Hey everyone!

Becky - you had asked what everyone's goals are for this race. Sorry to say, I just want to finish this one. However, I am going to try to do a PR for the WDW half. By the way, I think I ave a bunch of pics of you and your sister (?) from the WDW half. I need to send you those.

zwoman - Did you sign up for the 5k?

Three more weeks! Three more weeks! Three more weeks!!!!!!!

 

[Lexxiefern]

Susie - Did Steve tell you we waited in the corral with him before the half in January? (your DH is Steve right? LOL) He was funny, we enjoyed talking with him. I would love to see the pics you have!

3 Weeks from right now and I will be in Texas waiting on my connecting flight to LA!!!!

We've run into some snags that may lead to our not participating. First - our flight does not get into Long Beach Airport until Friday night at 8:30, so we will arrive in DL too late to pick up the registration packets (especially for our two younger boys who were to run the 5K). Second - the family we were to travel with will not be coming due to health issues, so we have no one to attend to the younger two boys while DH, oldest DS and I do the 1/2Marathon. Lastly, there is a strong chance DH will not be able to get the time off work as he was called for Jury Duty this week which means the work he has to do in China has to be postponed until after Jury Duty is over - he was originally scheduled to return from China on the 28th, so that we could leave the next day to fly to DL. With so many strikes going against us, I think we may have to just eat the financial loss and post pone until next year.

Too bad everything is unravelling for your plans.

I did see people at the Goofy 2008, picking up other friend's registrations. They had signed affidavits and the waivers, and were telling the volunteers that the person they were picking up for, were not arriving in time for the packet pick up at the expo. I think they allowed it, but don't quote me. Never hurts to try.

Now you just need to find someone to pick up for you.

my DH and I will be at Candy Cane Inn checking in on 8/29 and leaving on the 1st...

 

[dsnyfan21]

Yeah More for Candy Cane Inn. I think Pat is getting there first and is asking if we can have rooms near each other. I will be there Friday and Saturday night.

Actually I think Susie and her DH are arriving first - on Thursday. DH Jim and I get in on Friday morning. We'd be glad to request rooms close together, and we can all walk over to the race start Sunday morning if you want.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Sounds cool Pat, How early or late do you want to walk over. I am so glad I will be close and don't have to get up to get on the monorail at 3:30am.!!!!!
I sent a PM to Susie.

Tracy

 

[dsnyfan21]

Three Weeks until the start of the Disneyland Half Marathon!!!!! ​

--are you excited yet?--

Getting very excited here! A little nervous too since most the races I tend to do are super small in size. All my 5 year old is talking about is meeting the Princesses, too.

 

[Mooshu]

I can't wait to get to Disneyland, but running...not so much. LOL I haven't been training as much as I should as and I can feel it!!!

Mkymsehi can you add Julie to the list.

Tracy, I'll have to ask Jim if he remembers how long it took us to walk over to the start. It is a nice little hike. We like to get there early so we can be as close to the front of our corral as possible. It really is getting close now...

 

[noryen]

My DW (Cindy) and I (Dan) will be running the Half Marathon. Please add us to the roster. Thanks!

My DW is fully ready to run the half-marathon tomorrow, but I'm recovering from a running related foot injury right now, so I'm hoping that I'm healed in time to run (umm, walk) the half.

 

[dsnyfan21]

I just updated the Bib List with the breakdowns of corrals. Robert was so kind to let me know the breakdown for start according to Bib #!!!.

Looks like it was a good thing our friends had backed out and we'd already been facing the option of not participating. I spent all night at the ER on Monday night & will likely have to have surgery soon & would not be able to run anyway. If timing of the surgery works out, we'll still go down and cheer everyone else on. We've already paid for the flights & have Disney APs, so...
