Where is everyone staying for Marathon weekend? I am waiting for the Florida resident rates to be posted. I think it will be around October 15. I REALLY want to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, IF they have a good deal!

It's up in the air right now where I'm staying. I'm trying to figure out some DVC things and waiting for pricing from my travel agent.
On the bright side, my DH is going with me now!!

One more cheerleader for our team.

I LOVE little extra somethings!! Is there anyway we can get them from Zazzle so they can be the tech running shirts?

I'll be at Saratoga Springs, although my wife made me get a room at Pop for Saturday night. I guess she and my 3YO son want to sleep in, rather than getting up at 3:00 in the morning

lorilovestigger · 10-21-2008, 07:02 PM

Heck, I don't even want to get up that early.

Not my first choice, either, but I have to rely on the buses Disney provides and experience has taught me to go earlier rather than later. Experience has also taught to bring a book (I check it before the race, of course)!

In an ideal situation, I'd be at OKW, which is across the road from the start of the race. I've seen runners coming over 15-30 minutes before the race starts. The joy of sleeping until 5:00! Maybe next time...

pigletfan · 10-22-2008, 09:23 PM

True, but it is hard to sleep anyways, the excitement is overwhelming! But the night of the race, boy are you tired early that night!

I will be staying at the Pop Century from Thursday to Sunday. This is my first time and I am trying to decided whether to rent a car or just use Disney Transportation. I will be alone. Any advise.

How is everyone training going?

lorilovestigger · 10-24-2008, 04:25 PM

Bob74-
I would say that if you are by yourself just use the Disney transportation. Make sure you are on the bus early enough though too.

My training isn't going too badly. Wish I wouldn't have slacked off thro' the summer so I need to pick it up some.

I think that the Disney transportation is great! I drive my car to Disney World and I don't ever use it. I just use the Disney Transportation, it is part of the magic to me.
I have just started the Hal Higdon's half marathon training program this week. So far I have done 3 miles, 2 miles, 3 miles, and then I am doing 4 miles tomorrow. I am walking, maybe jogging very little if at all.

lorilovestigger · 10-25-2008, 06:19 AM

I hate doing long runs! I get bored because I'm by myself. There is no one there to carry me along. I don't know if I'll get a "long run" in before the marathon but I never did a long run before the 15k and I did fine.

pigletfan · 10-25-2008, 06:39 AM

I do it by myself too Lori so I load up my ipod with podcasts! So I feel like I am walking with Lou! haha! I never listen to music anymore, just podcasts. I love it! I am doing 4 miles today and listening to the new All About the Mouse podcast on my walk.

Well, I'm staying at Animal Kingdom lodge! The passholder rates came out but everything was booked up for marathon weekend! I was only able to get a standard view room for $200 a night! Keeping my fingers crossed for an upgrade to savannah view! Oh well, I will try not to stress, if that is my biggest problem, life is good.
