The Expo is only two weeks away.
You’ll be fine. Don’t be shy telling your therapist about what to focus on and what to stay away from. After my last LR, I would have paid big bucks for a shoulder and foot massage.I’ve been lurking for awhile, but this is my first time posting because I’ve got a massage question. I’m running the marathon and it’s my first, and my sister booked me a Swedish massage for that afternoon as a Christmas present. I’ve read online that you’re not really supposed to get a massage after on the same day as a big race because it’s too much for your muscles.
But I don’t really have the timing flexibility to change the date. But I’m not terribly fast, and since it’s a Swedish massage and not, like, deep tissue, might I be okay? (I should add that I’ve never gotten a massage before either). Does anyone have any experience with getting one after a marathon? Did you survive?
I knew there was a reason I’m supposed to be celebrating today.
Now, if only Santa could delay Splash Mountain’s refurb until after MW.
One marathon weekend I did a massage with DW after the half before the full. I think DW did a more traditional relaxing massage and I did the sports, deep tissue (ow, ow, ow ) massage. I think I felt pretty good afterwards, but during it was pretty rough. I've also gotten post race massages at other races and usually they feel pretty good. I don't think you have anything to worry about.I’ve been lurking for awhile, but this is my first time posting because I’ve got a massage question.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Another nervous first-time marathoner question here. We're arriving on Tuesday the 7th before the marathon. How much should I be limiting park time before the race? We've got a pretty hardcore day planned on the 9th (DD's birthday, she wanted to do DHS for ROTR then AK after-hours). I'm planning on taking things pretty easy on the 11th. Should I be planning to sneak in a few easy runs during the week or will park time be enough on my feet? We're doing a split stay between BRV and BLT, so I've got good running options.
I have same problem with my 3rd and 4th toes curling under and bruising nail. I finally got a regimen of keeping nail really short, filing the top edge of nail as smooth as I can and then applying glide liberally so that it will slide and not blister/bruise/tear off nail. Been working really well for last 3months...keeping my fingers (?toes) crossed that it works for the full.
Unless you are going for a BQ or something, enjoy the parks and have fun! I would probably try to get in a couple of 2-3 milers (maybe on Weds and Friday) just to help shake things out.Merry Christmas everyone!

I was at MCM too - that weather was AWFUL! Congrats on the weight loss - you are going to love Dopey!Ok, I've been lurking for quite a while. I'm excited for my first Dopey (and Run Disney event). I lost my passion for running in 2018. I found that passion again at the beginning of 2019 and committed myself to completing this challenge. Running is such an important outlet for me. 5 half marathons completed this year, including 2 PRs last month. I ran in the monsoon that was the Marine Corps Marathon. I've lost nearly 40 pounds since last Christmas. And I just completed a solid Mock Dopey this past weekend. I'm ready to make the trip in 2 weeks!
Sorry you have been injured - go out there, give it your best - it may go better than you think! Enjoy the time at Disney with your family.My participation has been down because I have been equal parts lazy/terrible and injured, haven’t trained to the level I want, and I’m embarrassed. My flat feet have caught up to me and I have had really bad heel spurs for much of the year but it’s no excuse. I haven’t lived up to any of my goals and this Dopey is going to be a personal disaster. I’m going to have a great vacation with my family and get out there and give it my best shot, but I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m not in a good headspace about my fitness; added to my social anxiety in the best of times I’m not sure I’d bring much to the celebration that Marathon Weekend should be so I’ll probably avoid any meetups.
I used Instacart last year (Publix) and found it affordable and easy. Garden Grocer is great but you do need to order in advance. A case of water, and extra water to fill your bottles, will end up saving you $$$ in the long run given what Disney charges for a bottle of water!Also I’m staying at Pop...should I bring bagels/snacks from home or should I plan on taking an Uber to Walmart my first day?
I have packing on the brain today. I’m trying to come up with my packing list. What are some items you like to bring to race weekends that I might be forgetting? I’ve got the basics down like clothes, shoes and fuel. Also I’m staying at Pop...should I bring bagels/snacks from home or should I plan on taking an Uber to Walmart my first day?

I have used amazon prime now twice. It was super easy. Bell service delivered everything to my room.I have packing on the brain today. I’m trying to come up with my packing list.

I am glad someone else is nervous about their first marathon too! I followed my training plan, but I am still worried about not finishing. I am trying to think positive thoughts and visualize myself finishing, but it is still panicking me!Another nervous first-time marathoner question here.
