Thank you so much! It's coming quickly!

Crazy that this is only 3 months away. Im so excited for this race!

 

[jeanigor]

Got my flight home last week and just bit the proverbial bullet for the trip there today. I'm pleased with the course as it is shown. Three months and counting. Woo hoo!!!

 

[jpeka65844]

That is so cool! LOVE that the majority of it is in the park and that we run through Carsland. I hope my photo ops don't slow me down!

I'm running a local 10K here in Kansas City tomorrow. It's a tough course with lots of hills. Hope it goes well!

DLR here we come, then it's on to Wine and Dine at WDW!

I came back from a work trip last week with a cough and a sore throat. Tonight was supposed to be my first 5k (ever). My sore throat seems gone, but still coughing a little. Not sure I should do it. booooo. Anyone have any thoughts?

How is your breathing? As long as you aren't too out of breath, and you are willing to take it slow if necessary, I would still do the 5k. Hope you feel better!

YAY for the 10k course! Looks good!

I would go ahead and do it- since it's your first 5K, anything will be a PR ! And then you can know how it feels to do a race when the stakes are very low. And have fun! If it's a night 5K, it's got to be cool, right?

Thanks for the sneak peek!
I love that the park time is at the end of the race instead of the beginning. Gives the extra magic to push to the end!

Yes. It's one of those glow ones, called Firefly I think.

I think I'm going to do it. The whole point was to get acclimated to a race. Breathing is fine; I just cough a little bit when I laugh suddenly.

We did the 5k for HH. Weather was great. I was undertrained, the second hill killed me. Official PR, however.

Hey fellow runners, all Disney Parks ticket prices going up tomorrow, inclusive of APs.

Good for you! Wasn't it a gorgeous morning? It was only my first 10K and I wasn't running it on a sore ankle (which I have NOW!) so it was a PR for me!

Loved the course, though. Trinity Hill at the end sucked but the downhill into the finish was awesome!

Whoops meant to say it was my second 10K.

 

[PennyLou]

I'm doing the Double Challenge, it will also be where I get my first cost to cost medal. I've very excited about it. I've been working on my Running costumes. For the 10K I'm going to be Jessie and for the 1/2 I'm going to be Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm excited.

I paid for everything and then decided to dedicate the race to Saint Jude's so I'm raising the money just because, since I already payed to enter. I'm having trouble reaching my goal for the fund raising but I hope I can get to it. I do really love Saint Jude's for the wonderful things they do.

Had some crazy developments in the travel department lately. American Airlines has gone to only one direct flight from MCO to LAX a day and it is at 5:55 pm landing at 8:05 pm. Our original flight was for Thursday but that is so late and would really put a damper on our fun. We have decided to switch to the Wednesday flight so that we don't have to stress about getting out and getting to the expo and still getting enough fun time in without completely being worn out. Called the airline last night and flight is changed (no charge!!) then called hotel and have additional night booked. I had ordered tickets through GET Travel but they can just adjust my order since they don't ship until August so it looks like everything will work out and we will have an extra day of fun.
Now if I can just get up the energy to run in this terrible humidity! Ugh!

That's exactly what happened to me with AA. I was furious since I had the morning flight booked. I couldn't leave on Wed. So I told them to cancel me. Even though it was non-refundable, after almost 2 hours on the phone last nite, they are refunding my cc. I booked with Delta, instead.

Congrats!

We ran that hill at the KC Half Marathon last year, going the opposite way. I work right there, so I drive up and down that hill all the time. Short and sweet.

I was so mad too, I didn't think we would be able to go on Wed either but DH decided he would rather do it that way and he has the paying job, lol. He didn't want to fight early morning traffic to get to MCO for 6am flight and all flights from JAX (or local airport) are super expensive and go through Miami- boo!

Just signed up to run 10K for St Jude. Yeah!


Any suggestions on EXPO, the race, etc. I see some are arriving day before EXPO.

Thanks
