Disney will just be fun for me, since I always run so long there, and I want to stop for characters if there is someone I want. I'll probably be on the lookout for a running buddy if anyone wants to pair up at any point at the race and is in (most likely) corral C and running around 9:30-10:00/mile.
SAFD: I tend to think of my Dopey training "officially" starting with the first b2b weekend, and that won't come until mid-Aug., so I'm not training for anything specific at the moment. Just maintaining summer base mileage (long runs of 8-10 miles). It's going. Brag? I'm not dead from the heat yet, so I've got that going for me! Encouragement? Maybe just a reminder that when the heat index is over 100, the pool feels really, really nice and is a solid replacement for a short run.So, what are you training for? How is it going? Who wants to brag? Who needs some words of encouragement?
I believe the one there was expired July 11th.Does anyone know a discount code for Dopey?
That is pretty much my plan for the Marathon!Disney will just be fun for me, since I always run so long there, and I want to stop for characters if there is someone I want. I'll probably be on the lookout for a running buddy if anyone wants to pair up at any point at the race and is in (most likely) corral C and running around 9:30-10:00/mile.
I had an unusually high amount of stress last summer for my work and I feel like that stress definitely took a toll on me in the final week before my September Half. So while I don't have any advice for how to get through it, I just wanted to say you're not alone in dealing with that sort of thing.I guess i could just use some encouragement of keeping the momentum of pushing forward in training and to not let the job stuff carry over into my training. I feel good at the moment but then I get depressed when I go back to the office and the toxicity sets in.
Currently in serious training for the Marine Corps Marathon this fall, which will be my first marathon! Hope to maybe see some DISers there!
I've seen on Instagram that some folks have begun training for marathon weekend and I know others are training for upcoming events, as well. So, what are you training for? How is it going? Who wants to brag? Who needs some words of encouragement?
I've got some random stuff on my calendar for the rest of the year, with my "A" race of the year being an Olympic tri at the end of the month. How I do in that will really set the timeframe for 70.3 next year between either Spring or Fall (stop me if you've heard THAT before, but I SWEAR it's happening for one really big reason). I've been cycling a TON and I'm really thrilled with where I'm at in that discipline right now.
Other than that, I've got one last sprint tri to close out a summer series I've been participating in. Then purely running-wise, I've got the Saints kickoff 5K in September, Jazz Half in October, W&D in November, St. Jude Half in December. I still haven't decided what I'm doing in January - every day it changes from the half (and then maybe Louisiana Marathon but probably nah on that), or the full or Goofy.
We will be at St. Jude again this year, too! If you haven't done it before, it's a race you won't forget.
Too bad. Do you think there will be a new one soon?I believe the one there was expired July 11th.
