previous years (2 full, 2 half) I wished I had worn them --- I ran alone in
those...
Lani, I saw people with headphones (in-ear, not the big ones) this last year, but no-one pulled for it. If I had known it would be ok, I would have taken mine,...
Cheryl Great! I am on track to enter both races myself. I don't think that I'll enter the 5k that is unless my spousal unit runs it. If she does run the 5k...
Sorry went long on this one.... Oh yes, the perennial question concerning headphones. For everyone's information, the race director has the obligation under ...
It sounds like something I have to do:) Howver I think I better wait till after my first full on the 15th:) ... If you have worries, there is no better way to...
I am trying to train by myself for the marathon, but my training isn't progressing. Either I get pain in my legs or I am thirsty or some other mental excuse...

Col.. I have not run the Disney 10k but I seem to recall from chatter in previous years that Disney does not run transporation for the event. Plan on having...
Thanks Charles i will most likely get a cab and use disney buses as i have never driven in the US in all the times ive been over. I suppose it makes sense with...

Great job Charles!!! I ran the CMM also and I started in corral 20 - wish that I had known that you were running it- we could have run together. I PR'd this...
One thing I found that helped years was to take a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick board put you heels on it and raise you toes and forefoot as high as possible. This...
