Lauren, you go girl!!!!

I just did my 7 miles too! Did walk 3/run 1, my time was 99:37. I am happy! Now i am eating and relaxing before i need to take dd to a bday party.

I did it! I walked seven miles. Man, that was far! LOL

Way to go Lauren! I knew you'd do it, what an awesome achievement.

Hi ya ladies! Good luck with the miles this weekend! I too have 7 to do but not sure if I can. I am still fighting the flu. Haven't done anything this week! I have been sleeping as much as I can in the hopes I will have some energy. Well, I am going to take some more Sudafed and gte back in bed. Have a nice weekend everyone! Stay warm!!!

Hope you're feeling better. I have def sympathy for you, in exactly the same position and just can't shake this chestyness. Boo. Keep up the sleeping. I'm meant to be on a 10miler tomorrow ha ha ha. I'll aim for 7!

Just have fun with it, disney events are like no other. Many teamates to cheer you on along the way. It is alot of fun.

That's the best advice in the world. Not to take it too seriously at the end of the day, it is meant to be at least a bit enjoyable

Aah sorry, you must've posted while i was typing! Great work with your 7 miles too. You totally deserve to be happy. I love reading this thread- it inspires me so much

Okay, some silly 5k questions...

First, how close to the event will Disney send out final information? I am talking about parking information, etc. Or will that just be available when I pick up my race packet before the race?

Second, and this is REALLY silly, do I get a medal for the 5k...? It's my first, so I am hoping yes...

My boyfriend is running the Princess Half Marathon with me and my dad and my sister's boyfriend is running the 5K with my sister and mom. We have very supportive significant others that happen to love Disney.

The Disney Marathon last weekend was WONDERFUL! But, I seem to have a stress fracture (or similar) in my right foot. D'oh! I really would like to encourage Jen to do the 1/2 so:

What are male WISHers doing for the Princess half? Running (after 7 weeks of recoup I should be able to walk it)? Forming a cheer group? Or should I volunteer (as if that's any *less* walking)?

Thanks!
Butch

Hey Butch!! Sorry to hear about your foot, I hope it feels better soon. I don't know for sure, but I am guessing that the Princess turn out will be similar to Minnie's - a lot of females with a smattering of guys. I think Matt was considering the Princess with Cheryl, but I'm not definite on that. Come on and join the fun!!

Congrats to those who got in their 7 miles!! It seems my cold has returned and wasnt able to do my 40 minutes. But tomorrow I am suppose to do 4 miles. Seems weird after 6 last weekend. Hopefully I will feel well enough. Off to take some Nyquil.

Man, i am now understanding the benefit of Body Glide. Or whatever it's called..
When iwas on the TM yesterday, my inner thighs were rubbing against my shorts which were riding up, and i could feel the chafing starting -- i should have stopped for a min. and threw on my yoga capri's which were hanging on the clothesline RIGHT next to my TM, but noooo.. i kept going, and i knew it was gonna be red after.. it was starting to burn. LOL
Well, let me say, i am not too sore today (after my 7 miles) but my inner thighs are RED.. like broken blood vessels red -- i don't know if it was really bleeding, but pretty close..
So, all in all, i guess these long TM workouts are good for teaching me what i will be/ will not be wearing on race day!!!

 

[Caitsmama]

Also, anyone who has requested name tags, i will be working on them today, it's snowing here - again, which means i am not going anywhere but in bed - cuddling with my laptop and getting some scrappin' done.

 

[FeeFeeWhite]

Please add me to the list for the Princess 5K!

The same thing happened to me last week during the 6 mile. I went out within an hour of finishing the run and bought some of the almost knee length running shorts. I am running my 7 miles today so we'll see if it makes a difference.

 

[Caitsmama]

Good luck!!! LMK how it works! I have some of those i will be trying for my 4 miles tomorrow..

 

[dsnyfan21]

Yes... Body Glide or Runner's Glide or Vaseline are great life savers when your start getting into those miles!!. Put it anyway you need it, inner thighs, aroung the sports bra band, on your feet to prevent blisters!!! Raw chaffed skin hurts like a bugger and sometime you don't know you have it until you get in the shower and then...SURPRISE and the pain kicks in!

Caismama: I would like a name tag. Here is the design I used in Jan a,d can be used every year. It was an insert with the clear holder and could be pinned on or hung from your lanyard.

I posted over on facebook on the WISH group about the WISH meet at POR on Saturday at 4:30.

[Caitsmama]

Sure tracy! And thanks for the body glide info! I learned the hard way. LOL
I didn't even think of the badge holders - i know you can buy those cheap at Staples..

 

[stenogoddess]

Tracy: There's a Facebook Wish group? I'm Stenogoddess Boxx on Face book. Could you look me and point my in the right direction??

 

[Caitsmama]

Hey Lauren! Are you caught up on your work yet??

 

[UP Disney]

I think I'm off to walk/run my 7 miles. I'll let you know how it goes. I've been lazy all morning but need to get moving now. I have laundry to do as well as grocery shopping. I'll check in later with my results.

 

[mla1977]

I'd like a name tag too!

I'm heading to the gym in about 20 minutes to get my miles in! I've just got to get the laundry sorted so DBF can work on that while I'm gone.

 

[stenogoddess]

Hey Lauren! Are you caught up on your work yet??

Well, no. LOL That never actually happens. And when it does I'm all crazy about that because I'm not earning any money. Never happy that's me! But right now is just more crazy than usual. The holidays through the first of the year always is. I usually slow back down around the middle/end of Feb for a while.

Just do it!

Way to delegate!

My DH is tearing out a wall in our kitchen today while I pay the bills and work. He gets to do all the fun stuff. At least I don't have to clean the house for a while. There's just no point!

Thanks Tracy!


What is this one for? Anybody ever used it?? LOL

 

[stenogoddess]

Hey Christine:

I'm getting yoru check read for the headbands and realized I don't have your last name for the check. Also, you've exceeded your PM mailbox level!
