You could also have someone hand it to you in Epcot and wear it the last .5 miles to the finish, rather then the whole race.
really cool!My training is still progressing, and while I'm not where I want to be yet, I'm ready for Dopey in other ways:
I designed it myself (aside from stealing an image online) and had it made in Korea when my friend was there. It is based on the Blackhawks NHL jersey but with Dopey colors...a bit big on me, but for a Hockey sweater it works. I wish the Dopey was a bit bigger, so maybe next time I'll have them enlarge it. Hopefully we have some cold weather for the runs because this will come in handy - though I wouldn't actually wear it for the marathon. If you see me wearing this - say hi!

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great week!
As always Sundays are for Disney...
Today’s question: within the next week or so it will be Fastpass day for most of us. Is there one Fastpass you are looking to get for your Racecation?
My answer: I can’t believe it’s FP day soon. I feel like time is flying by. I really need to sit down and look at my days but of course I’m hoping to get at least one day with Flight of Passage. It’s such an incredible attraction if you haven’t been on it yet. Other than that I’ll take what I get at the other parks.

Haven't been to Pandora yet so then like most everyone else it's Flight of Passage. I need to get our park days all figured out too, I only know we will be at EPCOT the morning of the half so we can spectate.Today’s question: within the next week or so it will be Fastpass day for most of us.

If time goals aren't a big issue, I would go to a run/walk interval. I had the same problem when trying to run the the entire 26.2, but switched to run/walk and haven't had any cramping issues since. Added benefit, I ran faster times too.Another half marathon completed and I'm still battling leg cramps. They started when I ran my first marathon a couple of years ago, and I always get them the last couple miles of the race. I don't know if it's because I never run the race distance during my training, if it's hydration, or if it's something else. I always feel like I've trained properly, having never gotten leg cramps during my training runs. But as soon as I hit a distance during a race that is longer then my training runs, the cramps start coming on. They've always been in either my hamstrings or calves. Has anyone else dealt with this and have suggestions on what I could try? A friend of mine suggested rubbing magnesium oil into my legs. Has anyone tried this with any success?
Looks nice tho.Does the marathon medal have a double ribbon? I can't tell if I'm seeing double or what.
