    Car rental vs Minnie Van, etc?

    Buses start before the expo opens. The only time Uber is worth it is for day 1 of the expo, because a line forms early. But then you can just take the resort bus back. Friday there won't be a crowd at the expo since its been open a day. Uber to the expo is really cheap- like 6-8. Do not get...

    Club runDisney

    This. I spend a lot on run disney events and weekends (I go to pretty much every one). But this "club" has zero value to me. I have enough jackets, don't like virtuals, already have a good corral, and can register early with an AP. What is the point in me buying this? The money spent here...

    Great job! I almost signed up last minute too. The snow coverage was so weird. In town got ZERO (which I was totally fine with). But some ofthe northern burbs got smacked. Way to get it done.

    ATTQOTD: It depends. I have multiple routes from my house, ranging from 3 to 16 miles. I don't do loops. I also run with area run groups (I'm in downtown Atlanta) 3 times a week. If I'm doing speedwork, I go to the track near Turner Field (it was the 1996 Olympic training track and was...

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    During marathon weekend I ran the 5K twice, once from the front of A and a second time from C (no we didn't take two medals). I just looked and my garmin says I started the second round (from towards the back but not the very back) of C at 6:27 AM. So about an hour from when A started. The...

    January: 225 miles 31/31 days run I ran the hot chocolate 15K in Atlanta yesterday too. Great weather this year (we've had some doozies). Finished it out with another 5 miles, which with my warm up and the race gave me a 15 mile training run.

    ATTQOTD: I would set it up like a true loyalty program, but (because its still Disney) with a fee to join. One fee to join for a year, one fee for 3 years and a nominal fee to have your Disney race history grandfathered in. Say 100 for a year, 250 for 3, or something. And an extra 100 to get...

    I loved the detroit marathon! One thing I noticed was that people with hydration packs were getting stopped. People without had no issue. I had my passport JIC but didn't need it. So if you don't absolutely need a pack, go without. There are plenty of water stops.

    My first race ever will be the Rival Run Half Marathon

    Welcome! We all started somewhere. My first race was the JG 13.1 in December of 2015. My biggest mistake for that one was that I brought with me two cliff blocks. Not two packs, two blocks. :rotfl: Some advice: 1. Follow some sort of plan. You don't need to train to the full distance...

    Castaway Cay Challenge spectator question

    The start for the 5k that is part of the challenge is in a different place than the one for the regular 5k, much farther from the ship. @bumbershoot is right, its at least a half mile.

    I started running at 37, I'm 41 now. I feel my recovery times are getting quicker and quicker the more I run. I can run the day after a marathon (easy of course) and be ok. I've been lucky (knock on wood) to avoid serious injury (there have been a few tweaks) so far.
