Marathon Weekend 2018

Happy birthday @rteetz! Besides my RunDisney race shirts, my favorite souvenirs have been the old ride posters that you see as you walk under the train station in the Magic Kingdom. We have a Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion one. They are framed and we have them up in our house.

I'm still waiting to see who has the first "little souvenir" as their favorite thing from Disney

These are so cool! Is it your husband who has a Darth Donald tatoo you mentioned once? We have a handful of things they made as the Disney/Star Wars mash-ups like the beanies and a toy set. It's too bad they had to stop.

It is! He has Darth Donald and Boba Donald (Can you tell he likes the Dark Side and Donald Duck?)

The Art of Disney artist Greg McCullough was showcasing his work at Art of Disney at Disney Springs but we were there at 12:00PM and he wasn't arriving until like 1PM. Not sure how much he'll like his art being turned into a tattoo! We'll find out one of these days.

I'm not sure that is going to end up coming from the RunDisney crowd Let's keep that to the Theme Park Boards!

Happy birthday @rteetz !

Sunday's are for Disney though. Today's Disney question: Do you have a favorite Disney souvenir?

I'm not sure if they count as my favorite souvenir (I mean, I'm sure I do if I thought about it lol), but the first thing that came to mind was that every trip I buy the picture ornament with the year on it. I started in 2013 and decided I would buy one each trip, and since I've managed at least one trip ever since then, it's grown into a little collection. Maybe one day I'll actually put a picture in each of them.


I ran the Broad Street Run 10 Miler in Philly yesterday. Pending my next half marathon in two weeks (which I'm hoping to PR at), it will probably end up being my POT for the marathon. I finished in 1:52:32, which is a 7 and a half minute PR from the other time I did that race in 2013. My A goal for the race was 1:50 and by B goal was 1:55, so I walked (hobbled, lol) away from the race happy.

@Dis_Yoda I love that Disney art, especially the Stitch ones I love checking out the art at the galleries they have down at Disney Springs but haven't bought any yet.

My favorite souvenirs are coffee mugs. I have a Stitch one I use all the time and just got a Darth Vader one from the Dark Side Half. I like practical souvenirs since they remind me of the trip every time I use them I also like to pick up that Alice in Wonderland branded tea they sell down there.

My favorite souvenir is a print of Mickey-Wan Kenobi which I actually got as a gift for my best friend! :cry:

Personally, the memories are the best souvenir I can have!

And Birthday Happy @rteetz !

@rteetz!!!


It's hard to pick just one souvenir but probably the set of bamboo cooking utensils with Mickey on them because I love to cook so I use them everyday.

Happy double-belated birthday! I have an excuse....I was down at Disney, so pre-occupied with other things!
Favorite souvenir? Back in 2000, we bought 4 Peter Ellenshaw seasonal paintings; Pooh related: Summer - A Grand Afternoon, Winter in the Wood, Spring - Kite Flying Days and Autumn Comes to the Wood which are hung around our house.

Happy belated birthday @rteetz! I have trouble catching up on the boards after a weekend away!

My favorite Disney souvenir is my Disneyland 50th Anniversary mouse pad of the castle ! It is under my mouse right now. I have used it at every job I have had since 2005 and it still looks great. I like that I get to look at the castle every day while I am working.

My favorite souvenir is a pack of Mickey ear ornaments. Though I'm sure after January my new favorite will be my Dopey medal!

Happy Belated Birthday @rteetz !!

8 months out and I'm pretty sure I know what I want to dress as for the marathon already. Is that sad or what?, but coming off Dark Side I can't help it, but heck I don't even have a room!

But I'm trying to figure out training since I have nothing till then and come up with a plan for summer then fall. ugh I tried to type from my phone so didn't get his part added - anyway now that I'm on a PC - - I want to get some guaranteed longest long runs in before it gets freezing cold in case I can't then, so is there any harm in 'banking' some 16-20 mile runs earlier and then not having any in December? I know I can do the miles, but wondering if a 20 in November will matter if not again till the marathon. hope that makes sense.

My girlfriend has already bought her stuff for the races! Everything's all in the box they got shipped in, but she's got her 4 outfits all ready to go!

Me? I'm just wearing my shorts, socks and running shoes, and putting on whatever the 5k shirt is that year...

Wow! So early. I've definitely been thinking about it but there is always a chance I'll find more cute running clothes so I can't imagine picking until the end of December!

I admit I've been thinking about my 4 race outfits since the day I signed up! I haven't actually bought anything yet though, there's too may ideas in my head, but I think I'm close to narrowing it down.
