Marathon Weekend 2017!

[DopeyBadger]

Kicking back at AKL Kidani.. Think I got my miles in today just getting to the room lol...

Me too! Although I'm by the buses so a pretty short walk for me. Surprisingly quieter than I would have guessed too!

Almost race day folks! To go with @FFigawi sentiment, just try to relax and roll with everything that happens on race day. Stay positive and stress free as much as possible. Both stress and negativity have been shown to increase the perception of effort. So negativity and stress can suddenly make a run seem harder than it physically is. Just relax and enjoy as much as possible. Good luck everyone!

i.e. minimize time at the Expo

Waiting for bus to Epcot. A bit warm and humid but it is supposed to cool down and the rain should take care of some of that humidity.

If you have to wear extra clothes while waiting for a race to start, the weather is not perfect...

Just sayin'...

#corralcomfortmatters

Weather is perfect for RUNNING, not for standing around in a corral! LOL

All packed and ready to go tomorrow, my dad and I fly out of Newark on Jetblue at 7:30am. I'm running 5k(5th one) and 10k(1st timer here). A bit nervous for 10k, but hoping to do well packed a sweatshirt, sweatpants, shorts, long sleeve, short sleeve, capris, tights, for running after 2015 with that cold front I think I'm prepared. Last time only did 5k, and I only did treadmill at gym then, this time have had personal trainers for over a year, work in the gym 5 days a week lifting and treadmill and know so much more hoping I do good

Just went out and bought throw away gloves and sweat pants and a black long sleeve tech shirt for under the tank top of my costume....hoping the fact that I bought these things means there won't be a need for them.

Landed....only 48.6 miles to go.

Good luck to all the runners this year. Last year was my first marathon and it was amazing. I hope it's great for all of you. Hopefully I'll be back there next year.

Just left MK. Place was more crowded than I expected. Time for the pool and maybe the evening at Disney Springs.

And with that I am shutting down the computer, closing the office and headed home to finish packing, flight leaves at 8am tomorrow! So psyched!

Race shirts

If anyone is in need of throwaway tops given the downturn in marathon morning temps, I was able to find Starter fleece jackets for <$10 at Wal Mart. The full zip makes it easier to get into and out of than sweats.

What's everyone planning on doing for clothes for the marathon? Throwaways with shorts/tshirt underneath or long sleeves/pants for the whole thing?

Throwaways! I'd rather be too cold than too hot once I start running.
