Girls Trip~OLD THREAD (see first post for link to new one)

I'm not ready either. I did a Half the first weekend in December (my slowest time yet) and have not run at all since that race. My goal is just to finish in the time allowed.

That's pretty much my goal. I've been dealing with some stuff and haven't run at all since ... October? It's bad. I'm trying to get out the rest of the week leading up to it so I can walk and jog without dying. I just want to finish. That's all. Do they count the 16 min/mile from th time you start or once everyone has started?

They start the 3 1/2 hour limit when the last person crosses the starting line. So try to get to the front of your corral, as far in front as you can get the better.

Do you know your Bib #? I'm #3535

I'm sure you will do fine. I ended up walking pretty much the last half of the Vegas race and was hardley jogging the first half (way to many people) and finished in 3 hours 11 minutes.

If anyone is going to be at Disneyland the weekend of the Tinker Bell Half Marathon (January 28th and 29th) and wants to meet up let me know.

My mom and I are having breakfast at Steakhouse 55 on Saturday at 10:00am and then dinner at Marri's Pizza (on Katella) around 6:30pm for dinner that night if any one wants to join us.

OKay, I've never been to the store, but I just Googled it and this is what I came up with:
1601 E Cerritos Ave, Anaheim, CA 92805

The address of the Carousel where you are staying is:
1530 S. Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim, CA 92802

Put those both into Google maps and this is what it gives you:
1. Head north on S Harbor Blvd toward W Manchester Ave 0.5 mi
2. Turn right onto W Ball Rd 0.4 mi
3. Turn right onto S Anaheim Blvd 0.5 mi
4. Turn left onto E Cerritos Ave 0.9 mi
Destination is on the left
1601 E Cerritos Ave
Anaheim, CA 92805

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=1...aheim,+CA+92802&vpsrc=6&gl=us&mra=ls&t=h&z=15




Not sure if that's the best/easiest way, but it's what Google gave me. There were three other choices, but they all look fairly straight forward. If there's a better route, I'm sure Jill will let us know. Hope that helps.

Thanks, that different from what I remember but hopefully we'll all be following each other.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I can keep the pace just walking so if u can even jog/walk part of it I will be Ok. I'm just freaking myself out a little is all.

I've got to check what time my cousin and aunt are leaving on Saturday but I may be up for joining you guys for one (probably dinner) I'll letyou guys know tomorrow.

ETA: I'm losing my marbles. They aren't leaving until Sunday, duh.

As far as my costume for the M&G, I may just end up wearing a t-shirt unless I loose some weight by February . One of the pieces I bought is a little too snug right now and I look like a stuffed sausage. I refuse to buy another costume so I started eating better and exercising yesterday and hopefully I look okay by the time the trip rolls around. If not, t-shirt it is .

Crazy girl you are a hottie!
Drink green tea in the morning and 2-3 liters of water throughout the day - no soda's - that should jump start you And you can always hop over to my room during the trip where I will be making a healthy breakfast every morning

Is anyone planning on doing the DL Half this Septemeber? DH just gave me permission so I will be there as long as I can get my entry early enough. Thankfully I should have a free frequent flyers flight by then.

I want to! But I'm waiting to see how next week goes before I decide. I think if anything I'll be there for the 5K! Its close enough to my birthday that it works for a birthday gift to myself.

Sitting here to my thoughts I came up with a M&G theme for next year It's never too early to start planning and thinking right? haha

 

[Belle Ella]

Let me know when you register ;-)

Oh, and Sarah I forgot to mention that I don't know my bib number just yet for next weekend. I haven't had a real internet connection for a while. Hoping to get that figured out tomorrow. Aaaaah it's so close.

 

[tinkermell]

Beth, could you please add me to the list for CoD.

The directions to CoD doesn't sound right to me either. Seems to me that we were on a College Street somewhere along the way? Of course I was just a passenger....LOL...

I also have absolutely no idea what I am going to wear to the Meet and Greet. I had a great idea, but do not have the time to sew it up. So, I might be joining Katie in the tee shirt attire.

Katie, You must be looking pretty hot, if you have been getting asked out for dates!!!

I will be wearing an "appropriately themed" tee shirt and jeans. Or shorts. Depending on weather. LOL

 

[Belle Ella]

Oh man, I wanted to do something really fun to dress up but now I'm not so sure I can figure anything out, lol.

Oh, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can get a friend of mine to come along. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Evening ladies. I'm sorry I haven't been on a great deal (had some stuff going on w/ my heart and the military has started the process of determining if I'm still fit for duty).

So here's me catching up a bit.

I apologize for being late on both the shirt and scavenger hunt $. They will both go out tomorrow on my way home from work, I promise.

Also I saw somewhere that Michelle posted about myself, Amy, and her all having girls selling Girl Scout Cookies. I will not have the cookies prior to leaving for the trip so if you are interested please order from them. I appreciate the thought.

I am going to do the schedule tags for our lanyards. I will hand the majority out at the meet and greet. For those that are not able to attend I will have extras on my lanyard to hand out accordingly. I'll make sure I have plenty. Because our trip lines right up with my box top coordinator duties for our upcoming deadline I need to have the trip itinerary firm by February 17th. I will be making them on the 18th. So if there are any changes made after that date the tags won't reflect. I apologize for having to put a deadline on what I will put on the tags but I have to count 10,000+ box tops that weekend as well (almost all of the teachers wait until the last day to turn in their envelopes).

Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, and/or concerns. I will put the itinerary from page 1, so if any changes are needed/requested please make sure that Beth is aware of them (I know she's great an making sure it reflects what's going on).

Hi Steph, we've missed you terribly around here!

Hey, I was planning on bringing all the box tops I've been collecting for you and giving them to you in our room, but if you need them before the trip, I can mail them as soon as possible. Also, if you need any help counting box tops over the weekend, I am your girl.

Speaking of your heart, how are you? Are you still having problems? This worries me!

Hi Lisa

No need to mail them. The post mark date on the box(es) is 1 March. I plan on having the bulk done the weekend prior to the trip (no counting on the trip .... I appreciate the offer. ). I will end up going back to the school the day after I get back from the trip as there's almost always 1-2 teachers that miss the deadline. I'll add any that are given to me to those.

Up until New Years everything was going alright, specialist and family doctor both cleared me to start exercising. We in the past 2 1/2 weeks that I've been exercising I've had some issues (not during the exercising) that have some cause for concern. I had an appointment with my family doctor today but it was rescheduled for next week (she is out on maternity leave now). Also waiting on a return call from the cardiologist. I've decided to stop exercising until I talk with them both and figure out what's going on. In the end I'm doing okay, hope that I'm being overly cautious and that everything is alright.

Thanks again, I really appreciate that you are giving me your box tops.

Before then I'm sure Jill will let us know which directions are correct.

Beth, could you please add me to the list for CoD.

The directions to CoD doesn't sound right to me either. Seems to me that we were on a College Street somewhere along the way? Of course I was just a passenger....LOL...

If you click on the link, Google maps actually offers 3 different suggestions on how to get there from the Carousel hotel. I simply picked the first one but it might not be the easiest or most preferable.
I'll add you to the CoD list now.

I need to have the trip itinerary firm by February 17th. I will be making them on the 18th. So if there are any changes made after that date the tags won't reflect.

Hi Steph! Thanks again for doing these. No problem on the deadline. I believe it's almost all firmed up now, just waiting on confirmation from Bridget's contact on one or two of the meals. But by then it should be set in stone.

Thinking of you and hoping all is well.

Double post - Just kidding!

Bree and I ordered zazzle t-shirts for the M&G. And we will probably wear them with jeans.

Mine is kinda small on me (darnit), so Katie don't fret, we can be sausage-y looking together and no one better say a word!

And I echo whoever reminded us to PM Laurie - I finally decided what to bring and someone beat me to it! Back to the thinking board.
