Minne Marathon Team List

[andromedaslove]

I was looking for this thread...... I need you guys to send some PD my way!! I just MIGHT be able to do this race. My Mom is offering to pay for it as my Mother's Day present because she wants to go down there with a friend of hers who's daughter is running the race too. Now I just have to convince DH that we should go!!

Dana

He might mind Chad & Zack also bunking with him.
I know (and have seen proof) of how much Charlie likes being between the girls!

OMG! I can't even respond to that!

I talked to the guy at Disney yesterday about volunteering. I opted for the "later" shift of 4:15-10AM. I asked for a water stop or giving out medals, but he could not say for sure what I would be doing...

So, I will be somewhere, with 9 of my friends, when/if I find out more I will report back!!!!

 

[Pungodingy]

We're staying at CBR....

This is very exciting! Being part of the WISH Minnie team is bound to help me keep on track; that plus my new green running shoes. I noticed on the list of members that I had never given my real name, it's Sharon...yes, I am a female, 54 years old, new to contests and looking forward to my first 15K.

 

[jeanneg]

welcome Sharon! We are both the same age! I just did my first walking event last April and this January I completed a full marathon with Nancy(padisneyfan) - another old broad! Don't let your age hinder you in any way. We older chics are awesome!

 

[WDWFAN9]

Don't let your age hinder you in any way. We older chics are awesome!

Amen to that!

Count me in - I am bringing my Sister (3rd year for both of us), my son - age 21 - last year he was the cute college guy yelling your times out at the 8 mile marker in front of the Rose and Crown, this year he is running
And hopefully my 17 year old niece - she did the race last year with us (with all of us in Minnie skirts and baseball hats) She was completely psyched to go this year too. But then....Senior prom is the same weekend and she has a new "flavor of the week".

Niece is waffling - hmmm, 4 hour dance or 4 days at Disney? Plus the winter formal already had long dress, cool dinner out and a surprise limo, so we don't know how prom would top that one. On one hand we really want her to come with us, on the other hand, we will not force her to go as we don't want to live with pouting and heavy sighs all weekend. Ahh the drama of high school! Stay tuned to see how this turns out.

I am not posting our hotel as Sis lurks on this board and the hotel is a surprise. We will be on site. Just hope she doesn't kill me when she finds out what we have done.

Tiger Lily - I am pretty sure I met you at both last year's Minnie start and Earl of Sandwich meet as well as at the start of the Chicago Half Marathon in August. Hoping to meet more of you this year as we bid a fond farewell to the 15K

Thanks Jeanneg, I'm trying to not let the running scare me, after all I can always walk. I'm still thinking of doing the 1/2 in Jan., I wish I had more time to make a decision but it appears to be filling up pretty quickly.
I'm with you, I think being 50+ is awesome.

 

[angietuck2]

Sharon We will keep you motivated!!
Dana MAJOR I REALLY HOPE YOU GET TO COME!!!!

OK so I'm super excited now. I knew we were coming and there was never a doubt but I just booked the hotel so it feels more real!!!!! I still haven't registered for either race, not worried about them filling up, but still trying to decide what I'm doing about 15 k. Don't know if I'm doing it with DH or friend or by myself, don't know if I'm buying park ticket when I sign up????? So many decisions. Anyway, with hotel deposit down, it feels more real.

Welcome Sharon

I am the other old broad that Jeanne is talking about. I'm the older and prettier one. Jeanne is the brains behind our getting into this whole race thing. Since we both completed the Mickey this year and have the medals to prove it, I guess it wasn't such a bad idea. Though if you had asked me that around mile 18, I might not have thought it then. We are both walkers.

We need the Minnie medal to go with Mickey. I am also planning to do the 1/2 in 2009.

It looks like we have a great group of people doing the Minnie.

Nancy

 

[SamSam]

Thanks so much for the warm welcomes. I've downloaded the 1/2 marathon form and will going over Hubby and my schedules to decide if the 1/2 can be fit in this next year. Either way, I'll be training for the Minnie and this board has been a great motivator!

 

[Cindylou]

Hi Anne,

Could you add me to the roster for the 15K? I will be staying at the Carribean Beach Resort.

Thanks.
Cindy

Hi Anne,

Could you add me to the roster for the 15K? I will be staying at the Carribean Beach Resort.

Thanks.
Cindy

You will? Cool! Charlie and I will be there Saturday night!

 

[Cindylou]

Excellent. I hope we'll see you. You'll always be the first WISHer I met.

Cindy

 

[Maherae]

Updated!

Dana, !!

I'm still older than all ya'll!!

 

[Honeibee]

Excellent. I hope we'll see you. You'll always be the first WISHer I met.

Cindy

Awwww...... I'm glad you're coming.




But Anne, judging by the threads I read today, you are certainly the Most Popular! EVERYONE LOVES ANNE!

 

[Maherae]

Actually, it's misplaced. I told troublemaker Optimator/Mike that it was everyone SCREAM TEAMING that made those people smile. I just happened to have the camera ready. THAT'S the truth!

 

[DianeL]

Dearest Anne!

I had the pleasure of watching you in action at the Half Marathon both during the early early hours as the first racer came thru and later as the last racers went past the Polynesian. You definitely deserve World's Greatest Cheerleader. Your an inspiration!

This is going to be the bestest weekend ever! I have my countdown set and will commence packing lists in a month or so

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Kim, I am glad you're back and Government is giving ya a bit of a breather.

Dana, don't worry, DH can do it without you. You're going to Disney!

SamSam, I started this stuff when I was 55 (my first 1/2 was with the 2005 WISH Walkers) and I've been going ever since! You can do it! Just keep moving and be careful not to do too much too quickly. Build it up. It does get better.
