I'm in. Great start!
Scott! You might make an appearance in this TR...I'm in!
I gave you a heads up! Did you read the post on my other TR?Thanks for the heads up.
Now I guess I'll go back and read.
Hey Justin!I'm in. Interested to see how well you remember things.
Yes she has. Numerous times.Don't forget, Barry's wife has pointed out that you guys are the worst nemesississes ever.
Did it have anything to do with these guys? -->This was when my leg fell off.
Maybe. Or maybe excited she was leaving the general vicinity.Cool! She was obviously excited to be near Delaware.
aaannnndddddd I thank you!Um...wow. I'm sure there something to say here, but--
SQUIRREL!
Are you writing these responses or is your DW?Melody's shirt is cute.
It does, doesn't it.Seems awfully convenient...
Yea.. something like that.Blur because that's what you look like when you run, right?
And you still haven't met one of your first and probably one of the best.
Awwww thanks Kat.Yes she is beautiful. She's actually always beautiful, but more so when she is radiant with pregnancy.
It's all down hill from here.Heaven help us.
Well, what's Mark's excuse?There you go again, using your kids for your excuses.
Yea, this is bound to be good.Oh, I am not touching this one...I'm going to leave it to all of your DISdads!
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.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.
I liked it a lot and would stay there again.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.
Something like 25,000 for the half and 18,000 for the full!!!!!Wow...all those people were running? Incredible.
Ummmm NO!It would have been better if it had said timmy
Of course it will be!Sounds like this will be very, very interesting.
Oh yea. It was really easy to use that. That was the first time we did that.Loved using that back entrance to Epcot and a big reason we chose BWV for our December trip this year.
I second this statement. Just don't be hurt or sick during the run and you'll be fine.It's not so bad, honest.
I think I'd rather drink Beverly.Here, have some lima beans.
Yea, there are like 3 hours you don't already know about.Wow you got to go to Disney??? I have to hear about this trip.
Brian! Hope to see you back here.Bookmakring Now... catching up later.
Paul! Now you can see where I screwed up the run.I'm in. Great start!
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!Short Backstory
Maybe you didn't plan it that way....We've met each other in Disney 3 times before this trip, not because we planned it like that, it just happened that way.
I also did an 8k and a 15k. Just wanted to make sure the story was accurate.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.
Yet if you had brought the kids to the exact same flight, you'd still be waiting in the security line.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.
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 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'm sending you a whip for Christmas.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)
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)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!
I believe my words were a bit stronger than that. And not printable on this forum.He didn't believe me
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.There was a huge wall with every runners name on it. I had to find my name. There it is Tim blur..
Just about every time I call him my nemesis...Don't forget, Barry's wife has pointed out that you guys are the worst nemesississes ever.
It grew back.This was when my leg fell off.
I've modified the van of doom since then. I can do a 4.5g negative dive.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.
Short Backstory
It was back in 2010 when Barry & I declared ourselves nemesis.
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 had a few setbacks which barred me for running for months at a time. My last injury occurred in December.
My mom was taking the first shift watching our kids- Juliana (6) and Christopher (17m).
On the way to the gate I had to play with the umbrellas since Juliana wasn't there.
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!
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!
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.
We had to stop at POR then it was on to our home for the next few days- OKW!
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
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...
There was a huge wall with every runners name on it. I had to find my name. There it is Tim blur..
Up next... a meet and the pre-race meal
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)
Scott! You might make an appearance in this TR...
WOW. Did I strike a nerve?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!
So are you saying you did? You just can't go a year without seeing my wonderful face?Maybe you didn't plan it that way....
Why don't you get writing your version of the story?I also did an 8k and a 15k. Just wanted to make sure the story was accurate.
Yet if you had brought the kids to the exact same flight, you'd still be waiting in the security line.
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.
No thanks.. I already have one. Do I need to remind you?I'm sending you a whip for Christmas.
See, I knew you'd write one.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)
Yes. Yes, they were. But I'm keeping it 'G' rated... for the kiddies.I believe my words were a bit stronger than that. And not printable on this forum.
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.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.
She likes me!Just about every time I call him my nemesis...
Excuuuuuuuse me. I guess I stand corrected.I've modified the van of doom since then. I can do a 4.5g negative dive.
Rob! Nice to have you here!Finally!
A chance to catch a Tim TR at the beginning.
Yes!So, are you calling Barry short here or implying that hes got too much backstory?
Thanks. We tried to get a few more people to hop on board but they refused.That is a lot of work yall did.
Impressive to say the least.
And to listen to so many of the other fellas
Inspiring.
It aint inspiring me, mind you, but Im still impressed by all the work.
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.And thats one of the reasons why.
Sorry to hear this Rob.Bless her.
Not an option I ever had.
That's what I thought. Although, other people in the airport were staring at me.Well someone had to do it.
It just couldnt go undone now could it?
Thank you!Another of those parenting milestones.
Oh and congrats on the pending increase to the family.
All in favor....Hummmm
We may have to call for a vote on that one.
I haven't gotten that far yet but I will say I was close to the bachelor pad.Nice
You did make a point to steer clear of the section of the resort where part of the DDCC was generally creating havoc? Wouldnt want to get caught up in any kind of dragnet ya know.
Speaking of Brazilians, they were out in full force over the weekend.Thats 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!
Well, money shot out of my wallet.Did you at least get to shoot at something once you got to the front of the line?
Want me to blur a few more names for you? Then you can tell all your friends you were on that wall too!My names Obfuscate.
Im glad to meet you there Mr. Blur.
Good TRs? From this group of misfits? I think you have your hopes set too high.Sure do wish I could have been part of the whole convention, but Ill have to settle for following a few good TRs.
I already D you... Will a and a do?Looking forward to tagging along if youll have me.
Randall! Actually, there will be penguins in the next update with a side of beatdown!Ok, I'm going to be reading along with you. Will there be penguins?
NO!That is so cute that your little girl kicked you, she must be Team Barry...
Will you take a most definitely?I'll take a might over a maybe!
Hope my appearance doesn't scare off your readers!
Ok Brian - I set you up good....
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
Jill! I am trying to talk Melody into using our APs one more time before they expire in Nov. Hopefully she gives in....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!
It is easier, but we are men. We are stubborn.BTW, you know its just easier to DRIVE 13.1 miles, right?
I can either confirm or deny injured penguins.I hope none of the penguins were harmed in the beatdown.
Truer words have never been spoken...
Aaron!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
Yep. We left them home with our moms. It was weird being there without them.Did you go to Disney without the little princess and prince
