The Running Thread - 2018

@roxymama - So sorry to hear of your loss.

@roxymama So sorry to hear this! Hugs! This is so hard, I lost my mom in 2011. We are thinking of you today.

Hi all, I have a lot of thread to catch up on. It's been a rough week. I lost my mom last night and I'm thankful for everyone on the board who wished her well over the last few years.
I will get back to journaling when I'm ready. Everyone hug your people (and pets) today. And go for a run because that's what my mom would have told me to do.

Praying for you @roxymama. Sending lots of hugs your way.

QOTD: Do you wear your running shoes for anything other than running while they are still in your rotation as running shoes or your only pair?

ATTQOTD: No, I wear them exclusively for running. Put them on before I go out (or drive to the place I will be running) and take them off when I get back.

I only have one pair of running shoes at a time. I have wide feet with high arches and a high instep, so I don't usually have a lot of selection with shoes. I've followed some of the conversation regarding having different pairs of shoes, but I really don't feel like it's necessary. I've also never had any trouble breaking in new shoes. Once I find a pair of shoes that doesn't physically squish my feet in some way, I'm pretty much good to go.

Oh, and @LSUlakes - I dont remember if you guys are staying on property or not, but if you are on property and have any interest in toy story land (which I highly recommend checking out), do emh at DHS. We went during the week, and weekends might be different, but we got all of Toy Story Land done before the park opened to day guests. We showed up at 6 and were in TSL before 7 both days.

We are going to experience TSL on Friday afternoon. We have FP+ for RNR, TOT, and Slinky. Parks open to 12:30 PM and we are planning on getting into the park around 5-6 PM. Looks like crowds die down a good bit and a afternoon shower would also help us get the other two rides in TSL. With limited park days for this trip, I was more wanted to see the park at night more so than during the day. Our FP+ for Slinky is 9:10 PM. We are staying on property, at Pop. The final decision came down to nicer hotel room or purchasing Disney After Hours for Saturday. We voted for the 3 extra hours in MK. Thanks for the tip though! It's likely to be our game plan when we bring the kids in September.

Expect to wait a little bit for Aliens, but with FP+ for Slinky you should be able to get it all done. Toy Story Mania lines aren't bad, and you may even be able to get it as a 4th FP+ after you use your Slinky FP+.
My one regret from my trip is that we didn't get to see TSL at night. Too much rain. So if you only have time to do it once, night is probably a good call.
Good call on the After Hours - I'm hoping I can eventually get a chance to do that. I'm excited to hear what you think of it!

@roxymama Sorry for your loss. Life changes when you lose the unconditional love of your mom. Blessings to you and your family.

 

[Sleepless Knight]

@roxymama, My heart goes out to you. Please take solace and comfort in the assurance that you will see your mom again and that you will both know and recognize each other. May you find peace and comfort in the ways she blessed your life now and the assurance that you will know her in the life to come.

Could y'all pray or think good thoughts for me this morning? I am having a "come to Jesus" meeting with my assistant. I have let things slide too long because I hate confrontation so now it has to be dealt with.

Hope that everything worked out for you yesterday and that the DIS good vibes softened the impact. No need to respond since this is between you and your assistant, but hoping it ended on a positive note!

Nope, only for running.

Hoping for the best, but either way I imagine we will enjoy ourselves!

I know way better video and stuff will exist out there of both of the new Toy Story Land and Disney After Hours, but I usually upload a lot of stuff to snap chat for anyone who wants to look me up I can be found a falgoustjerry. IT's my plan to go live (Facebook) for our first ride on SDD on Friday 9:10 PM ish... Thats if wifi is working and I figure out how to properly work it. lol.

ATTQOTD: I have yet to need to throw out any running shirts.

I use my running shoes exclusively for running when not at Disney World, but the last two years I had to put a pair of running shoes into park shoes service when the park shoes unexpectedly fell apart on me while in the parks.

2. It seems park hours are being released for the days after the marathon and I noticed that MK is closing at 8PM nearly every night, while other parks are open till 9. Why the early night for MK?

Park hours will fluctuate between now and then MK does tend to close early in January though.

Yeah, I would follow historic calendars of 8:00 or 8:15 HEA with a 9pm park close for MK.

Thank you everyone. I'm glad I have this community.

As a gal who has a New Balance sneaker addiction (mostly Disney’s fault!), and out of the dozen or so that I have, I do have one pair I use JUST for running. My Fresh Foam Boracay’s...love them. I have them added on my Runkeeper app so I know how many miles are put on them and how long they will last. All the other NB’s I have are for walks, daily use, and romping around the parks!
