Marathon Weekend 2019

[Dis_Yoda]

I'm thankful for finally having a stressfree job and feeling like myself again and my dogs and my husband and wine and bourbon...

Ok, random, possibly stupid question. Has anyone flown with energy gels in their carry-on? They're less than 3oz, so they should be fine to throw in my quart-size bag, right?

I flew to Chicago for the marathon in October with gels in my carry on. I packed something like 8 gels into the quart bag with my shampoo and toothpaste and had no questions or issues going or coming back with the leftovers.

It's been a crazy past 12 months, but I'm thankful that my family is healthy and I'm feeling good enough to consider doing the WDW Marathon again and with the Universal 5k and D23 coming up next year, and hopefully the Wine & Dine next year, I have some good Disney and Universal trips to look forward to.

I’ve flown with them in the carry on before - no issues

Epsom salts will get a note from the tsa in checked luggage though

I’m thankful for my family and my health. I’m thankful I found anew job this year. And I’m thankful there’s only 2 more long runs left in the training plan!

Thankful for my family, health, and all of you!

 

[apdebord]

Now that I've moved past some things, I'm thankful for some crap situations that happened earlier this year. They made me a stronger person and helped me learn a lot about myself.

I'm also thankful for my health, my husband and my pups. We have a senior dog that we took in just over 3 years ago; I don't know how much longer he has, but I'm so grateful for the time we've had with him.

SAFD: So much to be thankful for this week and every week!
I am thankful for the ability to run, the support and love of my sweet husband, the means to be able to travel, and the joy that sharing Disney experiences brings us! I am also so thankful to have found and befriended all of you- such a great community!

SAFD: Thankful for good health and the time I'll be spending with my amazing family. Always thankful for my wonderful dh and running partner @Chris-Mo . Not sure I'd be a runner today if not for him.

I’m thankful for being healthy enough to run and having the financial means to splurge on RunDisney. I’m thankful for the support from my husband and my kids. I’m thankful for deciding to lurk on this board almost a year ago. Y’all inspire me and keep me motivated!

In terms of Disney and RD, I'm thankful that I'm running the half in 2019. I was on a "five-year plan," having done the 20th anniversary of the marathon in 2013 and 25th in 2018. I didn't plan to run any more races until doing Dopey in 2023 (I want to run all of the races, but that's not in my schedule or budget!). I'm thankful that my mom is still my Disney partner-in-crime and coming with me once again on this trip.

Outside of Disney and RD, I'm thankful for having two healthy kids, a good DH, and a pretty great life. I'm thankful that my 7yo dog, who had an eye issue earlier this year, only had glaucoma that caused her to lose that eye and not something like cancer. She's still spunky being with just one eye.

Did I mention I’m thankful for Drew Brees? #WhoDat

As an Eagles fan, I want an unlike button.

It's fine. I'm just going to go cry into my Super Bowl gear. I'm fine. Really. Sob.

 

[Chaitali]

I'm thankful that I'm healthy enough to be running again and finances are in a good enough spot to be able to go to Disney for marathon weekend two years in a row! I'm also thankful for these boards and the running pages so I can "talk" with other like minded people

r.e.-bold---make it to mile 15+, exit Osceola Parkway to McD's and order a M&M McFlurry

McFlurry John

Honestly envy you folks that can do this. Anything beyond liquid and energy gels just hits my stomach hard while running (I did manage about half a dozen M&M's in DHS last year!). But if it is 2013 hot again, I might get the ice cream and dump it on my head

SAFD: I am thankful for my Lord, my family, and my health.

Also, I did complete that 15-mile run this weekend, and.... it really wasn't that bad. Weather was near ideal, which helped, but for the first time, I am thinking that I just might can do this!

 

[Bradley Warner]

I'm thankful that I've had the ability to run 3 half marathons and completed my first Spartan trifecta. I'm thankful for my wife and children who have supported me through each and every race this year. I'm also thankful she didnt kill me for booking our next trip home, which just so happened to be on marathon weekend, who knew? I tried to convince her it was merely a coincidence......
