Given the 12+ hour days that I'll be working for 2+ weeks leading up to the big deadline one day before I leave, I fear that I'm going to forget something important. Like my race clothes. Or camera. Or magic band. Or clothing in general.
It's not a real Disney trip unless you stay up packing into the wee hours of the night before your flight.

So yeah, I'm packing early.
Those are great!Going simple with the costumes this time. I just finished these headbands.

That's great you could get out, hopefully you'll get back somewhat to feeling good for the races.Went for my first run in a while today to test how my foot felt. IT felt ok for four miles so thats good! Now to try to build my mileage back up as much as I can. This stress fracture really cramped my style!
Those are great!

So, last night I had a vacation race dream. I ran the 5k and nothing was Star Wars themed, the mile markers were just round circles, no characters on course, no Star Wars music, nothing, but afterwards there were these weird little setups you could line up for and hope to see a character but the lines kept turning and I never got to anyone. It was bizarre for sure.
It was posted on Facebook and is on the USATF site. The park time is very very very small. They run past both AK and DHS without going in them.
Yeah, its been determined that is not the course and someone put it up as a guess.I know I'm late to the party but where was it posted on Facebook? This wouldn't make any sense, it would require them to close down MORE major roads which I'm sure is something they would like to avoid if possible. I'll be super upset if this is the actual course, but I think this is someone's idea of a joke to cause us all to freak out.
Training check-in!
How's everyone doing?
Training plan called for 12.5 this weekend so I ran a local half instead, because why not go an extra mile and get a medal for it?! I PR'd by 5 minutes and change, and came in right between my two time goals. I hit all of my splits perfectly from 1-7 and then there was a really great 200+ feet of elevation gain in miles 8 and 9. Going up means going down as well though, so I made up a little bit of time there. The finish line was at the top of a giant freaking hill too (like, I hit that hill at like 12.7 miles!), so I lost a little bit more time there. A goal was 2:29 and B goal was 2:35, with a previous PR of 2:39. I finished in 2:33. Considering the elevation, I am really happy with my time. I have a half in May that is net downhill, so I'm feeling great about breaking sub 2:30 there.
Now that is out of the way, all I'm going to be thinking about is Dark Side!!!!
Training check-in!
Yes, there are plenty of people who race it without stopping.Question about the Dark Side 5k. My 14 year old son will be running - he knows there are finisher medals for everyone, but no "place" winners (more of a fun run). Our question is, does anyone run this as a race (not stopping for pictures, etc)? He is not really into character meetings, but is just excited to run through the world showcase (his favorite part of Disney).
I really think it could be any day now. Hoping by week's end we see something. And if not, by very early next week.I can't wait to see the real courses. I feel like they always come out about 2-3 weeks before so hopefully we'll see something soon!
They posted on FB looking for "inspiring stories" this morning, but when I got notification they posted I was so excited and then let down when I saw it didn't have to do with any information we're waiting on! LOL!
