Inaugural Disney Wine&Dine**1/2 Marathon** Post Race Discussion!

[Mouse Skywalker]

Hmmmm.... this will totally screw with my Boma reservation. What to do?

LOVE it! Food comes first in my opinion. Who cares if he's a former Olympian?!? Seriously, who knows how many slots they are providing or how to do this at this point. I wouldn't be changing any plans yet.

I made an earlier breakfast res just in case. I'll cancel whichever I don't need in about an hour. This could be REALLY cool.

Hey WISHers, DisneySports just "tweeted" that an opportunity to run with runDisney training consultant Jeff Galloway this Friday before Wine&Dine will be posted on the DisneyParks blog at 11:00am. It'd be so cool to have a WISHer there. Here's the link to the blog.

Here's the DisneySports "tweet"

RT @DisneySports Check (DisneyParks blog link) @11am 4 unique opportunity to meet&run w Jeff Galloway Fri. Space is limited. Don’t be late.

Sounds totally awesome, but I fear it would be wasted on me. I'm too much of a n00b to really enjoy it. I will let someone who would benefit more take my proverbial slot.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Dave!

made a few runs with Jeff. It is really a great time if you can make it! If he follows a similar path as other runs, you do not need to be a fast runner; actually, really speedy guys will feel slow

*hoping I get lucky*

I was hitting refresh over and over at 11am. Did a speed read of what I needed to do, and sent off the e-mail.

*crosses fingers* It's going to be a LONG three hour wait.

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

They're full! I hope some WISHers got in.

@WaltDisneyWorld: We have reached capacity! Thanks for everyone’s interest in the Run with Jeff Galloway Meet-Up

I have an OT question... DH would like a Garmin run watch for his bday(a week after I return from wdw) and thought the $400 one is what he wants! I dont have a $400 budget but could probably swing $150.

Any recommendations on a model - I dint know much about them.

Thanks!

I agree with Coach. I have a Garmin Forerunner 305 and I love it! I bought it for about $150 off of amazon earlier this year (although they had a "Deal of the Day" thing on Amazon shortly thereafter and it was something like $125). I don't use the heart rate monitor but it's nice to have in case I want to. I haven't read the manual or use (or discovered) all of the functions yet but I love knowing the exact distance and pace I'm going. It's one of the best running tools I've bought.

I am not running (or walking) this weekend but I have been following along since I have friends who will be participating. I just wanted to take a second to congratulate ALL of you who have trained so hard for this Half Marathon. Can't wait to see you cross that finish line... kind of.

You should all be proud of yourselves. I know I am proud of each and every one of you!!

Thanks, it was my best, but toughest..and I won the mind game! So much going on at home with leaving DH, 3 busy kids..DD4, DD13 and DS17! I was creating stress I didnt need to have~
Like DH said, 365 days of the year I am mom..for 6 days I can just concentrate on me~
Anyway...I do feel good abt my progress...and cant wait til I am in the 'state' of FLorida!

Not only is that good for you but that would be good for anyone. Walking a 13.10 pace is amazing. Great job!!! Your training has paid off.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw your post Amy! Hi indeed! Will you be at Wine&Dine this weekend? I'll be there.
