has anyone done all the WDW challenges in one year??
QOTD: I don't think we have answered this one here before but what was your first race? What was the distance? Where was it? Anything else special about it?
But that was like the best relay to watch from what I remember as the throwers seemed to have a lot of fun with it
My first race was the Monument Ave. 10k in Richmomd. One fond memory is standing in my corral before the start and looking across to the other lanes of the street and watching the winner finish.
So, bad news for me. My hip has been hurting some. Started a few weeks ago as just a little nagging pain, then I took off a week (admittedly, only because work travel made it hard to run). Well, it got worse (though never really that bad), but yesterday I was limping all day. Went to ortho urgent care, and I'm looking at either a hip flexor strain or tendinitis or a femoral neck stress fracture. [Where is my sobbing emoji?] I can't get in for an MRI until next Wednesday, and obviously no running until we know for sure it's not a fracture. I'm just devastated and going crazy worried that I'm out.
Just needed to express that to some folks who I knew would understand. Want to help me convince myself it's not broken? Lol.

1. How do you help yourself overcome the mental hurdles when you feel like you're tired and the goal race seems like it'll be unbearably long?
Hey all - I'm in need of a little pre-marathon weekend pep talk.
1. How do you help yourself overcome the mental hurdles when you feel like you're tired and the goal race seems like it'll be unbearably long?
2. How do you deal with having to do a runDisney race weekend solo? I'm hoping to meet up with some various running group people, and one of my friends might be able to come cheer me on for the marathon, but otherwise I think I'll be going solo for the weekend, which is making me feel like it won't be a very fun trip. The accomplishment of finishing the Goofy Challenge just seems less exciting without someone there to share it with me.
