What a beautiful post! Running in the rain is exhilarating, and I'm so happy it made you happy. Hurray!!Ran 4 tonight in the rain which made me feel really happy. Like I’d committed and did it! My 6 year old daughter said, I hope you win that race Mommy because you are working really hard.
Thanks! I live In AZ where the rain is rare. I easily could have waited until today when the weather was better, but that involved a 5AM wake up. I decided the rain was better and definitely felt strong for doing so!What a beautiful post! Running in the rain is exhilarating, and I'm so happy it made you happy. Hurray!!

This made my heart happy. What a fantastic compliment to receive from your daughter. I'd put that quote down on a post-it note and look at it every day to remind yourself why you're doing what you're doing.
The last long run I finished, I got home to applause from my husband. That made me feel ridiculous and awesome at the same time.
I haven't been feeling the best lately, and I'm trying to be kind with myself as I readjust my training schedule. It's rough to find a balance between physically ready and mentally rested, I think. My muscles feel just fine after I finish long runs, but my mind and spirit feels so tired because of outside stress.
Awww that’s so sweet of your husband!This made my heart happy. What a fantastic compliment to receive from your daughter. I'd put that quote down on a post-it note and look at it every day to remind yourself why you're doing what you're doing.

I am such a worrier and like to have all possible situations planned. I am doing the challenge this year and started to wonder after the half where do you pick up your challenge medal? Here is hoping I complete the half b/c my training hasn't been going as planned. I do like reading that there are others who are having the same training luck as I am. Thank you everyone its good to hear.
Yes. You will see a lot of people wearing their medals in the parks after the races.Do people actually walk around the parks with their medals on race weekend? Is this really common or just a handful of people?
I do! That's one of the perks of a Disney race weekend in my mindDo people actually walk around the parks with their medals on race weekend? Is this really common or just a handful of people?

I stayed a week after the race and I still wore my medals around and saw lots of people doing the same. You worked hard for this... celebrate it all day every day for as long as you can!!!
This will be my 5th year running this Half but first time staying at a monorail resort! We're staying at the Contemporary, so do I need to take the monorail in the morning or is there a bus? My husband will have our 5 month old so the Contemporary is perfect for him to walk over to MK in the morning!
The heat can definitely make a difference. You can and should slow down if it gets hot. It is entirely possible you will encounter heat and humidity on race day, so be mindful of that.
Will the one mile fun run be four laps around the track? Or is there more of a "scenic route" around the ESPN center?

Its been a few years since I ran Princess do they still hand out the little net back packs at the finish?
Where would you dinner the day before?
The net ones were the year before I did the half so I missed it. The next year it was a boring pink one. Last year there was nothing.

Sounds like you want pasta. I personally go offsite to Sweet Tomatoes. We also hit Olive Garden last year. For previous race weekends I’ve gotten the build your own pasta at both Port Orleans Riverside and at AOA food courts.
