19 days and counting till I run this race. I signed up so long ago because the RunDisney's Tower of Terror Ten Miler is an inaugural race. They used to have a 13k back in the day. I knew this race would sell out quickly, I can't even remember what month I signed up, but I do know it was when I was still working at the middle school.
This race is a nighttime race that ends at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Hollywood studios is one of my favorite theme parks and the Tower of Terror is now my favorite ride. I say now, because if you could have seen my face the first time I rode it, you would have died laughing. I thought I could get out on the way up, I was panicking.
RunDisney's website states:

| What I will be running!! |
Above is the course map. It looks like a lot of running through the back roads which does not make me super happy, but hopefully there will be some bridges for some NYC Marathon training.
I am also very nervous about this race because on my training schedule I have a 20 miler the week before and the week after which will mean sore legs! That morning I have a cross country meet with my kiddies and lastly, it's a night race!!
I did Disney's Wine and Dine in 2010 and it was not my favorite race. I am NOT a night owl. I am scared I am going to hate life after those 10 miles. What exactly should I be eating that day? Will my stomach hold up?
How do you like running in the evening? What are your tips for a night time run? Are you running this race?
I wanted to run that, but I'm going to be busy getting married that day. :D
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
That race sounds great! Good luck! I have never ran a nighttime race, but I've always wanted to try one. You'll do great!!
