Marathon Weekend 2025

Laying down in our room and I think the housekeepers must be wearing wooden clogs upstairs…

A very nice housekeeper knocked on the door. Asked if we needed anything, my wife said maybe a few washcloths and another coffee packet and creamers. So he hands me a stack of things and now we have about 20 of every type of towel and enough coffee for a month…
 

On my way out of Epcot today I saw a sign for Gaston for the full marathon. I *think* it was around mile 4 but I must admit that I was a bit turned around and not totally sure. Anyway, the sign definitely said Gaston & Full so he’ll be there someplace.

The good news for me is that if they are doing that silly eras/decades thing again at least the marathon will have the 90s 😀
 
So we were on our plane but DFW airport ran out of de-icing fluid. What the... ? They made us disembark and say it's only delayed but I don't know how they can get more fluid so I imagine the flight will be cancelled. I'm just doing the marathon but definitely have concerns about getting to the expo by Saturday at 3 for packet pickup...
they are swapping it out with Tito's vodka.

Haha probably about right- at least I would take some right now! We are finally on board again but having to wait an hour before it's our turn for the de-icing. Our first time to encounter travel delays with our toddler but so far she is being a champ. ETA not until 8 pm or so, but as long as we make it I am happy.
 
Running in Makeup on instagram just posted from the Expo with a preview of the new runDisney athleisure line that drops today. Hooray, I'm going to the expo today! :D
Is this available to buy now? Or is it preview for Brooks/DL etc?

I dont need to go to the expo unless….

Tks!

Gaston was so good at W&D! Interactive without slowing down the process--I hope it's the same cast member this weekend.
 
Well I’m at AK today. And since Everest is one of my favs I stopped by to ask about my unique situation in riding it. They were able to confirm that I would be doing it. And the leads going to make sure the team that’s working that day knows I’ll be doing this
 
We’re they offering Mylar blankets after the race this morning?
We are running tomorrow and would love to avoid gear check…
 
I didn’t see any reports - did they do the multiple corrals per letter & passwords thing today?
 
My flat lay for tomorrow: Chip & Dale present: A Salute to All Nations, But Mostly America (with apologies to Sam Eagle for stealing his bit 😄)

I realized when I was packing that I had gotten C& D shoulder buddies in DL, so I tossed them in the suitcase to see if I could work them in. Their metal plates are pinned to the under shirt, and they’re pinned (through tail and one foot) to the top shirt, so, in theory, I should be able to just put the shirts on mostly like normal and they’ll stick right into place.

I don’t know how I’ll put on my throwaway shirt, but that’s a problem for tomorrow. It’s a button down, so maybe I just don’t put it over my shoulders? The poncho can go over C&D no problem, so I’ll still have coverage.
