Well that didn't work so my shorts and shirt are a bright mango orange color.

What part of the knee hurts? Different areas mean different things.. But I'm sure you know that...

the inner thigh towards the inside right beside the bone. Its like a quarter size. Not too sure how else to explain it.

OMG! So excited, i just sent the link to a bunch of family and friends and now I'm sort of wishing I hadn't...haha I don't need all these people watching how slow I go!

I don't have that much faith in my family. I signed them up.

Hope everyone is toning down their training and getting ready for the race. See you guys at the finish line.

Training, yes....but playing 3 hockey games over the last 4 days probably wasn't too smart. My legs are pretty toasted between my scheduled runs FRI/SUN and the games THU, FRI, SUN.

I'm going to stay off my feet as much as humanly possible for the next week. One softball game, a 20 minute tempo run, and a 30 minute leg stretcher is going to be the extent of my physical exertion!

Look around the corral and you will realize it isn't as simple as what bib# you have to determine which corral you are in. Your husband's 7917 can be in the same corral. There isn't a direct correlation between bib# and corral placement. Most of the time due to when someone signed up.. such as your husband. Your dad may be moved up a corral from you.. even being only one bib away. (They do that for us "older" folks.) There really isn't any way of knowing until you get to the expo. Think of it as a surprise to look forward to.

That would make sense really (like I said, I wasn't trying to get into a higher corral) - but every Disney race I've been in so far, that hasn't been the case. The corrals have directly related to the bib #. (ie: 1-2000 were in A, 2001-4000 were in B, etc). My dad and I have done 3 halves together and we always sign up at the same time with the same completion times - our bibs have always had back-to-back numbers and we have always ended up in the same corral.
If they gave him a better corral than me, he'd just come back to my corral anyway - he walks at my pace even though he could go MUCH faster because we do it as "a team". (ie: he pulls me up that crazy hill with the green army men when all I want to do is sit and wait for the bus to pick me up!) But he'd prolly think it was funny if he got a better corral than me because he's "old"

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed. I'm going to be a spectator, and I don't see anywhere on the website that shows the spectator viewing areas like it does for the marathon in January. Is it possible to be in the Studios for the race? I have an annual pass. The park closes at 8pm, but will they let people in?

Sorry, but no. About the only place that you can be a spectator is along the course as it winds around Crescent Lake.

Thank you!!! That helps so much!

I entered the wine and dine late last year. Like waiting list late. Had a high bib number - 6600 I think. And I was in C. Looking arouynd the corral I saw various numbers with corral C on the bib. In January I was again in corral C.. I didn't take as much notice of the bibs.. Most were covered up because it was colder. I did notice I was standing next to a pace runner that was half an hour faster than the time I put down. I chaulked it up to my advance age.

Legal disclaimer..

I am not a Dr. You should seek professional advice...

Pain on a bone is often bone brusing. Often from overtraining too much too quickly. Or an injury like stepping in a hole. I have bruised my bones both ways. The pain for me was on the inside just at the top of the lower leg bone. If it is bone bruising.. It would only show up on an xray. It is basically that you almost broke the bone. It isn't something you want to run on. It is why I limped the January half... AGAINST my Dr.s advice.

Google it and see what you think.

Maybe since you signed up on the waiting list they gave you the bib number of someone who dropped out? Relatively speaking, 6600 isn't that high. I signed up for the race when it was about 55% full or so and I'm 7161.

I signed up in February with a anticipated finish of 2:45 and have 5111 as my bib.

Thank you SAm.. I hope is not the bone. I'll look it up. So far after 2 Advil this morning. I am feeling fine. Walking is normal. I see how it goes during the day. My friend that is running with me hurt his back by lifting stuff. Hopefully its nothing too major. Its just been a bad week of something happen un-expectantly.

That sounds about right to me...I signed up with a time of 3:00 so that explains why I'm all the way in the 7000s!

That could be it. I just remember looking around and not seeing any bib numbers close to mine.

I'm sure you're fine. The last week before a race every little pain makes me start to worry... This week for me it's a hamstring... I NEVER have hamstring problems.. so why now?

 

[Sam G]

Because it is a night race. The day of the race centers around... food.

Actually I will start Friday night working on my food needs. Protein Friday night. I'm thinking O'Hanna's if I can find somebody to go with me. (Went there last year by myself and felt bad wasting all the food they bring before the meat.)

So Saturday will start with a bigger breakfast, anywhere but where I'm staying (All Star Sports).

Then back to a pool to lay around and drink water.

Lunch will be at 3:00 - 4:00 Pm. Quick service at a good resort. Probably the contemporary because of the flat bread lunchs they have. Then back to the room to lie down. Get up at 7 and have a snack. Probably cliff bars I'll pick up at the Expo.

Well... Everything just changed. My son, who is a seasonal CM, just decided to come too. He's going to pick up a couple shifts. But now we're changing resorts.. One without transportation. I now have a dining plan. And we're taking golf culbs. So instead of hanging around the pool on Saturday.. I think we are golfing.

BTW.. During the after party.. Be nice to the janitor, it might be my son.

Cause it wants to just to mess with you.
