Great just what I needed to hear. Reinforcement that I can do Goofy or Dopey.....
It's definitely doable! It takes a bit more training, but it's a lot of fun (and that's with the crappy weather we had - I can just imagine it on a good weekend!
)It was in the 40s on Friday for the 5k and then down in the 20s and 30s for the Half (with sleet and snow for added fun) and Full marathons. Runners tend to be a sloshy group around the water tables. I had stopped at one table to pick up a cup and a guy behind me hit an ice-patch and hit me full on in the back. He grabbed my shoulders and we managed to stay upright, though the contact was a bit more intimate than I like to have with a stranger.
In NYC, the water stations have salt on cold days, but this freeze wasn't expected and, I suspect, there isn't a lot of rock salt floating around central Florida, anyway. In fact, the forecast temperature dropped 20 degrees between the time I packed my bag and the time I arrived in Orlando. I had to wash my half marathon clothes and wear them under my marathon clothes to stay somewhat comfortable.I have no complaints about how many flights of stairs I have to run. I'm just grateful to the podcast team for giving me the cruise!Two decks isn't too bad. On the last day of the med cruise I wanted to go up to deck 9 for a ciggie but everyone else was using the elevators so I ran/walked from deck 2 to 9 - and then had to go back down again as everyone was still in the elevators
