    Since I have the AP, it is basically "free" right?

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2025 (April 3-6)

    I was all set to write this race weekend off because of the heat....and then I noticed the dates in 2025 are two weeks before my current annual pass expires. 🤔

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Same thing with me. I booked the ONLY non-stops available on the 7th and 14th, not my prefered times but at least it is done. I was hoping to have the first flight out of my local airport rather than waiting later in the day when delays can begin to stack up. Plus, I'm missing valuable hours on...

    I use Lock Laces in all my running shoes and I love them. They are currently $9 on Amazon, not a bad expense to give them a test ride. I like the fact that I can cinch them down before a run with a quick tug at the top, or I can loosen them up in various spots along the top of my foot and leave...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD (MAFD?): I was always a casual Disney fan growing up but it increased when my kids were born when we started watching more of the movies together and then my fandom increased to obsession levels after our first visit with the kids. As for running. I have Adult On-set Running Disease. I...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Thank you for the thread.... I am already having serious FOMO and it isn't even expo day yet. I have an unspoken agreement with DW about only doing one RunDisney event per year and this year I choose Spring Surprise. I have already planted the seeds about doing Dopey again for 2025, so unless...

    As running goes...2023 was a down year mileage wise and with the number of races. My first event was Princess Fairy Tale Challenge which was nice to run with my friend who I hadn't seen in awhile and doing the 5k with our wives. I kept my running going with a trip to Philadelphia to see the...

    I added a pair of Endorphin Pros last year because I was able to get them with a coupon code. I'm not certain someone of my running ability and age can fully benefit form the advantages of the carbon plate nor am I certain that it is a good idea for my body to be running in that type of shoe...

    Glad yours was "fun", I have other descriptions for the New York 70.3 (69.6) I did the week prior in the middle of a tropical storm. Swim (which they shortened to ~750-800 meters) I would use "scary". Definitely would not have been able to complete the full 1.2 miles facing the swells we had to...

    I used to run in Guides, now I primarily use Saucony Triumphs. I have never had an issue with the soles wearing away. I do find that I lose cushioning and feel it in my shins after ~300 miles with both Guides and Triumphs. But I enjoying buying new running shoes and will recycle my run shoes to...

    July: Run 56.1 miles Bike 158 miles Swim 14,382 meters Clearly I've been spending my time working on my weakness. I imagine my August and September run miles will start to creep back up as I work back up to 1/2 marathon distance by the end of September.

    Men's costume ideas

    I've never really done full on costumes for the races....more like bounding type run outfits. For the two Dopey's I have run I have matched my shorts and top to either the character on the medal for each race or the challenge character. For my Dark Side Challenge I wore some Star Wars themed run...

    ATTQOTD: If we are only looking at organized races, probably NYC. Once I'm past my fall 1/2 Ironman I reserve the right to change my answer to Hawaii 70.3. If we are allowed non-organized bucket list items, 1) Single day Presidential Traverse in NH (this may be in the works for July) 2) Grand...
