    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    Someone convince me to do one more long run next weekend. I haven’t done one since 10 miles on 1/21 although I have been running consistently since then and improving my pace on shorter runs. The long runs are just so tedious for me, I need someone to guilt trip me into doing one last one.

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    I will definitely try the audiobook next long run! Maybe it will help keep my mind going.

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    Yes! I have done a 10 miler and a 15k trail run race, and I enjoyed them both. However when it's just me and 9-10 miles? I hate it. I am bored and music sucks and I don't like having to load myself up like a camel because I live in FL so I HAVE to have enough fluids, etc. After 8 miles I am over...

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    I need to make some more running friends! I am on a local running group on Facebook, but they run around 6 a.m. on the weekend and I'm not getting up that early to run unless there's a medal involved.

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    This will be my first half, so my goal is just to finish and I am fairly confident I could do that now which might be adding to my training blah. I am glad to hear you have successfully only gone up to 10 miles before a half! I usually run two 4 mile runs during week with my long runs on the...

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    I was inspired by all of the Dopey posts this weekend, so I did 9 miles today. I still hate long training runs. I am not sure I will making it past 12 miles before the half because I get so bored with 9 that even the idea of running 12 on my own annoys me right now. This is why I will never...

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    I have gotten incredible off track with my long runs. I did a 10k at the end of October and planned to pick up on the Galloway plan after that long run distance and...then got lazy. I did a 9.5 trail run at the beginning of December, but no real long distance since then, so now I am both not...

    Question for all the annual pass holders?

    The AP and FL resident discounts have sucked this year. The first year we weren't able to get a good deal in October for my daughter's annual "birthday" weekend. I am hoping this means deals will be better at other points in the coming year or I guess our days of spending long weekends on...

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    I did a short 3 mile run today as my "long run". I did a 10 mile race at the beginning of August, but now I am doing a training program on runkeeper to try to speed up my times for a (hopefully) POT 10K at the end of October. It is so hot and humid right now in Orlando I am struggling with...

    Caribbean Beach is a Dump!

    But there is no good deal unless you've already booked it in advance and are now second-guessing. People who are looking to book now are not getting a deal of any kind, they are getting a moderate that is under massive construction for the same price as all of the other moderates.

    Hotel for preschoolers

    My 5 yo daughter has stayed at and loved POFQ, Coronado, All Star Music, and Carribean Beach. Why? Because they are all at Disney, they all have a huge pool, and spending the night at ANY hotel is exciting at that age. Kids love any hotels, so save money for extra souvenirs by going value if you...

    Caribbean Beach is a Dump!

    I don't find the price that reduced. If I look for next Saturday the standard room rate with an AP pass is only $10 less than that for POR. We stayed at Caribbean Beach for the first time in June, aware of the construction, and while I don't feel it was a "dump", I am shocked Disney isn't...

    All-Star Resort's love them or hate them?

    We stayed at Music once, and I liked the resort just fine, but I did not like the room. The double beds killed me, and I did notice more noise from outside than I do at the mods, but I was also trying to fall asleep early for a runDisney race so I am not sure it would have bothered me if I was...

    Reason to be fearful?

    Forget alligators and amoeba for a moment and that water is still filthy from ferries and boats and tourists dropping trash, etc. You could not pay me to put my hand in it let alone risk my entire body being submerged. There are probably 100 places you could go tubing in Central Florida, for...

    Three options--Coronado, Riverside or AK?

    I have not stayed at AK yet, but it would be my first choice due to the theme. Otherwise I would choose POR over Coronado every time!

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    I am here now, and they are not working on the Centertown part at the moment, but there is still work going on at the more distant section. The work wasn't too distracting at the pool yesterday, though. The music and splashing muffles it.

    Summer of Heroes - June 2017 Lifestyle/Weight loss Challenge

    I am doing the Princess half in February! So I am trying to do some speed improvements now to get a good proof of time. Although it's so hot and humid in FL I am even slower at the moment!
