Does anyone have any info or know where to find info about the Castaway Cay 5k? I did a search but found nothing significant. I went to the DCL sticky with lots of info...there was a link for the 5k but thread that popped up was about having the captain sign some paintings! ?Weird, huh??
I started the couch to 5k program this week and want to make the 5k my goal. I know that this was discussed in the thread before but I forget how far back!
Thanks for the help!

Oh, I haven't been over for awhile. I'm going to post a picture of my front lawn from this morning's snow...

Whenever I need something on the Board I search Google and include "disboards" as part of the search criteria.

There were a few threads that came up from runners:

I'll be there with you I started walking about 3 weeks ago so hopefully I will be at the jogging stage by April.
I have seen it listed in the Navigator to just meet at the gangway and then we all go out together (and supposedly it is before everyone else is allowed off).
Going to peek at the links that were posted and see what they say - thanks golfnsuch!!

 

[pkmingo]

pkmingo! New people this late! I guess some people cancelled before the due date and cabins opened up for our very full cruise

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! No cabins opened up, we actually booked our cabins on our Magic cruise last spring break but didn't find out that everyone really could go till this week. I didn't want to get my hopes up too high before we were sure but now I can let all the planning fun begin!

Thank you for the info! I never thought to add Disboards to my google search...duh!

I read the three threads and found them interesting. I really want to do this. I am hoping it will keep me motivated to stay on my diet and get in shape for this cruise. I have been dieting since last Jan - so far down 50lbs...but would like to lose 20 - 30 more...

mommybean - good to know that someone else is working towards the same goal. Keep me posted on your progress. I am definitely a beginner - I am going to have repeat Week 1 of the couch to 5k program since I really don't jog yet, mainly fast walking...

Congratulations on starting the program!!

I just finished week 2 and am hoping to complete it all before the cruise as well. Week 3 looks pretty challenging though, I'm expecting to be digging deep to get through it. I can't really jog/run outside since we are in the northeast and have had lots of bad weather lately with more on the horizon. So I do it on my elliptical. I still find it challenging and wonder how much easier or harder it is than jogging/running outside.

I think, we North-Easters, instead of running, should get skis and practice cross country skiing NJ-NY-CT-.....

 

[jilljill]

The s#$% really does make y'all chatty....you proved it again today.

We ended up getting between 8-10 inches of the white stuff with ice in the middle. No school today and no school again tomorrow - DD is bummed as she would rather go now than at the end of the year. To make matter worse for her today, her work was closed so no extra hours for her. She's hoping to get lots of hours tomorrow.


Have a fun day in NYC Tuesday. It was snowing from north NJ into the city and finally stopped around 11:45, but it was bad and didn't stick. We had tix for the 10:00 Martha Show and they had stand by tix left for the afternoon taped show so we went back and got into that one too. We came home with lots of loot from both shows.

 

[jilljill]

Oh yeah.....I think the teens/tweens need to be reminded that their posts can be seen by all - including parents.

I'm there too! It's at the top of my 'New Disney things to do this Trip' List.

Although, I may do the power walk and not the jog. As of right now, I don't think I can jog 3 miles in hot weather. I'm power walking 3 miles on my treadmill every other day and it seems like alot.

But I've gotten to the speed (4.2) where I can't walk any faster and need to jog instead. Who knows? I may be ready.

I did order that bathingsuit! So now I'm a little freaked!

I wish I had stuck with it last year, I was doing so well! I'm just back to the point where I stopped and now anything I do is further progress, but it was months lost. Oh well!

I am no where near a speed of 4.2 - I was able to the intermittent jogs (60 secs.) between the 90 secs. walking at 3.8. That is an improvement. I don't know if I will be able to do the whole thing at a jog...but it would be nice to power walk the whole way. I haven't worked out this much in a while. I spent 2010 dieting through Medifast but not doing too much working out.

Back at school today - 2 hour delay. I think the main reason we went is because of the prediction of snow next week. I watched the news last night and they were talking about why we are getting so much snow...has something to do with a system that is stuck over Greenland or Iceland (Can't remember which)...anyway this system is directing all the energy towards the northeast - so any moisture that comes through is turning into snowstorms. I hope I explained that correctly. Anyway - as I was watching it made a lot of sense.
Have a good day!

I have been monitoring the tween board because Connor is posting on it now with my username. I thought they were doing a good job. PM me if Connor needs to hold back on our plans or he is posting something innapropriate.

Hi Everyone-
I just wanted to jump in and introduce myself. We booked this cruise back in November '09, but I finally decided yesterday that we are definitely going. We just got back from the 11-night Christmas cruise, so I wasn't sure if we'd want to go again right away, but we're really excited about the Dream!!

Our family is me, DH, and our two DDs ages 8 and 9. This will be our 9th DCL cruise. We'd love to get involved in the FE. I'll PM our info to Deb T (thanks for coordinating!!).

Can't wait to meet you all!
