Singles Social Club: It's Still 5 o'clock somewhere!

[DIS_MERI]

Hey, I figure I probably do at least a half-marathon's worth of walking on a normal day in the parks anyway. The 26.2 was a stretch, but I finished strong and was fine the next day. And it is pretty cool to be able to say I finished a marathon.

I think someone already mentioned there are at three half marathons @WDW. And two at DL.

Yes, I've been gazing at the rundisney page The Wine and Dine half looks neat, especially with the special tastings from the Food and Wine festival Maybe I can find someone to do the 2nd half of the relay and do it this year

 

[ctnurse]

could we get a second opinion on that ?

Your NOT crazy

I did the full in January, although I'm a walker with occasional bouts of running. Don't know if I'll be doing another any time soon--we went back to the half for 2012. But bragging rights are great, as is the Mickey medal.

I had no idea you could walk/run!!!! I could run a 5k since I can run 3 miles at the gym. But never really entertained the idea of a 1/2 since I thought I would have to run the entire thing.

Now this is my idea of fun...Food wine and working out all rolled into one day

How was everyone's day. I had a busy day at work, I had my trainee with me again. Then I went to gym, picked up DS at school, came home had dinner and then played baseball with DS. I am ready for bed.

Mine was good, back into the swing of things! Good luck to all of you doing the marathon/half marathon! I am a cyclist myself, ride the BP MS150 each year here in Houston. No running for me!

That makes two of us!

Yes, I'd like to do the Wine and Dine sometime, also the Princess half. My work schedule makes those times of year a challenge. The January marathon weekend is no problem. I think I may be able to do the Wine and Dine in 2014 if they're still running it

That's cool! I have a friend who used to do the bike ride every year until he moved out of state.

Good Night all!!

LOL,,, I'm definitely crazy.. trust me..

 

[ahoff]

That is cool that Disney keeps coming up with new medals to entice people to run the races I'm pretty sure I won't be up for a half by then, though, lol. Maybe I can make that a goal, to be able to run a half by 2013 How long did most of you train before being able to tackle a half?

My running training is probably poor, as far as a half or full would go. I only run 2 or 3 times a week, 3 to 4 miles. But I bike a lot. I ride to work most days, 13 miles each way. And I have a group of friends I do other rides with. And have been swimming now for the last 8 months, an hour 2 or 3 times a week. I have done up to a half, and have done many duathlons. My goal is to do a tri.

Yes, there are three Halfs and one Full at DW. I think there are two and one at DL. And most of the races have 5K's, which seem to be verynon competitive, lots of walking with charactors out for photo ops.

It does kind of sound fun...especially if you have peeps to do it with...

Sounds like you could form a relay, you will be down there anyway

Tell me more about this ride. I was just in Boston Saturday for a 150 mile ride. It seems pretty popular, sells out the first day of registration. I sat on the bus back with someone who came up from Virginia for it.

When I was in Houston, the MS150 was from Houston to Austin and helped raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.

1. Hmmmmm, I am thinking I might just take off work for those nights (no PTO needed, just rearrange my schedule. . .lol). If you don't get any takers, I will take the space. Easier than driving home everyday. . .lol.



2. Personally, I will suggest not trying to catch up too much. . .it moves too fast.

1. Uh-oh.... This could get dangerous!

2. Under normal circumstances... true. But Friday's conversation was quite....unique. And everybody should experience the fun that came from the Trio of Tasty Tipsy Tight Tushes.

Ewww, snow doesn't belong at Disney anyway! That is very encouraging that you were able to walk a lot of it. I need to make sure I can *walk* the 13.1/26.2 miles before I commit to anything, though, lol. I had grand running plans several times when I was in the Navy, but they never materialized. I was, however, in a totally different (and not so great) place mentally, emotionally and physically then

Um... i beg to differ. Snow is awesome when you are walking down Main Street. As are the 'free' cookies and hot chocolate.

You should do it. We'll all be down there anyways, and we even have space available if you want someplace to stay.

i just woke up a little while ago. Pretty much didn't get out of the office until around 1pm yesterday. Went home... started a load of laundry, and then was passed out by 3. I'm feeling the lack of sleep today.

Trust me, it's much less awesome when it's 4am, 25 degrees and you're waiting in your corral for the race to start.

The comment was that Snow didn't belong at Disney. At to that, i disagree. I will however say that there are times it doesn't belong there.... such as 4am waiting in your corral.

HAPPY SUMMER!!!!


I checked my WDW ressie this am only 57 days until I am in the world!

Today is also the last day of school....I will have a 2nd grader that lives in my house by the end of the day!!!


These 3 things make me very happy

 

[MyMuse]

Good luck! i've trained for a few 5ks and half marathons, its not easy at first but once you get motivated you fall in love with it. im still trying to talk myself into running the Disney marathon

Actually there are three 5K's now, one at each of the full and half races, and the Everest one. Though that one almost works out to an 8K as you are running back through the park again looking for clues.

The owner of my gym signed me up for Run Club a few weeks back. This Sat will be the third meet. So far, so good-ish. I can run on a treadmill but outside is not my thing, but I did it.

I have no idea whether I can actually do a 5k or a marathon...seems too lofty of a goal.

There is always something to do in the city! I want to see the HP exhibit one of these days.

Yes! There's always something I want to do, just have to make time for it. and it keep me occupied and out of trouble.

There's a couple of Bway plays closing way earlier than I expected it to, so I may concentrate on that.

The HP exhibit was good; I enjoyed it. And of course, there's a dump shop they place you in afterwards.

Connected is the Cake Boss Cafe, which is more of a hole-in-the-wall-teeny-tiny-bakery.

Personally, I will suggest not trying to catch up too much. . .it moves too fast.

I didn't exactly try, there's only so much I can read in one sitting, especially whe I can't catch up!


Hope everyone's Tuesday is going well!

 

[taramoz]

Just popping in to say hello, not going to try to catch up!
