A week late, but Minnie Race pics/mini report

[amykab]

Hi,

just thought I would share my pics..Nothing too different from what has been posted before.

I did the 5K and the 15K! I doubted myself to the very end that I would be able to complete the 15K, but finished in 2:13 something...I probably could have done it faster if i hadn't stopped at every water stop, stopped for taking pictures, used the porta potty's.stopping at beach club for pics with DD..etc etc. ..Crossing the finish line at the 15K was alot more emotional than I ever thought it would be! It was by far the biggest physical accomplishment of my adult years..

I am a pretty shy person by nature and my only regret of the weekend is not meeting any WISH'ers ...I saw tons of you with your shirts!

I signed up for the minnie races as a goal to keep me on track for losing weight and getting in shape after having DD. My next major goal is the half in january, I am going to run it for the Children's Tumor foundation. I'd like to join a WISH team to keep me on track for this goal! Who assigns the teams?

I am back on the treadmill starting tomorrow!!

Amy, Congratulations! YOU did it! Both even! Thanks for posting your pics. They are great!

Please don't be shy any longer. Belonging to the WISH Team will mean you will have many friends to get you through the upcoming training. If you continue to post on the weekly thread, you will be amazed at the fun you will have training now and meeting everyone in January.

windwalker (Dave) will be the one to assign your team.

Amykab, I just happen to have a place for you on the Walt's Warriors team. Just go to their thread and introduce yourself. I'll tell them to leave the light on for you.

Amy, Loved your pics! My first race was the Minnie 15K and the WISHers here were a huge inspiration for me. I'm glad you're here and are joining one of the Teams.

Great pics. My DH and DD are in the pic of the finish line!! The Minnie was also my first race and I can't wait to do the next one. The WISHer's I met were all very nice and a few were near the finish line yelling for me even though I don't have a green shirt yet. It was AMAZING!!

Amy Great pictures--especially the one of the flares counting down the start of the race. I though that was neat.

I was wondering if I might have captured anyone on these boards or their family members in these pictures!

The flare picture came out better than expected, I kinda just held up my camera and snapped a couple!

Doing the minnie races was definitely the biggest personal athletic accomplishment of my life! I got alot more out of it than I ever expected.

I loved that one too! Thanks for sharing these! I love to look at photos of other folks' race experiences. I don't think I saw Cruella -- just Mulan and the Queen of Hearts. Too cool!
