2008 Disneyland Half - Who's Going?

[mkymsehi]

Hmmm, just curious...how far is everyone running these days? With a little under 2 months left to train how is everyone doing? I hate to admit, but I haven't even started running yet. I just went back the gym this morning (after a month lay off) and I plan on doing some light jogging tonight...maybe ....but I have been doing a lot of road biking and my cardio is up to par...I just need to get some miles on my new shoes.

Yes, pack all your running gear in a carry on...just in case.

SLACKER, LOL.

Hi guys, Loggin in there are several of us dissers from SoCal doing the 5K this year and our kids are doing the kid's race.

Hey ScottH! Good to see you over here, you've got a big cruise coming up don't you?

There are plenty of stores if you head south on Harbor Blvd. If you don't have a car this trip we can come and pick you up to take you to the store.

 

[Lynn G]

Kelly, we may take you up on the offer of a ride to the store, we like to pick up some gatorade and bananas. Yes, we have the Mexican Rivera 10th Anniversary Cruise coming up in a couple of weeks. Then we also have the 5 night Castaway Cay double dip right after the race! We will be taking the redeye out of LAX to Orlando, and hopefully Peter will be picking us up at 6am at the airport and taking us to the ship, as we will have not had any sleep since 3:30am the morning before!!! Good to see you over here on this site!

Great Susie, looks like you two will be the first at the CCI then the rest. If they can pull it off maybe the WISHers could have rooms near each other. Pat and Jim are getting there Friday.

Mooshu: I'm up to 9 miles and have 10 on schedule for this Sunday. I'm sure you will do fine according to Jeff.

 

[edna mode]

Hi Lynn, I'll make sure you have all my numbers and we'll make arrangements! Are you spending any time here before or after the anniversary cruise or just a quick trip in and out?

 

[Mooshu]

SLACKER, LOL.

hehehe....at least I admit it.

I'm getting kind of nervous with not much time left to train. I'm thinking of doing a run walk program this year, I've been reading Jeff Galloway's marathon program. It seems if I'm on a 9 minute a mile pace...I can run 4 minutes and walk 1 minute. The walking part sounds doable

I'll field this one, pretty much in and out, a Grocery trip run would be great.

Kelly, we are actually arriving on Friday the 29th, doing the 5K on Sat, doing the 1/2 on Sun, and flying out that evening for the 5 day cruise out of Port Canaveral, so as Scott says, it is pretty much and in and out, we are not planning on having park passes.

WHEW, I posted on the TA thread about anyone wanting to get together for dinner that weekend? I'll email Shari too.

Hey folks, did you see that the DL 1/2 is now full?!

My husband decided to sign up last minute right before it filled up. So, we'll now be running it together. I'm also doing the 5K and my daughter is doing the kids run.

Casey - I am doing the 5k and 1/2 and have my daughter signed up for the kids race as well. How old is your DD? Maybe they'll be in the same race!

Check out Mouseplanet article. There is a new shopping/dining mall near the Disneyland Resort.

It's South-East of California Adventure's Pumba parking lot, on Katella.

It just had a soft opening around the 4th of July.

Jeff: Check out this link which has a great map of its location.

Thanks Robert, I saw the map after I originally posted.

According to Mapquest, it's 1 mile from the Disneyland gates. I used 1313 Harbor Blvd. to 1321 W. Katella to map the distance.

I guess it's walking distance, but then again, I'll have a car.

Cool! My daughter is 5, so she'll be in the age 4-6 running group. How old is your daughter?

My daughter already told me she wants to run the race in a running skirt like I do. So, I got her one of the Champion sport skirts in the girls section at Target.

Casey - glad you DH made it just in time.

I think I have everyone listed on the roster. If I don't have your name, PLEASE let me know and my sincerest apologies in advance.

Scott and Lynn - I am jealous! Color me green with envy. Two cruises this summer?

That is so funny! My DD is 4 so they'll be in the same group...maybe even in the same skirt! I did the same thing...I bought her the black Champion one at Target too! Even bought the little white tank to match!

OK, I have got my packing list started and geting that all together.

Question for the ladies, Does a purse/bigger type tote count as a carryon luggage?? Had anyproblems with taking a big purse/tote and a carryon piece of luggage??

Thanks everyone,
