    The Running Thread--2024

    Just got my rejection too. Similar to @MissLiss279, it wouldn't have been my best year to run, but having tried since 2018 unsuccessfully (including attempts for the guaranteed admission virtuals) , it'd be nice for ME to be the one to say no. Oh well, at least I have Berlin this year.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Yes I am! Maybe I'll see you there. Unless it's pouring rain I tend to hang out on the bleachers pre-race.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: Favorite non-Disney races - Broad Street 10 Miler is probably my favorite non-Disney race. Fast point to point course, great crowd support, very easy access/exit for me, nice freebies at the afterparty and the temperature tends to be my definition of perfect racing weather (though it has...

    Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2024

    In other news, I'm surprised the half is still open. It's been over 18 minutes. And whoops, didn't realize we're past the proof of time deadline and didn't put in a time and now it's greyed out.

    *unprintable word* uncertain travel plans. I just registered for the Challenge. Fomo got to me and this is the first time the Challenge reopened.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I mean, if we were doing all-time favorites a lot of my votes would be different! Journey Into Imagination would take 1st for EPCOT (not only for the ride, but the original ImageWorks as well), Splash Mountain for Magic Kingdom, Great Movie Ride for MGM. I chose to vote instead on current...

    Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert

    Definitely an introvert. I need a lot of solo recharge time and do much better in small group/one on one settings. I second Bree's sentiment of feeling like I'm not the best at small talk, and often kicking myself later for some of the things I say. I've always maintained that I'm a better...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    So the Springtime Surprise Splash, did anyone do it last year? (Was it even offered last year?) Any thoughts on whether it was worth it considering it's more expensive than a day pass? I don't usually go to the waterparks, but I did the DVC moonlight magic there once and it was a lot of fun...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Maybe another SAFD question should be "What food/drink motivates you to run?" I love seeing everyone's local treats! Incidentally, really cool to hear about Paczki as I'd never heard of them before, but they look very similar to the Bombaloni you can get in my neck of the woods! My favorite is...

    Hotel recommendations for DL races

    I liked Castle Inn. It was quiet, had free parking, a mini fridge, microwave and mini coffee maker. Also didn't break the bank.

    They restocked it later, because they were fully stocked when group 8 got to enter the expo.

    It's rare, but it was reported that there was sell outs during Platinum Club rundisney for this past Wine and Dine weekend for some of the Figment pins.

    Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2024

    Challenge sold out 4 minutes before my link got through. As I said, I'd been on the fence, so I'm not terribly upset. I was briefly toying though with how it would be nice to have perfect status for one of the races. I'll see as we get closer to race day what crops up (and if my other travel...

    Joined 1 minute late due to a meeting running over. My queue just went down to 58 minutes. If I don't get in, it's fine as I've been going back and forth about registering.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: Running for me is about the destination, not the journey. As so many others have said, I don't "love" running. I need to actively trick my brain and keep it engaged with other things (audiobooks, podcasts, tv shows, games on phone) in order to keep moving forward during training runs...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I like OKW, it's my home resort. It's usually pretty easy to book until the 7 month mark (frankly, until Aulani and Saratoga started being sold it was easy to book right up until the 2 week mark, but I digress....) You have to walk to the main building for buses (which if you're in the...
