Hi all! I'm just starting to think about my outfit for the DL Half. I probably won't do a full, elaborate costume since its my first half--I'm super picky and hate when I'm wearing something too heavy or clingy or irritating. Definitely no tutus, but I want something fun. Has anyone here bought skirts from Team Sparkle? How did they work out while you were running? Were they inconvenient at More...

You're a lady after my own heart...if I was running in something like that, I'd definitely put more thought into the outfit than my running strategy! Sorry - not able to give you any advise on this one! - msdizmaui 521.6 #226 10:25PM

Lol! I'm still working on strategy but I love clothes too! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 6:55AM

I agree with MDM, I'd be focused on my outfit too. I have nothing useful to add, other than say I'm sure you'll look amazing. - Mrs.mouse 426.1 #304 12:34PM

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it! I've wanted to do this since 2007, and we were finally able to do it! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 5:56PM

I love my Team Sparkle Skirts. I wear spandex running sorts under mine and I don't even notice the skirt when I run. I didn't register in time for the half this year :( - vernswifevickie 374.1 #378 4:12PM

Thanks for the feedback--it sounds like the skirt won't annoy me, lol. I'm sorry to hear you missed tout on registering...I checked runDisney the other day, and it looks like people can still register through charities--maybe that's another option? :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 7:19PM

Another vote for team sparkle skirts! I wore one for the last two halfs and didn't even notice it (and I get super picky about my workout clothes being comfy& not irritating or rubbing weird) have fun SOS!! :) - supertracy 435.6 #290 12:12AM

Hi Supertracy! Thanks for the feedback--sounds like it will be a worthwhile purchase :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 7:27AM

With all the runDisney ✨🏃✨ events lately, we've had so many discussions about running, which I think is great--I love that we're talking about being happy and healthy! Other than running, what are some of the other sports and activities that you do (or used to do)? Do you 💃dance? 🏊Swim? 🏄Surf? 🚴Bike? 🏂Snowboard? 🎿Ski? 🏇 Ride horses? Work in the 🌺garden? 🏈Footb More...

✨🏃✨I'm signed up for the DL Half! Yay! I've wanted to do this for 4 years now, and finally we can make it work this year. Question for those of you who have done this before...if you could experience your first half marathon again, would you have wanted it to be a runDisney event, or would you have rather run a local "practice" half to see how it goes before the more expensive, more fun More...

Woohoo!! I'm so excited for you SOS! The DL Half last year was my first ever half marathon. I did other 5K and 10K races beforehand, but I wanted Disney to be my first half. The 5K and 10K races were my "practice" races and I learned a lot from them so I definitely recommend doing some of those (for example- learning what to eat or what not to eat, which shoes work and which don't, etc.). In my training, the most I ran was about 12 miles so I knew that I could handle the half. I will say that the runDisney races spoiled me though. Now I'm very dissatisfied with the races here in Vegas. Besides the DL Half, I also ran the Wine & Dine Half in WDW and the Tinker Bell Half a few days ago. If you have anymore questions, just let me know! I'm doing the Dumbo Challenge so maybe we can have a Chub 33 meet up! If you have fb, check out the #Team runDisney group. They have lots of tips for runDisney races. - PirateQueenBriezy 291.4 #679 11:06AM

Thanks! This confirmed what I was thinking exactly! I know I should do a few practices to work out the kinks, but wasn't sure if I should try a half or not. I definitely plan on being conditioned to handle the 13 miles! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 3:14PM

Congratulations! That is a big commitment, but I have every confidence that you'll LOVE it! Definitely go to the runDisney website and download Jeff Galloway's training program. - D55CR 245.7 #1069 4:03PM

Thanks! Yeah, I've already been looking at training programs--so excited! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 7:30PM

Good for you SoS! I'd love to do one of those - even I had to walk half of it! I just want to be a part of it all and wear the number and the medal in the park afterwards! - msdizmaui 521.6 #226 11:36PM

It's going to be fun to finally be a part of all if it and feel the adrenaline! I'm definitely looking forward to getting that medal! :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 7:34PM

Tink 1/2 was my first and was so much fun to do for my first! Would love to do it as my first again! Running in the parks was so much fun, I think I forgot I was running. - NikkiMickey 1654.8 #47 9:43PM

My post-workout breakfast! I'm addicted to this version of a Green Monster smoothie: in a blender, mix kale, spinach, milk (I use cow milk for the protein, but almond milk tastes great and has fewer calories), a touch of vanilla or plain yogurt, and a mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. I don't measure anything, but the ratio of fruit to veggies is about 40:60. You can't even More...

I need some advice! I've been waking up at 4:45 am to get my workout in early (my husband's schedule changed and this is the only time we can work out together; plus, it's just too hot in the afternoon now). We've been doing this for about two weeks: two days we run 5 miles, two days we bike for about an hour and a half, and two days we go to the gym for weights and a little cardio. My body is More...

Darn it sounds so good on paper!..are you getting enough sleep?.. Maybe wind down a little earlier and try and get some more sleep in?..do you have time or drink coffee in the morning? - Twinklelashes 144.4 #2422 1:58PM

I know--I need to go to bed earlier, but I can't sleep! I'm a night person by nature, so this is a bit hard on me, but I'm determined to figure it out! I used to work at a gym and sometimes I'd have the opening shift (had to be there by about 4:30 to open at 4:45). I always wondered how people could possibly be so cheerful and active at that time, lol! It was hard enough to fake a smile and check people in! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 6:24PM

Congrats SOS sounds like you are getting into the groove!.. Skinny jean victory.. Woohoo!!.. I bet Sweet Joey just loves the morning runs too!.. And super cool your workout is done before the sun comes up!.. Awesome job!!!! - Twinklelashes 144.4 #2422 10:06PM

My husband switches shifts often and unless he gets on the new schedule immediately then he is miserable. Sometimes he takes a sleeping pill to help him get to sleep earlier. After a few days of that routine, his body usually adjusts. I don't like taking pills and I dont drink coffee so as soon as I wake up I turn on all the lights and I start the shower off with cooler water than usual. Music helps too. Good luck! - PirateQueenBriezy 291.4 #679 9:57PM

I'm so impressed SOS! I wish that I were a morning person...but I'm just not! This week I set my alarm for 1/2 hour early to use my eliptical before I showered. Didn't happen...(and probably never will!) - msdizmaui 521.6 #226 8:29PM

Lol, I honestly couldn't do it without my husband's encouragement. I've never really liked sleeping in late, but I'm not a morning person either. The weight loss is encouraging (I've been stalled lately). Went shopping today--things fit well and I felt good for the first time in a few years, really. So I came home and tried on my "skinny jeans," (bought them on my honeymoon). They've been a bit tight for the last two years, but now they fit again! So that's motivation to keep getting up early and staying motivated. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 8:41PM

How are things goin MDM?.. Besides elliptical workout!..lil.. Gettin up early before work is tough! - Twinklelashes 144.4 #2422 9:58PM

Set my alarm early every morning this week...and never happened once! I'm going to try again this weekend. I'm SO not a morning person! - msdizmaui 521.6 #226 1:11AM

It's a tough balance!.. But if anyone can make it work you can!.. - Twinklelashes 144.4 #2422 9:34AM

It sounds like your adjusting pretty well on your own. If you ever have trouble getting to sleep, I find taking a melatonin pill very helpful. It's not like a sleeping pill because your body produces melatonin naturally anyway. Adding a little more makes me a little more tired as long as I turn off the lights and get in bed. It doesn't really work if I stay active. Costco sells a huge package of melatonin but I'm sure other stores have smaller ones as well. - TamiPoppins 39.7 #4076 9:23AM

Thank you--I have good days and not-do-great ones (felt awful this morning, and my jog went really slowly today). I thought about melatonin, but I wasn't really sure. It's relatively gentle on your body, right? I don't like sleeping pills or Benadryl or any of those because I just hate the feeling of having meds in me (I feel all dehydrated and icky). Maybe I'll buy some and try it every so often. Thank you for the feedback! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 10:07AM

This might be an odd question, but I'd like to get feedback from people who I know care about what goes in their bodies. Does anyone have any experience with homeopathic or all-natural allergy relief? I have terrible hay fever this year, and on a few days, it's been really hard to exercise and go to work.

Just make sure to use distilled water, unless it is pre packaged saline. My co-worker and his wife used this (and tap water). Both got nasty sinus and ear infections. - Sugarbuzz 55.5 #3700 6:01PM

Ok--thank you both! This is helpful! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 7:52PM

Yes. I think you can use cooled, boiled water too, just make sure to read the directions. - MXPrincess399 483.1 #251 6:49PM

I do think the cooled boiled water works. I think it has to be boiled for so many minutes. Can't remember how long though. I forgot about that, or just a little lazy. - Sugarbuzz 55.5 #3700 11:39PM

Have you tried local natural honey? Probably too late for right now but it is supposed to build up immunities to local pollin. - sewgirl 340.5 #444 8:21PM

I tried it last year, but it didn't really work. I might not have started early enough? - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 8:35PM

My kids pediatrician recommended local honey as well, seemed to have worked for them this year. I was also told that each year you have to use a different allergy medicine (zyrtec, allegra etc) or they don't work, I haven't experienced trying this but the person who told me says it's true. - disneymommy0910 233.9 #1211 3:20PM

Local honey helps! And it's yummy! - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED} 294.6 #655 11:17AM

The sinus rinse does help, the instructions come with the pot on how to use distilled vs boiled water. I have to admit, the first few times I used it, I freaked out, it feels really weird, but I got used to it. I also found a homeopathic nasal spray, but my son took it to school with him. Check out whole foods if youre near one! - tinkerbella728 175.5 #1956 11:47AM

Marathon Mondays! A marathon seems like so much work, but it’s easy if you take it in small steps! You will make a goal for yourself, then you will need to track your jog/walk/elliptical mileage each week (track Tuesday-Monday or Sunday-Saturday, if it's easier), and post the previous week's mileage on Mondays. Posting days will be the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th of May. Some of us are currently More...

*Example*: My goal will be to run/walk two marathons (roughly 55 miles total) this month. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 3:39PM

My goal is to keep moving, trying to build up a good routine w/o being distracted by "life". I'm going to walk - with mini spurts of jogging - 6 to 10 miles a week and bike 10 miles a week. - Jewelz 475.3 #259 9:14AM

Who wants to do this again in June? - PirateQueenBriezy 291.4 #679 8:43AM

Raises hand.. Yes!!! - Twinklelashes 144.4 #2422 12:53PM

Sure! Just keep tracking and I'll make a post for June next week! Posting my mileage publicly really helps push me to reach my goals and not slack off! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.2 #288 6:38AM

Awesome! May was hectic for me, but June should be great so I hope to meet or exceed my goals in June. - PirateQueenBriezy 291.4 #679 10:17AM
