Count me in on the gummy/jelly bean/must chew. Also, even though I love chocolate, I want no part of it while running.

@Keels where are you seeing that weather, because that's way better than what I see. lol

Yeah, Weather.com was showing high 80s for Sunday just the other day, so I was pleasantly surprised when it showed that. I'll take it hot for Wednesday-Friday, no question.

That was me -- I was so confused because Accuweather has it about 5-8 degrees warmer. I'll take the cooler option.

We need some pixie dust for some random cold front to come through.

Is the tracking only for 10k & Half Marathons?

Thank you

Yes. The 5K bibs do not have timing chips, so no way to track using the bibs.

Ok! Thank you so much!

I will never forget the first time I ran the WDW marathon and they handed my chocolate at like mile 21. Everybody had talked about how good that chocolate tasted, but the minute I put it in my mouth, I almost threw up! Never again.

Starting to get super nervous about this race, training is done but the doubts are creeping in You would think with this being my 3rd half this wouldn't happen anymore!

Completely! I'm driving my family nuts. I know my corral, I've got my waiver printed and signed, going to buy my park tickets at AAA today, have everything that I can set aside to be packed already set aside, dining reservations have been booked and tinkered with. I have nothing else to do until next Friday morning except wait.

I've been mentally checked out for at least a week. My husband leaves for California on Sunday, so the only thing that will keep me sane is my BRF coming to visit for the weekend tomorrow! Six days until I fly out!

Stopped by the Disneyland Resort after a doctor's appointment yesterday for lunch and they have the street closure signs in place. Getting close!

 

[Keels]

WHY AM I NOT THERE RIGHT NOW.

 

[courtneybeth]

We're going for breakfast on Saturday morning (Carnation Cafe) - so I'll let you guys know if I see anything in regards to signs or set up areas. I wish it was this weekend - gah, just ready to get my toes on the pavement and run this thing.

I think I'm going to pick up my tiny stuffed dumbo on Saturday as well - may as well do it before there's a run on them next weekend

Starting to get super nervous about this race, training is done but the doubts are creeping in You would think with this being my 3rd half this wouldn't happen anymore!

Nerves are normal - don't get lost in your head. Truthfully I am nervous about this race, but Disney races for some reason make me more nervous than any other race I've done. I think it's the crowd issue. We'll meet up in Corral H and party before we go out the chute You got this!

Yep. Mentally checked out and ready for Labor Day weekend --- come on week. Go faster!

Yes! I arrive in California tomorrow! So. Stoked.

Welcome! Our weather isn't too bad right now - it's cooled off a bit in the last few days. You're going to have such a great time while you're here

I am pretty worthless at work, my thoughts are completely on my first trip to DLR! Fly out next Thursday
