Anyone keeping up with the Raw Threads shelf sale today? I scored Thor and Ariel racers for $26 including shipping. They keep changing out designs. http://rawthreads.com/womens-more-shelf-sale

I *adore* their stuff, and was pretty excited to finally be able to afford it! Alas, they don't ship to Australia

Welp - left a voicemail for a Chef's Counter booking at Napa Rose. Now, just waiting to hear back to see if I got one.

Maybe runDisney will post medal pictures to help me pass the time playing the Waiting Game ...

I had no idea they were changing the stuff out until I read your post yesterday, @rebapple! I looked at the sale right when it started...and I already had all of the shirts that they had posted. Soooooo after that realization I decided to do the responsible thing and not look at the sale page again!


*MINI RANT AHEAD*
I have to admit, though, that I've sort of soured on their stuff recently. Their new designs haven't been grabbing me (I haven't bought anything from them since their Black Friday sale) and for me, their clothes are REALLY awful to run in. I sweat a lot (ew) and not only do the non-black shirts look awful on sweaty me, I've also found that their moisture-wicking properties leave a lot to be desired. So I don't run in their stuff at all anymore...just wear the shirts around during non-running times.

I hope you get it! Just read about a friend that got to go there and it looked pretty awesome.

Wanting that shopper tote more and more. AHHHHHH! Decisions.

I love the shopper tote I have, and I love the letter carriers that I have. I had a really hard time deciding between the two and what made me go with the letter carrier for this one was the thought that it would be easier to use in the parks during the race weekend. Once I had that thought I pre-ordered before I could change my mind. I was driving myself insane trying to decide!!

OMG! I am so glad I am not the only one who feels this way about the lack of wicking capabilities of RawThreads shirts. I picked up one of their random shirt packs based on the glowing reviews and hate them for running. I finished a 45 min run and the tank was so wet, I was able to wring so much sweat out of it, I could have watered a plant with it. I have never had that problem with any of my other shirts. It also got heavy and was uncomfortable the last half of my run.

Yeah...I'm not impressed. One of my BFFs runs in them for half marathons and whatnot and I don't know how she does it. IF I do run in a RT shirt - and that is a BIG IF - it has to be for a short race and it has to be a black shirt. Otherwise, not happening.

The medals have been posted on the run disney page on Facebook!! Not sure how to post a link tho.

Eta- someone beat me to it. Thanks!

 

[mbwhitti]

Medals!!

[roselark]

Finally! And they are AWESOME!! I especially love the 5K and Half medals.

 

[mbwhitti]

Anybody want to sell me your 5k bib? JK! Kicking myself for not signing up...I love that design.

 

[Ariel484]

Finally!

My thoughts...
5K medallion is perfect. Cutest thing ever.
10K medal is AWESOME! So unique!
The half medal...not sure. Honestly, I hated it when I first saw it, I think because I have loved and wanted the classic script D medal for years. But it's growing on me...

Dumbo medal - they threw us all off with the pastel coloring in the training plan, but otherwise, this is about what I expected from them.

I love the ribbons on all of them!!

 

[mbwhitti]

Same thought with the half medal @Ariel484 but it's growing on me...also love the ribbons. Probably my favorite part.

Yeah, LOVE the sparkling Mickeys on the ribbon.

I mean...credit to runDisney. I was convinced it would be a script D with a diamond on it, so kudos to them for going an unexpected route (unexpected to me anyway). As one of my BFFs pointed out, this IS the only medal that will ever look like this (I'd assume, anyway).

I'm reminding myself that I hated the 20th anniversary marathon medal when they released pics/video of that one too...and now it's my favorite medal that I have. I'm sure this one will continue to grow on me...

 

[Kathymford]

I was disappointed at first too, but agree it's growing on me. Especially when I saw the detailed photo that @Ariel484 posted. A spinner, two gems, a castle and a running Mickey. That's pretty solid.

 

[Keels]

I'm a little disappointed with the Half medal, but I'm sure in time it will grow on me.

It just looks so ... cluttered? And it definitely appears smaller than the Classic D logo they've had in years past.

Oh wells. I'm just ready for race weekend to get here!
