In fact, some sections of the Poly may be closer to the Shades entrance than Shades itself (but not the DVC areas), being that it's a ways up a long driveway into Shades from the main drive. Anyway, there is signage on the Poly grounds how to get through the foliage and to the Shades entrance. We'll show ya earlier in the week, if need be.

To DHS from Poly/SOG is easy as well. That morning, they run busses from the TTC to the parks. The past few years it's been fast and easy.

Thanks Miss Mel.

Wondering if anyone can help.
I have been doing my C25K app and after 2 weeks of walking/running 1.5-2.5 miles every other day, I have developed bad pain on the outside of my lower legs. It's not in my shins or my calf but on the outside of my legs. From what I have been looking into, it might be shin splints. I ordered a massage roller and hopping that helps but was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, advice, etc.
it was so painful today I really cut my training short and basically limped back.

It could be shin splints or some other kind of stress injury, Justin. You probably need to see a Dr. for an absolute diagnosis. In the meantime I would RICE--rest, ice, compression, elevation. I wouldn't run on it until you know for sure what you're dealing with or you could do more damage. :(

Running form and shoes can be other factors. Starting with your doctor would be the best way to start figuring it out.

I'm pretty sure it's shin splints. Gonna take a few days off and see how it goes.

I hate doctors. LOL I also think that even though I don't think its my shoes, I'm going to go to a running store and really have them check me out.

I'm so excited that I just had to take time from work to share.

I received permission to be off Wednesday - Sunday for Marathon weekend! (I did a trade with one of my bosses.) Woo hoo! It was iffy for a while to take time off in January but I'm officially going to #runICOT #cheerICOT! :thumbsup::woohoo::walk::team::tigger::ccat:

See you there friends!

Great news, Salina!!!!! Glad things are working out with your new job. We're flying in Wednesday night too.

Yay Salina!

Yippee!!!! Can't wait for another fun few days. I need to come up with a mascot to play with bad kitty....;)

Great! Is James doing Dopey? I need to check flights out to see if I will make it in time before the expo closes or if I'm picking up my bib at the 5K race.
