The Official 2013 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Thread

[Ariel484]

I played with my Galloway intervals and had an amazing run this morning. Best pace ever: 11:16!!!! Granted, that was only for a few miles. I have a 5K on Saturday that I would like to get that kind of pace for. If I do, can I submit a 5K time for corral change at W&D? Or does it have to be a longer race?

Congrats on that great pace!

You can't use the 5K for corrals, unfortunately. Has to be a 10K or longer. Good luck!!

When can you register for the race? Just curious since I'm planning to run next year. I'm assuming it's sometime in the spring?

Usually about 8 months out from the race date.

Hi Pluto- nope no DH. After his 10k we decided its just too hectic trying to get two of us ready for the half distance. He's starting a new job this month too so not this year. My sis was supposed to run with me but also got a new job and can't. So I'll be running solo again this year! I don't mind. I tune out and listen to my music, watch the disney sights around me and generally read funny shirts around me.

I don't have a costume planned but I did pick up a bondiband headband that says "will run for wine" - might wear that. I better start thinking about what I'm going to wear.....

Me too. I'll be running "solo" but think I'll have PLENTY of fellow DIS'ers around! And I guarantee one of those shirts you'll be reading will be mine!

Here's my running show tunes:

Turn it Off- Book of Mormon
Holiday- American Idiot
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life- Spamalot
Our Favorite Son- Will Rogers Follies
Let me Drown- Wild Party
Use What You Got- The Life
You Can't Stop the Beat- Hairspray
Overture/All That Jazz- Chicago
Step One- Kinky Boots
The Jam- Jelly's Last Jam
No More- Tick Tick Boom
Man- Full Monty
Into the Fire- Scarlet Pimpernel
Gimme Love- Kiss of the Spiderwoman
Brand New Day- Dr Horrible
La Vie Boheme A and B- Rent

For those showtune nuts who also like to run!

LOVE this! Especially La Vie Boheme since I just watched Rent this weekend!

14210 for the half. I'm going to put money on that being the last coral. Starting in the back might keep me from starting out too fast, but it also means a lot of weaving at the start.

I was 14-something last year and started in G. "Weaving" is putting it mildly...can you say nightmare? Ugh!

Okay, so the judges came back with 3259! Could have sworn last year when I printed out the waiver it had the corral letter on it, so I'll be curious to see where I land this year.

2377! I'm thinking that would be Corral B.
I think since my 10K this past blew away my prior 10k time, can you resubmit your time? My SIL/BIL are both running and are in corral A. It would be neat to run with them....but would also be kind of neat to run it alone and see what I'm made of.

I'm still recovering from the tumble I took in the 10k on Sunday. I have a HUGE bruise on my arm. HUGE. I went down on a curb trying to people dodge during the 2nd mile. DH has told me that I'd better be extra careful in Disney b/c falling at the beginning of the vacation could hinder the rest of our 'magical time'. He's right! I told him that I might still be black/blue when we leave in 5.5 weeks!

This was Sunday. Its even greener/bluer/yuckier today! I am telling my friends/family that it is my race medal.

Back in the saddle for the upcoming weekend. 10-11 planned. The following weekend I will be going the full 13.1. Then starts the beloved taper!

That's what I figured. Dang it!

Ouch!! This is why I run slow - so when I fall ( and I do ) I don't hit the payment so hard. Lol

Fell better

And make sure you don't wait to register...next year's race will be the 5th anniversary and anniversary years tend to sell out more quickly.

The deadline to email updates was September 1, so you'll have to take your faster time to Runner Relations at the expo (I wonder if this will be the last year they do corral changes at the expo since they aren't doing it in January??).

OUCH...that is some bruise! Glad it's just a bruise and nothing more.

That's what I figured. Dang it!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Hope you have a great race!

Here's a question...did anyone get one of the necklaces last year? Curious to see what they look like and hear about the quality.

 

[wood8176]

I received bib number...856
I submitted a previous 1/2 marathon of 1:53 and an optimistic finish of 1:48
Fingers crossed.

 

[dlbwright]

Been quiet lately, but have been here and lurking. My bib is 4657.

Ran the farthest I even ran on my own last weekend 11.2. Learned a big lesson, make sure you eat before and/or after a long run. Was in a rush to get DD to a birthday party and almost passed out. Won't do that again!

Can't wait to get to Disney, just over a month away. so exciting!

how did you get your bib number? I have not heard from Run Disney in over a week???

I did! they were silver metal (not sure what quality silver, I'm talking color when I say silver), and there was a spaceship earth charm with the running mickey carrying the serving dish charm over it. Mine never lay quite right, but I don't care - I wear it anyway on days when I need to remember what I can possibly accomplish when I set my mind to it. I hope they change it up this year, so I can have two different ones!

A member here posted a link to the waivers (It's on page 166 of this thread).
When you go to the screen to print the waiver, at the bottom is your name and bib number.

9748! I got the all clear to start training again today! I threw out my back really bad 3 weeks ago so I have been on virtual bed rest for a month! I am gonna start out on the elliptical and on Tuesday start up with interval running again. Really worried about this race, but I am feeling much better.

 

[Fruto76]

I am 4039 getting excited!

 

[MightyDuck001]

2500 something. I was hoping to move up since my 10K time is now under 1:00 hour but I'll probably be in C... again.
