Marathon Weekend 2019

[rteetz]

10K.
I'm currently flying in the evening of the 10th so I would have to switch my flight to the morning, which isn't that expensive to change right now. I should be able to get the day off. Now it's just a matter of whether I want to give Disney more money.

BEER STOP

BEER STOP

Me to DH: they opened up more bibs for the 10k. I kind of want to sign up because there will be a beer stop. Probably silly to precede my first half with a 10k, right?

DH- so I’ve signed myself up because beer. You live your own life

How many of us are having these "oh, they opened up bibs" conversations either with our significant other or with ourselves?

My DH just suggested that I either sign up for the 5k (in addition to the 10k and full) or just sign up for Dopey. Until I reminded him of three facts: 1) that would mean at least one if not 2 more mornings of being up at 2 am and standing outside freezing for 3 hours before starting, 2) doing Dopey means no DiveQuest this trip and I need to log a dive prior to our next vacation and 3) I'd like to not be exhausted for my first marathon. He saw reason.

My dillema- but if DH is up for the 10K, I will be too, right?
Still valid #3.
Beer.
YOLO.
I had decided DL would be my first challenge, and that may be never.

SO MUCH PRESSURE!! I need to get with my #BeerStop committee to make sure we knock this one out of the park!

Really, you just need to keep One and Two from drinking all the beer stop supplies the night before

Guys ... I have a very important (and by that I mean not at all important) hashtagging question.
For those of you who don't remember, I'm running the 5K, 10K, and Marathon.
My original challenge name was "Intentionally Grumpy", in honor of the "Grumpy" Challenge of 2017, with the hashtag #IntentionallyGrumpy2019
But yesterday I kinda thought about calling it something related to the fact that I'm doing Dopey minus one race, and I came up with #DopeyMinusOneHalf

Which hashtag do we like better?
(I know, super important stuff...)

I've just realized that if we combine your races with my races, we've run Dopey together!!! Now I can tell everyone I'm running Dopey with Sarah and they will leave me alone. (This will work, right?)

Perhaps I need to tell them that they have to get up early to help me with it first ... they did SO well at that this year!

decoy?

For real! Except I think the missing Blocs were Black Cherry ...

Am I meeting you at the beer station after I run? Because people should be most afraid of that.

I guess? Unless you stay and have parking lot beers ...

I'm sure you've answered this before, but can you use magicbands to buy parking lot beers or should I bring cash money?

Post-race you can definitely use cards or MagicBands for sure.

No Disney race is complete without parking lot beers

Hey experienced runDisney-ers! Hoping to get some advice...

We're doing a split stay at Universal and Disney, starting out with a few Universal days and then switching on Saturday in time for me to run the marathon. DH is a very supportive non-runner (cyclist) however he has gotten wind of the extra 5k slots released and has now signed us both up for the 5k (his very first running event ever).

This is very exciting except I don't know how to navigate this from Universal. I guess the plan is we book a Lyft for 3:30 (??) Thursday morning? Is it hard to find transportation out after the events?

Haven't run a RunDisney event before, and haven't been to Orlando in 10 years so I don't really have any context for how this is going to be.
