The last 2 halfs I did this year at DL (Star Wars and Tink), the Starbucks was opened early. There were a few restaurants that opened early during the race weekend (Starbucks, Jamba, Wetzel Pretzels). They post a sign so you could probably check the sign for participating restaurants and hours the day before your race.
There will never be another first half marathon so enjoy it! Be sure to thank all the volunteers, high five people cheering you on, and smile at the end! You'll have a blast!
So DH and I did our 16km run up in Cairns. We got going by about 6am, ran along the beach, up to the mangrove boardwalk, then through the botanic gardens and along the creek trail back. We took just over 2 hours, and it was heating up by the end of the run, but we enjoyed it for the most part and managed to run the whole distance (aside from fuel breaks and brief pauses for photography).
CEP was an exhibitor at most of the WDW races. I bought a pair of their socks last year. They might have been discounted a little bit, but I think they were still somewhere between $40 and $50
I'm with you. People ask when stuff is open and what is sold the morning of the races and I never know because I never bother to look. I ALWAYS bring my own stuff from home - bagels, single-serve pods of peanut butter, coffee creamer & disposable coffee cups with lids to make coffee in the room...not taking any changes with my stomach the morning of a race!
Right? HEY RUNDISNEY: Everyone that has the internet already knows this stuff is out!!
Check your spam? You really get more info here than in the rD emails.
Ariel sending you massive healing and energy boost! You will be swimming in positive energy! Go girl but be safe.I am VERY nervous for my runs this weekend. I was good and took a rest day yesterday, like I said, and my back has been feeling pretty good. But I'm still nervous!
I'm trying to get myself pumped up so I figured a good way to do that was to pick out some cute outfits to wear...yes, it has come to this.
I have my Princess Half ADRs tomorrow first thing in the morning and then I'm heading right out the door for 5 miles - I think I'm going to be super cautious and do run 2:00/walk 1:00 intervals. And then depending on how that goes maybe 3:00/1:00 on Saturday.
I also figured out that my shoes I use for cross training activities (TRX + general walking around) were totally shot, so I pulled a new pair out of the closet today. SO MUCH BETTER!
Way to go @kelly 1!! Hope that calf is feeling better!
