Luckily, it is all flat, unfortunately, there is no shaded areas. :( I'm just hoping to get through the first day without too much strain and then keep a good pace for the 1/2.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497080625352955794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-12752548700543406962013-08-01T18:48:48.704-07:002013-08-01T18:48:48.704-07:00YAY!

And I know exactly what you mean about balancing those longer runs/more intense training with not getting injured...that is BY FAR my biggest fear when I'm gearing up for a runDisney race (or any race, really)!Jennifer @ The Final Fortyhttp://www.thefinalforty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-49208180481702391742013-08-01T14:31:38.272-07:002013-08-01T14:31:38.272-07:00Me too!

The last night race I had was no good at all, so I'm now a bit leary about night races, even though I REALLY want to run this race. :) It is on my bucket list for sure, maybe next year?<br /><br />I LOVE the anticipation that builds before a runDisney race, they surely do know how to get people talking and buzzing about the events for that weekend! The corrals may be similar, so I would use the DL ones as a guide. Also remember that the DL half is the last race you can change your corral at the expo, all other races you will have to submit you POT by a certain date before the race.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497080625352955794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-48845535789186524362013-07-31T15:24:20.611-07:002013-07-31T15:24:20.611-07:00I'm so glad you posted an update about the Dis...I'm so glad you posted an update about the Disney stuff! It's making me more excited about the Wine & Dine!<br /><br />Plus, I assume the corral assignments will be similar for my race and I'll have to figure out if I need a corral change. I'm running another half marathon in September and my goal time according to training is 1:52- 1:54 but Disney currently has me at a 2:06 expected finish, which I already achieved in Junr and have gotten faster. So much to figure out and think about!<br /><br />I wish you were going to the Wine & Dine because I so am enjoying reading your journey to your own races. You're brave to be taking on the DDD!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354890444410748967noreply@blogger.com
