Marathon Weekend 2019

[SarahDisney]

Honestly, I'm probably not going to start looking at flights for another month or so. Too much life stuff going on before then. But I'm hoping I can still find decent prices 3 months out.
And I still have to book my Universal hotel.
And I still have to think about costumes.

This trip is so far away and coming up too fast all at the same time.

You all book flights so early! I'll probably book them in November.

marathon training question. i am at two months or so into my marathon training with about six weeks until the race. things have gone well; good progress, no injuries. but for the last week or so i've been lagging mentally. i'm just not motivated to get the runs in and work to the goal like i was at the start of this effort. i've allowed a few extra "rest" days and haven't stuck to the planned runs like i should.

i've done this enough times to know a lull like this is normal but i really want to find a way to avoid having this adversely affect my race in october. so, has anyone else dealt with this and what strategies did you use to overcome it?

With only 6 weeks to go you really need to figure this out. You say it is mental. So, are you skipping runs or just not running as hard as you know that you can, or both?

If you are skipping runs, no one can help you but you. Why did you sign up for the race? What does it mean to you? Maybe the problem is just that you don't care enough about the race?

If you are not pushing yourself hard enough on runs, try something like caffeine during a run to give you a boost. Some runs (like today) I know that I have to take it easy to finish. But I cannot stand finishing a scheduled "hard run" day and feeling like I left too much in the tank at the end. When I find myself slacking on a run, I remind myself that I am trading minutes/hours of my life to do this. That time is gone forever once "spent". I am older, and my life shorter, and that time can be spent improving myself or wasted. That usually gets me moving.

My *magical* travel agent came through for me today! I’ve been waitlisted for a room at beach club for awhile. In the meantime I had booked rooms at YC & BC as backup plans and was going to go with whatever one gave me the better rate with a Passholder discount. One less thing to stress about.

And I still have to think about costumes.

Football uniforms make for easy costumes

If I dress up as a Jets running back, nobody will even expect me to cross the finish line! (I like pro football just fine, thank you)

I'm so excited for this. I don't think Snow White gets enough love at WDW.

I probably won't book mine till then either. We have a family vacation to Universal in November and all available funds are being saved for that trip right now! Driving down for that trip - first time driving. We live in Arkansas and are stopping at FloraBama for the night both directions! Can't wait!

Also need more deets but just tried to make a ressie for grins and couldn't find anything. Whatever that means...LOL

Yes, only one card to cover the whole cost plus 6.6% fee. You can add to it here https://www.disneygiftcard.com/ so then you could still use it.

Mahalo for the link!

Good morning, runDisney all-stars!

This thread have been quiet for the past day, so I trust you're all enjoying the Labor Day weekend. Speaking of Labor Day, this week's Sundays are for Disney is all about jobs. Specifically, what Disney Parks job would you like to have? I'm talking ground-level, badge-CM jobs, so no Imagineers, no Bob Iger, no cushy office jobs. It'll be more fun that way.

I'd like to be a tour guide. Ideally, I'd rotate tours so it wouldn't get too stale, but if I had to pick one, I'd want to do the behind the scenes tour at Animal Kingdom.

Have a good weekend, everyone! See you all in 128 days!

Oh, totally a Photopass Photographer & capturing the RunDisney races as well If I ever move that's what I would do.

My sister and I were at Epcot in June, getting a Spaceship Earth picture (as one does). I was wearing my coast to coast shirt and the photographer commented that she liked it and she does action shots for the marathon. It was a fun little moment.
