    The Running Thread--2024

    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...

    The Running Thread—2023

    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...

    ATTQOTD: As a creature of habit and over-planner, the whole idea of this race gives me anxiety. That being said, the extremeness of it is intriguing and I'd be thrilled to even get close to completing one lap.

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2023 (Nov. 2-5, 2023)

    I know I'm in the minority, but I'm just not into Figment. I kinda find him irritating. This weekend is a skip for me.

    Princess Weekend 2023 (Feb 23-26, 2023)

    Anything beyond 10k I like to bring my own fuel to supplement on course water and powerade. I just started using an Orangemud PVF V2.0. It holds a small collapsible bottle (filling with Tailwind) to your chest, with a pocket for phone and a couple small places to cinch some gels, plus it gives...

    48.6 at 48

    Completely agree. I did my first Dopey in the year I was turning 50 and then turned that mileage build up into a 50 miler later that spring. I figured I had already done 48.6, why not just do it all in one day? Plus with only one early wake up call instead of four, it should be easier...
