Goofy update: I hurt my foot running 2 weeks ago. 
I've been walking instead of running since then. I'm NOT happy about it. I did manage some run 5sec/walk 55sec intervals yesterday and finished 6 miles at 14 min/mile pace. It's very frustrating. I'll see what Jeff Galloway (my ecoach) says to do next weekend for my long miles. I have one more long mileage weekend before tapering for the race...
I don't really have a lot ADRs or other plans for the weekend. We're having dinner at Via Napoli on Friday night (before the 1/2 marathon). It's an early ADR. Not sure what we're eating before the full marathon. My roommate has a sensitive stomach but I need to EAT!
We're staying at the Poly so I can always get the pasta dish from Kona. That's what I ate the night before my first half marathon in 2011 so I know it's ok for me.
Princess update: I really need to make some ADRs for this trip but since we're staying off-site I figure we can eat off-site for some meals, too. I think we want to eat at La Hacienda one night...
August update: I got some hotel pricing. Both Jessica and Nathaniel have proclaimed BLT as their favorite Disney hotel.
I'm leaning towards there. 2 rooms at POR is cheaper but no kitchen and no washer/dryer. And relying solely on buses (or renting a car I suppose). The kitchen is a biggie for me since we will actually use it for breakfast every day. And the convenience of walking to MK and having the monorail for eating at the various resorts. We'd limit our Epcot meals - probably Garden Grill the last night - and focus on eating along the monorail. We like The Wave and Chef Mickey's. Maybe we can get into Be Our Guest. I like Kona a lot. Anyway I have some time to think about it. JetBlue is extending their schedule today so I may book flights and then book hotel based on cheaper flights...

And I think we're taking the autotrain which will be an adventure by itself.
