Marathon Weekend 2019

[rteetz]

Apparently I didn't post goals originally, but they would have been the following and they remain the same.

1. Complete the Mouse Challenge (10K and Marathon)
2. HAVE FUN!!!
3. Hit up @Keels booze stop during the 10k
3. Enjoy meeting up with Dissers at the Hurricane Hannah meet-up
4. Spectate the half marathon on Main Street
5. Drink beer, get lots of pictures and eat a pretzel and drink more beer during the marathon
6. Meet up with Dissers for DATW and #Pandamonium2019 @rteetz

There's a lot of drinking associated with my plans I notice.

I'm getting so excited and it's getting really close!!!

#6 is fake news

ANY of the anti-inflammatory food items will be beneficial when added to a daily diet but there can be some negative interaction with certain drugs one might be taking.

I have included Turmeric, other spices plus hot peppers and veggies for decades to help reduce inflammation and pain. Five years ago before my first IRONMAN TRIATHLON I went to a "SHOULDER ORTHO" after being told by my regular ortho that my right shoulder was due for a replacement. The new ortho reviewed scan and report and promptly asked, "What pain meds are you taking?" I replied "Nothing but using lots of Turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cummin, cayeene pepper, black pepper....." For myself the stuff works, smells up the kitchen when I cook but DW has gotten used to it.

NOTE, Black pepper, actually the perodine is essential to be included with turmeric to increase the absorption.

SAFD:
My goals stand:
(1) arrive as scheduled [looking at you, Delta] (2) remain calm as the above is unlikely based on previous trips to either North American Disney parks (3) remember that a day at Disney without kids is not something to be guilty about, and that I do not need to do everything as I am going to run the next day (4) Show up for half marathon in enough time to have a cup of coffee and go to the bathroom before the start [previous rD fail] (5) Enjoy the run, enjoy the company if I run with a friend, take in the scenery, enjoy my body being able to keep in motion, reflect on my ability to take time to train for it, to pay for it, to have family to watch my kids [who are likely in bed but having a great weekend] so I can go without them, bask in sunrise and a totally different climate. It is a privileged to be able to run this event. (6) finish the run. No time goals at this point, just go. If I keep myself healthy and maintain the current fitness, I will finish. If I get on board with an actual structured plan, I will be better off! (7) keep moving all day.... at least until bedtime!

If you pass someone muttering 'this is a privilege' during the half, it is likely me. I cannot control weather. I cannot control flights. I can control my attitude, but that also needs a structured training plan.

Hi everyone! We are gearing up for the half!
Has anyone received their waiver yet. Since the system has changed will we still receive a waiver with bib number and will corral info still be posted on the website?
Did anyone do wine and dine? What was the process on the new website?

Thanks everyone!

Yes process is the same with waivers and bibs. Nothing has been released yet for marathon weekend.

My turmeric arrived in the mail yesterday. Here’s to hoping it helps with my inflammation!

 

[PrincessV]

Am I the only one obsessively compulsively checking Run Disney's website several times a day to see if the guide or corral info gets posted?

Nope! I've got a good handle on where the Guide and Tracking ought to show up, but they haven't gone live yet...

Let us know after a week or so if you notice anything. I hope it helps.



Our Volunteer whatever they send out is in the mail today I can see on the USPS dashboard, I'm so excited to volunteer in the 5k.

I didn't post any goals before, but if they had they'd still be the same.

1. Finish Dopey.
2. Do parks with family under own power (currently scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday).
3. Stop for every character stop.
4. Do at least one ride.
5. Enjoy a beer/margarita during the marathon.

Time isn't a factor in any of my goals - the longer it takes me the better. A faster time just means I'm rushing the experience!

The Mouse Challenge. I like it! No Dopey this year for me, just the Mouse!

 

[Smilelea]

Mine aren’t listed because I honestly didn’t know where to begin.

My goals:
- arrive at the start line injury free (and sickness free). I’m finally able to run again even though it’s easy pace and for shorter distances. But, oh, running again feels so good!
- get at least a few character meet & greet photos and just enjoy my first runDisney race. I really only plan to stop for rare characters, but I also plan to live in the moment.
- hopefully meet some Disfriends
- Finish my first half marathon
- Enjoy some new-for-us dining experiences including: Sanaa, Ohana, Artist Point, and 1900 PF Breakfast

There would be me more if you didn't have two number "3s"! You can hit me when you see me in the BC lobby!

I wasn’t posting yet when goals were started. In fact, becoming a poster here would have been a goal, along with finishing all the races under the official cut-off time. I finished Dopey last year, but my marathon time was 7:17. So becoming a contributor here is a work in progress, and still a goal. The time goal went out the window when I crashed my bicycle in late July. The 9 weeks of recovery from a broken hip really messed with my great training plans. So like a previous poster said, just running the races is a privilege. I am encouraged by all of you who plan to be in the back, just having a good time. I thought maybe I was the only one hoping for a 7:00 finish.

Since we are now a month out I figured now would be a good time to put together the resort list where everyone is staying like last year. If you want to be included just post where you are staying and I will add it to the spreadsheet. This usually helps with Dis meets ups and such.

I think I'm the only one who isn't hungry after a marathon. I will drink all the beer, though.

Though you DID eat all of One’s quesadillas after the Marathon in 2017 ...
