Baltimore BOT-Fest

[Theta]

What, I guess none of us cares anymore?

I care!

Just been a little busy getting ready for my new job! I go in today to meet the math dept. and attend my first staff meeting. I have a work day on Wednesday and then the kids come on Thursday. Excited about this new chapter. I think I will need a BOT meet this spring to keep me grounded.

I don't care, but make pretend I do...does that count?

Good luck on your new job, Colleen! Maybe you'll get a snow day out of the chute like Kathy did!

A spring BOT meet would be great. Good luck getting Mathy to show up.

HEY! Maybe we can do a relay run around the hospital while Cindy is in labor???

Is everyone on board for Disney in 2012?

 

[CynthiaCindy]

Everyone could come to D.C. in the spring to meet the babies!

Hello my friends: I finally got my interview with Jeff Galloway finished. We talked back in October before the Wine & Dine half, but I didn't get to finish it up until now. It was played on last week's DIS Unplugged podcast, and the full interview is available to listen to on the blog.

DIS Unplugged: runDisney and Run (or Walk) to the Finish with an Olympian

And for what it's worth - I'd love to have a Bot Meet in the spring! Not sure I could make it, but I'd give it a try!

 

[jbucci]

I care too, just to lazy to post (or to actually run very much...)

Butch and I signed up for the National Half, so we will be in DC in March. Opted against the full cause we just don't have time to really train for a full right now. I'm looking forward to the race.

Good luck with the new job Colleen.

We are in for Disney in 2012, I'll probably do Goofy again, Butch is still trying to decide what he wants to do. I'm going down for Princess this year again, got to maintain perfectly Princess.

A BOT BABIES MEET! Sounds good to me!

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

A BOT BABIES MEET! Sounds good to me!

"You Gotta See the Baby! When are you gonna' see the baby?!?"

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

So have the Bots heard there's going to be a relay option for the WDW Full Marathon next year? I know we've talked about running a relay before, but we couldn't get our act together... Maybe a WDW Marathon Bot Relay Team might be a possibility.

 

[Optimator]

Wow. I guess you all just needed a kick start.

Colleen - Congratulations on the new job. I hope it goes well and you enjoy it.

Jen - So you signed up for the the National Half? I think I'll have to check my schedule. It adds some incentive for me to run since you will be there.

Dave - I'm a little skeptical about the relay thing. It just adds to the logistical nightmare of the whole weekend.

Hi to everyone else. You know who you are!

 

[jbucci]

Mike: I'm happy to serve as an incentive for you. Come join us Maybe you can talk me into the full for next year.

Dave: I like the idea of a Bot relay-- Butch might be tempted by this. He is not sure if he wants Goofy next year or to scale back a bit-- the half and a relay might be just the thing.

 

[Jodi]

Did I tell you guys that I'm going on a cruise very soon on the new DREAM? I'm just sayin'.

 

[jbucci]

Jodi: have fun on the cruise. I need a full report, we are going over spring break and would love to hear about the ship.

[KeenHo]

Hi everyone! It amazing that I haven't posted in like at least 5 or 6 pages... ugh. So sorry. Glad there is Facebook to keep up to date on some of the things going on.

I am running the NYC 1/2 with that 5 finger chick who is going on a cruise without all of us soon. Other than that, I am looking at the Danbury (CT) Half in early April (with Charlie P), then ??? I want to run something in May... I'm undecided though. I misses signing up for the Broad Street Run in Philly too, it filled up too quickly.

Things are busy at work, the 100 Day Challenge is in full swing and I am attending "Boot Camp" at 6 Pm on Monday and 6 AM on Friday at the local YMCA. I have dropped about 5 pounds with another 10 to go to reach my goal.

Cindy~ Keep us posted on your progress!

Colleen~ Good luck on the job!

As for me at WDW next January, it'll just be the marathon. No Goofy. This year made it 4 Goofy races out of 6 total years I've run Disney.

I'll keep better in touch on this. Has Kathy decided where we are all running together this year?

Would anybody here know where I can get a clip-on fan for the treadmill? My gym has newer treadmills, but these don't have built in fans. When the TX summer comes in full swing, it's going to be tough to keep using them.

 

[jbucci]

Funny you should mention a clip on fan for the TM. Ours died a few weeks ago and I was trying to replace it. I learned this is the wrong time of year. All I could find were heater fans, not quite what I had in mind. In the summer they are easy to find...Target, WalMart, Bed Bath and Beyond. This time of year you need the internet.

 

[DisneyParrothead]

I will definitely start looking in the spring, maybe early April. I like the newer machines but I need a fan since I can over heat pretty quickly.

 

[KeenHo]

No running for me, except on the Wii Fit program. If Wii miles translate to actual miles, my pace is pretty good.

So far this year (January 1 through February 1), I have the following results from Boot Camp, the 100 Day Chalenge activity and eating better (smaller portions, little or no sweets, etc.):

BMI went from 27.78 down to 27.04.
Weight went from 198.4 down to 193.1

My Goals on January 1 were: BMI down to 25.68, Weight down to 183.4 (15 lb loss).

I am tracking well towards my goal. As soon as I can get outside to run, I will start back up with a training plan for the NYC Half Marathon!
