Minne Marathon Team List

[Maherae]

HAH!! As if YOU haven't been up finishing papers/projects for school that late/early!!

So glad you are taking a Minnie break!!

 

[twoWDWfools]

Wendy have a safe drive as well as anyone else doing a long drive for Minnie!!!

We'll be arriving later Wednesday evening. I think we'll be on property around 7 pm. Wooohooo!!!

i have my luggage out today, tossing things in but you know my 2 WISH shirts are already packed (doing both races). The pom-poms are ready to go in the bag too.

Speaking of pom-poms i have a Race checked bag question for the Minnie. For Marathon weekend the bags are clear for the goodie bags but from the photos i've seen in the past the Minnie goodie bags are black bags. Do they give you a 2nd bag to check for the races? Those black minnie bags looked so cute I'm not sure I'd want to leave it LOL

another question about the Minnie checked bag area. Can I finish the race, grab my checked bag and then get back to the area were everyone was on the side of the finish chute cheering last year? I was thinking of tossing in a pom-pom or cow bell for me to have at the finish line. My 15K goal is to push and get thru as fast as I can so I can have some fun cheering at the end

We are about bouncing off the walls here!

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

That sounds like a great goal, DianeL!! I'll probably get done in time to do about 9-10 minutes of cheering for other Minnie runners I hope you are there to cheer me in though

 

[cdotla]

Me too!! My flight is also due in at 10:10am.

We should have a little WISH meet at MCO (Orlando Airport) - LOL!

Hey Nancy - my flight is also due in about 10am. I'll be using ME to get over to CB.

...BTW - has this thread ever "picked up the pace", pardon the pun! We've gone through 3-4 pages in 1 day! Excitement is in the Air!!!

Hi,
I had a minor training set back this week and I have to share. I had oral surgery Monday and it was much more invasive and exhausting than I had expected. I haven't run since my 10 miler last Saturday and I'm not sure when I'll be able to run again. I'm not even allowed to drink with a straw because of the pressure!

I'm trying to see the bright side...this is the ultimate taper. I should be very well rested by race day. Also my 10 miler was one of those incredible running experiences. By mile 7 I hit autopilot and it was effortless! I'm going to remember how great it felt and hope for the same on race day.

Thanks for listening. I'm so excited!
Katie

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for welcoming me to this board and for adding me to the walkers list. I will look for green shirts. I used to have a green WISH band but the kitty thought it was his toy and has hidden it

Yes, I have already prepurchased my pins and will be attending the pin event the night before at Animal Kingdom. It's going to be a busy week!

I will be arriving in MCO at 9:15 am on Friday and will ME to BWV.

I walked the dog today for four miles and I think he thought he was on the Bataan Death March He was a little exhausted.

I am very excited but am nervous that I have to get all of my pins AND clothes in one suitcase and not go over 50 pounds. The first thing I will pack is my Glide. Love that stuff. I put it ALL OVER MY BODY

Hope to see the lime green peeps ( limies as my dh calls them ) at the starting line.

Susan

I want to jump in here and say I am so sorry I have not been on this thread more, I have been on the weekly thread all the time. One year a go I LIVED for this thread because the MINNIE was the first race where I was going to meet all my WISH peeps, finally!!!! And one year later they have gotten me through so much, including back surgery and not knowing if I was going to be able to run anymore!!!! I am so excited about MINNIE it is going to be an exciting weekend and I hope everyone's last little bit of training this weekend goes well!!!

 

[MomtoGKC]

1st.. It's called HORMONES, don't sleep much!!

2nd...Ummmm, MomtoGKC/Amy, what is the NAME of the 10K and WHERE is it..hmmm? We have this thing called an event calendar. From the event calendar comes the weekly Race Reports/Encouragement/Kudos thread where your team mates get to cheer you on and live vicariously through your race report! So, 'fess up!

And I'll give a brief PSA (aka Lily)..the calendar really helps people to 1) see if others may be doing a same race, and 2) see if someone is doing/has done a race that looks interesting for the future. So, even the "only" 5K's, 10K's are worth posting, my friends!
and now, back to the thread..

By the way, WHO's bringing the name tags to the WISH meet? Liz?

Also, I'm adding the JellyRolls meet to the first page... Anne

I barely have time to keep up with this thread, I haven't ventured out beyond here much. The 10K tomorrow is called the Bull Run (there's a 5K as well) and it's in Boca Raton, FL. I'll have to go find that thread and see if anyone else is doing it! Of course it is 10:20 so I should be asleep so I won;t miss the alarm tomorrow morning!

 

[CynthiaCindy]

Good Morning Minnie Teammates!

I can't believe it is getting so close - in one week the 5k will already be over!

I'm getting ready to go out on a 20 mile run (Obviously not part of my Minnie training - I'm running the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon on June 1). Ok, actually, I am totally stalling. I should have gotten out there a lot earlier, but am feeling lazy. It's already 70 here and should be up to 80 by the time I am finished This will be my first time this year doing a long run in that kind of weather - I'll just view it as practice for the Minnie!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Should we call you Cathy?

Good grief, you will totally rock the Minnie putting in that kinda mileage! So I guess Minnie is just a cutback run? Which RnR is on June 1? I'm doing RnR in Va Beach, but not til Labor Day weekend.

Mel.....I be right there with you girl! Va. Beach here come the Wishers!

Wow we must be neighbors!!! I was planning on doing the Bull Run 10k but didn't realize it was the week before the Minnie 15k and I am not in the shape to push it and do 2 races back to back like that. The 10k race is put on my by running group (Boca Raton Road Runners)

I hope you weren't too tired for your 10k this morning and I am curious to see how it went. I wanted to volunteer but then house remodeling projects happened and I am busy today (just taking a break!!)

I am local to the Boca Raton area so if you are local to that area as well maybe we will see each other sometime.

DH told me I should wear my WISH hat so we can find each other!

 

[dsnyfan21]

gee.... by this time next week I'll be waking up in my WDW hotel room, going to a park and meetin up with some WISHers that I get to meet for the first time!! Yeah!

The excitement is building!!

 

[joan4mickey]

I just went over to the disneyrunning site and looked at all the pixs and reports from 2006 & 2007. I can't believe 10 weeks ago I posted on this board about thinking about running and you all were so excited that one more would want to run/walk the Minnie. You welcome each new poster with open arms. Next week at this time I hope to have gotten the chance to meet some of you.

This week will fly as I finish my training and prepare everything to leave.

I'm just so excited and I think my family maybe getting tired of hearing about the race ( I know they are proud of me) so I come here to share my excitement.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Not sure if anyone's interested, but I was just over at the weather.com website checking the 10day forecast for Disney. On Saturday the high is forecast at 89, partly cloudy, low of 60 and rain chance of 20%.
Sunday high of 87, low of 66, Scattered T-Storms and rain chance of 60%.
Seeing as how the forecast is a long time out so far, I hope it changes. I don't like getting rained on.

Take care all, this time next week I'll be getting ready to hit the sack and get some rest.

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

What do y'all do to prepare for rain? I am still a relative newbie and have never had to run in rain
