Oh fun a DIS meet! I hope you have a wonderful time!
Thank you - we had so much FUN!
Glad you get to meet her. Tell her i said HI!
I didn't see this until after - but hopefully she saw it?
Have a great DISmeet!
Thank you - I did!
Have fun at your Dis meet today. Sorry about the tech issues don't you just love computers? We got new computers at work but they didn't install the program for doing cell phone contracts. We called tech support. Now we just have to wait til they fix it.
I'm glad you're not having problems with dizziness after running. My daughter did the color run on Friday and had a great time. She walked it because she can walk faster than she can run. She was just happy to finish and not be last.
Have a great day.

Thanks Liz - it was so much fun!
Yah - there's always issues, I think. It's hard sometimes. There's still stuff on our old system that Allison and I NEED - but I hate to bug Josh about it when he has so much on his plate right now.
Thanks - It's been a relief, I still have a feeling of dread though - that this isn't over.
Congrats to her!!! How FUN! That is awesome!
You too - thank you!
Hope you had a fun Disney.
I used to keep my old expired license in my arm band as well as a credit card that I had 2 of so I always had id with me when I ran.
A lot of the running tracker programs let you share you location with friend. I think it might be part of the paid part of map my run and run keeper.
I did - thanks!!!
That's a good idea - I wonder where I put mine?
Hmmm... I'll have to look into that. Now that I have my Garmin - I've stopped using the running app on my phone. But if it had that feature - it would be nice.
I had a great day today with you D~ and your BFF. After our great DIS meet, Ulf (Wolf) and I looked around at MOA. MOA is huge and we had some trouble navigating around at first. I managed to buy this years first Christmas gift. I bought a Rubik's cube looking like a brain at Marbles The Brain Store for my brother as a Christmas gift. He has the normal Rubik's Cube, but that's not a problem to solves since the solution can be found on the internet. Maybe he will have a harder time solving this new cube. We went window shopping (at least that's what we call it in Norway when you look in stores without buying anything) in many stores. I was hoping to find a Christmas gift for my youngest sister that likes Jack Skellington from a Nightmare before Christmas. But The Disney Store didn't have anything Jack Skellington. I'm guessing he can only be found around Christmas (I've always managed to find Jack Skellington at the Disney Store in London, UK in late November and December) and Christmas shopping hasn't started yet. So I will have to figure out something else to buy for her this year since I probably won't go to London this year because of this HUGE USA trip We headed back to our hotel at 4pm.
We didn't want to drive anywhere to get dinner because of Rush hour so we had dinner at the hotel.
Tomorrow we will continue our road trip and go to Madison, Wisconsin where my family and I lived for a year back in 1985/86. It's going to be an interesting going back there after all these years.
I had so much fun yesterday - it was truly a joy to meet you and Ulf... I could have stayed and talked to you all day - I enjoyed it immensely and I was sad to have to leave.
I am glad you were able to find some gifts - Yes, the MOA is large, but I am glad you were able to find your way around. I didn't even think of that - I am there so much, I sometimes don't realize how easy it is to lose your bearings inside. I am glad you were able to find your way though - and find a few gifts in the process.
I worked for a little while when I got home, but I couldn't resist reading the book you gave me... It is beautiful and it was so fun reading about your city - I hope to visit one day. Thank you so much!
Wishing you safe travels today and for the rest of your trip - I am excited to hear more about it and the many adventures you'll have! Thanks for taking the time to meet me... It was so much fun and I hope that one day, we will meet again.
Yay! I think it helps so much when you have something specific that you're training for.
Awesome! Getting packages is so exciting. I just wish someone else would pay for them. I really like the stuff you picked out. Looking winter-ready!
I hope you had a great lunch today at your meet-up!
I think so too... I was online last night looking for a nice 5k Halloween run to do, but nothing really interesting... There are a few up in the Cities, but I'd much rather stay in the suburbs.... Maybe I'll skip it this year - but I really wanna dress up. LOL And a 5k at the end of Oct, between the one I am doing in mid-Sept and the 8k Thanksgiving Day run, would be perfect, IMO. Oh well. Now, I am looking for something fun for a Christmas run... We'll see.
Yes, it would be nice if someone else would pay for this stuff. Running is not a cheap sport. In my defense though - In my years of getting healthier, I have spent next to nothing on sporting equipment, I've used what I've had. So... Maybe it's about time that I put a little bit of $$ into something? LOL Just trying to justify.
Thanks - it was so much fun!

Yesterday was so busy and so FUN!
I worked out right away....
Then I got ready....
Dismeet ahead
I was literally RUNNING out the door - 10 min late - those that know me, I am rarely late.
On the way to BFF's I was nearly in 2 different car accidents with the same person!!!! Grrr... I was shaking by the time I got to BFF's house - so I made her drive to the MOA.
We met Lillian and Ulf at 10 am... Just the sweetest and nicest people ever. I enjoyed every moment we were together... It was so fun hearing about her trip so far, and also talking about our different cultures- how they are the same, yet different. I think I could have sat there and talked to them all day. We spent some time in Starbucks, and then we went to lunch at Bubba Gumps. It was just a lot of fun - I hope that one day I can see them both again, it was truly a delight to meet them.
Lillian made me the most adorable hand-made mitten key chains (I am wearing them on the ribbon around my neck in the above photos... I didn't want to lose them) - they are so thoughtful and so cute! I just love them! And the book she gave me about her city... I literally read the whole thing last night - it was so interesting to read about it - especially since she lives there... A beautiful city and just really beautiful people. If any of you get the chance to meet her while she is here (or in the future) - I would jump at the chance. Honestly - I wanted to hop in her car and go with them. LOL They have seen and done so much more than I ever have - it's just amazing and fascinating to talk about it.
Again - Lillian - I am just so happy to have finally met you! I wish you the absolute best! And I am so lucky to have such a good friend (Ulf too) across the world.
After coming home... I went straight to work for a while... I made a little progress - but the book Lillian gave me, was calling to me... So, I skipped out of work for the rest of the day, and went to read her book before making dinner. Shhhh.... LOL
I made some sort of ground beef/green pepper/onion/tomato/rice concoction - I was actually pretty tasty.
Then I sat on my tablet for the rest of the night... Like a slug.
Victoria auctioned some of her drawings in my last auction... She did amazingly well and everything of her's sold. She also managed to get a couple requests... So here is what she's been working on for the last few days... I am continually impressed by her drawing ability. Seriously - check out the tires on LmQ... And his "95" - she said that was the hardest part, shading the 95. I just love seeing her work, I am very proud of her talent.
Disney update
In case you all want another hint at which resort we are staying at... Suzi was kind enough to send me, not one, but TWO hints last night.
So... Just in case these photos seal the deal for you - and you know where I am staying... Hush... I am purposely staying OUT of the Resorts section on The Dis, because I don't want to ruin it for myself.
Eeeep.... I am just so excited to have a toilet where we are staying. Hopefully there's a bed too.
Today.... I will be heavy lifting shortly... Then a run tonight.
I will be working all day, in between. I am hoping to finish my current bag and get it out in the mail. Then I want to start on a side project again - my life is endless side projects at the moment.
I hope all of you have a fantastic day!!! Prayers and good thoughts go out to all of you!
