QOTD: Not running related, but after the big news was released... When are you going to go see Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studious?!?!?!?!
ATTQOTD: Best case at this moment is June 2020.
Marathon Weekend 2020 and again for Star Wars Rival Run 2020.
Interesting that they're opening Galaxy's Edge in phases. I wouldn't go until it was fully open but I'm thinking maybe next Spring or Fall? January if I give in to the FOMO and end up there for marathon weekend.
Give yourself to the Dark Side.
Or
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
Unclear at the moment, TBH.
I was once very convinced that I would first experience Galaxy's Edge in
Disneyland this summer. But with the phased opening, I don't want to spend the money for a partial experience. Now factor in two Disney World race weekends next year and it's possible that I will not see Galaxy's Edge at all until Marathon Weekend 2020. But I will see it then.
ATTQOTD: I’m local to WDW and I have no clue when I’ll see it. I have no desire to stand in line for hours on end. My feet hurt and back hurt just thinking about it.
Good thing my brain has plenty of practice telling my feet, legs, and back to deal with it during the marathon this year. Because my brain is insanely excited. My sister and I concluded that I am more excited for Galaxy's Edge than her 16 month old nephew was excited to meet Lightning McQueen. And he bounced up and down in my arms making car noises when he realized he was in line to see Lightning McQueen.
Would like to go during a RunDisney event so either a W & D weekend or perhaps when Disneyland has running events again. Is that still in the works ?
I hope so. I'm really hoping to run through Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland in January 2021 for the return of the Star Wars Half Marathon The Light Side. But that's me hoping.
The question is who is interested in trying one out?
ATTQOTD: No alcohol for me.
I don’t drink alcohol so I’m out. It would have to be 26.2 Diet Mountain Dew for me.
Now a 262. Mountain Dew I would certainly try.
I’m committing myself to the 2020 WDW marathon and I’m shopping around for the right training program. Does anyone have any suggestions for marathon training programs I should look into? Ideally I’d love to be able to download an app on my phone to keep track of the daily workouts.
Whatever you decide, I think being completely committed to your plan is the biggest key. Yes, you will miss days, but when you are committed to your plan, those missed days don't cause too much damage.
ATTQOTD: We have an awesome beer store in my (college) town, I wonder if they will have it. I might have to look for this next time I am in there.
I'm an alum of BYU, which recently celebrated being named the #1 Stone Cold Sober School in America for the 21st consecutive year. How does BYU celebrate that? The BYU Creamery released a special mint brownie chocolate milk flavor. The mint brownies at BYU are very beloved.
There's a lot of options for different plans out there and the best thing is really to look at the options and see what fits your schedule and lifestyle the best.
Ultimately, I think this is the best answer as to which plan someone should choose for any given race. I've learned that there are so many different training plans that will lead a runner to success, but you need to choose the one that truly works best for you. I've used different plans over the years. The plan I used for many years helped me finish many a race and ultimately helped me truly enjoy running, but for the marathon, I tried something new and different that worked perfectly for me. But I also note that I never would have tried a different plan had I not learned so much from the Galloway plans that I followed for years.
