Mickeyd’s 2014 WDW Marathon training and PTR

[PrincessInOz]

Safe travels, MickeyD.

I would wish you good luck; but on the face of the numbers you're posting, I don't think luck has anything to do with it. Your preparation has been excellent and I hope you run as you've practised.

DON'T break a leg!



Have fun and catch you at the other end.

I've been thinking of you this week and wondering how you were going. So glad to hear you're staying positive and making progress

I wish you all the best, and I'll be hanging out to hear how you've gone! We'll be there in spirit cheering you along

Quick update. Ran the 5k this morning, and it was sooo much fun. My foot held up well - we'll see how it pulls up tomorrow.

It has been cold here. It was 4 degrees C when I arrived on Tuesday. Warmed up a. It for the first race today. Loving Port Orleans Riverside. Got a room upgrade and we are looking out over the river.

10K tomorrow!

Thanks for the update. That's great to hear

 

[PrincessInOz]

Thanks for checking in. Well done in the 5K. Hope the 10K worked out as well and as much fun.

10K done! Was so much fun. Was a great course too. We started in the Epcot parking lot, ran along the highway for a bit, then entered Epcot backstage running under test track, then around the world showcase and out the international gateway, around boardwalk, yacht and beach club, back into Epcot, past spaceship earth and then out to the finish line in the parking lot.

Was fun to run around the world showcase in the dark. They had it all lit up and had the gas torches going. Was very humid though, 90%, so I wasn't sure if I was sweating or just running through humidity . Have been icing the foot, and it has been doing ok. But these early morning starts are killing me (on the bus at 3:30)

I'm so happy for you that you've managed the 5k and the 10k

Sounds like you're having a great time and that your foot is behaving well so far. Those early mornings would be a real killer for me too!

Rest up, and good luck with the half

 

[PrincessInOz]

Congrats on getting the 5K AND 10K done. Well done.

When is the 1/2?

 

[mickeyd78]

The half is this morning (Sat) at 5:30!! It's 1:40am now, and I can't sleep.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Hope you have a good half.


Are you jetlagged? Hope you're having a great time.
