    Wow. I just received an email from runDisney offering me a reserved (!) spot in the Disneyland Half as a Legacy Runner!

    If for any reason you are not be able to get through and register on January 28, 2014, in honor of your status as a Legacy runner, we will temporarily reserve (1) Disneyland Half Marathon registration for your convenience however we are only able to guarantee this registration if you contact us by 8:00pm EST on Wednesday, January 29, 2014.

    We've talked about the need for this for years given the fast sell out and the fact that many of us can't guarantee we'll be able to be online at 9:00 a.m. PST when registration opens. I heard that many Legacy Runners lost their status last year when they missed the fast open and close of the 2013 race.

    This is just absolutely wonderful.

    We had one runner come to our team for this reason. He lost his leg MP status because he couldn't register before that fell out. So we were able to preserve it by offering him a legitimate bit.

    I hope they offer this again next year as well as for the races with legacy such as Princess and Wine & Dine although neither seem to have the crazy sell-out rate as Disneyland.

    By the way, have you noticed that similar to the Tinker Bell schedule, the Disneyland Half expo opens on Thursday afternoon and the 5k has moved to Friday morning?

    Disneyland AP Twitter feed tweeted that there will be a second pre-registration for APs: "Beginning at 8:00 am PST on January 28, there will be a limited quantity of registrations available for the Dumbo Double Dare, Disneyland Half Marathon, Disneyland 10K, and the Disneyland Family Fun Run 5K (registration for the general audience opens at 9:00 am PST). Thank you for your passion around the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend and all of our Run Disney races. Keep running!"

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

    I was so glad to read of the email you received for your legacy status, much better than a special lanyard, no?

    I haven't signed up for anything during DL 1/2 weekend and don't know yet if I will.

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

    off to neverland...

    My DH is doing DDD he's DisneyFunDaddy4. I may do the 10k with the girls but that is to be determined. It'll depend finances and how quickly the 10k sells out. I know me and I'll be sad not to get any bling at all that weekend but my medal rack is full.

    I'm in for the DDD with my DH. DS8 (I mean 10) is in for the 10k. DS7 will be doing the 5K with Hannahbelle's DH.

    I"m just in for the half.

    In the year leading up to my 40th birthday, I successfully ran 40 races ending with Ironman Lake Tahoe! Follow me on Facebook!
