So excited - our DVC rental has just been confirmed and we are heading to Aulani in November! Cannot wait.

A quick update. I've been doing my strength exercises and keeping up my cardio on the bike. My foot is about 90%. I did a 5 km walk on it and managed a 8:43 min / pace without too much trouble. So...

UPDATE:
The good news is there is no bony stress reaction/fracture. But the scan does show mild changes around the calcaneal tuberosity (the bone at the back of the heel) consistent with mild...

The continuing saga of my Dopey training. A sad and sorry tail at the moment.

First of all – sorry that it has been so long since my last update. There have been a few developments and I was...

Where does the time go? It has been 8 weeks since my last update – so much for my intentions of more frequent posts! But this time I have a good excuse. Just over two weeks ago we welcomed our second...

I'm considering booking a massage for the day following the WDW full marathon. I have not used any of the spas at WDW before. Have any runners here booked a massage for the day after the marathon at...

It was a chilly 6 degrees (C)...

I have been to both the previous expos.

The last expo was much more crowded that the first. There may be even more people this time - although they are opening up more floor space too.

Training – Weeks 19 – 20
Week 19 of my training was a slow one. I took a week off running to rest my sore right knee. I skipped my two midweek runs, and did a 6 km walk with my Dad on the Saturday....

I also had troubles today. It was my 180+10 for ADRs, but even though I was logged in and my room reservation linked the site wouldn't let me make any ADRs beyond the 180 days. Ended up calling and...

Thanks for all the advice guys!

I ended up booking with AA, as I caught a price drop - down to $184 non stop LAX to MCO. Even paying for the bag, this works out cheaper than SW. The other deciding...

Looking to purchase flights LAX to MCO for the WDW marathon weekend in Jan. Normally Virgin America is my first choice of carrier, but their fares are currently $811!!!

My first speed bump.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel this week after my great 11.5km run last Saturday. I was surprised when I felt really good on my Tuesday morning...

I’m still really stoked to be training for the marathon, which has helped getting up at 5:30am for training runs. Last week I found that I was developing some chafing on my upper...
