I had trouble sharing links with my wife but we ended up just switching devices and resigning in (a bit old school). I registered on her phone and she did hers on my laptop. We are in for MW #7 Me: Dopey #4 Mrs: 5K and 10K. I think I have now figured out the link sharing: Here is a 17 minute...

March Miles = 111 Pulled a hamstring playing basketball mid March then reinjured it 3 times trying to play thru the injury. Playoffs are this week so hoop season will be ending soon. Running was much slower and thus shorter distance this month. Hope to get back on track in April. January Miles...

February Miles = 105 Short month + Cold weather + No races planned + Little motivation to run more than 5 miles = A typical low mileage February for me. I did hit 72 consecutive months (6 year milestone) on my 100 mile per month streak. It is hard to believe that February 2018 was the last...

Here we go again… January Miles = 116 Two weeks in FL, a shortened Dopey (I didn’t “make up” the additional 6 miles), marathon recovery, crappy Northeast January weather (3 dreadmill runs this month ugh!!), and no upcoming races to train for made this month challenging…but I still managed to...

Yep. Thanks to disboards.com. I had read on here that the only way to get in the hot seat was to randomly push the buttons as fast as you could before even reading the question and just hope you happen to put the answers in the correct order and that is what I did. As for how I did in the Hot...

I am one of those people who goes out for training runs in any weather - even torrential rain. So you can say I was well trained for the rain. But I was at mile 16 when it started to pour which is the part of the course heading out of AK and travels directly into the NW wind. I was getting...

I have so much respect for people that worked so hard to get here. You registered, you trained, you got your azzz to the starting line and you gave 100%. It’s a bummer getting swept but you should be proud on what you accomplished!! :)

Thoughts: Still think it should have been canceled but whatever. Play the cards you are dealt, right? That being said besides the weird vibe which many of you pointed out, the race itself was perfectly fine and I had a great time. I didn’t mind the short course and I could care less about making...

I was on my bus before 6:30. Just pulling into Contemporary now after stopping at Ft Wilderness and WL. And it’s now raining here!!

Another thought, if a runner was in corral A and starts in the first wave and runs say…an 8 minute mile, would he/she be able to finish the 7.2 before the last wave starts and run the course twice?

Sorry for my harsh comment earlier but this is the worst of both worlds. Weather happens. Just cancel the race and give refunds (or don’t, I don’t really care about the $$). Let people run the full on Sunday and get swept for those who want to run 13.1. Or another idea, give people the option...

I’m sorry, this is really dumb. Just cancel and give refunds. The shortened course is ridiculous. And to all of you doing the extra 6 miles, c’mon. I took it easy today and walked well over 13.1 miles doing the 10K and then going to Epcot for dinner. Does that mean I completed a half marathon...

weather.com (not the most reliable site, I know) has removed any references to thunderstorms and is saying “steady rain” in the morning. I’ll take any good sign…

Thanks for the suggestion. They were already incorporated. I am planning to wear compression sleeves and roll them down to be Herc’s wrist guards. But with temps in the 40’s and a north wind, I don’t think arm sleeves will be enough. For the 5K, it looks like rain but at least temps will be in...

I think we are gonna switch our 5K and 10K also - more due to cold Friday AM as neither of our 5K or 10K costume will do well in rain. But our Herc/Meg outfits are both sleeveless. I originally hoped we could survive the corral with mylars until we got moving but temps in the 40’s will be a...

December Miles = 148 I did a 2023 summary earlier in this thread. 2023 was a slightly down year mileage-wise but number of runs were in line from previous years. January Miles = 113 February Miles = 113 March Miles = 116 April Miles = 115 May Miles = 123 June Miles = 112 July Miles = 119...

Dopey bib # 201XX — Half POT 1:37:02

For me, 2023 started in 2022 when a registration glitch shut me out from getting into Dopey 2023. I ended up registering for “just” the WDW marathon. Since this was the first time I was running a marathon without a half marathon the day before, and since I was turning 55 in 2023, I thought this...

November Miles = 110 There was no way I could top my fellow Dis’ers awesome NYC Marathon recaps, so I did not bother. I will just sum it up by saying it was an amazing experience running the largest race in the world in the world’s most amazing city. I had a great time and would do it again in...
