The best thing about being an adult is that at some point, you figure out it doesn't matter what people think - you get to be YOU and to be okay with it. I'm a little older than you and am just figuring this out.
You're doing something good for yourself - getting into shape, participating in a race at a place you love. You're getting ready to do something that most people wouldn't dream of ever trying. Anyone who makes fun of you for that needs to get a life.
Absolutely. People are really horrible sometimes. Why in heaven's name would somebody be vested in your failure? How awful!!
Are you effing kidding? What jerks they are.
If you want, I can run with you and I'll help you through every step of the way until you finish.
Stop worrying about them, and stop worrying about finishing. It's YOUR race. No one else's. YOURS. And I will be there every step of the way, as well as everyone else here.
I found this board (and my running challenge) at one of the saddest, darkest points in my life - and it has brought me so much joy and happiness (the races too). Life is too short too let people or things take away from the happy.
Huge ditto to the bolded! Disney races are so much fun and the positive energy is amazing. Don't let anybody make you feel bad or negative. You will have a fantastic time and a great run!!
For everyone going to the Expo Friday morning what time are you aiming to get there? Does anybody plan on showing up before 10 and if so how much before 10? I don't want to get there too early, but I don't want to get there and be stuck in huge lines. Oh the decisions to be made!
We are planning to get there a little before 10. I'm sure there will be a crowd, but hoping we can get moved through pretty quickly. We are planning to hit merchandise first (we really only want a couple of things) and then pick up our bibs. It means a little back and forth but that's okay.
