Hakuna Matata Happy New Year!

[bunnyfoo]

Hi team! I did 5K on the treadmill this morning! It was one of those so-so runs. I like running with my iPod but something about the TM is so boring. I can't wait to get back outside!

My running skirt arrived on Friday. I picked the purple/lilac color since they were out of the navy/blue skirts. I think I'm going to be 100% glow in the dark since the purple is pretty bright and so is the WISH shirt I also got a free tank top which was really cool! It's cotton so it will probably just be worn around the parks.

I still have to find an old throw away sweatshirt or top. We had a clothing drive at work last month so I really don't have much to choose from anymore.

Have a great Saturday everyone!!

Hi everyone, I did a muggy 5k in 26 minutes.

Vicky, I'm sure you'll love your new skirt. I just got a new one myself.

Best,
Jennifer

Wind chill is at -4.

Hi,team! Been so long you probably don't even remember me! I have been sending my times/miles to Connie, though, and contributing to the team. One of my resolutions for this year is to figure out a way to get on the thread more often. So.....here I am!

Good luck to all of you going to Marathon Weekend!

Hi Kathy and of course we remember you. Welcome back, it is tough going it alone so you should keep your friends close so they can carry you when you need it. I have a blog now to for passing on positive thoughts. I haven't had time for the last couple of days but I usually do a daily entry.

Hi everyone.

Hi everyone!

I've been around, busy weekend and many meals with the kids. Nick and I went to walmart to buy a nerf game for the Wii along with the guns. We've been running around the house shooting each other laughing like fools. We also have managed to play the game as well as download a western shooting one for Mark - which we all enjoy.

Went for my final PT on Friday and it hurt like hell so not much going on in the exercise dept. but I do have my 1 hour of PT to count and my range of motion is so good I've been discharged to do it on my own.

Today I do laundry and set aside my clothes for WDW - we leave Thursday. I will not be at the Expo on Thursday unless it's later as we arrive around 1PM that day. Our plan is to go early Friday morning. I had wanted to meet some of you that day but we changed our flight to 1 - save $375 and 2 so Miranda (new mom to be) could get a few hours sleep that morning.

Dave and Erica - do you know where you'll be as a volunteer? If I"m not mistaken, your leaving today. Have a safe trip and see you soon.

Hopefully you all get your pins in time for the trip.

Well off to have some quiet time before the "shooting starts". We do have fun.

Happy Sunday Team.

Pretty cold weekend here but was out early both days for my run. Gald I did. By the afternoon the wind was strong & cold.

Pilates Monday night & short run Tuesday. Wednesday I'm out of here.

Well I've got to run.....more housework & the dog to walk.....Sue

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Well it's still muggy in Alabama.

I ran 5 miles in 45 minutes and almost got hit by a car.

Best,
Jennifer

I ran 4 miles this morning on the TM. I tried out my new running skirt which is great! I also tried out my new waist pouch which bounces a little with my camera and phone inside. I also just noticed that the inside pouch has a little tag stitched on the inside that says "sample not for resale". Great. Here's hoping it doesn't come apart during the race.

Jen - Yikes! Glad you're okay!

Sue - I think I've gotten lazy. I can't seem to motivate myself to run outside anymore. Oh well, my next race after Disney isn't until May so I may just take a small break from running.

Scott - That's pretty chilly! Only a couple more sleeps until WDW!

Kathy - I remember you! Stop by when you can

Denise - Glad to hear the PT has been going well!

Connie - I'm going to send you a PM with my miles. I guess I should have been working with a spreadsheet all along!

Anne - Did you decide on your old or new shoes?

Ok, that's all for now! Take care everyone

[Villains_Rock]

Hey guys...today is my last LR before the trip. 8 miles...then one or two 3 milers..then the race!! Still no wedding pics uploaded...we'll get them scanned sooner or later. Geesh is it just me, or do the rest of you guys have a nervous stomach anytime you think about this weekend. It's hard to be excited for EE and ToT because I keep thinking "26.2....what?!?!"!

Margie - We also leave in Thursday since Jordan had to work. He's taking a half day and we are booked standby on the 3 something flight out of Cleveland. We'll get in late, get our car and hit the grocery before checking in for the night.

Vivky - Did you order the "sample" on eBay? I had probs with the last pair of shoes I ordered on there and have sworn off eBay for awhile.

Jennifer - I always have to be very conscience of cars when I run because I tend to zone out. Lately I haven't been running with my iPod and it's helped.

Scott, Lynn, Sue...safe travels to ya! See you soon!

Dave and Erica...hope you arrive safe and happy! Won't be long now!!

 

[Scott H]

Yep just a couple days of work yet then we are off to WDW,

KEWL we wil see some of ya soon.

Good Morning Team!

Is everyone packed? I'll finish up tonight. Now that the race is only a few days away the waiting is brutal.

Eva, No matter how many races I have completed I still get major race anxiety. You've done the training. Relax & enjoy the race experience.

Have a great Monday......Sue

 

[bunnyfoo]

Morning everyone! I'm finding it hard to concentrate today - my mind is on the weekend. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone too! I'm still working on packing, I started doing laundry yesterday afternoon and then I ran out of detergent. D'oh!

I'm hearing rumours of a snow storm on Tuesday. I'm hoping this won't affect our (or anyone else's) travel plans too much.

Margie- I'm leaving early Thursday morning. Getting up will be good practice for Saturday morning!

Eva - I bought the pack at a local running store. I checked it out and it seems okay. I think I'm too late to make a change now I should have been more careful. I'm hoping it's was just a sample for the store to inspect rather than a prototype.

Well, I will be off to the gym tonight to get in a bit of a workout and have my PT check me over! Safe travels everyone!!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Cold and windy here this morning, I am waiting for the chill index to get above 9 below 0 before walking this morning.

We are packed and ready to go, except for the last minute stuff. Scott will work all day tomorrow, and we will drive to Denver when he gets home, then fly out Wednesday morning. We are flying into Tampa, then driving to Orlando from there. We are looking forward to seeing all of you who are traveling.

Safe travels to everyone who is traveling!

Have a great day!

 

[Steffwalks]

Oh gosh! Nearly everyone is leaving!! I will be watching you all If I can find your numbers!

So, all I have to say is: Have Fun!

 

[Rpsemont]

HI All!

Is everyone packed? I'll finish up tonight. Now that the race is only a few days away the waiting is brutal.

I started my list for packing, but need to search threads here for packing lists to see what I missed. I know what to pack for WDW, just not the race. And I agree, the waiting IS brutal!

Vicky - I decided to wear the old sneakers. Haven't decided if I'm going to take the new ones or not. I haven't worn them outside yet, I'm thinking I might still be able to return them.

I was stressing over the weather and my clothing options and Friday picked up some tight running pants to wear under my shorts and well as some "lightweight" what I thought are wicking socks. I did 6 miles on the TM on saturday in my outfit. Pants were fine, but am I glad I tried out the socks. I think they're way to thin, I had a serious almost blister on the underside of my big toe. I may just wear my regular old cotton socks.
bunnyfoo - that's the only thing I forgot to wear on Saturday was my fanny pack. I'm hoping since I walk/run, it won't be much of an issue.

Safe travels to all. I fly down Friday morning and DH, DD and Friend arrive Friday afternoon. Hope to meet some or all of you at POP.

Anne

 

[katwalks]

Gosh, you're all almost off to WDW! DH and I were there at the beginning of December. Even though I just got back, I'm still jealous! I just love being down there, especially when we got back home and the temp was a high of 5 degrees!

Best wishes to all of you and safe travels!

 

[Scott H]

We are off to Denver after work then an early flight tomorrow.

Excited and can't sleep...

I know we will forget something
