Bring all the magic bands

I would have to change them every 2-3 hours.

 

[croach]

I would have to change them every 2-3 hours.

Just wear them all on one arm.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

Just wear them all on one arm.

I like your thinking

 

[rteetz]

Just wear them all on one arm.

I may need both arms I’m not very big and I have a lot of bands.

 

[Princess KP]

Make a necklace.

 

[rteetz]

Make a necklace.

That’s a long necklace.

 

[Novatrix]

That’s a long necklace.

Make it a magicband sash then.

 

[LSUfan4444]

I don’t know which bands I should bring...

I am going to pack as little as possible for this trip. Two magic bands, one short sleeve shirt, one long sleeve shirt, one pair of pants and one pair of shorts for each day. I rarely wear half of what I bring.

Does anyone have a guess on when we might get to see the USATF certified course map for this year's marathon? I was hoping it would be online by now, but wasn't sure when the 2018 map was posted. I know if won't be much different vs. 2018, but I still like to look at it.

I saved it on Jan. 3, 2018 this year, so not very long before as most likely that's the day or day after it went up since I always check as well. I keep checking now too, but yeah nothing yet.

I hope those temps come true. It was miserable this morning. T+D was 145 at 8:45am.

I miss highs like that, although I would melt into a puddle for sure. Our T+D right now is 14 (8 degrees + 6 dew point), but luckily I think wind will be low today.

I could handle 40 at the start or anything above freezing

Clocking in at a balmy -8 T+D (-3F and -5 DP) this morning... it makes imagining what running in the warm will feel like really hard! Combine the cold with the snow and a lot of ice, I think my 12 miles will have to be on the treadmill after I work a little bit this morning. Boo.

Also.. please send all the healthy vibes, my office came back from Christmas with 1 person having the stomach flu and another with a nasty cold. Not good.

Yikes, I'm so glad we don't have the negatives! We only have a little snow too. Pixie dust to stay healthy! After I see anybody I take apple cider vinegar to hopefully help ward off/kill anything.

Eek! Meanwhile, we are sitting at 46 degrees and some in my run club were wearing shorts and tanks this morning. On December 29. In New England.

For the 10K I am wearing a MagicBand costume so...

This sounds amazing! Can't wait to see it!(In pictures.. I'll be sleeping thru the 10K.)

Wow! Although warmer than here, I don't think 46F is shorts and tank weather for me!

Maybe I should start doing that too! I am really trying to prioritize sleeping in the next 2 weeks- I think that helps just as much as anything!

Ok I have officially begun looking at weather...

1/9 - H 69 L 48
1/10 - H 74 L 46
1/11 - H 68 L 46
1/12 - H 72 L 46
1/13 - H 71 L 44
1/14 - H 63 L 42

Ohhh, so now its ok to look at the forecast... Stealing my job now! I kid I kid. Speaking of the weather, The Weather Channel now has at least morning lows posted to marathon morning. Their prediction seems to be a bit warmer with nothing below 50. No major chance of rain predicted currently either. The most accurate forecast will come from the local folks down in the area.

 

[Patrick L]

Any advice on taking a cab/Uber to the start? I'm staying off property in Kissimmee and I'd rather not wake the wife and kids up just to drive me to the park. What time should I plan on arriving?

 

[ywgckp]

I'm here with the family this week (before going home tomorrow and then coming back next week for Dopey!). Just finished 12 miles around the Boardwalk and along Epcot Resort Drive. T+D of around 150 (I don't think I've ever sweat that much in my whole life). Hopefully the cooler weather forecast holds up. I would even take a redo of last year's frigid weather over this...

 

[PrincessV]

Coming from the North that's a tad warm...any word on precipitation?

That’s actually on the cool side for FL. We’ve got highs in the 80s all this coming week in the absence of a cold front.
~~~

I’ll have to wait to pack non-running stuff because I’ll need it this week, but race stuff is ready to roll, with options for temps from 20 to 80!

It has been warm (80’s and humid) here but it looks to be turning cooler after the new year. It is still a little far out for good predictions but it looks like it will be pretty nice. Even though it may be cooler, I am confident that it will not be as cold as 2010 when it was 29 on the morning of the half with flurries/sleet.

ETA - check out some of the pics, lots of layers on people and one thermometer

Here is the local 14 day outlook.
