The Running Thread--2024

We were supposed to be pink and went in a later wave to be orange

That is a phenomenal picture! Was there a particular reason why you chose to go Orange instead of Blue?

No reason other than the village was closer.

Maybe I also thought about being on the side.

I think I read somewhere it's not more than 4%. Pink wave is on the bottom and they have it the easiest. Blue and Orange wave are on top and I hear that Orange wave has it the hardest - lucky me, I'm in Orange!

Also in Orange! Just hoping that I don't get too excited and go out too fast!

If you are on IG, runninginmakeup got access to the whole new rD core merch line and it's all on her stories!

I grabbed screen shots of the new cross body Lug (didn't catch a price) and the water bottle Lug ($50) for you @Herding_Cats




Edit to add that she's now added a video to her feed with a walk around the whole floor with a rD rep. One possibly troubling bit of info, the sizing is now "slimmer" than the standard Disney sizing. Not athletic slim, but smaller than it has been. There was no indication that it's been switched to Brooks yet. They did say the change was "because of participant feedback"... not sure if I buy that.

 

[Herding_Cats]

Thank you!! Looks like I’m going to be ISO last year’s because I prefer that it was more neutral.

Oooh, I might need that crossbody.

Oooh, I might need that crossbody.

I'm pretty sure I'll be grabbing one tomorrow.

Another video dropped teasing a rD ATHLEISURE LINE at MW! Can we hope it might be Brooks??

I only ask because I read that the Orange side has a greater incline, but I would choose the Statue of Liberty side as well for that view. Was this a one-and-done or do you plan to run NYC again?

October Totals

Running
Runs: 26
Miles: 246.76
Time: 34:10:32
Avg Pace: 8:19

YTD Miles: 1,852.44 (one goal for this year is to get to 2,000 miles after totaling 1,966 in 2023)
Last 12 months miles: 2,259.10

I am just 10 days from running the Harrisburg Marathon. This was my third consecutive month with 200+ miles, and the 246.76 is the most miles I've ever done in a month, beating out December 2022's 224.91. Fingers crossed that I'm ready! I'm guessing all of you have a mix of nervousness and excitement as a marathon approaches?

It was a one and done until there is an occasion to do it again

The Statue of Liberty was far but we saw it.
It was the best Marathon we could have (even with cramping 2 miles before the end).

October Miles = 132

The miles are picking up. I hit my highest monthly total of the year as I am now midway through Dopey training for January.

I am registered for the Airline Trail Ghost Run half marathon this Saturday. It is is a point to point trail run that spans three Connecticut towns on an old 19th century abandoned Boston to NY train route. I did my last two long Sunday runs on the trail just to check it out. It is pretty wild how they created the "direct" and relatively level route by blasting through ledge and building long viaducts over valleys. Is anyone here familiar with this race and/or the Airline Trail?

January Miles = 116
February Miles = 105
March Miles = 111
April Miles = 118
May Miles = 117
June Miles = 104
July Miles = 121
August Miles = 107
September = 113


2024 Total = 1,144

I ran the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday! It was a good, if painful, day. The recap is in my training journal.

First over-100-mile month in a long time. Ramping up for WDW Marathon and following my recycled DopeyBadger plan to a T.

Low key month after Chicago was done. I have a 10 mile race this Sunday. I have no plans or expectations with it...which is kind of nice.

What a month!

While on vacation, DH and I were able to run the usual volume and it was pleasant to have no pressure to do so, only our own desire. We discovered nice places for running. The main surprise is how runnable and enjoyable Miami Beach is. We last visited as non-runners with small kids in tow so we didn’t have the same vision. Same could be said about cruising with my adult DD earlier in the trip, we had a fantastic time.

Disney wise, we spent two nights at AoA to attend MNSSHP. We had a blast! Hence, my favorite quote of the month, from Cruella DeVil herself: “Nothing says commitment like matching outfits“.

Happy Halloween

October running:

Distance: 92.9 miles
Time: 17:27:23

Another solid and uneventful month! I was in Orlando for 16 of those days and the heat is not my favorite, but I do enjoy running around the resorts so it keeps me on track. Back home tomorrow, ready for November!

 

[dis_or_dat]

It might be too late but you have so much adrenaline running up Verrazzano bridge at the beginning so the incline doesn't feel like anything and the views are awe inspiring (so you may trash your legs for the rest of the race), however the Queensboro ...
