Thanks guys!! Yes your right...there is nothing like everyone cheering you on when you finish...Have you guys done the TOT run before? After we signed up I heard it was the least favorite from a lot of Disney runners, which was kinda disappointing. Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend!!

I'm very scared about the distance and the heat! Don't worry. BUT I know even if I have to crawl over the finish line I will get there! The only thing I don't want is to be swept and given a medal when I didn't finish.

From what I've heard the reason for it being least favorite is because of the heat. I've been told by a few people that TOT for them was "one and done". But maybe Melissa can chime in. This is my first TOT and she has done it more than a couple times!

This is year 3 for me for running ToT 10miler. The first one was very boring with lack of characters and entertainment on the course. The second year the characters tripled on course and it was so much better but a lot of runners do not like the humidity while running. I thoroughly enjoy ToT plus you get a medal that is fun to play with!

Yeah I live here so I'm use to running in the heat..I was looking forward to it being at night because the humidity is more tolerable...it has been pretty hot outside lately so hopefully come Oct we will get some relief!
Next year I'm going to set myself a goal to do the Food and Wine half!

I'm still undecided what my first half will be. I may want to quit running after TOT.

It's been hot here this summer and we have high humidity but nothing compares to Florida. October 2012 I was constantly pouring sweat down my back (ew!) just from walking. It started at 8am as soon as I went outside my hotel room.

I really really really hope it cools down before TOT 10 Miler!

It has cooled down dramatically in Minnesota so I am looking forward to the heat!

haha Yeah I know you won't let that happen.

Worst thing about it cooling off here is running is feeling easy and it's going to be a major shock to go BACK up to those hot temperatures. I'm still hoping for a freak cold front to come over Florida JUST for the TOT run.

ONLY THREE MORE WEEKS! 21 days!!!

September 26th- I will gas up my Jeep, check the oil and fill the washer fluid so it's all ready to go the next morning!

September 27th - I will get up at 6am and get all my stuff in the car and be driving by 7am! I should get to Melissa's house around 4:30/5pm . We are talking about going to the Winnipeg Jets vs minnesota wild game that night! GO JETS GO!

September 28th - Apparently now we are getting up at the "butt crack of dawn" and I am getting gas station coffee (Oh Tim Hortons how I'll miss you!) and we are driving to KENTUCKY! Why you ask? Well we are going to see one of Melissa's sisters and I think she's having a JAMBERRY party!

September 29th - We get up and drive to Nashville! Going to spend some time on Broadway and Third street! Shannon is done work at 5pm so we will head over to her area (Right near the Blue Bird Cafe!!!) and go somewhere together for supper and then back to Shannon's for the night!

September 30th - Shannon will head out EARLY for work. Melissa and I will go do some fun Nashville stuff until lunch time....where we get to go to LOVELESS CAFE for lunch with some awesome Disney friends of ours!!!!! Our "other" Shannon and MJ!!!!! I'm so excited they are going to drive up and have lunch with us at my favourite place in the whole world!

Melissa and I will then do more nashville stuff all afternoon and evening. Back to Shannon's house to sleep.

October 1st - Again Nashville stuff all day. I think we have to head out for DisneyWorld around 7pm...so just after supper! Because crazy pants wants to be checking in at BCV at 6am!

And the rest of the plans are pretty much the same I think for the rest of the days!

That is completely normal for someone excited to get to Disney! besides it allows us to avoid Atlanta during the rush hour

WOOHOO!!

We have received our cruise booklets, luggage tags and our MAGIC BANDS!

17 more days till I leave for Melissa's house!

 

[HeatherLassell]

Our cruise group ordered over 100 bracelets! Now we just have to see someone with the bracelet on and we can go say hi since we will know they are part of our group! (It's on a closed group on Facebook, and I borrowed this picture from the girl who ordered the bracelets for us!)

I wish we had gone with the purple and black but I guess the Mickey mouse colours will have to do!
