    ATTQOTD: I don't have a journal here. Closest thing I have is an excel spreadsheet that I set up all my training plans in, that way I can cut and paste if I am repeating a plan I've done before. I also keep track of month and yearly mileage there. I almost made my goal last year, off by 41...

    ATTQOTD: I have been lucky with multiple brands of sports bras. I think good fit can come at all price points if I take the time to be sure I’m getting the right size, which is different in different brands and styles. For me price difference has more to do with longevity. I have had $15 C9...

    Marathon Weekend 2019

    I'll echo @cavepig and say old school Epcot. The original Figment ride, World of Motion, Wonders of Life and my personal favorite, Horizons. I also miss the old Illuminations. There are still certain songs that were part of that like "Rhapsody in Blue" and I immediately think of that show...

    ATTQOTD: I have on again off again issues with chafing, but only in the heat and humidity, not usually in cold runs. Must be less sweat and/or the cooler drier air keeping my clothes drier. I only wear capris, tight shorts or tights, never lose shorts. I got a second color of my favorite...

    ATTQOTD: add me to the BW to DHS to Swolphin to YC/BC to BW list. I’ll repeat the loop as often as needed to get that days mileage. Our trip last June I did it many times as I was ramping up my training for my fall full. We were there for a week for a family member’s wedding. I had a “Rent...

    Marathon Weekend 2019

    I think you are ok giving yourself a few extra minutes to improve by, not sure I'd go with 15 minutes because that is a significant min/mile difference. I was a touch generous in my estimate for this years race after some discussion in the 2018 thread. My POT 10 miler converted to 4:44:55...

    I usually have a better idea about my goals for the year than I do this year. Generally I have a goal race in the spring and fall, and I usually throw a 10k in somewhere. I was feeling pretty burnt out in December and told myself this year I’d be less about races and more about getting back to...

    It seems the closures/openings are very inconsistent with this storm. Towns right next to each other with totally different calls. Worcester called it at 8:00 last night. But they call it often. Too much mileage on very hill narrow roads to clear. I hope you feel better soon! 3/5 of us came...

    ATTQOTD: I got a medal rack for Christmas:). Currently all the medals are in my nightstand drawer, but I hope to get the rack up soon. We were away for 2 weeks just after Christmas, and have been busy since. Just yesterday I took them all out, to see how I might place them and I realized it...

    Marathon Weekend 2019

    I've been to WDW at least once, often twice, a year since my first trips a kid in 1986. I've had a few years with 3 trips, and I lived in Orlando for my first year of college at UCF. I'd guess I have 45-50 trips total? My family members are all Disney people, my parents first joined DVC in...

    ATTQOTD: I’m right there with you on Figment. I really enjoyed the original, but totally dislike the current version. My daughter still likes it, so we were going to do it last week while there for marathon weekend. Usually we slip it in between fast passes. Well, when we were nearby it had...

    ATTQOTD: I’ve mainly done Higdon plans. The first few times I followed them pretty close, but since then I’ve tweaked them a bit with help from my PT who is also a coach. They’ve worked well for me, I’ve always felt prepared, but I think I’m ready to change it up a bit. Glad to hear you...

    I didn’t see either of them either. I would have stopped for Mulan. I know I finished hours after @croach thanks to the character group texts, guessing they needed a break. Don’t think I saw Snow White either, but I think I was reading texts getting the location of my margarita pick up from...

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    I did the 10k and Full and it was fabulous:). I’ve always liked the 10k course, so wanted to do it. Love Minnie, so that was a big plus. Sleeping in on Saturday was lovely. Then on to the full which had been a goal for me for a long time. I do want to do Dopey once sometime in the future...

    Ditto to this. It’s DC Rainmaker. And I too love my 235 :)

    RUMOR: Future runDisney race weekends...California and worldwide.

    Yes! Never thought of this possibility, but that would be awesome!

    Photopass question. In past experience I found the download process took a while, so I'd rather only do it once. For those who've done it before, how many days post race events can I expect them to stop adding photos? I have had new ones each day, including today. By Friday should they all...

    ATTQOTD: At least initially, I have had very different experiences with my two marathons. In October, I hung around post race for about 30 minutes, then had to get in a car for 5 hours. Every time I did have to get up I was very sore and stiff. But I woke up feeling better than expected on...
