Marathon Weekend 2016

[SarahDisney]

My magic bands arrived!....the ones that were supposed to arrive on Monday...they were delivered to the wrong address, returned to the post office and then re-delivered to my house. But now I also have a second set heading my way thanks to a nice customer service rep. from Disney. Once they get here...do both just work? I only have one MDE account so I know that is what they are linked to. I am guessing either set will work right? Thinking about bringing a set in my carry-on as a backup? Thoughts since this is my first trip using these things.

Both sets should work. I'm bring 4 magicbands with me and using whichever one matches my outfit best.
We generally bring all of the MBs in our carry-on. If you're using Magical Express, they'll want to scan your MB to get you on the right bus.

My only concern would be that Disney may have deactivated the first set, to avoid any problems with someone trying to use them (as unlikely as that may be).

I just emailed Disney for assistance with my missing bands - just wasn't sure how to handle it since I rented points. Hoping they get back to me soon!

Anybody else see this? Any guesses what the new New Balance shoe themes will be???

My guess would be:
Dumbo,
Donald Duck,
Ariel

I like all of those!

 

[stitchnj]

The middle shoe hint might be Mickey. He wears a yellow bowtie when he's in formal wear

I am hoping for Dumbo shoes!

It can't be Donald Duck,isn't that one of the last shoes they came out with.

On a different note, I have had this week off from training as I am working 12+ hour days (7 in a row) and come home too pooped. I have been taking the stairs in the hospital though! 18 flights today. Hopefully I will be able to sneak on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes this weekend, then I plan on doing my 4 mile long run due this weekend on Monday. Not sure when I will do the 14 miler scheduled for next weekend as we're traveling. Maybe Christmas eve...

Yes, I just realized that. I haven't been keeping up with the shoe releases. But I do think the other two might be Dumbo and Ariel.
I can't wait to see the shirts!

Look at the NB ad on Star Wars Weekend guide... Shoes seems a new model to me.

If you log on to MDE and select "magic bands and cards" under "my account" you should be able to see all of your magic bands. You can deactivate duplicates yourself if you want. Once done, it will say "inactive" over the selected band. Good luck!

I think these new ones will be their Vazee model. It was a hashtag in their Instagram post, plus I think they are really pushing that model since they introduced it. If that's true, they'd be the same model as the Tink shoes.

Also I think Donalds Bowtie is orange

How's everyone's long run going this weekend? 20 miler done on a beautiful cold morning in South Louisiana. Now the taper begins.

Need to do my last 20 early tomorrow morning. It's been a tough week to get mileage with a major snowstorm Monday night in the Denver/Boulder area. Taper here we come! No better feeling than being done with the final long run.

 

[Mimsy Borogove]

Almost finished with our mini-Dopey, 3 Thursday, 6 yesterday, 10 this morning, 20 tomorrow. We finally got a cool snap in east-central Florida; I wore long sleeves this morning for the first time since February. It is also very windy on the coast, gusts of 25mph (feels strong up on causeway!). But we're back to highs in low 80s (lows 70s) by Monday. Le sigh...

12 miler done this morning. Working on mapping out tomorrow's 22 now. Today's was chilly and a little on the slow side. Tomorrow will be colder still.

10 in the books. Could have done without the 3 degree windchill. 16 tomorrow and then we're almost there.

Brrr. Awesome cool morning in Tampa. Started 47deg & ended with 59deg. Finished the week with a 22 miler early this morning and then run club brunch "forced" me to run another 2,5 miles for food & mimosas. Finished the week with 57 miles.

I called on the Force & went for 2 hrs and 15 minutes (kept thinking I would rather be watching the Force Awakens during that time again) today which was 11 miles, the sharp pain in my piriformis muscle is gone but still some dull pain throughout and my calf on same side got very tight and has been this week. I'm thinking it's effected maybe from the glute muscle issue being weakened and healing, who knows. I did a 1:00run/:30 walk the whole time which is mentally hard for me still, but I need those walks so I don't hurt myself further or relapse to the sharp pain. It was cold and windy but at least sunny! Hoping to get a 3 hr run in the end of this week, but I shall see. Good job everyone else! It's getting so close!

I did 6 this morning and plan 12 tomorrow. My knee continues to improve, even with the increasing mileage I'm running, so I'm very hopeful about how things will turn out. I've pushed my taper back a week because of the training I missed... this coming week I'll do peak mileage with my longest run next Sunday (I hope!)

Twenty on the treadmill tomorrow. Kids are home and husband is working. Not sure I am looking forward to it.
