Thank you Tracy for this. Now it's on my signature. I hope I get a chance to meet some of you. I joined this thread right in the beginning when it was created, but haven't posted since. This will be my first 1/2 marathon. I can't wait to jog (ok, who are we kidding, walk) wearing a tiara!

 

[2BoysMom]

You pick a princess when you are going through the registration process. There are 4 to choose from. Not sure what they are going to do with it. Maybe put that princess on your bib??

Look, here I am responding to another Tracy post!! She's going to think I'm stalking her....

I registered right when the new race was announced for next year. I can't remember anything about it. Is there a way for me to check my registration somewhere?

I love the idea of having my first "run" being at an inaugural event at Disney World. My favorite place with great people. Oh, yeah, and the tiara!

2BoysMom, you are more than welcome to come hang out with us at the back of the pack.. LOL Didn't anyone tell ya, that's where the fun is?!

 

[Hockeychic]

Definatley all the fun is at the back. We pay alot of money to run/walk/waddle/crawl on these routes, I plan on staying out there awhile

 

[Caitsmama]

oh, I can tell the back is gonna be where it's at!! LOL (Maybe that's a motto for our tshirts.. LOL)

 

[Hockeychic]

Just like in school all the fun cool kids are at the back of the class, back of the bus.....back of the pack on race day

 

[mla1977]

But don't they have post-race refreshments? I don't know what they are, but I will certainly be running towards them.

 

[Hockeychic]

for other disney events they have so I am sure they will, but nothing to right home about, old bananas oh but there was some yummy blueberry thing at the end of the 1/2 in January. At that point all I want is my BLING

 

[Caitsmama]

at the 5k last May they had - bottles of H2O, Powerade, blueberry coffee cake things (or i think mabye one other kind too - mabye Banana?) And they had fruit (i think banana's or oranges..)

now that i think back, it's all kinda blurry.. LMAO.. I don't remember much except being thrilled with my 5k bling and happy i finished my first run!!

Speaking of hanging out together, how do the corralls affect that? I did not sign up as a team with my friend since I could not see the benefit. Now I read about corralls and wonder if we are not in the same one if we will even see each other? We are shooting for average 15 minute miles.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Disney places you in your corrals based on your finish time you have given and if you have results from a previous race. We all meet before hand (before they announce to go to the corrals around the family reunion tent that has the letter "W" on it. We also meet up at the end of the race also at the W tent after you get your medal, chip removed, photo taken and get your goody bag back.

I don't really have anything interesting to say, but I haven't chimed in for a while. I am a lurkaholic - I can easily fall into just lurking on a thread.... Which I am not going to do this time! One reason for no longer lurking is that if everyone lurked there would be no thread to entertain me. AND the biggie is that I have done several Disney races, and I always see the super cool WISH group. I think about going over and introducing myself. Then I realize that I have only made a few posts on the tread I have read for months. I envision the following scenario.... "Hi, I'm trimom.... blank stares... the one who last posted anything about 3 months ago.... more blank stares.... Trimom slowly backs away"

Now I know that no one would actually give me a blank stare, but things play out like that in my head. So I am going to try to post more so that I when I do come introduce myself, you will at least have some idea of who I am.

Well there it is. I have committed to posting more AND to actually approaching the cool WISH group before the Princess 1/2

 

[Hockeychic]

Hi Trimom and welcome!!!!! Glad you decided to de-lurk

 

[mla1977]

hi trimom! Welcome!

So today we had a potlock here and I have been stocking up on the free diet cokes (I know, not good for the diet). I am so over caffinated right now that I feel like I could do the race today (until I found a port-o-potty at least!).

I'm not sure if I will be able to sleep tonight.

 

[stenogoddess]

Welcome Trimom! I'm so glad you'll be with us. Don't forget to order your super cool WISH shirt so you call look super cool in lime green with the rest of us!

 

[ghoulishgirl]

Hi TriMom!
I'm a lurker too! I check everyday for new posts on this thread, but rarely post! Looking forward to meeting everyone! Count Mom and I in for POR create your own pasta, it's one of our favorites!

Can someone please explain the diet coke thing to me?????

I can't quite figure out HOW it is a diet buster. Things I do think that I know: (But these could be wrong as well)

1. Diet Coke has no calories so it can not affect the burn less calories than you take in equation of weight loss.

2. Diet Coke contains caffeine so it acts as a diuretic, which can affect your water weight, and leave you dehydrated

3. It may be possible that the sweet taste causes a small insulin reaction, but when your stomach figures out there is no sugars, you stop producing the insulin. Could that be enough to bust a diet?

4. Diet Coke may keep you from drinking enough water, which is important to weight loss.


So why would 4 or 5 cans of Diet Coke be bad (can you tell I have a HUGE Diet Coke addiction?) IF I am also drinking about 12 - 14 cups of water, and no coffee.

I have really tried to cut back to 2 cans per day, and I manage that most of the time - but due to a bizarre set of 2 yo induced circumstances, I got 1 1/2 hours of sleep last night - so it has been a total caffeine day.

 

[mla1977]

I think it is #3 and #4. I drink a lot of water. In fact mostly water because I am cheap and don't want to pay for soda, but I have a few bottles of diet coke per week. My problem is that I drink most of my water between 7pm and 12am so I wake up to use the facilities at least once per night.

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Welcome Lurkers. Would love to know real names...

Does everyone wear the lime green WISH shirts? I thought I had seen pink ones at one point.

TriMom - Kat short for Mary Kathryn - I answer to both, but I do not answer to Mary
