Thanks for the info! That is the kind of detail that helps me a lot. I picked the event for the date and location, but now I'm warming up to the concept. I'm intrigued by the format and being around ultra runners. Is this how they tempt people into excessive distances? Like if I enjoy it, i...

For a goal race in January, I wanted to pick a no-travel option. I picked a strange race organized by a local ultra group, and wanted to know if any of you had tried something similar. It's part of an Ultra day, and the 50K runners start in the AM. It's a 2.6 mile trail/bike trail, and each...

Anything at Satu'li Canteen or Docking Bay 7. Love that the food is so beautiful and delicious.

Oh, I've been gone from the boards for so long! Had to get caught up a little. My latest running adventure was doing a couch to 5K with my daughter who just graduated from high school and is off to Army Basic Training tomorrow! We had a good time, although she "hates" running. She was a good...

Oh I've been off the forums too long! Just got caught up here and forgot how much I love this thread. Signed up for a birthday marathon in SC in January. They are offering flexible registration credit if COVID continues to impact races. I'm much excited. Found a new running group here and...

I just love knowing what my mitochondria are up to.... 😁😁

During an adult-only trip to marathon in 2016, my mom, my youngest sister and I had dinner at Park Fare. Of course, Lady Tremaine and her two daughters were there. They LOVED the fact that we "left our other sister at home" to clean (she did house cleaning at the time). It was HUGELY...

This would be great, and depending on my co travelers, I'll come by! Thanks for organizing!

Loved your race recap! Thanks for the details. We started Disenchanted, and I loved it, but felt like I needed to watch an episode of MLP Friendship is Magic just to cleanse my brain from the irony and uh... disenchantment. BTW back on track with my 10K plan... just adjusted the dates for...

Caught up on your training journal just in time for a race recap! Lots going on with you... Good job on the half.

Coffee report: on a total whim I purchased a Starbucks drink called a Dark Cherry Mocha. It was Saturday after my 6 miler. It was amazing! It had whipped cream and cherry and mocha. It comes with a straw, unlike typical coffee. Once my employer (regional management) asked us to limit our...

Congrats on the job! Your shopping list is almost identical to mine: new thoracic soft tissue restrainer, new Garmin, new running skirt, and the 2019 WDW marathon. Although I don't think the marathon will happen yet... My sisters talked me into W&D, and I don't see 2 adult Disney trips in 3...

Echo: hope it heals fast. Love your fitness analysis; will help you manage your next few weeks well. Amazing bday pics!

Oh it was so worth it to catch up on this thread! There is a perfect time and place for gaming, and you found it. After my Feb 24 race, I can write you a recap. Coming up soon. I'll make it data-ful with some numbers and such from Strava/Garmin.

THIS is why I read journals: so much detail from an entirely new perspective! I love hearing about which trains and why, what you're gonna wear, what you fuel with, etc... I've never had to subway to a race (is that a verb?) and now I'm seriously impressed that you are so adept at trains...

Black coffee drinker here as well. Prefer Starbucks Blonde roast but rarely available. If I go for frou frou? Iced Mocha Latte. Then my sister taught me how to make iced coffee in about 3 minutes last summer, and it is my favorite non-water daily drink during hot weather. Insta-pack of...

So much fun to read your recap... I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat. So sorry little G was sick and I hope y'all were able to salvage the Descendant's dress!! I love your mom's success, too, and it makes me happy to hear how well she did. Amazing amazing Coach you are! Thanks...

I swear there are nights that everything that could go wrong with my technology does, and usually right before I head out. I REALIZE in my head that it doesn't matter if my run is recorded, and sometimes I run without music/talk; but somehow it can derail me. I'm shopping for a new Garmin bc...

Thanks! I've got shoes on the way now. Cheapest price I've seen on my current NB. ATTQOTD: This is my thought, too. I'd go back and tell myself that following a training plan is a short term section of a long term lifestyle of getting out the door. It's a big allegory for life, and running...
