Wine and Dine 2015

[Miranda]

Three days of work for me. My flight leaves at 10:20 on Thurs.

I better do some work on my playlist this week. I'll probably just go with about 1.5 hours and throw it on repeat. I'll probably take out my headphones for some parts, now that I have a Garmin, though. The biggest reason I ran Tink with one headphone in the entire time was I was still using RunKeeper at the time, and needed to hear my run/walk alerts.

Three days of work for me too. My flight leaves at 7:10 am Thursday. Just tried to pack and realized I will still need lots of the stuff before I leave lol. So just stuck things I don't want to forget in my suitcase and backpack. I'm so excited!

And aren't you really fast? You can't possibly need that many songs on your playlist! I however definitely need to add to my list and rearrange a few things.

That would have been my thirty-year-old self...Now it's, "Please don't let it be 10 minutes slower this year."

It's more of a group, running themed, hypothetical playlist. I listen to albums, and most likely, won't have tunes going at the race. "Guy gets on bus because the tunes were too good, running was just distracting." Besides would anyone even talk to me if they knew I had King Crimison - "Elephant Talk" going.

Four days of work for me but one of them is an out-of-town training day so it should be an easy day. I still haven't started packing anything yet and really should do some laundry tonight.

 

[Miranda]

My legs are feeling really antsy. Which is surprising for me since I did run 4.25 yesterday. I am spinning tomorrow and Wednesday. I need to fight the urge to go hard in those classes.

I'm still waiting to be a little closer and have an accurate weather forecast before I pack. Running stuff I know but not sure about after race clothes and day clothes, looking like mostly shorts.
I do need to start making sure I have all the running crap we need- glide stick, baby wipes, corn cushions...
And I never did experiment with gu. Since that's what we r thinking they will have at water stop and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to do it without gagging! Guess I'll bring something else just in case

 

[abbs25]

Just ran 3 miles today. I will do another 30 minute run on Tuesday and Thursday. I am hopefully ready, my last really long run (12.5) was two weeks ago.

 

[flatlandcycle]

I may be slightly paranoid but I felt a "twinge" in my ankle while out walking and a slight pain in my left calf. So I am now wearing a compression brace on each ankle and calf sleeves on both legs lol. Also iced the ankle for 20 minutes. Taking no chances!

...know the feeling. The knee that I didn't ice is aching; the one that was hurting, before ice, is fine. My heels are pretty crunchy. Will I throw my back out lugging water for an icy soaking?

There will be one stop, at 8.4, with "Clif Bar product", whatever that is. I think it was gel at Tink.

99% chance its gels,that's what they always have given at all RunDisney races I've done.I'm starting to get tired of the gels and I have to go to the running store at my run club to buy some chews,GU Chomps or Cluf Bloks,they're usually cheaper there than most everywhere else.I have so many races coming up I think I need to buy a couple of packages on EBay or Amazon,that's where you'll find the lowest price per pack of anywhere I've seen.

I'm ready for all of y'all to get here! I've been lonely in the parks with nary a sight of a rDer!

We are flying in wednesday morning and will hopefully be at epcot by 12:30

One of the perks of being single.

Awww, I remember those days fondly!

HUSBANDS??? Wasn't there a TV show that had a guy with mulitple wives

Agree with Huggybuff about the being single perk. Although everyone says i have a Disney wife, a running wife, a work wife, a Nascar wife, a drag racing wife, and a martial arts wife at one point. so i can understand the lack of sleep.

LOL, in full disclosure, I only have one husband. As soon as I can get a brother husbands show maybe I'll consider more than one. Wait, nevermind, that is way too much work! I'll just stick with one!

Three work days left, my flight leave at 5:30 Thursday morning. I am almost all the way packed, just need to throw in chargers, make sure I have credit cards, glasses and other last minute items. My last run is Tuesday night. I am so paranoid that I'm not going to pack my running shoes after the run.

 

[sperkins921]

I'm the only one who has to work on Thursday! Though I am coming in early and leaving at two and heading straight to the airport for a 5 o'clock flight I won't land until 930 on Thursday night. But the good news is I happened to be last-minute checking the national car rental places and finally some cars showed up available at that time. So now I will be able to pick up a car at the airport and go straight to the resort!

Before, national was saying that it was all out of cars and thus I was going to take the magical express to the resort and then pick up a rental car Friday morning before going to the expo. So now I get to go straight to the expo in the morning! Which is great because I want to be able to get a pair or three or six or LOL of shoes and I want the KT people to tape my knee. Runner's knee has not been a problem for me in over a year, but like the rest of you I'm not taking any chances LOL I know that line can be long so I want to hit it up early.

I can save for some certainty that I will be wearing a sparkle skirt in the wild child pattern but I don't have any exciting shirts to wear. My bondi band will either say "will run for sanity" or "not fast but not last". Will run for sanity is black the other one is pink. I know, not in the least bit helpful lol

I'm not in costume because I'm just not as creative as some of you folks!!

 

[huggybuff]

Only one day of work left for me! Although I'm not flying out until Thursday morning, I decided I needed the prep time to run errands and such.

I'm wearing the 'May the Course Be With You' shirt from Raw Threads for the race. It was supposed to be accompanied by a tutu but someone *ahem, BFF* flaked on putting it together. I'll be at the after-party solo as well. I don't expect to finish until 2-ish, so please leave me some food at the booths.

I don't know how much time you have but it's super easy to make your own tutu even if you have no sewing ability--I made my own in few hours and it was quick and not very hard. I just googled no sew tutu video tutorial and checked out a couple to get the gist of what I needed to do. I would say make sure to measure around your waist for the elastic size and subtract around 4-6 inches from that if you do decide to make one.

You're not the only one, I'm working Thursday too! I'm traveling for work and get back Tuesday night. In the office Wednesday and Thursday, and then straight from the office to pick up my husband at the train station and go to the airport.

You guys are all beating me there. I have to work up through Thursday, and then my flight isn't scheduled until 9:15 that night. Won't get into Orlando until after 1 am, and probably not to the resort until almost 3. I'm still planning to try to get to the expo at opening though.

You'll pretty much all beat me there; we aren't driving out until Friday morning. We live in Tallahassee so we'll probably leave around 7:00 a.m. (if I can get my husband from the bed to the car that early ) so we can get to the expo around 11 a.m. I really want that tank top and I'm worried it'll sell out early.

I'll be in Wonderland with a reddish pink shirt. No costume for me either.
