I should probably carry my own sign during the race w/ both of these on it. I don’t know what to do, but my right pinky toe is a hot mess. :crazy2:

Happy New Year’s Eve! How is everyone's training going? Are we all tapering? Feeling good and ready to rock in less than two weeks? Training was going OK-ish. Now, not so much. Got 20 miles in last Sunday, and haven’t ran since then. Tried to run on Saturday, but my ankles were not having it...

@lhermiston Username: Kattybelle First name: Kat Corral: E 10K: 11:30-12:30 Full: Anywhere from 12:30-14:30 depending on my ankle Character stops: Yes (10K = as many as possible; Full = some)

I’m down for the 10K fuel stop. :D Not sure if my sis will stop w/ me. I want to make it to HH, but not sure if my +3 will tag along. If there are pre-race meet ups: 10K = maybe Full = definitely We’ll be leaving before DATW on Monday.

I’m in E, as expected.

SAFD: I’m hoping that I’ll be able to stop for at least one pic in each park for the full. I’m super slow, though, and Saturday’s 18 miles in the humidity/rain was not fun. :crazy2: So now that reality is setting in, I’m worried about even finishing. If Cogsworth or Oogie Boogie are out, then...

That’s awesome! :cake: I reminded DH last night that my bday was exactly one month away, & that I was going to start celebrating, lol. :cool1:

:thumbsup2 I’ll have to remember to actually eat something more substantial than Sport Beans before the race or else risk passing out before reaching the finish line. :faint: :rotfl:

I was out of town at a conference last week, so trying to catch up here. @lahobbs4 I’m so sorry for your loss. :hug: @Dis_Yoda Yikes! I hope your DH is Ok! That is so scary. :( Goals: My only goal is to have fun! My sis will join me for the 10K, so I plan on taking that way easy (& maybe...

SAFD: Still trying to figure out pre-race nutrition. Usually for a long training run, I’ll have a cup of coffee (w/ creamer) at least an hour before I head out. If I’m hungry, then I might have an Eggo waffle or toast. If not, then just a couple of sport beans & some water. I’ve been carrying a...

Ugh, the weather is way more volatile this morning than it was yesterday. We’ve had storms all night, and there’s a long line of them to the west of us. The sky was an ominous shade of yellow/orange just before sunrise, but now it’s super dark.

I’m drinking ginger tumeric tea right now. :oops: Felt like I needed a little extra rest this week to recover from last week’s 16 miler. :crazy2: Was supposed to do 12 today, but only did a little over 4 since it was raining a little this morning. Hope to do as close to 12 as I can do tomorrow...

SAFD: Whether I’m w/ DH or my sister, we tend to go to Disney Springs during each trip. DH will only go to the parks sparingly, but he does like DS for the variety of food options. My sister & I love to hit up Sprinkles during race weekends for BOGO cupcakes. DH & I tried Homecomin’ and the...

Oof...managed to complete 16 miles this morning & they were rough. The weather wasn’t too bad, as it was somewhat cool (mid-50s), but it was super humid. :crazy2: Currently on my living room floor trying to stretch. Not sure if I’m going to make it back up. :o Hope everyone has a great day...

Happy Thanksgiving! So glad I was able to get in 8 miles this morning with beautiful weather. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

This probably won’t apply if you’re just going for rope drop, but I had a BOG PPO breakfast the morning of this year’s marathon. We stayed at Pop. The bus dropped us off at TTC, which I was not expecting. This was my first experience w/ marathon weekend, and it hadn’t occurred to me that runners...

Vicariously living through everyone’s FP plans. I’m in indecison limbo of whether to skip the parks completely or get an AP, lol. Same here! :eek:

So sorry you are in the boot! Wishing you a quick recovery!

Just got back from a short-ish run. Yay for cooler weather! :-) I’ve worn compression sleeves before, but they bothered the top of my achilles, so I switched to knee high compression socks. I wore compression socks for the half, but my ankles were already irritated from the standing around...

This week has been such a blur w/ the end of DST. This is the first time that I’ve had to get right back into training mode following W&D. I didn’t get my first run in until Thursday b/c my ankles were still a bit sore from all the standing before the races. They weren’t too bad after the half...
