What do you all do when you go away on vacation? We will be going to Disney Nov 5-13 (a Friday to a Saturday) and I am suppose to run 6.5 miles that first weekend which I KNOW I won't be getting around to.. I will try to get in a few days of at least 3 miles while we are there, but I can't expect the kids to wait around the first day there so I can run 6.5 miles.. I planned on just repeating that week when I get home..
How many of you actually get in your miles while on vacation?
Leigh, I know it's a family vacation, but can I come? I'm so jealous!! I was thinking about going down to DL this weekend, but w/ the Mickey Halloween thing it's going to be crowded. I try to run on vacation. I don't go very often, most of the time they're long race weekends, and my longer vacations are usually in Boston visting my sister. When I'm there I run, usually what's scheduled or a little bit longer b/c it's Boston, a total running city and I love that place. If you're looking for places to run in WDW, you could play around w/ this website:
www.usatf.org If you click on running routes, they might have some people have saved around WDW and you can also click on create your own and play around w/ routes that way. And don't forget- with walking around WDW all day adds up miles too!!
I ran my first ever 14 miler Saturday. I'm right on course with my training and my calves have stopped hurting!
I've got an 18 coming up this Saturday and can't wait. I am pumped up right now and feeling really good.
Congrats on the 14!! You should have no problem w/ Goofy in January!!
So Day 2 report- I can kind of walk. Sitting and bending down is really hard though. I was going to wear a skirt today to avoid putting on pants, but it was too cold and I had to put on pants. If there was a video of me getting dressed this morning, it would have been hilarious. I rode my bike, very slowly, for about 5-10 minutes around the neighborhood this morning just to move some of the lactic acid out of my legs and move the muscles a bit. Surprisingly it helped a little. Didn't sleep though last night. My little dog woke me up around 12:45 so go outside, and I was absolutely starving. So I had some food and watched some random tv and finally feel asleep around 3:30-4:00. I think part of it was a combination of left over adrenaline and couldn't get comfortable so added to the lack from the night before, I am ready to get to bed soon.
On a much much happier note, I just got an email back from Nike, and when they finish redoing the necklaces, I get one in the mail. Now if I could only get a sexy fireman in a tux to deliver it to me....
I also set up an tattoo appointment to commemorate my 1st Marathon on Friday after work. I'm so excited! I have a Japanese conchi on my lower right back and off the side of the top right there is a little ledge and I am going to get my running shoes dangling off the top. Underneath that I'm getting 26.2 and under that 2010. The race colors were hot neon pink and hot neon yellow-green. Since the yellow-green wouldn't really stand out, I am going with the pink. It's funny, b/c I am a complete non-pink girl. But it's my 1st and I'm going w/ it.
So we'll see how the legs are tomorrow morning, if they're good maybe 3 or 4, if not, then the gym with a light bike with some upper body weights.
my hips were hurting after the half marathon at disney...I heard thats due to bad form 
Just do what the doc says and heal, so you can get back out there!
We can all ride the bus together at dark 30! 
My hubby and son won't be going to the half with me because I'll be done so early, and they aren't going to the full until the finish line, because it's going to take me so long. So, it'll be nice to have someone to talk to while we're all waiting around forever.
G'ville is about 3 hours away.. I haven't been to a game in a few years. I took my older son to one about 3 years ago and lucky for him it wasn't a good game because he wanted to leave at half time. 
who does that!!! 
oh.. I guess maybe a 4 year old! 
yes, but his slow is still way too fast for me!!
