@rocketear99 You are absolutely not alone in this feeling!!! This has really been a rough year! I think most of us are relating to that stuffed sausage feeling!
I’m sorry about your ankle! Mine has been off and on for a couple months now. I’m so ready for it to just be normal feeling! We are so bummed about the races being switched to virtual. We are debating just getting the full refund or doing virtual. But virtual just isn’t the same and I still have two 10k virtual medals at my house waiting for me to complete those! Will you guys still go to WDW in April with the races cancelled?@eeyorepoohfan I am not sure
I know I sooooooo still want to go so I think we will keep the dates at least for now and see how things progress. as for the race, we might just keep it virtual since it was just the 5K and that’s much easier to bang out on our own than the bigger races you do 
was sooo looking forward to our first race experience. Another time I’m so glad I’m far from alone in losing motivation and gaining weight.
Definitely! I’m pushing my Dopey shoes a little bit longer. Yeah I’m over the 1 year mark but I’m well under the mileage. I’m not running far right now. Good for you on starting to get your weight back to where you want to be (how funny that we gained the exact same amount of weight
) and for getting back out there running! Clearly you’ve still got it! 
@starbee My weight is far from where I want it to be, but it’s heading in the right direction at least
@eeyorepoohfan I’ll have to talk to Christy before we make any final decisions. We signed up for every event that weekend, so we’ll probably take the quite hefty refund and put it toward a new family truck rather than go virtual. As we’ve all said, a lot is lost in virtual races that is there for the in-person ones. As for the dates, they’re at an inconvenient time for Christy’s teaching schedule so I can see us cancelling altogether, going earlier while she’s still on leave, or keeping the dates but scaling back the reservations to a solo trip or bringing a friend down or something. The last option is least likely, but I can dream, can’t I?
Here are the medals! It may or may not persuade virtual or cancelling. We are still on the fence.
Fully expected this and frankly we were just waiting for them to pull the plug. I can tell you all now that we won’t be going virtual, we’ll get the refund. Kathy and I are done with virtuals and will start again when races are done in person. I can also let you all know that unless our kids keep their April dates we will cancel and go in March. Two reasons for that, one: we are SUPPOSED to go on our Alaska cruise in May and the time was already going to be tight. Although we’re sure that’s going to be canceled too.
And two: March is WAY cheaper for us to stay. Like, not even close cheaper! This all is maddeningly disappointing! We were SO looking forward to a big D-Cot trip and races with all who could!
@rocketear99 great job on your run buddy! 
Well this news sucks!!! We will probably get the refund. We have no intentions of doing it virtually. Not sure if we will keep the current dates or not now that many fellow D-Cotters are cancelling or changing their dates. We were really looking forward to meeting everyone face to face
@Nascfan – was thinking the same thing about going earlier in the year since we didn’t make it at all this year & it’s way cheaper!!It’s amazing the price difference between earlyish March and April. I’m just so very, very sad.
