    hey there!

    i'm gonna leave in 10 days :) (italian merch)...
    ...as i rather do openair activities than go to the gym... i just wonder if there are opportunities to walk, run etc... close to the commons. so i won't need to wait for a bus and waste half a day for that but just put on my shoes and go.
    and also... is it common or i'll be just by myself doing that?!

    thanks for your help and i'll see you there ;)

    I know some people just jog inside the complex, but right next to The Commons and Chatham there's Mickey's Retreat, where there's a lot of out door activities. I'm sure you can run on the football fields or whatever if you want to run on grass, of not there's sidewalks around the property that would be good for running/walking.

    oh ok! it sounds really good!!
    thanks a lot for your help :)
     
  4. I had a really nice route I used to jog, around chathem and then the outlet mall and grab a smoothie on the way home :)
    But yeah Mickey's Retreat is a nice option as well! Very nice there.

    That's good that there are some trails at least. Anyone planning to train for the Disney marathon?

    so far I am still on the waiting list, but even if I don't get the job, a girlfriend of mine and I have already started training and we're going to come down for a few days during the marathon. Also, I know Canadiantyler ran it before and I'm pretty positive he is going to run it again

    It's usually in january. One of the norwegians I work with participates every year..
     
  9. I'm starting training next week to be able to do the 1/2 marathon.
    The event does fill up pretty quick so anyone planning on doing it make sure you sign up asap.
