Just as a comment on getting a PoT... If you're like me who lives in Florida, it's actually really difficult. There are almost zero running events in the summer due to the heat, and 10k's are not very common from what I've seen in the relative area, and often times, they're not until the fall...

Random question: Does anyone not get hungry when doing all these runs? I wasn't terribly interested in eating the night after running the half, and didn't even want to eat after the marathon. I did eat anyways, and the food went down fine, but even today I'm not terribly famished.

Dear Body, You don't have to wake up at 2am to drive to Disney anymore. Please go back to sleep. Love, Self

26.87 for me.

Finished my second Dopey. Shaved 55 mins off my previous marathon (from 6:39 to 5:47). Felt great up until mile 20/21. Started walking a lot more, and felt.very cold whole running. The heat was brutal (even to this Floridian). I very rarely run in the heat like this, so i was not used to it. As...

Had a bit of a rough half today. Towards the end I thought I was hitting mile 12, when it really was only mile 11. Psychologically that messed me up. Also, I get that Disney races are for everyone, and I feel I’ve been gracious with all the people that are walking and take up the entire road...

So if I'm not an annual pass holder, is it a safe assumption I should buy any park tickets I want for race weekend now to avoid being locked out after the races?

In for Dopey.

wait time of 8 mins for me

I'd just make sure they're aware of proper safety issues (i.e. when something bad is happening to them healthwise, how to hydrate properly etc). Make sure your contact info is on their bib, and remember that they really won't be alone. There will be a huge amount of people there, so if something...

He did the "RUNNERS SET GOOOO!!!" stuff for the 5k for sure, and I want to say the 10K as well. They did the Donald/Mickey voices for the half/full, but I'm not sure if that's how they did things in past years. He wasn't on the stage though at all for the full, which I was a bit surprised about.

Not only that, but I think they could actually turn it into a VERY useful document on safety as well. They could provide tips on hydration, run foods, as well as what to do if you get an injury on the course, or symptoms of dehydration, cramping, or whatnot so you know if you're in trouble or...

I just did Dopey this weekend, and it was my first Marathon. I honestly would say that assuming that you've done a half marathon before (and I would strongly suggest doing a few halfs before the actual weekend), Dopey is within reasonable reach for a first time marathoner. I honestly don't feel...

delete this.

Did my first (and most likely) last Dopey. This was also my first marathon. I highly doubt I'll do another one, not because of Disney, but simply because the marathon I think wasn't really enjoyable for me and was too grueling. In terms of things about running, and things Disney can't fix: 1)As...

I'm staying at an off site hotel, so no worries there.

Is there any reason/advantage to running with your magic band on in terms of "added experiences/conveniences"? If it's not going to aid/assist with stuff during the race, I'll just leave it in my hotel room, since I was going to head back there to shower after my races before heading back to the...

Out of curiosity, if I don't want to be placed in the very last corral/wave, what time would I need to report? I have a 10 miler under my belt at around 1:58, and my recent half at the Darkside was 3:20. Since I live in Florida, and we're starting to get into the hot season, the number of 10...

You're an idiot. But that's OK, because so am I. Is it bad that my order total came out just about $666?

Also, are any of the little extra trinkets and other stuff they offer actually worth getting?
