DisneyLAND bound!!

[DianeL]

Don't forget our WISH meet Saturday at Napoli's (did I spell that right??).

What time at Napolini's??? I don't know how much time I can or if I can but I really want to stop by and say Hi to everyone before getting toted off by my travel group Although if it's close to when Susan wants to eat it might work out that we can stick around longer

Can't wait. No mail yet today.

Chad's packet came today, and since he is not home right now - I opened it!

We also signed up for the 5k as well. I think the medal is going to be Pirates. Now that is pretty cool & worth doing a 5k the day before!

I am really starting to get excited now. I'll be in the back with all my fellow Penguins.

Now I'm bumbed I'm not signed up for the 5K too LOL But that would be a very very kewl medal and I hope it is because that will be Cathy's 1st Disney race and therefore 1st Disney medal and she LOVES the Pirates movies and LOVES Johnny so that would be outta this world perfect AND it will be on her 50th b-day REALLY! She turns 50th that weekend so how extremely kewl that would be. Now I'm really hyper to get my packet LMBO! Thanks Kristi for the info keeping my fingers crossed that it is!!!! Woohooooooo!!!!!

 

[Maherae]

Our packets came!!!
Not only that...I had told the weekly training thread about the number 16 and my family..birthdays, anniversary, house numbers, bank accounts..on and on..and YES!! DH's number is 10716!!! Is that just tooooo cool or what??

WISH meet is 4 p.m. at Napolini's. Look for the green WISH flag!! Anne

 

[TiffJ]

I received my packet today too!!!! Just call me runner #6143

I cannont believe that 6 weeks from right now I will be hanging out in DL.

Pat-I'm with you. I can tell you what ride to go to in what order on what day for WDW but I have no clue about DL. It should be easier for us though since we wont have kids in tow.

I think we said 4:00 for this WISH meet, right?

Pat-we'll be getting to CCI on the 14th & doing DL on the 15th so hopefully we will run into each other before Saturday.

Wendy & Sara-what's a Disney Dead?

Cant wait to see you guys on the left coast!!!!

 

[TiffJ]

They are going to be running shuttles from the Good Neighbor hotels to the race start & the expo!!!!!!

Cant wait to see everyone in the CCI lobby at 3:30 a.m. We need to meet & have a hotel employee take a group "before" pic

 

[DianeL]

Thanks Tiff and Anne for the 4 pm heads up I'll see if we can't stop by the Green WISH Flag and say Howdy


Here in MI my packet did not arrive today


Woohooo to those of you who DID get your packets yesterday and today. Very very exciting seeing everyone getting them and the excitement of knowing our bib#s.

 

[rKyDeX]

The race packets have made it to Florida. I am# 9506 and DW Tracy is # 11800. Now it's California or bust.

 

[WDWFAN9]

No FAIR!! Still no packets for me and DH!

 

[goingthedistance]

No packets here in the desert Southwest. I had hoped that being closer to DL would make my packet get here earlier, but I guess they are mailing them from the East Coast.

Hearing everyone talk about their packet is making me want mine more!!!

We will be walking distacne (Ramada Maingate) so no courtesy shuttles for us. Just a nice warm up/cool down walk to the start line.

I got mine today! Woohoo! The programme looks pretty nice, too! Maybe I'm weird but I think I'll take care of this programme and put it away. It might make a nice collector's item in the future...

 

[keenercam]

Happy Birthday, that would be a good present. Mine was yesterday so I will just take it as a belated gift.

Sorry I missed this, Bill! Hope you had a great day!

Pat -- You are such an awesome Mom! You KNOW all that counts as cross-training, right?

Kristi - Now I wish I'd signed up for the 5K. I'm not sure why we didn't. I'm very into collecting these medals.

Hey, Anne -- Very cool on the #16 magic! But you didn't say what your number is.

Tiff-- I want your number! 143 is a special number for Howard and me and we are always excited when we see it show up somewhere.

BTW, I didn't see the CCI on the list of Good Neighbor Hotels from which shuttles are running. Did you? I am thinking I wouldn't mind walking to the start especially if it serves to stretch my hamstring/hip, which could otherwise be a big problem.

I can't believe the 1/2 is 6 weeks from tomorrow. I was feeling very concerned and unready this morning, but keep reminding myself I don't need to do a sub-15:00 pace for 13.1 right now, that I am training to do it in 6 weeks.

 

[keenercam]

YIPPEE! YIPPEE!! YIPPEE!!!! Our packets AND our WISH shirts arrived today! Thank you DL sports and thank you, thank you, thank you, Carrie!

Howard is #4077 and I am #7506!

 

[Maherae]

Hey, Anne -- Very cool on the #16 magic! But you didn't say what your number is.

Thanks, Cam! On our very first ever 5K, my number was 316 and DH's was 317. Now on our very first half marathon, DH's number is 10716 and mine is 10717..isn't that just too coool??

Oh, my goodness!!!! What a WONDERFUL delivery!!! Shirts AND DL packet!!!

 

[DianeL]

Carrie???? You know I'm watching this thread closely to see if you've gotten yours in the hopes that means mine will be here the same day or within 24 hours

BTW, did our 6 mile LW this morning tomorrow is a 10 mile LW and for these we are just doing the distance (chatting the entire way!) especially after a week of laziness. 10 will be as high as we go but I'm excited to get one in tomorrow it will reinforce a positiveness in me that I WILL finish and boy do I need that after this past week of heat and being a couch potato.

Eagerly awaiting the postman in MI,

 

[wfloyd]

I realized I forgot to post my race number. I am #4074.

Hopefully it will be cooler than it is in Florida right now since these training runs are a little difficult in this humidity.

 

[DianeL]

SUSAN RECEIVED HER PACKET today!!!!!

My mail hasn't come yet so CARRIE!!!! THEY'RE COMING!!!!!

 

[WDWFAN9]

oh happy day!!

Our DL packets (#9170 and #9172) AND our WISH shirts came!! This is SO cool!!

 

[TXBelle]

My packet and my WISH shirts came today! I am #7479. Ordered 2 XL sweatshirts by mistake. PM me if you want one or both.

 

[msblrobs]

My packet and WISH shirts came today also!! My bib # is 4533. DH is 4532.

 

[debm]

Got my packet too! #6970. I've already read through everything. I agree--cool collector's item booklet. I am wondering for those that have done the races at WDW---do we really have to be IN the race area by 4:30AM?!?!? I am walking from the GC. I don't think I have too far to walk. I know it said that cars would have trouble with roads being closed but will I have trouble walking over around 5ish?!?! I think I will fall asleep if I'm there at 4ish and then the race will start and everyone will be running off around me and there I will be sound asleep on the side of the road!
