Marathon Weekend 2016

[SunDial]

Got my full bib number. Now lets see the waivers.

I got my BQ today! 3:11:28 in the SA Marathon. The last 6 miles was an absolute grind as the course goes from being relatively flat to hillier with little fan support on that stretch of course. I think the Boston cut off last year was 2 minutes 28 seconds so I'm hoping my time will hold. For Disney I'd like to hit 3:10:00 which was my goal today, but ran out of gas at the end.

I hope everyone's training runs went well yesterday and/or today and remember, keep on trucking!

Not sure if anyone else saw this, but it looks like the marathon bib numbers are up.

I only saw 10K bibs listed, but I'm a technical moron so I might be missing something.

10K bib numbers are up ... I'm guessing the other races will go up soon too.

Here's the link for anyone who doesn't have it bookmarked yet...

What am I missing? When I follow the link, all I can find is 10K info. Where are folks getting the bib numbers for the other races?

Make sure you do the drop-downs correctly @RunDisneyDad (congrats on the BQ!! ) @camaker

It's weird. I only get the 10K option going through the link. Tried iPad and both Safari and Chrome on MacBook. Nothing. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer.

In better news, I was able to get 7 miles in today with a 0:30/2:00 run/walk with no hamstring issues! So at least I can get back to training, even if it's a bit late...

Congrats! That's a huge accomplishment.

Make sure you're looking it up via the mobile site on a mobile device.

Estimating I'll be starting in the second to last corral. Feeling very nervous, but I'll power through it!

I'm only seeing the 10K and cant choose anything else from the menu.

Oops! Posted before reading the other replies. Im glad it's not just me.

Yep, I think I'm ready for Dopey #3!!!!

Thanks @Keels! That was the issue. Pulled up just fine on my phone.

Woot!!

My hero!

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Looks like I know where you'll be on New Year's Eve now!

Still going to Epcot - but I may need to sneak out to watch some of the game if we play at 4:00. I will not watch the game if it is the 8:30 game. I love Alabama, but I love my family more.

 

[BuckeyeBama]

I got my BQ today! 3:11:28 in the SA Marathon.

Awesome, and congratulations!

 

[Berniemgr]

Wow, leave for my 19 mile run and come back to find my bib number. That certainly amps up the motivation I've been lacking these days.

 

[faneuil]

Based on last year's corrals, I moved up two. Works for me.

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Why is that? Definite newbie question!

Also I was reading a book where some said the arms take you up Gil's, but I couldn't understand her explain action of how- she said it was like punching the air totally didn't follow unless she meant like and undercut. Would someone mind explaining?!

Thanks! As always

You should use your arms to help power your run, especially up hills or when you feel tired. Just focusing on the use of your arms like pistons helps physically and mentally. You don't change the arm swing - just focus on it a bit more. Your entire body becomes an engine, pistons pumping with every stride.

That said, even if you don't use your arms for power, they are swinging with every stride. Over the course of a longer run you begin to build up tension in you shoulders, neck and upper back. This can be even more problematic if you lean forward late in the run as you tire. To remedy all of that, you do some strength training. Prepare your arms, neck and back for the work, just as you prepare your legs.

Based on Last years corrals I am in Corral I for the half

 

[AThrillingChase]

Thank you!! That one worked. Looks like I will be in corral I for the half. I had to submit my PHM time where I stopped for a few photo lines, so I feel pretty good with where I'm at. Let's hope this motivates me! I have been over it entirely since W&D went down.
