Minne Marathon Team List

[angietuck2]

Thanks for this info Angie....I just booked through them also and it's always a bit nerve wracking going through a new (to me) agency...I'm so glad to see they are reliable with good customer service. The rates just couldn't be beat!

Lets just hope they don't make a liar out of me

I'm glad to see you are doing this one. Convinced DH to do it with me because Scott did it with Stephanie last year and then realized they aren't coming this year. So it will be good to have other guys.
Especially some around his pace.

Hi All! Coming out of lurkersville! I've lurked on the WISH boards for some time, and met a handful of you during Marathon Weekend - which was fantastic! I'd love to join you guys! I'm signed up for the Minnie 15K. I'll be in 5/1-5/6, staying at OKW. My DH actually suggested to me signing up, and taking my best friend for a girls weekend, so it's done! She won't be racing, but we're going to have a fantastic weekend!!!

I'm gonna hop over to the weekly thread and see if I can catch up! Thanks again!

OK "Team" - I officially promise that no one will hear me complaining of the heat during the Minnie!

It is sooo cold here right now!!! During the Minnie I will simply think back to this day and the feeling of frostbite after being outside 5 mins to take out the garbage, and be grateful for whatever hot and humid temperature Florida can throw at me!!!

I'm with you! It's so cold here that I find myself dreaming of the Florida warmth. I'll have to remind myself of that when I'm down there.

Don't worry. I'll compain enough for both of us. Yes, I'd give anything to be in FL heat now, but I still can't run in it.

MsMightyDuck - Do you sign up for southwest e-mail alerts or Dings? Just can't believe I'm gettign such great Southwest deals and you can't.

oh I am so jealous of all you Minnies!! DH and I are doing the Indy half on May 3rd, and now I am WISHing that I had signed up for the Minnie instead! Wait - the 15K is on Sunday, right? Could I possibly fly out of Indy on Saturday after the half and do the Minnie on Sunday?? Ok, somebody just whoop me upside the head!! I'm just going to miss seeing you guys so much!! I know you will have a blast!

Oh Carrie, you are so bad!! You're right, I do want to! Where's the devil over my shoulder smilie?? But the accountant in me is having a hard time justifying the cost. Darn budget constraints!! So, just in case...when is everyone arriving, and how long are you staying?? Maybe if I have an unexpected windfall soon, hmmm.....gotta start playing the lotto!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

On a related (slightly) topic, I'd like to get them a gift basket or something special since this will be their birthday trip (a bit late -- their birthday is at the end of April -- but close enough), but the Disney Florist is pretty high -- especially times two! Any ideas? I'm thinking something a bit grown up since it's a special birthday.

I don't know exactly, but I thought that there was a person off-site that was putting baskets together and was reasonably priced. If our seasoned experts here don't know you might ask on one of the other threads on DISboard. I know sometihng exists. Or, another thought...make up something and ship it to the resort.

If you bought $5 of lottery tickets per day from now until Minnie, that's be about $500. You could get plane fare for less than half of that. SO, consider it a savigns and just come! Yes, I'm sure your accounting brain does not like my find a way to justify brain.

Hi guys! You have me (Stacie) and DH (Matt--postemr) down for the 15K and 5K. My sister, Susan, (Larry's girl) is doing the 5K only. My mom (Bettie) is doing the 5K too! It will be so cool for all of us to do the 5k together. My mom is 64 and this will be her first event! She could totally walk circles around my sister and I though! She is such an energizer bunny! This is Susan's first event and Matt and mine's 2nd 5K...

I am so nervous about the 15K though! I hope my training goes well!

Good luck and happy training to all the other participants!

Stacie

Stacie, I am so happy that your Mom will be joining in the fun! Now I have competition for the elders group. She will best me too I'm sure.

I will be doing the 5K with my sister, and the 15K alone. Well, I will be surrounded by WISHers.

I was a frequent poster here last yr for the 5K in May, but started heavy at the gym and quit posting and running much. I was back on track training, but kept my worn out shoes and increased mileage way too quick, and am recovering from shin splint right now. I should be able to start back this weekend. Look forward to my first longer than 3 mile race!

Not sure where we are staying. Up to AP rates probably.

 

[CynthiaCindy]

I'm registered for the 15K with my sister (Melissa). I am thinking of also registering for the 5K but have to discuss that one with Dsis. This will be my first Disney race, so I am very excited!

No hotel reservations yet, but am thinking of trying out CSR.
