Same with Magnolia Ave. in Fort Worth. I'm brought my sticker with me just so I can get pizza on my way home.

ATTQOTD: We don't do early voting here in Alabama (that I am aware of and isn't a mail in ballot), so I will be going after work with the masses. Which will impact my running plans today, but I am going to be a good citizen.

 

[michigandergirl]

I will be voting right after work. I wanted to do it before work, but the line was out the door and I know from past experience that that is a long wait, so after work it is!

 

[Keels]

QOTD: So its not so much a question today but a reminder. Go vote today!

*This is as political as we are going to get on this thread. I do not care who you vote for and why, just go and vote.

I voted early in Texas, but today I'm wearing a hat representing my favorite candidate and will be buying in-flight WiFi so I can watch results on my long flight home.

I voted by mail a couple weeks ago since I'm working at one of our local polling places this afternoon.

I voted early a couple weeks ago.

My husband was working too much for early poll votes and forgot to request the mail in. He isn’t happy about that but we’re still in Disney until Sunday.

ATTQOTD: We live in a rural area. In the past, I've never been more than 4th or 5th in line to vote, no matter what time I went.

Today, I've already gone twice and it's been 50+ people in line, and an hour wait.

Going again this afternoon and toughing it out no matter how long the wait is.

 

[dis_or_dat]

I’ve teared up so many times seeing the long lines at polling stations and the personalized “I Voted” stickers made by children.

Have a Mail-In ballot, but we’re bringing the kids to drop it off at a local polling place so they can participate.

Dang small town life, I just did a quick google and none of the places that are giving out free food have an establishment in my town.

Guess I will just go back to celebrating National Nacho Day today!

How would you feel about being proposed to on mile 16 of a marathon?

Honestly, I would have kept on running.

 

[Dis5150]

ATTQOTD: Went and voted at lunch. Nobody in line at all so quick in and out and back to eat lunch in 15 minutes.

 

[Sleepless Knight]

ATTQOTD: Voted before work. Even had to write in a few candidates as they were only choices between bad and worse.

Seriously, he couldn't have waited until the end?? I would have been livid. Haha.

I'd be shocked since I'm already married!!! (I kid, I kid.)

Honestly, as much as I love trying to get PRs, there's some things that are more important to me and that would be one of them.

Someone got proposed to in Animal Kingdom during one of the races over the weekend. There's pictures on the runDisneyrun FB page.

AT(yesterday's)QOTD: Change of clocks isn't really impacting me too much. I run in the morning.

ATTQOTD: I early voted a couple weeks ago. I can't wait for the election to be over. I'm so tired of all the drama.

You know, I want to agree with this too. But my feels are different. My first marathon, after putting in all that training and work, just to have my boyfriend jump into the middle of it and propose? Like what? This was MY thing and you made me stop FOR YOU? Plus, a finish line picture would have looked WAY BETTER. Just sayin'.... I would have of course said yes and been happy, but when I would re-tell the story there would be resentment in my voice.

Just ask my husband about how I hate that he didn't get down on one knee when he proposed to me because I guess I like to point that out a lot too. /shruuuug

LOL! I agree, plus I would not want all that attention. My husband knew me very well and proposed with just the two of us during a bike ride at our local park with our dog there. He was the only audience I needed. He did get down on one knee though, so continue to harp your Brad about not doing that!

ATTQOTD: For those of us who are not USA citizens and thus have no voting to do, today is Nachos Day so enjoy!

Great. Now I want nachos.

I went and voted this morning. I was disappointed that 75% of the voters were white males. Nothing against you in that group, but no wonder most of our politicians are also that demographic when that's who is voting. I'm really hoping it was just bad timing on my part and the voter demographics will be a better representation of my community once all is said and done.
