Wk of Dec 31--WISH Walking/Running Club

[keenercam]

I'd love to run Disney every year, but we do have to have kids sometime!!

says who? I could just loan you mine! I think most of the hard parts are done, well, except for paying for high school, performing arts camp, college, grad school, etc. etc. :rotfl:

Maybe Krista and Stephen are going to be the ones with a little souvenir! :cloud9:

[MelRhoads]

:dance3: :dance3: :dance3:
I need to be sent to the funny farm!

Since you are an LPC, is that statement legally binding? Don't read this Cam and Lynn!!

Can anyone tell, I'm avoiding packing and responsibility?

I've never even thought about putting on my race clothes early!! I do train in my pack b/4 adventure races, but that is it. I sweat so much.... well you get the picture. In fact, I'm sweating just thinking about putting on my running clothes!

[MelRhoads]

Oh great! It's finally starting! I haven't been very emotional this year. I have been sitting here thinking about racing and marathoning and how I prefer team events.... Of course you can see where this is heading. You guys have made disney a team marathon.... Now the tears. I'll never make it past the gospel choir!!

[wtpclc]

You really need more than Hines? ;) ;)

[aladdinsgirl]

You really need more than Hines? ;) ;)

That is a good point!!!!! I can't complain about him since he was being so sweet last night. Against Stephen's wishes, Hines has started sleeping with us (yes, I let him up on the bed), but he always stays at the bottom of the bed by our feet and stays on top of comforter, so it's okay. Anyway, after I came back to bed after being sick, Hines scooted up by me and put his head on my stomach and fell asleep. How are they so intuitive????

[aladdinsgirl]

Maybe Krista and Stephen are going to be the ones with a little souvenir! :cloud9:

I do keep telling Stephen that I'm going to flush my bc!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: He is not amused when I say that. ;)

[Tiger Lily 03]

See you guys tomorrow.Yes! I can't believe it IS tomorrow!

I'm so wrapped into the now. Whee! It IS happening tomorrow it is! :dance3:

[wtpclc]

I'll never make it past the gospel choir!!
:rotfl: Don't know why your crying makes me laugh, but if you're still tehre when I drag in, we'll get you to the finish line!!! :goodvibes

[wtpclc]

Krista - Funny how pets are. My cats are always great when I don't feel good. other times....:rolleyes1

Oh, my wonderful co-worker keeps aking me how I'm gettign any work done today. :rolleyes1 :lmao:

[keenercam]

For anyone who thinks they are sappy, let me tell you that when I left a message on Judy's voicemail this morning wishing her and Charlie a good trip, I was crying! OMG! I am so embarrassed!

[Tiger Lily 03]

Oh great! It's finally starting! I haven't been very emotional this year. I have been sitting here thinking about racing and marathoning and how I prefer team events.... Of course you can see where this is heading. You guys have made disney a team marathon.... Now the tears. I'll never make it past the gospel choir!!Oh man! Tha's it. I'm up and down this roller coaster and I've got the tears thinking of all we've been thorugh.

It's here! It's here!

:dance3: :dance3:

[MelRhoads]

Carrie - 5 hour pace group!! You can witness the weeping 1st hand and even laugh about it!!

[princessmomma]

O.K. you guys quit with all the sappy talk! I can't stand it, I thought I was alright this morning...got some packing done... feeling fine... now I am an emotional mess again!(Insert mental picture of Colleen running around aimlessly! Or might as well sobbing too!)

Babysitter just called and all is good with the plans for tomorrow morning when DH takes me to the airport in CLT.

Kids clothes washed...
Reminder notes written...

Oh I forgot to pack sunscreen... be right back...

Colleen

[chimera]

I'd love to run Disney every year, but we do have to have kids sometime!!

You're more than welcome to borrow mine anytime ;)

I tried to convince DH last night that we could go up tonight instead of tomorrow, but he wasn't biting.



Are we there yet?

[plutosmyfav]

I'll never make it past the gospel choir!!

oh noooooooooo, not the Gospel Choir! I'm gonna lose it!

So are we going to have some marathon babies this weekend?;) (NO, "we" does NOT include me)

You'll all be happy to know that I am holding steady at "pale yellow":rotfl2: (I'll keep you posted)

In 24 hours I'll be in Orlando...

[plutosmyfav]

Oh I forgot to pack sunscreen... be right back...

Colleen

I almost forgot my sunglasses (and they're prescription):scared1:

[monte]

I'll be cheering you guys on all the way to the finish line! Whoo-hoo:rotfl: :banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :cheer2: :dance3: :grouphug: :flower3:

W.I.S.H. Rocks!....Go TEAM Go!

[aladdinsgirl]

In 24 hours I'll be in Orlando...

Funny you should mention that, I was just trying to decide if I should post on here and question why I'm clear when I've been drinking Gator Ade all day? What else can I do to get my electrolytes up?

[plutosmyfav]

Have you tried a V-8?

[skfulkers]

You guys are a mess!!! I distinctly remove myself from the "mess group" because I haven't been on here all morning. :)

What is my wife doing running around with little souvenirs???

I can't believe this weekend is finally here. I may not get another chance to post before we leave, so I'll say goodbye for now (until we all meet tomorrow evening).

This is it, guys. We're here. Everyone remember all the training you've put in and have a great race. To rephrase Craig, let's all go out and set fire to the course, whatever that may be for each of us. See you guys tomorrow.

Steve

[aladdinsgirl]

Have you tried a V-8?

I haven't. We have some at home, I just don't know if I can force it down without gagging. I hate tomatoes.

[princessmomma]

Have you tried a V-8?

I have three glasses going here...Spicey V8, gatorade and water...if I keep them in sight, I will drink. I'm not looking in the commode to see what color that turns out to be.:eek:

Oh, 24 hours I will be at Expo getting the (much envied by me) Goofy bracelet that I saw MelR and Sara wearing last year.

[plutosmyfav]

I haven't. We have some at home, I just don't know if I can force it down without gagging. I hate tomatoes.

OK, how about chicken broth, the full salt kind?

[MelRhoads]

Race prep slug! that is me. I am not hydrating! I am packing water bottles :-) I am not trying on my clothes. I am packing. The sunglasses thing reminds me i need the "cat crap" to keep my glasses from fogging, but i haven't gotten it yet!

[aladdinsgirl]

OK, how about chicken broth, the full salt kind?

That's a good idea, I'll try that when I get home. Thanks! I am leaving work in 45 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

Melissa -- I have "fog tech" -- do you want me to bring an extra packet or two to the WISH meet tomorrow? Maybe that will save you a trip to the store?

[aladdinsgirl]

Sad news. My Mom is not allowed to run the half marathon. :guilty: :guilty: :guilty: She went in for a breathing treatment today and her allergist would not clear her to run. She is so sad.

[keenercam]

Krista -- I am so sorry to hear that. I hope she will still be able to make the trip and enjoy her WDW vacation. If anything, maybe it will be a little less exhausting and she can recover without taking any chances on getting much worse. Sending pixiedust: and :goodvibes:

[TXBelle]

I did it on Christmas Eve (I meant running in all my gear with wasitpack fully loaded!)!

I am so glad you edited your post. Definitely TMI if you hadn't. ;) :rotfl:

I will NOT be bringing home that kind of souvenir for WDW. Been there, done that. That's how we got the twins. :rolleyes1 (I know, TMI).

[wtpclc]

What is my wife doing running around with little souvenirs???
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: You don't want to know. Especially since you have removed yourself from our "mess group." :p

MelR - I want to do 5 hours, but I'm so afraid of teh heat and what my recent ilneess may have done. I don't have a clue what to run now.

Mel - lol. My prhase is "Is it Friday yet?" My co-worker is upset because she won't see me really bouncing off the walls tomorrow. :p

Krista - WHat a bummer! I've been praying, but I guess it's not to be. Give her a hug from me. BTW, I hate tomoto juice and raw tomatoes. Love spicey V-8. You may want to try it, when your stomach is feeling ebtter.

Sunny - lol. I almost didn't understand the pale yellow comment. :headache: I'm hoolding steady there too, though.

[MelRhoads]

Cam - the fog tech would be great, but there is no way we are mking the meet fri night. we get into mco at 4pm, so......

I can run foggy. I'll just take my glasses off and run if it gets too bad. I can't see, but i'm not driving or mountain biking or anything like that (although i bike better when i can't see b/c i don't get scared!)

Sunny and Carrie - I almost misunderstood the pale yellow too. I thought it was some terror alert color code :-) (no offense Sunny!!!)

MelR -- I'll put it in my race waist pack and extras in the tote I carry all weekend. When you see me ASK me for it. I promise I will have it. I just may not remember to offer it. :hug:

[aladdinsgirl]

I'm outta here!!! See you all either tomorrow or this weekend!!!!!!!!!!

[wtpclc]

Sunny and Carrie - I almost misunderstood the pale yellow too. I thought it was some terror alert color code :-) (no offense Sunny!!!)
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Bye Krista!! Have a safe trip!!!!

MelR - When do you leave tomorrow? I probably won't have a lot of time to be here otmorrow, but I'd love to know I won't be by myself if I get here. :sad2:

[ohMom]

i'm cross-eyed from reading too fast and i've lost track of who is who

i'll be the blonde asking everyone 'what is your name? what is your username? where are you from?" don't bother telling me again, i'll forget. names and faces are not my strong suit

i'm sooooo avoiding responsibility too......

[MelRhoads]

[keenercam]

Bye CAm!!!!!! HAppy Emergency Hair Cut!!!!!SAfe Travels!!!!

Bye Cam! I got my emergency hair cut last night! Great minds...

Hey, can we bring dry food on the plane? Like a bagel or something? What about a can of soda-- I suppose that's totally out?

[TXBelle]

Sunny- You can bring dry food with you through security and onto the plane. Cans of soda or other drinks can be purchased after you pass through security and brought onto the airplane. No drinks can be taken through security.

[plutosmyfav]

Safe travels everyone!! See you soon!!!!!!

[thndrmatt]

Sigh, guess I'll be the last one posting by the time Saturday rolls around... I must be a sight right now, wearing three layers top and bottom trying to sweat this thing out... Took a nap earlier and I think that just made it worse, going to try fresh sheets tonight. And to top it off I'm wearing my sorcerer's apprentice Mickey hat, hoping it will work some magic. :sick:

[wtpclc]

Oh Matt. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't be whining when you've got tit much worse. :grouphug: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:

[Tiger Lily 03]

Matt, hope you get over this soon.

Emergency hair cut! Well, not only that but the color too for me! Can't let you know that I'm as old as I look. Now It's all better.

[Tiger Lily 03]

Are we there yet?:rotfl: :rotfl:

[princessmomma]

Hellllooooo

It is like walking into an empty room here...

Is anyone still around?

I am off to the airport at 5:30 a.m. Friday. See you all tomorrow!

Colleen

[Tiger Lily 03]

I'm getting ready to call it a night. Leaving early too. Our flight leaves 8:30a.m. so we'll be getting out early.

Keep the home fires burning everyone!

[TXBelle]

Matt- I am so sorry you are not feeling well! Here's some extra PD :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: to get well soon.

I am just checking in one last time before I leave. Our flight is at 9 a.m. tomorrow. I think I am all packed. I had to send DH out to the store to get my Snickers marathon bars. He forgot to get them earlier today. He's been gone 40 minutes. He is coming back right? :confused3 I sure hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those he said he was going out to get Snickers marathon bars and just never came back stories. :rotfl: Ooh, I think I heard the car. Gotta go. See you guys tomorrow (and Matt on Sunday).

[littlegreydonkey]

Hey all - I've only got to post 122, but in case I don't get on here again before Sunday - GOOD LUCK EVERYONE - enjoy every second, take as many photos as you can, pack a tylenol in your race pack to numb anything that hurts on route, and drink like a camel the day before. I can't wait to read everyone's reports on Monday. I'm soooooooo jealous but also so excited for you all - if you can all remember to hug Tigger and Eyeore for me. Oh blimey, I'm weeping again, thought I'd got over the Disney marathon sobfests when I finished the last one but no!!!

Oh, and post 122 was around the caffeine conversation - and it's probably a bit too late to tell you this now, but I interviewed someone about this recently and apparently caffeine only dehydrates you if you don't drink it regularly, if you do, it doesn't have a diuretic effect on the body. Sorry, Christa you can slap me if you like!!! Helen

[wtpclc]

if you can all remember to hug Tigger and Eyeore for me. That I can definitely do!!!! Wish you were comin gwith us Helen!

OK, so here I am. Dh had to be in early adn I couldn't sleep anyway. Geting here well over an hour before I can even dream of anyone coming in is a little depressing, but I can live with it 'cause...

I'm going to Disney World today!!!!!!!

[MelRhoads]

Good morning Carrie! You are up early! I just popped in this morning so you wouldn't feel lonely. seee you soon!

[wtpclc]

:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes
It's great to feel loved!

Thanks MelR! SAfe travels! See ya' real soon!!!

[akasleepingbeauty]

We're still here for a while - got the wedding this morning and then back here to drop off the kids. Headed for the airport around 2 p.m. for our 5 p.m. flight. Hoping to make it to Pleasure Island tonight but since we were up packing until 2 a.m. last night it may not happen.

Wishing everyone safe travels and a great time at the meet this afternoon!

See you all real soon :earsboy:

[andromedaslove]

I feel like I am the only one left!! Looks like it's just me and you Matt, at least until tomorrow AM. We are leaving at 5am to drive down tomorrow morning so Michael can make it to his race. I can't wait to see everyone there, I'll be looking for you on the left hand corner near the porta potties, and I'll be sporting my WISH shirt hoping someone sees me in case I don't see you.

I just got in my last run before Sunday!! 2 miles, nice and easy in about 20 minutes.

Dana

[wtpclc]

I'm still here. I don't leave work until 3.If you're wearing teh shirt, you will be seen! trust me! :rotfl:
