Donald's Defiant Dashers 2011

[marathonmommy]

Hi everyone. I am having a great time at WDW. The weather has been great. It did the Wild Africa Trek to and that was a lot of fun. I accomplished 2 things today that I havent done before, I saw Mickeys Jumgle Jamming Parade and found Devine. I will be posting pictures on to FB once I get wifi at the next hotel. After spending 9 hours at AK I managed to run 3.3 miles at the All Star resorts. I had to work off the chicken dinner I had at Flame Tree BBQ. Just a bit of advise, don't run after eating at Flame Tree. I was burping smoke flavor the whole time. A tid bit of info, Stacy has a new video looping on the Disney channel that plays on the resort tvs. She is still annoying.
Sounds like everyone is doing great on their training, good job!
Well I'm off to bed, I have been here for 2 days and havent been to MK yet, which is usually the first place I go, so I am spending the day there.
Joe

Ugh...I resent Stacy soooooo much. Not only is she annoying, but she took my job! And, I don't think she really knows all that much about Disney anyway!

Joe - Seems like you are having a great time at Disney - I have been following along on FB. I would love to hear more about the Wild Africa Trek. The new show on the TV's with Stacy is annoying but something I have to have on - especially the first day - its just something that says "I'm at Disney" LOL

I need to get out and get a run in - I am feeling antsy - maybe a short one today after work is what I need

Laura~I found out I'm in Corral C. It seems there are about 2600 runners in each of those first three corrals, so I think I *just* missed the cutoff for B!

Vic~Hope you can get a longer run in next time.

Joe~LOL Good to know about eating Flame Tree before running...that would be yucky!

Tricia~I turn Stacy on everytime I enter the room. Makes it feel homey. Hope you can get a run in today.

 

[marathonmommy]

Liz,
How did you find out what corral you are in? I'm guessing I'm in B then, but it would be fun to know!

 

[ahoff]

Good luck to all those going down for the Princess! Maybe we will see some PB's?

Joe, it seems you are having too much fundown there!

Vic, Winternationals are right around the corner. And the Gators are a good excuse for a trip to Didney also!

So today has been a nightmare for my family and I. My 17 wk pregnant DW has been admitted into the hospital with complications with the baby. The doctor tried to do a procedure but had to stop due to the an issue that arose. They are going to try again in the morning but the doctor said it does not look good for our child. We are praying and hoping for a miracle. We need all the prayers and pixie dust we can get.

 

[dismagiclover]

AUDisneydad I am so sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers during this extraordinarily difficult time.

 

[airman]

Thinking of you today, Tim and I will try to send as much pixie dust your way.
Joe

 

[liznboys]

Oh Tim I am so very sorry to hear that. You'll certainly be in my thoughts. I hope there's improvement today.

 

[CALIFLADY]

Tim - Praying for you, your wife, and child.

 

[AUdisneyDad]

I wanted to say thank you for all the thoughts, prayers and pixie dust. I also wanted to five you all an update. The doctor came in yesterday morning to see if the steps they took overnight helped. They did not so he could not do the procedure again. (my DW lost the plug in her cervix and the babies sack is pretruding past the cervix.). So now my wife is on bedrest at the hospital, she's not able to get up for anything and must lay flat. The doctors have told us that the baby needs to stay in for another 8 wks to have a chance of survival. So I will give you updates periodically of everything. Once again THANK YOU ALL...

 

[liznboys]

Thanks for the update Tim. You all will continue to be in my thoughts.

 

[LadyDooley]

AUDisneydad All the best to you in the coming weeks. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Please update us again when you can.



FOR EVERYONE MAKING THEIR WAY TO WDW:enjoy the run and the warm weather.
Wish I was there with you.

 

[ahoff]

Tim, so sorry to hear this. Prayers are on their way.

 

[marathonmommy]

Tim,
So sorry to hear about your situation...the Ducks are thinking of you.



On a not so serious note, I had the flu less than a month ago and yesterday I was diagnosed with strep...with the Princess race a little over a week away. Ugh. I'm definitely not looking to PR for this one - even if I wanted or tried to!

 

[TnTsParty]

Tim - prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

To all heading to Disney for the Princess have a great time and have a great race. Make sure to report back.

 

[carissanboys]

Thoughts are with you, your wife, and your little one Tim.

 

[Big Vic]

Good morning Ducks! It's foggy in NW Florida this morning. Taking the day off and getting new grips put on the scooter. The DW hates it when I spend time at the Harley shop. There's always something to buy.

Tim - You and your wife are in our thoughts.

Laura - Hope you get to feeling better.

Augie - I bit the bullet last night and bought tickets to the Gatornationals. I haven't been to an NHRA national event since 1973. Can't wait!

Everyone - Take care.

Hello everyone,
This is my last night in Orlando (for this week). It was a good meeting, but I ate way too much and I only got 1 run in this week. I will have to do better next week to get back into the swing of things. My flight was canceled for tomorrow, so I had to reschedule for an earlier flight and I will miss the last part of the meeting. I didn't want to schedule for a later flight because Michigan is getting freezing rain in the evening, hopefully I won't get stuck at the airport.
I had a great solo trip to WDW, I will write more once I get back home and get my thoughts together. Most of you followed the drama of lil Pluto and shared in my happy reunion.
Joe

Hi Everyone,

First of all, even though I am new here to this group and don't know Tim, just wanted to wish him well. I recently graduated from nursing school and understand what they are dealing with. Tim - my thoughts are with you and your wife.

So, we took a road trip this weekend out to Penn State where I discovered the most wonderful sticky buns at a college diner! Problem is I ate too many of them (we also brought some home). Combine that with no exercise for a few days and I am feeling very "blah" tonight. So tomorrow morning I am either back on the treadmill or getting outside to run. I felt like I was finally starting to make some progress with my C25K and this weekend has set me back. I have been reading thru the Princess Half threads and can't wait to be there next year. That is my big motivation at the moment. In the meantime I am planning to run my first 5K in April - can't wait!

Good Luck to everyone running @ Princess this weekend. I know Liz is running - anyone else?
