It's tempting, and not far from where I live. The thing I have to work out first is scheduling. It's the weekend of my daughter's birthday, we will have a new puppy by then, and I'm not sure where Hubby will be (fishing season starts soon). But I'm checking it out ;) Thanks!

THAT'S what I'm feeling! I can't believe it's all been done! I got back on the elliptical, but it's just not the same now! waaaahhhh I feel like my purpose is gone! So what's next then? Well, I still need to FINISH the 1/2 so I joined a running clinic (probably should have been my first...

I don't think the timing will work out for me to do it again in 2013, but I have my eye on 2014. If it becomes possible, I'll do it again in 2013. I have absolutely no regrets about the experience. I learned a lot about myself. With the experience of the first race behind me, I will take...

Thank you John and Lisa. I was so motivated by wanting the medal that I was worried about this being a 1 time thing. Happily, it is just the beginning! Seeing Rachel Booth (the winner) flying back to the finish when I was at mile 2 was a sight. Her feet barely touched the ground and she...

Thanks Debbieandroo! My daughter is amazing. I'm so proud of her, and so very very blessed to be her Mom! I didn't reconnect with the lady we helped. I looked her up in the results. It looks like she made it to 10k at least and for that she should be very proud!

This is a lot longer than it probably needs to be. I'm sorry. I really don't know how to be brief LOL I have highlighted the part about getting swept so you don’t have to read the whole thing if you’re not interested in reading a novel! We arrived in WDW on Thursday in the early afternoon...

Already got my eye on 2014 for sure. Maybe 2013 but I'm not sure we can afford to take our daughter out of school at that time because she's in grade 12 next year. If her grades are good and her college applications are already done we may do it. We will see. The point is though, I'm proud of...

Thanks Hunner. I did not finish. So I guess it's up to me to share the sweep bus experience :rotfl: I'm traveling home today and this wifi sucks so I will post a full report when I get settled at home. I'm so happy for all you Princesses that did finish! Meg blew past me like a breeze...

That seems soooo long ago! Yes, thank you Dreamer for putting this out there. Your posts, and those that followed, were the inspiration I needed to register for a race I wanted to do more than I've ever wanted to do anything. With your passion, and John's great advice, and the support of so...

AKL is the Main Building (Jambo House) at this resort the DVC rooms are all on the 5th floor. This is a larger resort and has 2 table service restaurants, 1 counter service restaurant and a large store. The only different thing I know that you would be elegible for is if you book concierge...

Hey Martha! How id dyou feel after your 14 mile walk? I'm SO impressed that you got that long one done before the race! You'll have no problem on race day! You've already done the distance! Did you get your waiver and bib number yet? If you're starting in Corral G I'd love to meet up if...

We are bib 22244 and 22245. Please do find us and say hello! We arrive Thursday. We're hitting the expo Friday and our travelling companions' child is doing the kids 1 mile on Saturday. I'm excited and nervous, but at this point, all I can do is start the race, give it my all, and hope...

Thanks so much Megan. We have 2 cats also, and over the years have had to put down 3 others. I've never come home from the loss of a kitty to no kitty. Coming home to no dog has been awful! I miss our boy so much more than I expected (and I was expecting it to be difficult). Happy news...

Been a very off week. I had a great walk on Monday and my confidence was boosted. The weather seems to be taking a turn towards real winter. However, worse than that, our 11 yr old puppy stopped eating :( Long story short, he's very ill and I've been very pre-occupied with him, and supporting...

Yesterday I did a 7 mile walk. Consistent pace, comfortable. I can't walk any faster, I'd have to jog. That wouldn't be such a bad thing, except it feels awful when I hit the ground. But the walking is good. When I got home, I read Lady's message that the waivers are posted. So then I...

:cheer2:

My DH woke me up early this morning to join him for breakfast at our favourite restaurant and to run a few errands. By the time we got back home, the sun was out and shining, blue skies and no wind. The sidewalks have been dry for over a week, so I changed into more comfortable layers, dragged...

So SuzySharp, how was your race today?! I can't wait to read all your details!

I have officially given up on the weather here! It was supposed to be warm and clear this week and it's been damp and cold and either raining or snowing all week! I kept up with the short and fast workouts on the elliptical in the meantime. It was supposed to be an amazing +4 here today...

30 Days til the fun begins! How's everyone doing? This week I'm working on picking up some speed, and recovery. I've been doing 2 mile workouts on the elliptical, trying to keep the pace consistent rather than doing the walk/run pace. I'm happy with how it feels. Hoping to get out...
