ATTQOTD: I don't buy stuff, so merch expo holds no appeal to me. The only place I ever bought anything was at Boston Marathon, and that is special......now if I could just find a larger version of the shirt I had from 2011 which just said "Right on Hereford, left on Boylston" then that would be good.
At Disney, it's all about picking up the bib/shirt and getting out of there.
I got that shirt either in 2013 or 2014, I cant recall but I do wear it from time to time, but less now as I dont want to ruin it lol. So I dont wear it as much now. A quick search on google, and I see what you mean. I cant find one like the one I have either. I am sure if I spent some time I could find one probably on ebay but it probably cost twice what it was then.
ATTQOTD: I would do anything other than pay a large sum to avoid an expo. I hate crowds. I don’t enjoy shopping. There is literally nothing about an expo I like lol! My goal is always to get in and get out as quickly as possible.
This! Using Disney as a example. Taking a bus from the resort to the expo and then spending the minimum amount of time in packet pickup, followed by the bus back to the resort... This is like a hour to two hour ordeal and I want to dedicate less than 15 minutes to it.
What are people's go-to pump up songs. Like get you through a really hard workout song. I'm making my playlist for my 10k and need a few more songs in case the music on course isn't "pump-upy" enough for me hahaha
The Only Way I Know by Jason Aldean. Lyric below for reference.
"That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead, never turn round
Don't back up, don't back down
Full throttle, wide open
You get tired and you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know"
Another is by Better than Ezra - Desperately Wanting
This one was my from my high school XC days lol, back 1998-2002
"I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting"
Cake - The Distance
Master P - Make 'Em Say Uhh
Foo Fighters - My Hero
Eminem - Till I Collapse
U2 - Beautiful Day
System Of a Down - Chop Suey!
I'll add I do not currently listen to music or anything while running, so that may be why my song recommendations are a bit dated lol
