I got myself and my kid a 5 K with dragonmaster on Sunday. https://p2p.onecause.com/2023wdwmarathon emailed me Monday morning to say they also had 5Ks. However, I think one of them said they had to have the rD links out to runners today.

Perhaps too late to be of use, but we have stopped in Cranberry, PA, just north of Pittsburgh on east-west trips (not Disney). There were several hotels, restaurants, and it seemed plenty safe for us.

While there is an actual DOT regulation, Wikipedia covers it well "The maximum permissible vertical angle, or grade, along the highway is determined from terrain and design speed, with up to 6% generally allowed in mountainous areas, 5% in rolling terrain, and 4% on level terrain. An additional...

I agree on the frustration of Cinci! We start a little earlier and a little farther north than you and we have stuck to the I-75 route. We have found the Hampton Inn in Williamsburg, KY to be adequate, the one in Corbin to be a bit nicer but with thinner walls. With 6 boys the option of...

Kids are changed into PJs a couple of hours before we stop, an overnight bag with toiletries, adult PJs and a change of clothes for everyone comes in. Any electronics come in, as well as the cooler in the hope that there is an actual functional minifridge to store things and a freezer to...

WOW! Given the rain, snow, freeze pattern I have given up the temperature badasser. I wish you future success taunting the weather!

EZ Pass works along I-75 except in GA. That is supposed to be integrated at some point but was not as of December 2021.

I will keep an eye out for those! I generally feel old and crochety when I see people running or swimming and think "I have zero time to make sure I cover all of my skin for that!" I have turned my children into old people as one now requests a long sleeve rash guard as it gets us to the pool...

1. Run without a watch or headphones? without headphones. When I zone out and forget if I am on lap 1 or 3 the time/distance feature is helpful. Also, I almost always am squeezing a run in before need to get to work, a meeting, or pick up kids so knowing when I am slow and need to cut it short...

I am going to keep complaining for at least the first mile! Maybe more if it is windy.

Re: The Michigan The route that was used for this is the most well shoveled and well lit place to run in Ann Arbor but this Tuesday it is also better on a treadmill.

and hide them with the extra applesauce pouches or they too will be reallocated for kid snacks.

I do applaud your village for prioritizing the hills, and wish that was the case here. The not salting for environmental/cost/lazy reasons is a large part of why I run the same 3 miles around campus all the time- it is the only place snow is plowed/shoveled early and it is regularly salted. It...

You are also at the mercy of whom ever is working at the border, which could significantly add to your transit time. Friends crossing Windsor to Detroit for work using the NEXUS lanes regularly complain the time is inconsistent and hyperbolically 20% more than pre-pandemic. Hopefully that...

Welcome! It is normal to be a nervous mama, part of the job description! Like all parts of parenting, flexibility is key to road trips in which there will be chaos no one could possibly predict. However, this is totally do-able! While my husband would prefer to drive over night and we have...

(1) YES! (2) Mostly yes. This was hard as work travel resumed and DH had to take care of family business out of state so some of those 'runs' were from one end of DTW to the other or the half mile I could bribe a child to go. (3) Yes, but not by the margin I had hoped (4) Nope. Garmin tells me...

A bit late to recap 2021, but I am going to do it anyhow! First, thank you all for continuing to post. It is lovely to see others do well and to struggle, but a space to read notes that remain positive and helpful is good for my soul. My stretch goal for 2021 was 600 miles and to knock some...

We went a little nuts and drove down and back the week before Christmas, then picked up our passengers and did it again the following week. Stupid? Perhaps. But since it was chilly the first week, we kept telling ourselves the second drive was all for the pool weather, which we took full...

Commiserating with you and hoping expectations of inconvenience are not met. Parents/Grandparents have stated they will be joining us for the Christmas drive. I have similar concerns as I am confident there will be a need to stop for a restroom more for the 70 year old than the 8 year olds...

While I would not make the additional drive for outlet shopping, I can highly recommend the granny apple fries, lines 90% shorter than WDW, and less expensive gasoline the area offers. Legoland was a reasonable distraction from a disappointing Disney experience on a "Florida Cold" day the...
