Official 2012 Wine and Dine ½ Marathon Thread

[roomthreeseventeen]

Welp, my flights leaves tomorrow morning and I haven't packed yet. Don't even know what i'm going to run in.. However, I am excited and ready to go, even though I didn't get much running in as I should have.. Hoping my momemtum will carry me through..

For the people who are a DW, what's the weather like? I was trying to decide if I should run in long sleeves or not.

I'm not packed either!

It looks like gun time will be about 66 degrees and 65% humidity. I'm running in a skirt and singlet, with a throwaway shirt for he corral.

Me too. Was just there this past weekend. I feel like an idiot. Oh well. Why didn't I think of the possible discount.

I did at least get the passholder discount but 10% compared to 50% off? No brainer

You guys are all going to be laughing at me! I'm wearing heavy sweat pants and a hoodie to stay warm in before the start and then ditch and long sleeves for the race. And I'm worried just the one layer won't be enough!

Right now in south FL it's 64 and partly cloudy. A little chilly for these bones but beautiful for running. Other than my ears getting a little chilly with the breeze as I ran around my lake last night , it was probably my fastest practice run yet!

To all of you hopping on flights, be safe! Let me be the first to say...! And of course, "Have a Magical Day!!

Guess I might take me a throwaway shirt as well.

Ok, now i am more than likely wearing long sleeves because that's kind of cold for me..LOL

 

[Ebeezy]

nvm

 

[bigtony777]

I guess it all depends on what you are used to running in, but I would love to have the temperature be another 20 degrees cooler. I run in shorts and a short sleeve shirt down to 40 depending on the wind.

Good luck to everyone!

T minus 6.5 hours until Mickey lift off!! How in the world am I supposed to actually concentrate on work today? Oh that's right, I haven't been concentrating on work for the past three weeks because I'm spending all my time here with you guys! YAY!!!!!!!

Same here! Usually the day before vacation, I am procrastinating and then have to stay a little late. Today I have less work to do and I completed almost all of it already! WOO!

You mean we are supposed to be working? I thought I got paid to talk to Disney people all day. Hmm. Go figure.

I know!

I'm bringing long and short sleeves, shorts and capris. I think I'll end up in the capris and short sleeves. Haven't planned a cover up yet - will grab from my stash. I haven't packed either. But my race music mix is complete! I spent a long time last night sorting my iTunes, looking at the course map, and organizing my songs. This will be the first time I'm planning to have the songs in a particular order rather than shuffling. I'm hoping it is a nice boost.

If you get the chance, download "Maybe This Will be My Year" by Train. For those of us who were in high school in the 80's, the references to Journey's Don't Stop Believin' and the timing of my first Disney run are rather ironic.

Can you believe the county decided to run a mock plane crash today?!? Don't these people know I'm going to my fave place on the planet in less than 2 hours?!? Oh the humanity.....

Thanks for the music suggestion. Im gonna check it out. I still have to add about 2 miles worth yet and journey made the cut but not don't stop believin did not - too much of it lately w glee redoing it made me tired of it! I do have 50 ways to say goodbye by train on there too- I added it during my disneyland visit so it makes me think of running AND Disney.

If anyone has remember the magic parade music from the 25th mk birthday, it is also a good one (at least the beginning of it where it's fast)!

Any other music ideas would be welcome!!!

Cool yesterday and today, but warming up during the week. I am going to wear short sleeve and capris (my normal running pants) and a sweatshirt and pants to chuck along the way.

Other tip - Fantasyland has been opened both times I've been to MK, even got a reservation for Be My Guest for dinner tonight only because they told us where to come and at what time last night.

 

[PlutoBaby]

IT'S TIME!!!! IT'S TIME!!! I am SO outta here!! See everybody Saturday!!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

For this race, I have a bunch of Disney music in my playlist, a little Glee, and a few songs of current popular music. For the Disney stuff, some upbeat tracks are from Disneymania albums, some park audio, some Disney movie soundtracks - I have "Almost There" from Princess and the Frog slated to play during the last mile. I put in a few songs that remind me of people. My goal isn't to have heart-pounding, bass-thumping music, as that isn't really my thing. I have uptempos that make me smile or otherwise put a spring in my step.

I'm going to be attempting my first music free race. I think I run faster when I'm not trying to run to a specific beat.

 

[lerxst]

Yup...at got the passholder discount.

 

[Haas4Concern]

Sitting in MCO right now. Hopefully hitting new fantasyland tonight if my parents plane lands in time.
