Congratulations to GrandAdmiralStrife for leaping ahead to Magic Kingdom Orange (and just shy of Tokyo Disneyland Purple). And further congratulations to DVCFan1994 and SarahDisney, who both have exceeded 50% of their goals and turned Tokyo Disneyland Purple.

Tokyo's Adventureland offers lunch and dinner shows at the Polynesian Terrace restaurant. The lunch show is Lilo's Luau & Fun, while the dinner show is Mickey & Minnie's Polynesian Parade. Reviews indicate that they are kind of fun (particularly when the male guests are challenged to hula at dinner). Unfortunately, though, reservations are required, and the reservation service is only in Japanese (web or phone). So you may have to find a translator to help!

13K in 90 minutes? What is your pace?

IT TOTALLY WAS!!!

13K in 90 minutes? What is your pace?

Today it came out to a hair over 11 minutes per mile. I didn't run the whole thing, so that's an average pace for running/walking.

IT TOTALLY WAS!!!

Rock on! I need that medal to arrive because it's too perfect.

I'm holding off on my 13K until mid-May when my HM insanity through RNR dies down (#6 is in Nashville on 4/30, followed by Tink 10K the weekend after). I'll have about a month break until San Diego the first weekend of June. This is a perfect long run to do on a Saturday.

Congratulations to Saphire5742 for passing 50% and turning Tokyo Disneyland Purple.

Tokyo Disneyland has a World Bazaar at its entrance. Adventureland is where you would expect, to the left. But as you leave World Bazaar, you'll first enter a New Orleans Square sub-land, where you'll find Pirates of the Caribbean and a Blue Bayou restaurant. This area may look pretty familiar to those who have been to Disneyland. There's an interesting photo tour of Tokyo's Adventureland, including daytime and nighttime pictures of New Orleans Square, at dejiki.com.

Further congratulations to LizardQueen8 for reaching 75% and turning Disneyland Paris Pink!

Like Disneyland itself, Disneyland Paris's Adventureland features an Indiana Jones ride -- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril. This mine-cart roller coaster takes riders through an archeology site in a lost temple. It was the first Disney coaster with an inversion. For about four years from 2000-2004, it was reversed, so that riders went backwards!

Please tell me this was the Harry Potter Running Club's Umbridge Run.

I'm intrigued. Is this something at your gyms??

 

[PollyannaMom]

Fell off the exercise wagon for a couple of days, but climbed back up Friday and added 70 minutes total for Friday and Saturday. I'm now at 255/600, and hoping to get some more time made up today.

It's a virtual running club with dedicated events about 4-5 times per year!

150 minutes of snow removal today - shoveling pathways and shaking heavy snow from tree limbs so they won't break. A big limb fell on someone's car in my neighborhood this morning.
