I'm just glad I survived the full. Way too hot, I was an hour slower than last year. Didn't really find mile 20 that spectacular. Raceway was OK but I could really do without ever running through WWOS again (didn't like it at TOT either).

Just got my first Disney tattoo. It brings back fond memories from my childhood. Mr Toad Tattoo by iveyam, on Flickr

So I got 3/4 of us registered. Ironically, it is my 4.5 yr old that didn't get registered because they couldn't match the pass information. I bet they have her birthday wrong in the system. Can't get through on the phone of course. Think there is any chance that they would be nice enough to...

Judging by this and your photo thread we must have been very close to each other st least part of the way. This was my first marathon. Did it with DH. His longest training run was a whole 3 miles so the strategy was to start slow and stay slow. Worked great until mile 23/24 when the heat...

I did a North Face trail race today in Pine Mountain, GA. I am glad we passed up the half and just did the 10K. It was brutal (for me). Our trails in FL are not nearly as rocky and we definitely don't have the same kind of elevation changes. There were a few nasty climbs that involved a lot...

We called ahead and just went down to pick up the food.

Yes, you can actually order anything off the menu to go. We did this during our last stay at AKL. No issues at all.

This year was significantly better. It only took me about 15 minutes to hobble from the finish line, through bag check and the beer line and into the party. I am slow (2:57 ish) but I still had almost a full two hours to stuff my face post race. Last year I had to stand in the bag check line...

4421 for me!

Congrats! I remember the panic when I had to do comps for my MPH and the great wave of relief when I saw I made a passing score. Definitely cause for celebration.

I don't mind the wet skin spray if I am doing something active where I am going to get super sweaty. However, I prefer the neutrogena ultra touch as it does not have a heavy, greasy feel. I usually get the 100 and reapply about every two hours. Sprays don't last as long as lotions so, between...

I'll be honest. This is one ride I was going to wait to take my daughter on because it is very loud and jerky. However, she is obsessed with dinosaurs and wanted to ride it today. I was a little hesitant, even more so when she started to get nervous at the load area. But we forged on. She...
