I love your motivation! I probably would have gone shopping too - you NEED gear to run in the cold, so why not?! And no judging about the packing here, I also pack really really early for my trips!

Cute 5K outfit! Love the colors.
And yes, a foam roller is a MUST. I still don't use mine as much as I should, but I can definitely tell a difference when I do. Glad you are getting some benefit out of it!
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!
Going back to read.
First, I just wanted to say how sorry I am about the student you lost. I think running the half for him is an awesome way to honor him. When I did my first Disney 5K, I did it for me, but I also did it to honor my mother. The memories are even more special to me because of that.
I love that you're going to Universal! Is that wrong? I'm dying to see the Harry Potter theming and can't wait to be able to take my family there. Sadly, it is so difficult to work into our Disney trips, I always get sidetracked by all the stuff to do in the World.
Thanks for sharing all your training. As you already know, I'm having knee surgery in a couple of weeks, and it's really nice to live vicariously through you as you train and run!
Looks like this going to be an awesome trip! I look forward to reading more.
At first, I thought I'd make a t-shirt in honor of him, but I want this to be kind of private. So I've decided to write 34 on each of my hands--his basketball jersey number.
The only way I could do it was to throw it at the beginning, but I promise lots of FB pictures and TR pictures!
I hope and pray your surgery goes well. I've been reading up on meniscus tears and man, hon, you have really been in some pain! I'm sorry.
Thanks, Kat!

Although my husband is not the Disney fanatic I am, he is coming around.

Oh, and just so you all know. . .I'm askeered of clowns. But we'll get to that later.
I was encouraged to do so, and put it on YouTube, but I'm not certain I want anyone seeing my version of the double digit dance, which just so happens to be a cross between the chicken and a rump shaker.
O' Dark Thirty in the morning.
I now proudly have this on my truck.
I'm sure my first stop will be Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey hopefully
My husband did something awesome this week. I talked about wanting to walk the 5K with my friend Nicole enough that he registered me for the 5K.
The tutu and tiara are now moved for the 5K with Nicole
My princess half marathon will be run this year in his memory. And for those of you who are teachers, make sure the kids you teach know that you care about them. All of them, even the tough ones. This particular kid was a "tough kid" who became a great one just because he knew people cared about him. It makes a difference in their lives, to love them even when they are the hardest to love. As a matter of fact, I'm convinced those are the ones that need it the most.
On the same vibe as shopping, I got some Bondi bands from the recommendation of the princess half facebook group.
So it's time to start packing. Here is how I do it. About 3 months out, I typically throw everything in a bag. 2 months out, I repack, and determine what I think I will need to still buy. Since I'm at two months out, I'm at the repack segment.
I have three bags--one for the IOA/CSR part of the trip, one for BWV, and one for the races.
And today, I had someone else decide she needed to be in my racing bag:
I have set up a tentative time to meet up with Tink the arrival night that we move over to Boardwalk.
Just wanted to let you know that I am still reading but I have been on my iPod and I really hate to comment when using that because it is so hard and frustrating.
Well look who FINALLY brought her internet-butt over to this here pre-trip.
I figure since mine may not finish/happen/what-have-you, I at least need to make an appearance here, on your sweet lil report.
And for those of you who don't know, allow myself to introduce...myself:
Tinkerbellarella a.k.a. Tink a.k.a. Nicole a.k.a. Nikki a.k.a. She Who Is Eternally Grateful To Have Amanda To Roll Her Across The 5K Finish Line
That's a lot of a.k.a's. I know.
Now...onto what I've missed...
You are NOT an office hag. Belive me. I know some. On a first name basis.
He's a Pat's fan. That's almost as good.
We still crossing our fingers for the "Garden" view as opposed to the "Pool" view then?
Pretty, pretty please re-create this for me. I pay in margaritas from Mexico.
That's about what time I'm getting on the train.
Wait'll you see all of the cool ones they have at the Expo. I have one that says, "Yes, I run like a girl. Try and keep up."
Best. Queue. Ever.
Can't tell you about the ride though. Chickened out. We'd eaten not 40 minutes before and I hadn't taken Bonine (which normally I don't need) and if there weren't 90 signs throughout that line warning about motion sickness there wasn't one. I can't wait to hear how it was.
I LOVE YOU MR. AMANDA!
I need to pick up my tiara.
And take care of my shirt, the details of which change every 6 seconds.
And figure out what capris I'll wear.
And if I'll bring a light zippy hoodie.
Shoot...now I need a To Do list.
Your students are blessed to have you, Amanda. And so am I.
LOVE. THE. SOCKS.
There's this great retailer who was at the Expo a couple of years back that had something along a similar line, but a thinner still meant not to slide all around on your head. I bought two. This year your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to keep me from buying 22.
I am in packing awe.
LOVE!
Are you still coming over to BWV when I arrive to check us in?
Also, I perused the alcoholic menus throughout the WS. I'm prepared to drink in any country but the US and Canada. What can I say? I'm not a beer gal. The other two countries I was worried about were Norway and Germany. Norway has something called Viking Coffee (coffee and Bailey's or Kalhua) and Germany has a Rieseling. Though I know I'll get two drinks in TOPS that night, I have done my research and am, as Scar says is so important, PREPARED.
38 days for me, my friend! 38!!!!!
And it occurs to me to share my plans since they are a little different:
2/21/13-2/26/13: BWV with Amanda
2/26/13-2828/13: POR solo with a request for an Alligator Bayou room
You are just fashionably late.
Ooooo. . .I get to roll you? As in shove/push you? Yeah, as long as you drag me across the finish line for the half.
And Red Sox.
Or the quiet pool. That would be awesome.
Okay, February 21, 2013, I will. When I see you!
Hmmm. . .I should be fine--I like Mission Space.
Sounds like a shopping trip for you, my dear.
Only if you stop me from buying too many t-shirts!
Sure will! Call me when you are on Magical Express and I'll mosey on over to the lobby!

The second full day is my Animal Kingdom/Epcot day, with dinner that night at Tokyo dining.
Third full day is Epcot rope drop and I will get to check out of Coronado Springs and check into Boardwalk Villas with Nikki!
Yes, I have a suitcase just for shoes.
I'll have to take a trip to Basin.
Coming up. . .drinking around the world and baths of ice.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
I love everything about your plans. They're Disney plans. So much better than any other plans.
Congrats on your fastest 5K run! You are fast! I am impressed.
I try.
Oh yes, my friend, you do. I hope they capture THAT on film.
And that's another item for the To Do list - figure out how I'm going to GET to the finish line to see you. I'm not 100% sure if they'll restrict that area to racers and people that registered for the CHEAR squad. Hmmm...
I'm not a baseball fan (or basketball), but I'll take it. I'm a football/hockey kinda gal.
Totally forgot about the quiet pool. That WOULD be awesome.
Me too.
The chicken side.
I think we're going to need a handler at the Expo. LOL!
I don't want to wait 37 more days. Can't we just be doing this NOW?!
Remind me to tell you how I kind of ended up at Tokyo Dining by accident one night for Illuminations.
YAY! And BRRR!
