My husband LOVES the Fresh Foam Zante. He likes that the toebox is a little "looser" for his toes to move around.

ATTQOTD:
Race in thick jeans OR An itchy wool sweater I can eventually tie the sweater around my waist, right?
Free entries+flights to races for a year OR Free shoes for a year (you can stockpile!) Childcare poses a problem for out of town races. A girl can never have too many shoes either.
Harassed by bees OR Chased by an angry Chihuahua That's what they make pepper spray for.
Race through WDW with no characters OR Race at home with Disney characters Being at Disney is always better than not being there.
GPS runs out of batteries pre-race OR Drop your headphones in the porta-potty I don't race in headphones, but there's still no recovering anything dropped in a porta-potty. I can always use the course clocks if necessary.
Bonus Dole Whip Aid Stations OR Bonus Mickey Waffle Aid Stations. There's no wrong answer to this one.
“We’ve run out of free food” OR “We’ve run out of free beer” I don't like beer, so this is a no brainer for me.
Uphill course with perfect weather OR Downhill course and 100+F heat Heat always has more of an impact than hills for me.
Last place in the Olympics vs First place at every small local race this year. I would always be an Olympian which is too cool.
Straight out and back marathon with no scenery OR 26+ one mile laps I can't handle laps. It's the reason I never run past my house
Only Winter training for a Spring race OR Summer training for a Fall race. Summer training brings more speed to the fall race.
Blink in every picture but your form looks perfect OR Face looks great but form is schlumpy mess Only child, need-to-be-the-center-of-attention syndrome FTW
Handed only money at every aid station OR get charged for water&fuel at every aid station I carry my fuel
WDW triathlon 2018 or WDW marathon team relay 2018 Umm, not gonna swim in Bay Lake
Wear a red sparkle skirt OR A pink sparkle visor I can't even handle my long hair swishing, so I have to tie it up in a bun using a ridiculous amount of hair bands. I think the swishing of the skirt would drive me insane.

I'm another one without a real running hero per se --I've been running since the 5th grade, thought with non-running periods mixed in! Now, I run for myself -- both for health, and for "me" time -- which is inspired by my 2 DDs (ages 5 and 1)

Some really good questions this week....
ATTQOTDs: Form: Focus on shoulders and if my head is up or down. When running with others I don't look at the ground as much. When by myself, I tend to look at the ground right in front of me....
Hero: Don't really have one for running. I run mainly for myself and my future health.
and the toughest questions of the week!

I love this question, it's like my teenage daughter was asking it haha
ATTQOTD: “WOULD YOU RATHER”: DIS-RUNNER EDITION!
Race in thick jeans OR An itchy wool sweater - I like the "stretchy" jeans that are out these days, could almost make this work. Itchy, no way.
Free entries+flights to races for a year OR Free shoes for a year (you can stockpile!) - Close to $2000 this past year for 2016 WDW Marathon, Boston Ironman and Dopey 2017. Plenty of other races thrown in there as well and triathlons are $$$. Don't even need flights to make this one a no-brainer for me.
Harassed by bees OR Chased by an angry Chihuahua - easier to punt a Chihuahua than swat bees
Race through WDW with no characters OR Race at home with Disney characters - I love the characters, but it is the place itself that is magical. And flat
GPS runs out of batteries pre-race OR Drop your headphones in the porta-potty - no biggie, I never race with music
Bonus Dole Whip Aid Stations OR Bonus Mickey Waffle Aid Stations - easy one...nice cool Dole Whip, yes please!
“We’ve run out of free food” OR “We’ve run out of free beer” - Is this a real question?
Uphill course with perfect weather OR Downhill course and 100+F heat - I hate the heat. Hills aren't all that bad.
Last place in the Olympics vs First place at every small local race this year - Hard to top being an Olympian...you carry that honour for life.
Straight out and back marathon with no scenery OR 26+ one mile laps - I'll take the drag race Too much turning otherwise
Only Winter training for a Spring race OR Summer training for a Fall race - I guess the race you're training for might make a difference, but in general I really enjoy winter running. Summer training gets in the way of triathlon season.
Blink in every picture but your form looks perfect OR Face looks great but form is schlumpy mess - I'm not paying MarathonFoto either way
Handed only money at every aid station OR get charged for water&fuel at every aid station - I can carry my own fuel
WDW triathlon 2018 or WDW marathon team relay 2018 - OMG you went there.
Wear a red sparkle skirt OR A pink sparkle visor - are you trying to pit me and @FFigawi against each other in some sort of bizzare Sparkle death match? I'll say the skirt since I have worn that one too...and it probably means I'm doing a Disney race!

Harassed by bees OR Chased by an angry Chihuahua. (Allergic to bees)
Race through WDW with no characters OR Race at home with Disney characters. (Time in WDW, is still time in WDW.)
GPS runs out of batteries pre-race OR Drop your headphones in the porta-potty. (Don't use a GPS, but need my podcasts and music)
Bonus Dole Whip Aid Stations OR Bonus Mickey Waffle Aid Stations. (Can't eat gluten...)
"We’ve run out of free food” OR “We’ve run out of free beer” (gluten again, but I also don't drink alcohol much anyway)
Uphill course with perfect weather OR Downhill course and 100+F heat. (I like uphill)
Last place in the Olympics vs First place at every small local race this year. (Even just to be there...)
Straight out and back marathon with no scenery OR 26+ one mile laps. (Both sound horrible!! I am choosing door number 3; which I hope is a new car!)
Only Winter training for a Spring race OR Summer training for a Fall race. (I like running outdoors year round, but weighing a Michigan summer run verse a Michigan winter run, no contest.)
Blink in every picture but your form looks perfect OR Face looks great but form is schlumpy mess. (It would be the first time I had perfect form).
Handed only money at every aid station OR get charged for water&fuel at every aid station. (I am going to stockpile the money for future WDW trips!)
WDW triathlon 2018 or WDW marathon team relay 2018. (I have a ridiculous fear of deep water, no triathlons for me).
Wear a red sparkle skirt OR A pink sparkle visor. (Really I am good with either, but folicly challenged, so a regular ball cap is better for me.)
Good luck to those racing this weekend!

Me too! I can swim but if it's open water I think I would panic.

Was very touched reading all of yesterday's QOTD answers. I selfishly run for myself, but loved that the little guy was tagging along in the womb when I started getting into 5+ mi runs.
Race in thick jeans OR An itchy wool sweater - I think I've run in jeans before, not as horrific as I thought it would be.
Free entries+flights to races for a year OR Free shoes for a year (you can stockpile!) - is there a race in Bora Bora/Maldives/Patagonia? I'll take Disney Paris!
Harassed by bees OR Chased by an angry Chihuahua - assuming no bites/stings!
Race through WDW with no characters OR Race at home with Disney characters - was going with Disney characters initially, but realize I didn't miss not stopping for pictures last time, but running through the parks is so cool.
GPS runs out of batteries pre-race OR Drop your headphones in the porta-potty - could do without music for 5k, but any longer I need music to drown out my wheezing and negative thoughts
Bonus Dole Whip Aid Stations OR Bonus Mickey Waffle Aid Stations - duh!
“We’ve run out of free food” OR “We’ve run out of free beer” - double duh!
Uphill course with perfect weather OR Downhill course and 100+F heat - hmmm, tough... I hate uphills but can't run in 100+ heat
Last place in the Olympics vs First place at every small local race this year - Olympics!
Straight out and back marathon with no scenery OR 26+ one mile laps
Only Winter training for a Spring race OR Summer training for a Fall race
Blink in every picture but your form looks perfect OR Face looks great but form is schlumpy mess - agree with cropping! ha!
Handed only money at every aid station OR get charged for water&fuel at every aid station - money!!!
WDW triathlon 2018 or WDW marathon team relay 2018 - can't ride a bike and can barely swim, so marathon relay it is!
Wear a red sparkle skirt OR A pink sparkle visor - wouldn't mind trying out one of these sparkle skirts everyone raves about and if it worked for @FFigawi ...

As with others my answers in Bold:
Race in thick jeans OR An itchy wool sweater-Jeans are unequivocally the worst. Cue Jean Ralphio.
Free entries+flights to races for a year OR Free shoes for a year (you can stockpile!)-I'd really explore the space on this one. I could do some damage with an unlimited shoe budget for a year.
Harassed by bees OR Chased by an angry Chihuahua-Is there anyone who would prefer the bees?
Race through WDW with no characters OR Race at home with Disney characters-I don't stop for a lot of character pics. The experience would be cool even without the characters for me.
GPS runs out of batteries pre-race OR Drop your headphones in the porta-potty-I know the length of the race. I don't want anything to do with any type of porta-potty incident even if it is easily
Bonus Dole Whip Aid Stations OR Bonus Mickey Waffle Aid Stations-Allow me to be blasphemous for a moment. I don't get the appeal of the Mickey Waffle. They're just waffles. I mean, waffles are good and all but...
“We’ve run out of free food” OR “We’ve run out of free beer”-Purely on the basis that I don't drink alcohol
Uphill course with perfect weather OR Downhill course and 100+F heat-These are not good choices
Last place in the Olympics vs First place at every small local race this year-Neither is even remotely plausible.
Straight out and back marathon with no scenery OR 26+ one mile laps-These read pretty much the same
Only Winter training for a Spring race OR Summer training for a Fall race-I'm equally bad at both
Blink in every picture but your form looks perfect OR Face looks great but form is schlumpy mess-This is basically my reality. Well, not the face looks great part
Handed only money at every aid station OR get charged for water&fuel at every aid station
WDW triathlon 2018 or WDW marathon team relay 2018-Bikes don't like me
Wear a red sparkle skirt OR A pink sparkle visor-Seems like it would be quite comfortable.
