluxe hotel for Value prices. If you are eligible,. or have family/friends that are eligible, you'd be crazy (imnsho) to stay anywhere else. We have stayed at Deluxe, Mods, and Values, and all things considered...

    P90x

    I've never tried it, but Tony does have a 10-minute Trainer series that is supposed to be really great. Maybe worth checking out for those who struggle with the longer workouts Also, I think i mentioned I am doing Tony's One On One series now and most of those workouts are on the short side...

    P90x

    congrats on getting through it! Surprising that you are good at it, but still don't like it? I struggle with it, which makes me not want to do it, but as I improve, I actually enjoy it more. Anyway, hang in there, try fountain of youth, and great job! Legs and Back is the one that I can't stand...

    P90x

    I know everyone hates the Yoga rountine, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to the program and how good it is for your general fitness. As a runner and p90x grad, I can tell you with certainty that replacing yoga with a run is not a good substitution. If you really can't get...
