The Running Thread - 2018

PCFriar80 said:
Just for the record, my comments are all "tongue-in-cheek" and more or less a reflection on how bad I follow instructions. Just looking for that loophole. This was a great exercise and look forward to seeing if I can maintain my middle of the road status with the next results. And yes, this is coming from a PC Friar to a UConn Husky.

You should be fine as long as they're in your 1-quart ziploc bag. (Assuming they're under 3 ounces per, which shouldn't be a problem.)

@LSUlakes - two races to add, s'il vous plaît.

November 2018
22 - Kazrak - Fountain Hills Turkey Trot 5k (NG / NA)

December 2018
30 - Kazrak - Brazen Almost New Year's Eve 10k (1:14 / N/A)

Still pondering the NYD race, which has awful hills and happens the day before we fly to Orlando. But my daughter is planning to do the 5k, so I may go with her.

Thanks!

***I originally did not have Primeval Whirl or Tower of Terror as correct answers but Primeval Whirl does sometimes go backwards and I give folks creativity credit on Tower of Terror as it does goes backward a few feet when it returns from the shaft so I counted both as correct.

So I had to look this up. And apparently I was wrong. I always assumed it was on Disney property. It is bordered by Disney owned property on 3 sides and only accessible from inside the Disney gates. I do wonder though if the property it sits on was once owned by Disney and they sold it or whatever.
 
ATTQOTD: Number 1. I am more stiff after an intense run but could walk in the parks forever. Like others said, with shows, meals and rides, there is some resting moments built in.
 
Dear Mother Nature,
Earlier this year when I said I would rather run on the hottest day of the year, rather than the coldest day of the year, I DID NOT MEAN EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
Thanks, OSGG

Our highs have been 10-12 degrees above average and are going stay that way all week. I still haven't seen a low under 70. I also haven't seen a morning humidity under 95%. It feels like August instead of mid-September.

End of weather rant.

Not the OP but 5k's make me more anxious than any other race. 3.1 miles at your limit and you just know that for at least two of those miles you will experience painful suffering unlike any other race. The last 6-8 miles of a marathon are mentally and physically exhausting but at no time do you feel as if your heart will explode.

QOTD: With my recent trip on my mind, which of these two situations are cause more discomfort to your feet:
1. A run lasting 3+ hours
2. Being on your feet from rope drop to the park closing

ATTQOTD: Its option 2 for me by a lot! I just dont get it, I kinda do, but man, my feet kill me at the parks and do not hurt at all when I run. After day one its all down hill. As soon as I start moving around the next morning its like I am right back where I left off. I also had what I was told was the "Disney Rash". By the last day or so it was already almost gone which I thought to be strange, but oh well.

Being on my feet in the parks. I don't do rope drop to close but generally walking around and standing a lot is way more uncomfortable than running.

This does need an explanation. And @Sanchez is on the money.

This is going to make it sound like I consider myself an Olympic-class athlete. I have no illusions of that. I'm just a middle-aged-guy with a strong (self-)competitive streak.

For 5Ks (really all races except Disney races), there is no such thing as a fun run for me. I'm usually trying to PR, and if not a PR, still have an aggressive time goal based on my condition, weather, course, etc.

Marathons and half-marathons, while physically challenging, have a mental/management aspect to them. You have 26 checkpoints and 4+ hours to make adjustments.

5Ks are almost all physical. A good 5K is a near death experience for me. I say that only half-kidding. I figure if they don't try to usher me to the medical tent, I left something on the course. Again, this makes me sound like some tough guy, trust me, I'm not. Stupid guy would be more accurate.

It's like the difference between an Indy race and a drag race.

I was afraid I lost the ability to find that sharp edge and ride it to the finish line.

I was pleased with the results, so maybe I haven't lost it.

I guess I see your points but with a 5k at least you know it's over between 20-40 minutes depending on the person for the most part. For a marathon you are talking a couple of hours of pain. :sad2::worship:

It is very interesting. As far as I know, the land was never owned by Disney. When Walt was buying land for the Florida Project, there was one parcel where the owner refused to sell. That parcel is where Bonnet Creek is now.
