Thanks for the responses about the buses. I think we return to the hotel and then hop the bus to the expo. Hope we have enough time to make it to the kid races.
I would have liked the robot more if he looked like this...
LOL
If it's the Mickey Mile, note that the start time is 1.5 hours after the start of the other kids races.
I am at POR too if you want a bus buddy!
I've got about a dozen WISH temporary tattoos that I plan to bring to the POP meet. Would look great on an arm or cheek (facial )

Hi all! 2 random questions
1) After the half, is there a place to get our medals engraved? I got them done for ToT and W&D, but both of those had in park parties afterwards. Do they have them in the parking lot somewhere or not do them?
2) Question about PT...I have gone 2 times now for my knee (no one can decide if its ITBS or runners knee or both). Anyways, the first time was last Thursday. The physical therapist showed me a bunch of stretches to do and how to use a foam roller and told me to do them at home. Great. So I've been doing them everyday. I went back yesterday and they just had me do the same thing again. Nothing new. Is that normal? I feel like I paid $25 for what I had been doing at home!

Most of the work for PT is knowing what to do and doing it. For ITBS the foam roller and ITBS stretches are the key (and not increasing mileage or distance too much and not running on sloped roads). For Runner's Knee it is usually about getting the inflammation down and strengthening your quads. That's about all that really can be done.
It should be easy to distinguish the two. ITBS hurts directly on the exterior side of the knee. Runner's Knee is like under the knee cap. I have had both in the past. If you have ITBS, be very careful at WDW. The roads are highly canted in many places. Always look for where the road is the flattest and try and stay on that line.
