So you know it's all up to you to scope out the situation and report back...no pressure or anything.

OMG!!! @sumlee ... you KNOW you will be all of our heroes if you get pics!!

Mission accepted! I won't let you down!

I did my 10km yesterday, 55:30. It was about 4 minutes off what i'm capable of, but not bad for 11 days after surgery!

Another think with calcium supplements, you can't take them with other medications because they interfere with absorption.

I did not know about spinach and slowing bone healing, i'll have to look into that. I eat a LOT of spinach.

Congrats on a successful 10k. Especially so soon after surgery.

Hope everybody has had a good Spring of running and submitted your POT. Deadline is just about here.

This!

Was supposed to run my last PoT race this past Saturday, but the unbelievable amounts of rain and flooding postponed it until the 13th, so that's a no-go for DLH for me. I'm fine with my current time, even though it's not as "fast" as I would like, I have bigger goals on the horizon to work towards. Hopefully, my finish at DLH will be better than my expected time after I put in all the work!

And hopefully, I can shave off some more minutes in anticipation of Wine & Dine.

Wow that's an amazing time! Good for you

Last night I submiitted DH's new and improved POT from our weekend 10k. He now has an estimated time of 2:28 for the half to go with my 2:45. Although I stuck with my original POT, I was pretty happy with my official time (1:15:14) from the 10k on the weekend given I didn't do any specific training for it - was still my second best time!

I'll be interested to see how they do corrals! The Half last year went out to letter J last year with 12,400 entrants. Tinkerbell went to letter H this year with 11,034.

I know it all depends on how many people qualify at certain times, but it will certainly be interesting!

When does Disney release bib and corral info?

When does Disney release bib and corral info?

I think it was about a month prior to the race last year.

@zanzibar138 is correct!

 

[almacdonald]

I think it was about a month prior to the race last year.

I have to wait THAT long? I'm concerned that they won't accept the race we used as our PoT, I just want confirmation. *pout*

 

[Ariel484]

3 months from this very moment I will be in California...possibly checking in at the hotel.

That is all.

 

[Ariel484]

ALSO - today is the last day to submit your proof of time! Do it, do it now!!

If the 5k is the design for the medal, I'm kicking myself for not signing up. The 60th Mickey and Minnie are so cute

 

[Ariel484]

That 5K medallion (because that is what it has to be, right?) is perfection. I'm dead. DEAD.

Thanks for sharing the pics, completely missed them w/ all the SW stuff this morning. As if I couldn't be more excited for this weekend, this makes me that much more!


Is it too early for costume talk/help? My plan for the 5k is DL 60th. Wearing the ears I made for the celebration stuff last weekend and am making my shirt. I found a cool design for the front and on the back, I was printed out all the ride posters to iron on to the shirt as well. They're about 1½-2 inches by 3 inches. I printed all of them up through the 80s. My question (opinions needed) is, is it too much to have all the posters on the shirt? There's about 40 of them, but they're small. I'm not tiny so I think there'd be enough room, it'd be on an XL shirt if that helps.

I actually asked for help with my costume a couple of days ago, but I don't think anyone noticed lol!

Personally I would pick out maybe your favourite poster from each land and make them a bit bigger. People might not notice what they are if they're too small. If it's more for you though and you don't mind if people don't notice, then by all means include them all!
