I had to skip the meet as well. If anyone is up for a meet tomorrow or Sunday let me know!
Well guess who is headed back to the expo for the third time after she cleans up? My chip didn't register right and gave me a time of 2:00ish. Yeah no I didn't start with the A corral. I know they will probably fix it but I just kind of want an explanation. And want to know if they will fix it before tomorrow morning. Because I need this time for WDW Full and I don't want to spend time talking with RunDisney on the phone if I don't have to.
What'd everyone think of the 10K? I thought it was super organized with a lot of great CM support around the course. I was disappointed that there was zero entertainment on the non-Disney sections. I understand that Disney doesn't control those areas, but they could still put some bands or something out there like almost every other road race.
There were also some great photo ops (and I stopped for every one) but I was surprised how few character stops there were. The parade floats were okay, but not the same as character stops.
Looking forward to tomorrow! I hope the weather stays cool - it was perfect this morning. I was actually chilly walking back to my hotel before 7am.
I had the same issue as well. I wonder how many people this happened to. I'll be headed to the expo to try and fix the problem before tomorrow's 1/2 marathon.
I keep trying to get into the New Balance virtual que to get shoes today, but it says it is closed as of yesterday at 1:15pm...? I thought it reopened each morning for that day? Tried at about 7am this morning and again just now. I would really like some shoes without waiting hours and hours.
Enjoyed the 10k. Liked that so much of it was in the parks - especially DCA lit up. And sorry but the nerd in me liked the way they got people back through Downtown Disney after the race by switching people back and forth. Pretty ingenious.

Let me know how it goes on your end!
Hope everyone had a great time during the 10k this morning! I am running the half only this year because I was originally flying in Saturday morning, but changed my schedule to arrive Friday a few months ago. I'll admit, it was really hard yesterday watching everyone (including my running buddy) pick up their DDD stuff, especially since the DDD shirt itself is so cute and the half shirt is so ugly.
I'll admit it, though, I had a blast this morning watching the race and cheering on the runners, and don't regret not getting to run anymore. I was standing right after mile 6 with a sign that said "you're totally winning!", and it was fun to see all the laughs and smiles it provoked. AND, and I ended up chatting with Sean Astin for about 15 minutes, which was both random and awesome.
I have to admit, I have undertrained for the race this time, and I'm a little nervous that it will not go well, but all I can do is my best. See you all on the course tomorrow!
Haha, awesome! It's funny how that happens sometimes. The picture turned out great, thanks again! The race today was rough for me because I skimped on my training this time around, but I'm grateful it was overcast for most of the race at least.
