    Best way to do Parks and Run

    Have low expectations. Like….really low. 100% have a rest day. Decide how important fireworks/evening shows are to you. Are you ok with bailing on a park if half your group is cranky and tired? Definitely use G+/ILL for must-do attractions. The 5k is an easier day to make a park day, and the...

    Re: the airline thing. They were talking about it on the news last night and it said they had 6mo to implement it.

    For the HALF MARATHONERS: time to choose! Please pick one idea (you can add a second, but with fewer people to vote, it might be closer, so just one vote will be easier.) We will leave this open for voting through the weekend. old timey sports costumes. (Think of the Goofy Learns Football...

    One was “If marathons were easy they’d be called your mom” which is not terrible. And I legitimately laughed when my brain was able to process it. A previous favorite was when Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian were a thing said “If Pete and Kim can be a couple, YOU can finish this race!”

    I'm trying to figure out an easy-to-run-in way to pull of a casey's corner CM costume, and failing.

    I saw pics of the tumble monkeys! So cute! But waaaay more involved than I'd want to run a half in.

    There’s not that much overlap (2 or 3 based on the poll, and we know there are few missing from there that commented) which is why the flag idea is remaining an option. I’ve been trying to brainstorm another distance-friendly idea, but am coming up empty so far.

    ahhh. I even pulled up the the 'How to Play Football' short to see if those were the team names, but those are Taxidermy Tech and Anthropology A&M.

    This. Re-input your codes. If your bib number was less than 5 digits long, you need to put a 0 at the beginning of it (as in, if your bib was 1234 you'd need to enter race-code-stuff-01234.)

    Can I just say that I'm so excited that the number of people interested in participating just keeps inching up? If interest translates into participating we are going to have one awesome group picture! The Epcot flag shirt was the winner of voting for the 10k group (by several votes) with the...

    😂😂 saw this posted on social media. It’s the Nike billboard from the London marathon. And it’s sooooo fitting.

    I just realized that I'm going to run into a shoe situation mid-summer, if not sooner. Someone remind me that running in plated shoes is BAD for every run. And that I shouldn't do it. Because I love the bounce of the supercomp trainers I bought last summer. I'm seriously considering buying...

    My favorites are not particularly appropriate. And I'm not sure how the CMs let the girl bring the one sign into Epcot. ETA: they were hilarious. And I loved them.

    SAFD: it was feels-like 39 for my run this morning so I’m going to have to think back to last year 🤣 I too have a T+D chart that tells me how much to slow down (I don’t always listen to it well.) I try to be really mindful of electrolytes and hydration. But work acclimates me soooo well...

    Yeah, I figure I'm slow enough that I can probably start "running" him at about 6mo for the 3mi and shorter runs. He's already doing zoomies around the backyard at 11 weeks old. And these guys are bred to run all day chasing birds. Soooo yeah. I'm taking all the sweet snuggles and focus I can...

    Weekly wrap up: longest week ever edition. Monday: Speedwork (6 x 400m) feels like it was sooooo long ago. Good thing I did a post about it because I do not remember much about that run at this point. Already discussed in a previous post. Tuesday: 3mi recovery run on the treadmill. 1%...
