Thanks for sharing all the pictures and video's!! I'm so proud of you all.
A coworker and I are talking about running next year. She's a marathon runner and in very good shape. I'm a couch potato. Not a good mix.
You can do it Tammy. I was a couch potato as well. Follow the Galloway or Marathoning for Mortals (MFM) plan. Either of them are for people like you & I. It is an amazing experience.
Cheering also gave me a wonderful feeling. I thought I was doing it for the runners and found that I got as much or more out of it. It was amazing watching the faces of everyone. For the half, we were at the corner where they turned and saw the finish line. It was wonderful seeing the look of exhiliration on their faces at that moment.
Good morning, friends! Could I ask a favor, please? We got word, last night, that some friends of ours, Doug and Shawna Meredith, lost their 5 year old grandson yesterday. He died of heart problems. They were watching him while his parents were on a cruise to celebrate their wedding anniversary. My heart is just breaking for all of them!
Peyton was born very prematurely (24 weeks gestation), and has struggled with hearing, sight and heart problems from the first. However, his parents were told that if he made it to age 7 his chances of dying decreased dramatically. This was the first time they had gone away without him, and they are feeling so awful, right now.
Please hug your children and grandchildren a little tighter today!

Vicki-love your finisher photo! Will you do the full next year for the 20th?
Terry & Stef-love your photos too. The 5K looks so fun!
Tammi-you could do it! I wouldn't recommend you try the way I did without really training. I'm hoping I can get myself into a training mode so that I can to the DL half on Labor Day to get the coast to coast medal. I won't try another 1/2 without training. I was really lucky that I didn't get swept. We were up and at the bus stop at 3:15am and there was a bus right there. We quickly found where to wait for the walk over to the start and were right at the front of our corral. If I had been in the back of our corral I think I would have gotten swept. I've read of some issues with busses from some of the resorts but bus service all weekend from Pop was great. I was going to suggest you consider doing the relay with your friend but rumor is they might not do it again.
Anne Marie-nice to hear Minnie is settling down.
Deb-hope Colby's foot is all better now.

I made a couple of bounceback reservations while I was there. I made a May reservation for my birthday with Emma. I wanted a preferred room at Pop but they didn't have any preferred rooms so I did preferred room at ASMovies. I may change to a standard room at Pop but I think Emma will enjoy Movies.
I also made a late August for BWI for the family. I may have to change the dates if I do the DL half. I suggested to DH that we do a suite at Art of Animation but he likes being able to walk to 2 parks. Maybe I'll do a split stay.

I'm so sorry to hear this.
Thanks for all the encouragement, ladies. If I'm going to do this, I need to get moving. I've put on 10 lbs in the past year and I'd love to lose it before our vacation. I'm sure training would do it!

I'm glad you're happy. I hope things work out.
I cannot imagine the devastation and sorrow that they are experiencing right now

Colby's foot is finally getting better. I removed the stitches last night as the stitches were propagating the infection. Within hours it had scabbed over for the first time in 8 days. Hopefully it will be much better by the time he goes to school on Tuesday.
Deb,
Glad to hear Colby's foot is healing.
Tammi,
I was thinking about trying the 5k next year if I can get away. It would be the very thing to help me stay focused on healthy eating etc.
Elin,
So glad that you & Bob have come so far from what you were going through this time last year.
Glynis,
I am so sorry for your friends, that is just devastating.

One year ago today Bob had is stroke. What a short, long year this has been.
That would be awesome. I think my coworker is backing out on me already so I need a new partner!
I am giving it serious thought. Ever since I turned 40 I feel like I am falling apart. I need a good kick in the pants & this could be it.
