How is everyone's training going? Are we all tapering? Feeling good and ready to rock in less than two weeks?
I'm ready, but this race is really all about my wife doing her first marathon and first Disney race. She had a good run yesterday, which was nice because she was a bit bummed after last week's long run.
What's your race strategy going to be (running, run/walk, stopping for characters, going for PRs, drinks, rides, etc.)?
Run/walk with us walking 2:30 at each mile marker and then running to next. We probably won't stop for any characters or other fun stuff. The main thing is getting her through this race and trying to start as conservative as possible.
If you could stay at any hotel for race weekend, where would you stay?
Probably the Polynesian... monorail loop, nice pools, fun environment, good restaurants, dole whips, and 24 hour quick serve.
How are you celebrating after your race(s)?
Sunday evening we will eat at 'Ohana. More importantly, we will be staying down at Disney a whole week after the race. That's the real celebration.
If resolutions are your thing (Disney-related or otherwise) and you want to share those, feel free.
Shed a few pounds, get a stronger core. I'd like to get faster in 2019, but probably need to put some effort into things other than just running more miles... not that there's anything wrong with that.
