2009 WISH Team Marathon Weekend Meets

[hockeygirl]

As it looks right now, I will be at the POP meet on Friday. We are staying at Pop so that should be an easy one!

I will also be at the start of the half, and at the finish depending on how I feel.

I will be at the start and finish of the full and, we will try to make to the Bakery on Monday, as we have a breakfast reservation at the beach club a little later in the morning.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Count us in for the POP meet on Friday. We'll be hanging out before the start of the Half and I'll be cheering everyone for the Full from around Mile 9. We're staying at Poly that last few nights so I plan to walk over and hopefully be able to see and cheer everyone on.

Me and DH (Matt)

Thanks!
Stacie

Yay, Stacie....we'll be at the Poly also! (However, I just realized from your siggie you are doing the half and not the full, so what I recently wrote you in a PM probably has no relevance to you.) Oh well.......

We'll be at the POP meet on Friday also

Saturday, we'll be cheering the half from the TTC and then the Poly. Also at the finish line for the back of the packers.

Monday morning we plan to be at the Boardwalk bakery.....if we can move!

How have I missed this thread!

Me -- Wendy (getnthinr) will be
Doing the 5K
Meeting at the Pop Food Court
Doing the Half and Marathon (though I don't know that I'll make the post-race meets because I always have dining reservations afterwards -- I'm such an oinker!)
And since it starts at 9:30, I can even make the bakery. I may be a little late because.... well, there's this character breakfast.... )

Hi Maria, how are you?????? I haven't chatted with you in forever!!!!!

How is training going? Can't wait to see you again!!!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Hey Kim!

I mostly hang out on the Lean Meaners and Team Ohana threads. I haven't been to the main thread in forever. I just felt lost there.

I'm following a more intense training program this year. Instead of Bingham I'm doing Hal Higdon. It calls for more miles, which I think will serve me well. I'm also moving alot faster than I did last year. I wish I could say I weighed less, but at least it's one kind of progress! I just did 3.5 mi this morning. I have to do it in the am dark, because I don't follow through well in the pm dark!

Gotta get ready so I can go to work. Ugh!

[Hockeychic]

Good for you....that is awesome!!!

Which are you doing this year the full or the 1/2??? I can't remember are you a walker or runner?

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Hey Kim,

I'm doing the Half, the Full is beyond me! I started out as a walker, now I'd say I wog. I've been doing 13 min miles, but the most I've kept that up for is 5 so far. Still, I'm way faster than last year, when I was really worried I would be swept. This year I just want to finish before dh gives up and takes a bus back to the resort. He's looking at a 2:00 time, so that's going to be a big challenge for me!

Hello all!!! DH and I will be at the POP meet on Friday-- we may have DD5 in tow if we can't convince the grandparents to watch her

We will both be doing the full, I can't believe how close it is getting

 

[laughinplace199]

DH & I will be at POP Fri as well.

We're both doing the full.

Can't wait to meet everyone!

 

[Hockeychic]

wow 2 hours that is amazing. DS did his first 1/2 this summer with no training in 2:15 but then again he is only 19.... I would love to do 2:30 but I think 3 hours is more realistic.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Hey Kim!

DH did 9:30 miles on his last 5 mile race, so that's where he got the idea he could do 2:00. I think time and conditions will tell. I'm definitely in the 3+ range, I'm hoping to be around 3:15, but that might be pushing it. DH is going to have plenty of time to decide he wants to do the Full next year before I arrive -- which is where I think this is going...
