Marathon Weekend 2019

[Dis_Yoda]

Drink every time @Dis_Yoda gets hammered during the weekend!

(Ok, I’ll stop now)

Oh that could be bad for the racers

Taper madness set in quickly for me. My mystery ankle pain has showed up, race dream last night, and my mind is all over the place thinking 1. I need to keep running and 2. I’m over running.

Stick to your plan and trust the training.

Drink every time @lhermiston packs something with compression!!

Ooooh! I can pack my compression (drink!) socks and compression (drink!) sleeves!

Does anyone have an apple watch and know how to use intervals on it?? You can message me

Got the new one with the Nike Run whatever on it yesterday and while that was an awesome gift, I'm a Garmin girl and have a bit of a learning curve to get through before Marathon weekend!

I am curious; how many of you are maintaining your status as Perfectly Goofy and/or Perfectly Dopey this year? I know there are at least a few.

DH is perfectly Goofy, and was Perfectly Dopey through last year, but after 5 years of Dopey, he decided that getting up so early 4 mornings in a row was too much for too little added mileage, so we are running Goofy this year and probably next year, too, to maintain his Goofy status through the fifteenth year. After that, who knows?

Splurge: Visiting Disney World for 8 nights and eating at several signature restaurants! I usually buy a magnet or a shirt, but not much more at the Expo.

Wow! Being perfectly Goofy AND Dopey is amazing!!!

I'm perfectly Dopey so far. I thought the 5th would be my last <in my best Edna Mode voice> yet here we are.

The recent deep discounts have really gotten to me, though. I'll admit - I kinda feel like a sucker. Don't @ me. I get it - I traded-off a guaranteed registration for savings. I'm not sure I'm willing to do that next year. Right now - and I willingly admit this could change - my thought going forward is to not sign-up for Dopey and wait to see what, if any, offers are available next year that are too good to pass up. If that's the case, maybe I'll do Dopey again. If not..well, it's been an absolute blast.

I am Perfectly Goofy and Perfectly Dopey. I am signed up for Dopey again this year. I know the Dopey adds the extra early mornings and not a lot of extra miles, but the rest of my family is doing the 10k. I'll keep going through Goofy 15 before I consider "retiring" from RunDisney.

Looks like the 5k is gone again (I didn't keep track how many times it's come and gone) from the drop down.

Weather, I admit I looked at accuweather once last week out of curiosity, knowing very well how off it could/most likely will be. I just figure I'll pack everything for park touring and running. I did make some arm sleeves the other day as I just have tanks to run in.

His stopping for characters depends on who is out, how he’s feeling and the weather.

How is he doing after being hit?

I’m Perfectly Goofy still. Did the original unofficial Dopey the first year of the Goofy. Since the start of the official Dopey I have refused to pay that much to get up that early for 4 days in a row.

Until now, this year will be my first Official Dopey and very likely my last.

Question - have car and staying at SSR - bus or car for the half

I am catching up on the tread today and may have missed it but I don’t recall seeing a response. If it was me I would probably drive myself from SSR. Quick right out past Disney Springs and into the traffic flow towards World Dr. to Epcot parking. It might take a little bit of time but it seems easier than then dealing with the buses at that resort.

How is he doing after being hit?

He’s doing ok. He was able to do a 17 mile run last week at an easy pace. His back is bothering him now but that could be from all the wine cases he has had to move around work for the last week because it’s busy time. He only did 3 miles yesterday before he realized it was too much.

I told him to rest the rest of the week but we’ll see if he’ll listen.

I've officially started looking at the weather.

Pathetic attempt to seem like a weather stalker. I've been looking at it for weeks.

Rookie question - where do you find your corral assignment?

Rookie question - where do you find your corral assignment?

Using the tracking or waiver it lists your bib number. From the bib number you then look at the corral chart on the run Disney website and that tells you your corral.

5k is showing on the site again.

5k is showing on the site again.

It shows on the main site with the register button, but if you go to the drop down to register it's gone on the form. It was at the bottom by Dopey the other day.

 

[StarGirl11]

Well here's something useful I stumbled accross and hadn't seen mentioned yet. I was thinking about preordering something to relieve some of the expo stress. And so I pulled up the buy products. And lo and behold some of them have pictures uploaded to them. All the runners magnets and the preorder jacket have photos (and yes I checked the preorder as well as I could, I'm pretty sure that it says 2019).

Huh that's odd.

Yeah they added the few photos a week or something ago. Nice to see. They also have put the jacket up on facebook larger like last week.

Ah missed it. I don't go into the event page on WDW that often so that's why I wasn't aware of the pre order jacket being posted.

I can’t find the exhibitor list for the expo in the event guide. Is it missing this year or just hidden well?
