Liz, you are going to do GREAT! I'm going to walk a bit this morning as well (TM), then stretch and hope to God that things feel ok. Tonight we are going to see Shrek the Musical.
I am a bit sad leaving the girls, I have never left them before.
BUT... I am so looking forward to Craig having to do everything for 4 days.
Whatever.Like you would actually admit when something looks cute or sexy. And by the way neither CUTE nor SEXY changes with a small little smidgen in size change. But yes - yes it's about your head - I know.
I know CUTE and SEXY Nancy.
Just got my staples out. Tried to pull one out myself yesterday just for the fun of itbut Jean started screaming at me.
Can you see how bored I am?
AND - sighing very loudly - I got the same clinic doctor to check my urine because I felt something wasn't right and I have a bladder infection. I asked at the hospital don't you want to check my urine before you let me go? NOPE. No urine check. Yes I know bladder infection is nothing AND VERY COMMON occurrence for many - but it's not comforting to say the least in my situation and if I hadn't found it. At 16 I had one misdiagnosed - became a UTI and I was hospitalized when it arrived at my kidneys. So I know nothing big but you know not comforting right now. Thank God I"m very intuitive - no huge signs - pain hard to tell b/c of other pain in the area - just felt something wasn't right. I guess it was probably from the catheter.
Lisa,I am happy to hear Jean stoped you, Bladder infection on top of everything, you poor thing
WAY TO GO LIZ!!
4 miles done is just under an hour 57:58
My arch started to hurt just as I was finishing, I am going to shower and strech.
Nancy - I would do anything to be at your race - really. Honestly. I hope that is clear. ANYTHING. I'm taking a HUGE RISK even entering the US with medical insurance if something happens if I go from the March 13-19 or so. I don't know if I'm keeping that one and I thought maybe I could go as early as the 7/8 which would put me near Erika time. I have to watch it day by day. It's the AP that is taunting me - AP plus DVC huge taunt - no money needed. I eat on nada at WDW. Really. Jean and I have come home after spending $200 (on everything not just food) at the high end.
re the insurance - if something happens they do anything not to pay and to be over there a month after surgery when my recovery is siix weeks minimum well very risky. My thought is to take a cab to the airport and get on a plane immeidiately if I felt even a stomachache.
I'll see how I feel right up to the last minute. I would hate to be here and have the opportunity and feel fantastic but no go with no money being put out. Flights are nonsense that I have with SW. Just straight SW nonsense.
Whew - thought the DIS lost my post. That would not have been cool. Perhaps I still have some good karma left after all.
Nha, I think it's on. It matched my friend's Garmin for a 5 miler, we will see how it does on race day!
Good morning Karen,
Nancy , good luck on ur run, take care on that back.
I am in total pre trip freak out.
Good job on the 10 Liz!!
Paula, makes sense about the family. Rey & I actually intend on having a long weekend all to ourselves next year at the Princess! We never had a honeymoon, and have never gone away alone in the 20 years we've been together! I wanted to get away this year for our Anniversary, but we really couldn't pull it off with a family vacation and a friends wedding we are going to in November...although that will be alone, so we'll actually get TWO trips away in less than a year!
Now, if they had brought me cookies I may not have found them so irritating 
But it was a great show, great costumes (because of course I notice these things )
And of course I didn't forget your song...just didn't type it out. But if you have ever listened to it, it's totally self explanatory!
And last year it was awesome as it came on as I was coming through MK!
As I was leaving the gym, I saw there there is a 4 mile run at the end of March and it's chip timed! (rare out here where I live) I really want to register, but I'M SCARED!!!! First off, I've never done 4 miles, second, I'll be all alone, third, what if I can't do it?...fourth...fifth...uh...anyone ever get scared before signing up for their first race??? 
Morning Jo and everyone else to follow!
Kat, you need a weekend from your weekend! Shew! I was tired just reading it.
Good job on the 10 Liz!!

Snowing this morning! It's been a while since I've said that
I'm going to attempt a run this morning. I have 8 miles on my schedule, but I'm going to see how the body feels. At this point, I think the discomfort is just that. Discomfort, as opposed to injury.
I think my official pre-trip freakout has begun.
Paula - so glad you had a fabulous weekend! Have fun playing with the cranes today! I hope it goes off without a hitch.
Lisa -absolutely take care of yourself. I can't even imagine what a logistical nightmare international healthcare could get to be! And
Karen - after 20 years I think you guys have definitely earned some time alone!
Lisa, you know I think I am cute and sexy all the time, so trust me when I say there is no sexy in this shirt. But I designed it, so that's my fault!
Girl next door cute, sure. I'll have to work on rocking that. I usually go for hot mom.
!
I was actually going to type that Liz must still think she's sexy. She's Liz. Boy that must be some top. 
But I did think of Liz especially - when there is cancer - how awful it must be to feel so incredibly naseous during chemo/radiation. That must be incredibly difficult. to all.
E, I think the alone thing is more of going by myself and not knowing what I'm doing, where to line up, how things work at a race, etc. I actually love the solitude of running, but I think I'm nervous about looking like a noob or being the slowest, fattest, etc. at the race. As for time, yes, I'm competitive to a point, but mostly with myself. I kind of compete with myself? Hard to explain. Yes, I could have walked to 4 today, but I would have been disappointed if I had, so I guess it is about time/competition to a point. If I were at Disney, I think I would be less worried and soaking up the atmosphere, but if I'm just running a 4 mile race and it's timed, I don't want to come in dead last!
Could Ray and the kids drive you? Just so you felt that comfort? I made N do that once for me.So funny.
The meds - infection meds - are making me feel beyond AWFUL. Naseous. Crapola. Crap. Crap. Crap. I can't even get out "at least I have legs".
I'm just feeling down today. Probably lack of intense exercise too - I so need that for my mental health.
Okay, off.
Seriously, i feel hot in tank tops...this is a boy shirt. Not in a good way. Again, blame me! If I had high heels I could work it out, but I'm not that committed, you know? there were about 50 runners, all real runners and me. I was dead last, dead last. The ambulance was behind me the whole time. I have to say I cried.Then I came home and ordered me a WISH shirt. But, I think about that race often.
Karen, I have to tell you the story of my 4 mile race.
First started from being fat lazy @$$ in Dec 2009 to signing up for my first 5K in April 2010, in my training I tried to go for 4 miles and I could not, I had to have my hubby come get me. He was like "what are you thinking going that far, you have only done 2 miles" anyway, I finished my first 5K in 52 mins in the pouring rain, the following week there was a 4 miles race, I was on a runner high so I signed up. HA.
And if I never ever tried to run in the first place then I would never be almost on my way to WDW to meet some most fabulous woman.
Totally amazing story!!! You should be SO proud of yourself, Jo! The point is not that you were last in that race, but that you STARTED!!! Right?
Wish motto!
Don't you look back on it, and think how far you have come?

Hopefully it won't be like that for me, but if it were, I would think of your story and keep running! I did look up this race from last year and there were TONS of people who ran/walked at 18:00, so I think I'll be good.
Wow! So inspiring!
Rey & the kids may come IF he's home. He's a truck driver, so he's gone for a few weeks at a time. Next time he's due home is in 2 weeks on my birthday! If he's not home, I'll be good, I'll just email the people in charge and ask all my questions so I don't feel like an idiot not knowing where to go and what to do.
So it's official, I registered!
