FYI -- they are running random previews of HyperSpace Mountain. Just rode it (about a 15-20 min wait). It was awesome.

I saw those at the Expo yesterday and look like a great idea. I just don't want to try anything new for the race tomorrow. Also, it was pretty snug. I guess that's the idea.I think my Flip Belt will just stay nice and cozy under my shirt. There is no way I am shimmying that thing off and on.
I had a great time doing the 10K this morning with one exception - there was a group of men on the course (I was running near them in California Adventure) who were loudly fat shaming some of the overweight runners. I was shocked. Thankfully most of the women they went past and commented on when I was near them wore headphones and didn't hear the comments but I would have been horrified if someone had heard it and been upset.
It was the most uncool thing I have ever seen in a race. If those men happen to read this board, rethink your choices and behaviour.
Let me guess.. Those men were not the best at being in shape either
Why doesn't runDisney post ANY pics of these races...they post like every other day, if at all. Sad that they can't promote themselves more.

It was weird how the Twitter feed went silent. It's almost like the person running it didn't come to work and they didn't have anyone to backfill. They haven't tweeted anything since Friday.
Home from a great weekend now. I really enjoyed all three races. I am still wondering what happened at the 5k to delay the start 10 minutes. Ran that with DH and the kids and loved it. It was DS9 and DH's first running races, and they thought it fun. Pretty sure DH was shocked to enjoy it. DD7 thoroughly enjoyed that this was her second 5k to her dad's first We hadn't been into the parks yet, so the kids were very excited to get a glimpse at everything.
The 10k course was, not surprisingly, my favorite. So much park time. I stopped for lots of selfies, plus pics with Thor (my favorite) and Captain America, whom I was dressed as.
The half I was nervous about. It was my 3rd half, and my previous ones (PHM '14 and '15) I had a lot of issues with knee pain severe enough to make me walk. My Garmin FR225 monitors my activity all day, and both Friday and Saturday with the races plus park time, I was over 13 miles each day at the end of the day. I was afraid my body was going to be too tired to get through it pain free. But, I started slow and focused on my form, and managed to finish the whole thing pain free. I was so excited. Beat my previous half race by 15 minutes. Loved the Angels Stadium, all the bands, and the Cosplayers that lined one section.
DL is a harder race for me to get to and DVC at GC is harder to come by, but I would love to return to do this again in a few years!
Apparently a car got on the course somewhere on the 5k from what I heard that's why there was a delay.
What I'm curious about is why there was a 5 minute delay for the half. I tried talking to the staff next to me when I realized the chairs had yet to go off and it was past 5:30. He said something about one last verifying of the course, but that sounds more like a standard answer just to explain away the delay. So I'm not 100 percent sure he knew either.
