Fat Girls Walking Club

Bummer Magix, I didn't realize they weren't timed either. Perhaps you should suggest they start timing the 5K's.

I am thinking about doing the DL 5K and DLHM. We'll see how my training goes.

Yes it does feel really good. With the economy and two sons in college I didn't want to go in debt for Christmas. Sure will be nice not to dread January & January's mail this year.

Merry Christmas to all of you, your families, and friends!
Chris

I hope everyone had Happy Holidays.

Now that the craziness at work has slowed down (I work in Retail) it is time to focus on me, me, me!!!

We are doing the Princess 5k instead of the half. I'm not ready to do the half. I find it very scary!!!!

Can't wait to get to WDW in 2 months.

Hope everyone has a great day

Annette

Happy New Year to all.
I know I have been missing over the holidays as well.
Son home from college, grandchildren visiting, and family parties.
Back on track now.
Awaiting new TM and some warmer weather. But, have walked and kept my initial pace.
Hope to improve as things settle down.
Best to all,

Ok I"m back after falling off the face of the earth!! I promise I'm still here and still running!!

I got a bit off track after being sick for 1 week, but I'm back at it!!


I can't believe the Princess 5K is SO CLOSE!! I'm getting really excited!

My friend pulled out for financial reasons so I'm going it alone, well with my fellow WISHers!!!

 

[grstink]

Nikki,
I'll see you there at the 5K.
Just look for the Grandma (Nan) along with her 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters in strollers. We do tend to stand out in a crowd.
Good luck with your training and welcome back as well.

My Dsis and I will be there too. I can't wait. Trying to see if I can get enough training in to do the Half too. Not sure though. We are waiting to register for that until we are sure we can finish it. Not sense on wasting money.

Have a great night
Annette

I"m so glad that I will know others at the race!!!

There is nothing like feeling "alone" in a crowd!


Thanks girls for the encouragement!

I'm off to work and will be staying late to do my workout!

 

[Magix]

I'm off to WDW on Wednesday morning. I'm excited for the Circle of Life 5K on Friday! Wish me luck, girls. I'll give a full report when I get back (returning 1/22).

Good luck on the circle of life 5K!!!!

I can't wait to hear about it! Make sure to bring back tips on what race day really is like!


Have a great day everyone and just keep moving!

 

[tolemommy]

Good Luck Magix! Sounds like fun! I can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[grstink]

Hope all went well Magix.
I was very excited to get my TM this weekend. Now I can even get prepared during these cold and nasty days here in NJ.
Getting very excited for my first 5K in March.

 

[Magix]

Borrowing my friend's computer here in our room at WL. Completed my Circle of Life 5K Friday morning with a new personal record of 43:23. That's by my watch, since no official timing was done. Was very pleased with myself, I must admit. But, the race seemed longer than my first 5K!

My friend made it all the way through the Goofy, although he literally hadn't trained at all and have never run a marathon before (and had only done the DLR half previously). I was amazed he survived!

I'll try to give a more thorough report when I get back the middle of next week. Had a great time, but I'm very tired after all this marathon weekend activity. Getting up early tomorrow for the Steam Trains tour at MK, which doesn't make me very happy...

See everyone soon!

 

[acourtwdw2]

Magix- congratulation on the PR and to your friend finishing the goofy. Have fun at wdw.

Great job Same to your friend

Can't wait to read more. Was it crazy busy due to the races? I want to do the full next year before I turn 40!
It's too cold to train outside and the eppi is so boring! But when it's 7 degrees what can you do?
Have a great night everyone

 

[nkkilala]

Magix, I can't wait to hear more!!!

I've been doing good this week and am 2 for 2 in workouts. Friday I start week 3 of the C25K program. I'm a bit behind but I hope to make it up soon. I'll just have to stop taking the weekend off!

 

[nkkilala]

Hey Ladies? Where did ya'll go??

I have done my first workout for week 3 of the C25K.....man that 5 minute run just about killed me! I actually didn't run for all of it....I did do 4min30sec the first time and then 4 minutes the second time through. I kinda feel like I failed but at least I was moving!!!


Good luck to all of you ladies this week!!! Keep on moving!!!
