Hey Mauricio, I got the ladies version of the Newtons. Just wait until you get those broken in. They work like magic and you will feel like you are lighter than air every step you take. You get a nice push forward. I think you will like them. Some advice with those, hopefully the shoe store told you about the uniqueness of the shoe. It isn't the heal to toe kind of run that we do with other shoes. It is a midfoot plant and push forward with these shoes. Have fun breaking them in! See you all in Disney, I am running the half this year.

It's coming down to the wire. How are you doing? How are you feeling? Feel ready? Time's running out! I have been doing back-to-back long runs for a couple of weeks. Two days ago I ran 10 miles and yesterday 18. Other than a little soreness in my left ankle I feel just fine. Also, I just purchased new Newton shoes and hope to get them broken in before the big event.

I think you will have a great time. I guess the big thing is for us to not over do it on the days before the runs. I'm getting in on Wednesday. I'll play in the parks on Thursday and early Friday. But Friday will be a very light walking day. Saturday after the half I'm going back to the hotel to rest and pig out, uh make that carbo load.

Just booked my trip so there is no backing out of the Goofy Run. Southwest.com had some decent deals, flight and 7 nights at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside with the "required" purchase of 7 day parkhopper tickets for two adults was $1500

Thanks Kyle. Can't find anything available at the Disney All Star Resorts. I guess I'll have to go offisite and rent a car if I decide to go.

The race starts at 5:50 and the gathering area opens at 3 AM. And there are people waiting to get in at 3 AM. It is a 1 mile walk from the gathering area to the starting gate. If you are looking for a cheap room I would suggest you check out the Disney All Star resorts. They are clean and cheap. There will be a bus to take you from the hotel to Epcot for the run. If you stay off property you will need to be at Epcot by about 4:30. They start to shut down the road and its difficult to get around.

Hi,

I'm considering the marathon as there are still entries available. Airfare is cheap still, too. However, the logistics of the 5:50 AM start and affordable lodging have me concerned. Can anyone who's done this before give me some ideas, tips? I'm worried about where to stay and get to the start on time, etc.

Thanks,
Joe

Looks like the Sunday morning training run around Stony Creek is not going to happen. Seems this is a 'do you own thing week end.'

Take a few days off from running.
Swim
Easy bike rides

Anyone out there know what to do with a sore knee? Fell on an old injury twice the week of the Freep and trying to train on it is not easy. Any tips are welcome!
