20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 4

[Scott H]

Kelli you are lucky you weren’t in Cheyenne, I was there all last week, got home late last night ,and may have to return will find out later today. Have a good cruise.

The new smilies are pretty kewl.

EE sounds really great. I was very impressed with the queue area. Very good props. Including pressure cookers. Wish we lived closer or had better airfare. 69 weeks to go.

Peter and Jenn are also sailing.

You all are luck to be warm –5 this AM.

You don't ACTUALLY walk to Disney but you go on MapQuest and find out how far it is from your house to somewhere in WDW - I used the address or Coronado Springs...it will tell you how many miles it is...then you challenge yourself to walk that many miles before your trip to be able to say you "walked" to Disney. I will forward the PM that Celeste sent me with all the other neat stuff....

You can do it Georgie...join us and "Walk" to Disney!!!!!

Too bad we can't actually walk to Disney- that would be fun, but at a few miles per day, it would take forever.


Scott said he and Lynn might join us- it will be fun with more of us! Some people give themselves until the end of the year, some people do less time. It just depends on what your goal is.

I REALLY would encourage people to do the half marathon next year, it really was VERY fun. I kept on tearing up while I was walking through Magic Kindgom, it was amazing. I am really glad that I did it. I am not in great shape and am not a runner- 13.2 miles is VERY doable...please consider. It is also fun to run around the park wearing your medal.

Well , I guess I'm in one of those moods. It occurs to me, that you must have a star named after you, since you are a "Celesteal being". teehee.

Okay...since I know Celeste is watching....the sun came out and it warmed up a bit so I went for walk....almost an hour....I drove my walking route when I got home to see how far I walked and it was 5.7 km or 3.54 miles!!!!! I also found out I short changed myself for yesterday's walk...it was 3.8 km or 2.36 miles!!!! gotta count those extra .36 miles....

Celeste...do you know what the date is for the 1/2 marathon?????

Congrats on getting out and walking....I am going to crosstrain tonight and do step aerobics- so I will be referencing that chart to figure out how that translates into miles.

Of course I do, I am already registered for the half! It is Saturday, January 6, 2007. There are many ways to do it~ you can just pay and run/walk or you can do it for charity. I actually got an email from someone from the 11 night cruise whose daughter did it and they are from Canada and they volunteered giving out chocolate at mile 6. They are going again next year as well, I think their daughter is going to do the full. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me or send me a PM. I PROMISE it will be worth the time in coming down- it's an experience like no other.

Here is the website: Disney Marathon

There are also a few different boards under the WISH section of the Dis. I am currently chatting on the Wk of Jan 22 WISH/running club....but I know there are many others. I believe there was a large get together and a breakfast at the last one.

One last thing- if people do want to do the marathon, I can send you info on training. (Which I didn't do last time, but WILL do this time.)

Sent you a PM on my name.

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Thanks for the information Celeste

I will have to pass on the half marathon for 2007 due to lack of vacation time from work....maybe 2008...that will give me time to lose my weight and get on track for less than the required 16 minute mile. Is the 1/2 marathon and marathon the same weekend every year????

I wouldn't mind the training information....I will send you a PM with my regaular email address.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

I will be happy to join you all and walk to Disney!! It's only 210 miles for me!! Hmmmm if I walk from the MouseHouse it's only a quarter mile!! In that case.. I'm done! I walked around Wal-Mart earlier...

Joe and I are planning on doing the half next year. Missed this year due to my uh.. horse incident.... but we'll be back in 2007. Come on Elaine.. you can do it!!

How doyou get pictures into My Pictures?
Go here>http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/index.php

I think you have to re-register your name (as in DisneyPinDiva).
Whe you place pictures into it, you can access them thru MyPictures......
sometimes. I have a lot of trouble with it. Doesn't work for me very well. May be a pop-up blocker problem or a firewall one.
Sometimes it's "Server Busy"
Don't know what the problem is. Not that important to me to really find out.

Come down Thursday night or Friday afternoon and come home Sunday! Only one day- heck you could call in sick. Did I just say that? Except then you couldn't tell your friends about your accomplishment...so that wouldn't be any fun. Do you have an office- they have great placques for your office.

13.2 miles. (21.3 kM for Elaine)
Doable?

Actually, I may consider it. I figure that it's worth a try. After all DPD did it.

There was a guy here locally that did BOTH the full and the half. Don't know him, but that was quite an accomplishment.
