2010 Disneyland Half - where are you staying? IT'S HERE - Almost!

Stephanie, that will work! I wish we had iron-on decals that you could put on a shirt. That would make it a lot easier on new WISHers who can't get an "official" shirt right away.

The first year we ran DL I wore a lime green shirt and made a WISH visor from a lime one I found at WalMart. It identified me as WISH but did not have the risk of ink running when I got sweaty. I thought an iron on design on a shirt would feel too "stiff" to run in. DH will likely be using my homemade visor again as his real one accidentally became throw away clothes during the WDW full.

I picked up some green mickey head paint samples from Home Depot. I have made a Minnie outfit so I'm thinking of glueing them to my bib.

Leaving for DL in two weeks!

Ack! Now I'm worried about ink running down me! Though, I think if I put it on and wash it, anything that's likely to run would be long gone. I may try the fabric markers out on a tech shirt I got at a 5K that's way too small for me and throw it in the wash a couple times to see how it does.

I like the idea of getting a lime green visor, too. Anyone seen any lime green ones around at a chain store recently?

I've got a lime green WISH visor that I never wear if anyone wants to use it. I'm not even sure it has ever been worn but I will make sure it's clean before giving it to you.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

Where would I purchase WISH gear?

I am still trying to decide what to wear. I have never run in a visor but will be trying it this evening because now that I'm putting in more miles I sweat alot (sorry, TMI) and it gets in my eyes.

Also a question for the ladies...do you wear shorts that have the built in undies? I have regular running shorts but my cotton undies aren't cutting it anymore. Again sorry for too much info but I'm pretty new to the whole running/exercising thing and want to be as prepared and comfortable as I can be for this race.

Some stores sell underwear that has a wicking material. I've seen it at the running store near my house, Nike Stores and Sports Basement. The ones I've seen have always been black. You could probably look online and find a pair if there are no stores that carry them around you. I've never worn them so I can't help you with reviews, but I'm sure you can find some somewhere.

This may be TMI, but you asked For races, I wear compression shorts with my Race Ready shorts over them. No undies. Too much potential for chafing etc. You may need to try a few scenarios and see what works and what is comfortable for you. On my short runs during the week, I wear the shorts with the built in panty. Again, no issues with chafing or the dreaded runners wedgie

Good luck to everyone running the half in just 2 short weeks! I'll be in the ChEAR Squad! BF is getting really excited for the race. I soooo wanted to register for the 5k, but our flight doesn't get in until 730p on Friday so I wouldn't have made it to the Expo in time to get race number, etc...earlier flight wasn't possible because of work...work ruins everything!

Hey! Anyone register for the 5k that won't be running it afterall (but can still pick up packet at the Expo) and interested in meeting up friday night and selling off their race number, D-tag and T-shirt? I'm sure it's a long shot, but I had to ask!

Question- what are the mickey head samples?

I went to Walmart this morning looking for a green hat- no luck. I then went to the Nike Outlet by my house hoping they would have bright green shirts, especially in the men's dept. (Men always get better selections plus it fits better on me) and no luck. Not even colored running hats. BUT!! They did have lime green running windbreaker jackets on sale for $60. They were really nice I got one for January, hopefully that and not a jacket! I figured I could wear that over my stuff in a couple of weeks to keep me warm. I'm still looking though, somebody has to have bright green running shirts somewhere!

Home Depot sells disney paint and the sample colors are mickey head shape. I picked up two different greens to see what might match best.

I know it would/might be too late for some of ya'll but the company we order the cool max WISH shirts from are usually represented at the marathon expo at WDW and might be at the DL expo as well. They usually have the plain bright green shirts that we wear. You might can find a green visor as well. ??? You can also order the plain shirt from the company Internet site. Just a thought.

Thanks!! I'll stop by one this week to check them out!

Thanks for info, I'll look for a hat. I was going through my running shirts this morning trying to organize the drawer, and I found my tech shirt they gave out for the Boston Marathon 5K, and it's bright neon green. It has the BAA logo on front, and '10 5K on the back. Do you guys think that will be okay?

So I stopped by Michael's this morning and got a lime green feather boa type thing, some sheet foam and some pin backings. No idea what I'm doing yet, but I'll play around this weekend.

Kim - that will be unique! We should be able to spot you.

Just a few more days.....
