Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[HopperFan]

Does this thread need to be moved to the rumours section? I'm starting to think so. Moderator!!!

According to Disney this is not a rumor, so I say we hold our ground and our theory that this is a trick.

Oh boy. I don't know if I can handle you guys just kidding.

Well, once you are old enough to drink and have kids that drive you nuts and have to pay the bills that come with a Disney trip ... then you will easily slip down the slippery slopes of nonsense to keep your sanity. For now you can read along and roll your eyes at our ... at what might be your future .... Disney Support Group via DIS.

Eeek.. in a few weeks?! Can we start with like a "100 yard weekend"?

I'm going to start training for the princess half marathon on 5/5 but I haven't run at all since last October! Minor back injury from doing overhead presses and squats at the gym... then school took over and I stopped working out at all. Other than hula-hooping, if that counts for anything!

I think you missed the name .... Rumors of Light Lounger's Non-Marathon Weekend ...
What might be good is to run from Africa to Asia .... it will sound impressive.

That reminds me....

I injured my foot (I think running, hard to tell) back in...oh, um...October and it was very slow to heal (I blame middle age). But it was probably back to about 85-90% at this point. But I somehow appeared to reinjure it over Easter weekend. I feel like I've set myself back a couple of months. I've had my head in the sand about it all week but I'm kind of starting to panic at this point. I'm not sure how I'm going to do Disney walking.... You will see me hobbling around in my Rumors of Light t-shirt...

Oh no! Maybe get it looked at? Steroid shot? Ice it? Soak it? Elevate? Epsom salt and pickle juice? I don't know, but I hope you feel better before vacation!

You are seriously hilarious!

I edited my post just a few moments ago!

Edit: Aha! Just noticed the "non" ... non-marathons are my speciality. Can I have a non-marathon completion metal and a photo with Maggie?

But now that I realize how impressive running from Africa to Asia is, I will be increasing my "gimme" requests to a model ROL float. Alligator shaped please!

 

[disneymath]

I think that was from the end of February.

ETA: oops, I see that was addressed. I'm way behind today. Dealing with trying to replace my totaled out SUV.

I feel for you, and hope your evening ends on a brighter note.

My dad had to jump through hoops to get ours to his preferred autobody shop today. (The police officer had asked him where he wanted it towed, but for whatever reason that's not where the tow truck brought it.) Insurance adjuster will be inspecting it tomorrow to determine whether it will be repaired or written off.

CAN WE PLEASE GET TSHIRTS OF MAGGIE ON THE ALLIGATOR?!?!!

 

[moobar25]

Woohoo! My ROL shirt has shipped!!!

And to @ArielSRL as well: Sorry you both are dealing with this. Hope it's settled quickly and to both of your advantages.

Oh yeah, I've been to several RunDisney Half Marathons along with tons of others in other places 'cause I have 2 kids that were distance athletes in high school and college. Going to the Star Wars one in two weeks ............. to cheer on my "runner" DS.

I think my kids have caught me running only a couple times - not pretty - and they were sure I was being chased by the Grim Reaper.

SO yeah ...... Africa to Asia is long enough for me or I might be seeing Mr. Grim.

Need to design medals that look like the float ........... hmmmm ............ maybe a new challenge.

 

[disfamz]

Ha! You know it! Shoveling today didn't help! I need to get my friend the athletic trainer to tape me up with the magical tape ...can't remember what it's called but it's great...

Kinesiology tape?

@KateP85 - absolutely adorable little boy! I have a 6 month old daughter we can set him up with! ;D

 

[AngiTN]

Oh my! I must get sleep tonight so I won't be able to stay up; I have tickets to the Masters practice round and DH wants to get there by 7 am so I'm out for tonight. I won't be able to drag myself around a golf course all day with no sleep. Good luck, all!

Have a blast. We went a few years ago. I was so impressed with the condition of the course. Hope we get to go back someday. DH has cousins that live in Augusta. They are part of the group that rent their house out and go on vacation during the Masters

 

[Traceylee]

You guys are in Atlanta, too? We are in Gwinnett.

I am in Johns Creek.

She's going to be robbing the cradle.
