On a plane FULL of runners :) On property in ~4 hours!

Great job 5k-ers! Enjoying the pix :)

SAFD: - the next four days are gonna draaaaag ;) - Saturday will be a good "beta-test" for the Sunday run - I'm going to enjoy MANY of the Sunday's 26.2 miles

Doing both ;) Taking the half easy and hoping the conditions will allow racing on the full (I have "B" and "C" goals if things go wonky).

Made it to "Taperville" -- I'm better prepared for the Goofy than I was for the Dopey ;)

Finished my Goofy Sim #2 (both on the mill). :: high fives :: to all ;)

Halfway through my Goofy Sim! (six days until taper) SAFD #1: one of my fav memories was my wife and I's second trip to WDW (as a couple). I thought she was completely immune to the Disney magic (she wasn't grumpy, but not inspired either). We were walking out of HWS at night, she looked back...

SAFD Race goals (doing the Goofy): a) half: get a "course PR." I haven't run the Disney Half since 2014 and I think I can beat that time and still have something left for the full. b) full: 1) if I'm feeling good go after a PR 2) if I'm feeling less good, go after course PR or 3) take it easy...

You are participating in a "multi-day endurance event" -- no one need know about the mouse ears ;)

Assuming you can run a 41 minute 5k, your "back of the envelope" time estimate is 3:15:00. That's a long time to run without any carbs. You might consider seeing how you handle powerade (me no likee). You could do a training run and take 8 ounces in every 30 minutes and see "what comes up!" If...

SAFD: I started running in college. I never ran "long" and I never raced. It wasn't until my mid 40s that my brother challenged me to run the Disney Half Marathon. I crashed and burned, but completed the course. I'm signed up for the Goofy because the Mickey sold out ;) Reasons to run: -- mood...

Here’s a calculation for the maximum carbohydrates you could hope to digest during a race. http://www.saltyrunning.com/peppers-guide-to-marathon-race-day-nutrition/

SAFD: recovering from ankle pain (bursitis?). This interfered with two weeks of training but today's 16 miler went fine. 40 days until the start of the Goofy! :: tick tick tick ::

I'm in the club... are they mailing them out or will I get it at packet pickup?!?!?

3.5 hours until the WDW Marathon Weekend 5K! Have a great race everyone! :: can't believe its here! ::

My cousin lost 20 lbs using I.F. -- I think she did 5:2. I can't say I've gotten a lot of positive response from family regarding my eating (the don't like that I'm vegan, they don't understand I.F.). I'll generally shared what I'm doing if asked... but I'm not gonna get into a debate ...

61 hours until takeoff :) I'm living vicariously through the onsite postings. What the hell, lets check the weather for Sunday morning... again...

SQOTD: Yep! Well... I executed the plan I laid out (I'm trying an experiment this cycle, we'll see if this was a smart idea :) ). I guess I'll pack for anything from 25F to 75F :: shrug :: I need to update my playlists, find some a toss shirt, pack, make a bunch of lists... #itsAllGood

I ran the half in 2010 (sleet in the face as I entered tomorrow land). An interesting story to share, nothing I need to repeat. My racedots are in! My racedots are in! (Will test them on tomorrow's run...woo hoo!).
