13.1 miles is a bit far for me at this point. 10K and below is my limit as of right now.

As much as I'd love to run at WDW race I just can't swing it right now. I plan to run a half by the end of the summer, but my real goal is a full tri by August.

Just the little 5 lbs ones. Nothing heavy, I don't want to lose my girlish figure.

One day Don will graduate from the pretty pink and purple coated weights to the metal ones....one day.

There is a relay option too you know.

Running the muddy buddy was awesome. I'm definately going to do more races at Disney. I'm just not sure when. Hopefully sooner than later.

Agree, I do that when running, but the earbud style won't stay in my ears. Of course I'm a train wreck when I run, all over the place. I don't use them when lifting however.

does anyone like earbuds??????????
i HATE them.... not only do they not stay in, they hurt....
it's as if apple went out of its way to design something uncomfortable..
with every new ipod i get, i use the earbuds for about 2 days, then remember why i hate them and go out and buy a pair of comfortable earphones...

i've always suspected the only reason people use the original apple earbuds is so other people will know they're using an ipod and think they're cool (i suppose that works more here than in the US, where it's probably not that big a deal to have an ipod)...
or maybe there are people out there with ears shaped for those things?
for me they're an implement of torture...
and there's no chance at all they'll stay in my ears while i'm exercising...

I am doing the 5K and the half marathon.

Kim and Anna are also planning on the 5K and doing the Half as a relay team.

Sort of a silly question, but do you plan on going back to your room to sleep? The 5K starts at 7 AM and the half starts at night with the party afterwards. It sounds like a long day.

Not silly at all. I think that is the plan. While being up for nearly 24 hours isn't an issue, running 13.1 miles at the end of those hours would be. A nap is most certainly in order.

Wow, impressive Todd. Do you plan to run that distance during training? I always wondered if I should run the full 13 before the race or if 10 was enough.

Most likely. I know the training guide I am using says that I don't have to, but I would feel more comfortable knowing I can do it.

That's kind of what I was thinking too. Not so much staying up, but combining it with 16.2 miles and it could easily be a problem.

Coming from a different angle, I'm going to make an argument for exactly the opposite. First off, you aren't going to sleep well during your nap (the same way you don't sleep well the night before any race). Also, having done the 5k earlier, particularly if you aren't very used to running long distances, staying up and moving may be better on your body than laying down sleeping. Muscles tighten up and soreness is actually sometimes worse that way. Lastly, the excitement and adrenaline of the event itself will likely be more than enough to keep you going anyway.

Just to back up a bit, to the discussion on 10 vs 13 miles... if this is your first half, I'd tend to argue to just work up to 10 miles. You have plenty of time, so if you're able to get to that point sooner, and have time to work up to 13, that's fine, but don't stress over it either. Particularly as your first half, more longer runs may not mean more experience, but may mean greater chance of injury before you get to the starting line. The "know I can do it" line of thought is pretty common, but I always like to ask what is the alternative? You get to the mile 10 marker on race day, and throw your hands up and say "Ah, forget it, I can't do it." Not gonna happen, I promise!


This is all just friendly advice of course

Great goal Todd. You've come a long way since the Muddy Buddy. I got 4 more miles in today. I'm doing more cardio lately. I'm still lifting pretty seriously as well. I'm currently 215lbs. I'd like to be closer to 205, although as long as I'm healthy and in good shape I'm not all that concerned with the number on the scale. I've always been a heavy guy.

I'd take 215 if I were ripped I'd like to be 190 though...or 195, right now I'm 205

I'm 180lbs, but I'm a tad shorter. 190 or 195 is good. Just hit the tanning bed and throw some oil on your body. That works just as well.

I heard on today's podcast that Kathy maybe running the Wine & Dine 5K. I just want to say that you can do it Kathy. I also plan on running that race. You will absolutely love running through the Magic Kingdom with so many people cheering you on.

I won't be running the 5K but I plan on being out there in the AM to cheer on the runners.

Sweet! Hey, I notice in your signature you have the 500 Mini-Marathon logo. Are you running the race here in Indy?
