BTW, nancy drew, my DH doesn't care about the medal and says that you can have his. If you'd like it pm me your address I'd be happy to send it to you!

Wow, really? That is so nice! I'm going to try to contact someone on the cruise line and see if they can send me one, but if not then I will PM you. Thank you, and tell your husband thank you too!
Curious what the new certificates look like. Can anyone post a picture?
They also said the run sat a record with 260 participants.
We have an excursion we have to be back at, at 9:30. But we are still eyeing this. If the race started 8:45 or even a little later, we think it could still be done. Or at least...very motivating to keep a good clip!

Just off the Dream and ran the 5K on Tuesday! It was my first 5K in over 8 years. I was so excited to use this as motivation to get back into training and was really pleased with a 31 minute time. As everyone says it's like running on the sun there - so be prepared! I drank lots of water and gatorade the day before to make sure I was hydrated. Our navigator had us meet at 8:15 and we started the 5K right around 9. They did have medals, which made me really happy after reading some recent posts! (It's all about the plastic bling!) Now I'm using the fun I had to hopefully run the Princess Half Marathon in February!
And really glad to hear they started right around 9. Maybe if the people signed up are more prompt (and they would rather get started before it gets even hotter) then they can head out sooner!
It was quite a warm morning and some runners complained that there was only one water station on the course (another at the end). DH said that some felt the course was not well marked.
I do agree the course was not well marked at parts, but they did show us a map before the race (it was on TV screens in Diversions where we met). We had water at the start of the race and at one other point which was a spot we passed at least 3 times due to the nature of the course.
