Nemesis Challenge: No Pain, No Gain. A ½ Marathon 2013 NEW Updates 2/20 NEW

Don't forget, Barry's wife has pointed out that you guys are the worst nemesississes ever.:thumbsup2
Yes she has. Numerous times. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

This was when my leg fell off.
Did it have anything to do with these guys? --> pirate:

Cool! She was obviously excited to be near Delaware. :thumbsup2
Maybe. Or maybe excited she was leaving the general vicinity. :rolleyes2

:scared1: Um...wow. I'm sure there something to say here, but--

SQUIRREL! :squirrel:
aaannnndddddd I thank you! :rotfl2:

Melody's shirt is cute.:thumbsup2
Are you writing these responses or is your DW? :rotfl2:

Seems awfully convenient... :scratchin
It does, doesn't it. :goodvibes

I was looking at him from 100 yards away... waving at me.

Me: But I can say the data on Barry is inaccurate.
CM: How's that Tim?
Me: Well, I just happened to see a Barry do a...
Melody: We!
Me: Uh, sorry, Mel. *We* happened to see Barry do a 4g negative dive.
CM: Where did you see this?
Me: Uh, that's classified.
CM: It's what?
Me: It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Blur because that's what you look like when you run, right?:confused3
Yea.. something like that. ::yes::

How did you get all my quotes to say Andy's SN? :confused3 :rotfl::rotfl:



And you still haven't met one of your first and probably one of the best.

One of these days.... ::yes::

Yes she is beautiful. She's actually always beautiful, but more so when she is radiant with pregnancy.
Awwww thanks Kat.

Heaven help us.
It's all down hill from here.

There you go again, using your kids for your excuses.
Well, what's Mark's excuse?

Oh, I am not touching this one...I'm going to leave it to all of your DISdads!
Yea, this is bound to be good.

How did you like the ME? We really enjoy it and saving on the car rental until the end of our trip when we drive to Marco.
We liked it a lot. It was easy and quick. I just didn't like the feeling of being tied to Disney transportation. Luckily, it was only for a few days.

You'll have to stay there on a future trip. With your growing family, renting a one-bedroom villa is probably a very good idea for the future.
I liked it a lot and would stay there again. :goodvibes

Wow...all those people were running? Incredible.
Something like 25,000 for the half and 18,000 for the full!!!!! :scared1:

It would have been better if it had said timmy
Ummmm NO!

Sounds like this will be very, very interesting.
Of course it will be! :lmao:

Loved using that back entrance to Epcot and a big reason we chose BWV for our December trip this year.
Oh yea. It was really easy to use that. That was the first time we did that.
 
It's not so bad, honest.
I second this statement. Just don't be hurt or sick during the run and you'll be fine. ;)



Here, have some lima beans. :rotfl:
:crazy2: I think I'd rather drink Beverly.



Wow you got to go to Disney??? I have to hear about this trip.
Yea, there are like 3 hours you don't already know about. :lmao:



Bookmakring Now... catching up later.
:welcome: Brian! Hope to see you back here. :sail:



I'm in. Great start! :thumbsup2
:welcome: Paul! Now you can see where I screwed up the run. :lmao:
 


Short Backstory
Short? Come on, what kind of nemesisisisis are you? Backstories need to elaborate! About how your parents didn't care enough about you to even show up to your birth!


I
We've met each other in Disney 3 times before this trip, not because we planned it like that, it just happened that way.
Maybe you didn't plan it that way....:rolleyes1

So after the challenge was on the table and accepted, we both spent close to a year training and preparing for this run. We both ran some 5ks and 10ks to get ready.
I also did an 8k and a 15k. Just wanted to make sure the story was accurate.
It was unbelievable. Every time we fly with the kids the place is a zoo. Figures. Security? Though that in 5 minutes. It might of taken 10 minutes to get from the door of the airport through security total but it was probably less.
Yet if you had brought the kids to the exact same flight, you'd still be waiting in the security line.


I tried to fall asleep on the plane but the captain kept buzzing in and waking me up. The flight was good. I think we just passed the DelMarVa when Melody grabbed my hand and put it on her belly. I felt our daughter kick for the first time. It was so amazing! (She is pregnant for the wise guys)
I can do that trick. Just give me can of Hormel Chili and half a dozen deviled eggs. I can get something inside me kicking real good.

I tried to go back to sleep but no luck. (I'll probably lose my man card for this) I leaned over and started reading what Melody was reading on her iPad. 50 Shades of Gray. LOL I think we read that for a little over an hour when it was time to land. (Just when it was starting to get good.LOL)
I'm sending you a whip for Christmas.

We got to WWoS just before 1pm and the place was an absolute zoo. I had to go into the HP field house to grab my bib and change my corral. While I was waiting for the corral change Barry walked in and was waving to me from the entrance. His kids just ran in the RunDisney kids races and did a great job!
That was the only safe place to be. It was a madhouse down there! (OH, and when I do start my TR, there will be a full description of the kids races, with pictures. Consider that a pre-shameless plug)

He didn't believe me
I believe my words were a bit stronger than that. And not printable on this forum.:rotfl2:

There was a huge wall with every runners name on it. I had to find my name. There it is Tim blur..
I thought that's what was on that wall, but never stopped to look. I wish I had more time to wander the Expo, it was a madhouse and I wanted to get back to meet the family at MK. Next time for sure. :thumbsup2
 
Don't forget, Barry's wife has pointed out that you guys are the worst nemesississes ever.:thumbsup2
Just about every time I call him my nemesis...


This was when my leg fell off.
It grew back.

Me: But I can say the data on Barry is inaccurate.
CM: How's that Tim?
Me: Well, I just happened to see a Barry do a...
Melody: We!
Me: Uh, sorry, Mel. *We* happened to see Barry do a 4g negative dive.
CM: Where did you see this?
Me: Uh, that's classified.
CM: It's what?
Me: It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
I've modified the van of doom since then. I can do a 4.5g negative dive. :rolleyes1
 
Finally!
A chance to catch a Tim TR at the beginning.


Short Backstory

It was back in 2010 when Barry & I declared ourselves nemesis.

So, are you calling Barry short here or implying that he’s got too much “back”story?


So after the challenge was on the table and accepted, we both spent close to a year training and preparing for this run. We both ran some 5ks and 10ks to get ready.

That is a lot of work y’all did.
Impressive to say the least.

And to listen to so many of the other fell’as…
Inspiring.

It ain’t inspiring me, mind you, but I’m still impressed by all the work.


I had a few setbacks which barred me for running for months at a time. My last injury occurred in December.

And that’s one of the reasons why.


My mom was taking the first shift watching our kids- Juliana (6) and Christopher (17m).

Bless her.
Not an option I ever had.



On the way to the gate I had to play with the umbrellas since Juliana wasn't there.

Well… someone had to do it.
It just couldn’t go undone now could it?



Melody and I were standing near the counter discussing if we would end up sitting next to each other when an agent called us over. She gave Melody a pass to be the first group on the plane... even before the A's!

Check it out, an empty plane!

Cool! Sometimes you win.
Kind of them to do that for her.
Lucky for you she allowed you to tag along.


The flight was good. I think we just passed the DelMarVa when Melody grabbed my hand and put it on her belly. I felt our daughter kick for the first time. It was so amazing!

Another of those parenting milestones.
Oh and congrats on the pending increase to the family.


I tried to go back to sleep but no luck. (I'll probably lose my man card for this) I leaned over and started reading what Melody was reading on her iPad. 50 Shades of Gray.

Hummmm…
We may have to call for a vote on that one.



We had to stop at POR then it was on to our home for the next few days- OKW!

Nice…
You did make a point to steer clear of the section of the resort where part of the DDCC was generally creating havoc? Wouldn’t want to get caught up in any kind of dragnet ya’ know.


I ended up in corral B. Sweet. Barry, who was in corral B, texted me and asked me what corral I was in. I told him I was placed in A. He didn't believe me so I broke down and told him B. He still didn't believe me. LOL

:lmao:
What kind of nemesis would?


I had to go get my shirt and goodie bag in a different building. The Josten's Center. The line was close to a 1/2 mile long. It is hard to tell but the line started when we walked out of the HP building...

That’s like being stuck in the standby line for TSM in late afternoon during Spring Break after all the FastPasses are gone and with an entire Brazilian tour group ahead of you!

Did you at least get to shoot at something once you got to the front of the line?


There was a huge wall with every runners name on it. I had to find my name. There it is Tim blur..

My name’s Obfuscate.
I’m glad to meet you there Mr. Blur.




Up next... a meet and the pre-race meal

Sure do wish I could have been part of the whole convention, but I’ll have to settle for following a few good TRs.

Looking forward to tagging along if you’ll have me.
 


Ok, I'm going to be reading along with you. Will there be penguins?

I tried to fall asleep on the plane but the captain kept buzzing in and waking me up. The flight was good. I think we just passed the DelMarVa when Melody grabbed my hand and put it on her belly. I felt our daughter kick for the first time. It was so amazing! (She is pregnant for the wise guys)

That is so cute that your little girl kicked you, she must be Team Barry...
 
Short? Come on, what kind of nemesisisisis are you? Backstories need to elaborate! About how your parents didn't care enough about you to even show up to your birth!
WOW. Did I strike a nerve?:rotfl2:

I linked the PTR if someone really cared to read the backstory. :coffee:

Maybe you didn't plan it that way....:rolleyes1
So are you saying you did? You just can't go a year without seeing my wonderful face?

I also did an 8k and a 15k. Just wanted to make sure the story was accurate.
Why don't you get writing your version of the story? :confused3

Yet if you had brought the kids to the exact same flight, you'd still be waiting in the security line.
::yes::

I can do that trick. Just give me can of Hormel Chili and half a dozen deviled eggs. I can get something inside me kicking real good.
:crazy2:


I'm sending you a whip for Christmas.
No thanks.. I already have one. Do I need to remind you?

That was the only safe place to be. It was a madhouse down there! (OH, and when I do start my TR, there will be a full description of the kids races, with pictures. Consider that a pre-shameless plug)
See, I knew you'd write one.

I believe my words were a bit stronger than that. And not printable on this forum.:rotfl2:
Yes. Yes, they were. But I'm keeping it 'G' rated... for the kiddies.

I thought that's what was on that wall, but never stopped to look. I wish I had more time to wander the Expo, it was a madhouse and I wanted to get back to meet the family at MK. Next time for sure. :thumbsup2
I missed 2 isles of vendors. I was trying to find what I needed and get out. Maybe if I can in on Thursday morning instead of Friday, it wouldn't of been so crazy.

Just about every time I call him my nemesis...
She likes me! :lmao::lmao:

I've modified the van of doom since then. I can do a 4.5g negative dive. :rolleyes1
Excuuuuuuuse me. I guess I stand corrected. :mic:
 
Finally!
A chance to catch a Tim TR at the beginning.
:welcome: Rob! Nice to have you here!

So, are you calling Barry short here or implying that he’s got too much “back”story?
Yes! :lmao:

That is a lot of work y’all did.
Impressive to say the least.
Thanks. We tried to get a few more people to hop on board but they refused.

Now look at 'em! :lmao::lmao:

And to listen to so many of the other fell’as…
Inspiring.

It ain’t inspiring me, mind you, but I’m still impressed by all the work.
:rotfl2:

And that’s one of the reasons why.
It wasn't that bad but just when the running was easy and getting *GULP* fun, then I was sidelined for weeks at a time. The pain wasn't the crappy part, not being able to run was. :rolleyes:

Bless her.
Not an option I ever had.
Sorry to hear this Rob. :grouphug:

Well… someone had to do it.
It just couldn’t go undone now could it?
That's what I thought. Although, other people in the airport were staring at me. :lmao:

Another of those parenting milestones.
Oh and congrats on the pending increase to the family.
Thank you!

Hummmm…
We may have to call for a vote on that one.
All in favor.... :wave2:

Nice…
You did make a point to steer clear of the section of the resort where part of the DDCC was generally creating havoc? Wouldn’t want to get caught up in any kind of dragnet ya’ know.
I haven't gotten that far yet but I will say I was close to the bachelor pad.

That’s like being stuck in the standby line for TSM in late afternoon during Spring Break after all the FastPasses are gone and with an entire Brazilian tour group ahead of you!
Speaking of Brazilians, they were out in full force over the weekend. :headache:

Did you at least get to shoot at something once you got to the front of the line?
Well, money shot out of my wallet. :crazy2:

My name’s Obfuscate.
I’m glad to meet you there Mr. Blur.
Want me to blur a few more names for you? Then you can tell all your friends you were on that wall too! pixiedust:

Sure do wish I could have been part of the whole convention, but I’ll have to settle for following a few good TRs.
Good TRs? From this group of misfits? I think you have your hopes set too high. :rotfl2:

Looking forward to tagging along if you’ll have me.
I already :welcome:D you... Will a :cheer2: and a :flower3: do?



Ok, I'm going to be reading along with you. Will there be penguins?
:welcome: Randall! Actually, there will be penguins in the next update with a side of beatdown! :rotfl2::rotfl2:

That is so cute that your little girl kicked you, she must be Team Barry...
:rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2: NO!




I'll take a might over a maybe! :rotfl2:

Hope my appearance doesn't scare off your readers!

Ok Brian - I set you up good.... :thumbsup2
Will you take a most definitely? :lmao:
 
I'm in! So sweet that the baby kicked for the first time on the plane. I think its a sign she wants to go to WDW when she's born! :)

BTW, you know its just easier to DRIVE 13.1 miles, right? ;)

Jill in CO

Truer words have never been spoken... :thumbsup2
 
In!

Sounds like this baby is psychic. It told you that you were getting kicked before you even landed in Florida.
 
You felt your daughter kick??? You found out what it is :goodvibes

Did you go to Disney without the little princess and prince :eek:

:welcome: Jill! I am trying to talk Melody into using our APs one more time before they expire in Nov. Hopefully she gives in....

BTW, you know its just easier to DRIVE 13.1 miles, right? ;)
It is easier, but we are men. We are stubborn. :rotfl::rotfl:



I hope none of the penguins were harmed in the beatdown.
I can either confirm or deny injured penguins. :duck:



Truer words have never been spoken... :thumbsup2
:rotfl:



In!

:welcome: Aaron!

You too? I didn't know you sided with Team Barry. :sad2:



You felt your daughter kick??? You found out what it is :goodvibes
::yes:: princess:

Did you go to Disney without the little princess and prince :eek:
Yep. We left them home with our moms. It was weird being there without them.
 
This is going to be great reading. Congratulations on having another Princess. Melody is beautiful as always.
 
Joining in on the TR! I'm hoping to run the full marathon next year so I'm interested in hearing about your half experience!
 
Limping on in. :rotfl:

Doing what I can to catch up.



Caught up. The airport is always empty when you DON'T have the kids.:sad2:



Yes the expo was less crowded Thursday.... Walked right in and had some space to walk around too. Still did not see that wall... I guess others were looking for their name and I just walked on by....


I think I had the same CM at check in. Need to look on that camera for the picture. :rolleyes:
