@zanzibar138: OMG!! That dress and you look SMOKING HOT!
I. LOVE. IT.
Little update for me (before I head to the beach for a long weekend with friends and little internet):
Bought the last park tickets for our group today! I think that pretty much was the last thing we had left to do!
The three of us are pretty much closing out our last couple weeks of training, and are starting to look forward to the fun of the weekend!
Our next BIG goal? Getting B, the 8-year-old going with us, to ride Tower of Terror for the first time!
Oh my god... that. is. awesome!!! You are so talented. And I love your Boo bounding outfit too, with the little Sully so cute!So last night I finally finished my 5k dress! Please excuse the terrible photo of me...
It will ride up a bit, but hopefully with my running shorts on underneath it won't present too much of a problem.
ETA... I'm desperately trying to resize that photo, but I'm about to lose my connection. I'll have to try again later :-(
Great job Zanzibar! I can't believe you made that

Zanzibar glorious lady in Red! Love it!
Well done week#13 DDD! Best I have done in a long time the 4 miler at MM! Feeling good looking forward to rest of the training. One more week on this page and I get to turn the page to last one, and seeing how close it is. Ran 10 & 1's this morning breeze helped with the heat. Last night I carb loaded with yams they came through for me. How is everyone doing?
Personally I wouldn't do 10 the week before, maybe 6-8. Anyway you can adjust it and get that 10 in 2 weeks before. I read something that it takes 2 weeks for a workout to benefit you. I like tapering way down the last week before the race, so I'm all rested and any nagging issues go away before race day.I feel like the Dooney's usually get cut off about 2 weeks before the event? I could be wrong. I don't pre-order cause I can't stand those active fees. The cost is enough on it's own!
I can't believe how close we are getting now and I am so behind in my training. Question for all of you. I started serious training pretty late, so I found the Hidgon training plan was shorter (Novice 1). But I'm about half was through it and just noticed that it has me running 10 miles the week before the half. I think Galloway has runners tapering earlier than this. This will be my first half marathon, although I've done several Disney 10ks. Do you think I should adjust this plan?
This is the plan I'm following, but to be honest I'm not doing the cross training. I'm at week 7 right now. I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice. http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51131/Half-Marathon-Novice-1-Training-Program

DH is on the DL. He hurt his knee playing hockey last night. He's done similar things before and the Dr's orders were to stay off it for 2 weeks. Missing 2 weeks of training at this stage sucks! I hope he's ok to run in September.

I don't know how it works with travel agents, but when I registered I just checked I could finish under 3:30 or whatever it had and then submitted my 1/2 time on their submit time site. There was no way to change the original registration if you wanted to that's why you submit a time. If you submitted a time on the rundisney site before the cutoff, you should be fine.ughh...I just realized that I may have screwed up my corral placement because when I registered initially (through travel agent) I had to tell them my half marathon time would be 3:15 since I didn't have a race to use for proof. But then before the due date I got a race in and submitted a 48 min for a 10k that the system told me is a 1:47 half....well, I believe that in order to get correct corral placement I had to somehow update the original registration time from 3:15 to 1:47 but I didn't know that and didn't do that. So even though I submitted a time that should have placed me higher - the original registration still probably says 3:15...so I'm gonna be last. son of a -----!!!!! Well, live and learn, I guess....I'll hopefully figure it out for the Dopey in Jan.
