Several of my friends had to defer and I just can't afford being in NYC on my own for marathon weekend. Literally, hotel prices go up like $100 a night that weekend. :( But on the bright side, maybe it will give me a chance to get faster.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412864659613068146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024307164150315166.post-57507234304877323992013-09-18T11:24:51.372-07:002013-09-18T11:24:51.372-07:00Maybe I should just think Tink for 2015 instead of...Maybe I should just think Tink for 2015 instead of Dopey. Honestly, it's going to be awhile before I'm excited for that. Maybe when I'm capable of running a sub 2 half, it won't seem so horrible.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412864659613068146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024307164150315166.post-53623116990958038002013-09-18T11:19:30.673-07:002013-09-18T11:19:30.673-07:00Ha!

You are going to loooove it. It was my first marathon. I am hoping to go back next year!Run Ciry Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732641563285467947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024307164150315166.post-31249806501921577572013-09-09T07:49:59.608-07:002013-09-09T07:49:59.608-07:00"I'm sad now that I'm not doing the i..."I'm sad now that I'm not doing the inaugural Dopey Challenge...except, ya know, for the whole running a shit ton of miles part."- TRUE. Your legs are already thanking you.<br /><br />I appreciate you totally sticking it out at the expo, but I would've completely understood if you bailed. That must've been miserable and Idk if I would've stayed! haha. <br /><br />I'm still sad I didn't get to experience the Mad T party, but there's always Tinkerbell one day :)Abby's Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188525132746093007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024307164150315166.post-78638776712098003092013-09-07T13:55:11.763-07:002013-09-07T13:55:11.763-07:00Yay!!

And a soundtrack for the Mad T Party - brilliant!

Thanks, maybe I should have bought the tire as a fashion piece!<br /><br />I don't think anyone could really understand the disaster if they hadn't been there to see it. Dumbo was crazy from the very beginning with the 45 minute sell out, to all over the hype on social media, to the disaster at the expo. I really hope they figure it out, because until this year, DL Half was my very favorite race.<br /><br />And yes, I'm constantly amazed at how ugly and ill fitting their race shirts are (except for the women's focused races, I've liked those so far). It's almost like they are trying to make them ugly on purpose.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412864659613068146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024307164150315166.post-25250730118271732882013-09-04T22:06:11.262-07:002013-09-04T22:06:11.262-07:00Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. :)

I understand that they don't want a lot of left over merchandise, but they don't offer nearly enough to make people happy. I've always loved the Disneyland Half, but this year was really frustrating on a lot of levels.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412864659613068146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024307164150315166.post-4820737107280161392013-09-04T20:39:32.485-07:002013-09-04T20:39:32.485-07:00You look great with the tire on your head.

I never like any of the Disney merchandise, so that was the one part that I missed, but I did see the grabbing and the huge line. I really hope there are massive meetings of the logistics team so they straighten it out before Tinkerbell! Interns designing...lol...for a company built out of artists, there is no excuse for such ugly stuff!

I hear ya on the insanity...omg I love your recap! <br /><br />I hear ya on the insanity thing, Princess was bad this year too but I don't think it was even near the disaster this past weekend was. <br /><br />I don't get it though! It's so frustrating that merchandise sells out. I would have done the same thing as you and stood in line for the shirt.Meg Pudzianowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358369214523833671noreply@blogger.com
