I just got airfare for May for the Minnie! Now, it feels like I'm really doing it! Of course, I've been training, but without airfare, you know, you're just not sure what's going to happen. Now to get a room!

LOL I was just coming to post the same thing...I just bought my airfare tonight...not bad of a deal, 3 r.t tickets through Airtran for $561. The cheapest I have found before that was $630 something, so I jumped on that!!! I am so excited I can't wait!!!!!! Now if the darn snow and sleet and rain would stop maybe we can start training!!!

Hey everyone,

Starting to put together a packing list. I have a standard packing list I use for all vacations but this is the first time I have travelled for a run.

Can anyone list some things we will need that we might not think of???

Thanks
kim

I can almost guarantee it will be HOT!! You will want to pack your warm weather gear.

You will want something to keep the sweat out of you eyes for sure!

Other than that I would say your normal stuff (shoes, socks, clothes, your "gu" of choice)

It is so exciting to hear some of you are getting your airline tickets, that makes it feel very real!!!

Yeah...like new boyfriend hot

Yeah...like new boyfriend hot

Really, Mel? I haven't had one of those in a really long time. Must be because my "old one" is pretty hot already! I think you can relate, too!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Hot weather wear as in this past January Full hot? Whew! that was killer hot.

 

[westcliffemom]

Make sure you pack your WISH gear (for me, only a bracelet for now, hoping to get a visor before we go.)

I read through that thread last night, and was making up my packing list. I really appreciated the mention of other shoes, for when you're done.

You might want to include a small bottle of sanitizer (can't remember if that was mentioned on the packing thread) in case the port a potties are out. I'm also packing gum, as I like to chew while I walk.

Since I'm doing the 5K & 15K, I'm bringing two of everything I'm wearing, one for each day, including bras, as I really do think it will be hot (as already mentioned), so I'll be sweating alot!! I'm also packing my heart rate monitor.

GIRLS---This is a boy free weekend, not talking of hot boyfriends

Lily--Hotter than January Hot!!! The good news is we will be done earlier (espeically for the people who did the full!!!!)

Last year it was soo hot and FOGGY!! The air just felt heavy for a long time!

sorry...just trying to be funny, a play on those goofy Yoplait ads. Guess I'd better get my wit meter checked...I've had a couple posts lately that didn't seem to come across the way I intended.

Mel -- I knew exactly what you were talking about and thought it was . Isn't it funny how some jokes (mine!) dont' come across on the internet? Tell your sweeties (all 3) I said "hi"!

Ooops...now I'm really embarrassed. It's been one of these kind of weeks at work I think I used up all my mental energy there.

Sooo, packing stuff. I'm going to try for all carry-on since I won't need much is the way of bulky clothing. My concern is the airline limitations on liquids that are carried on the plane. I didn't think they let that sanitizer stuff on the plane. Can anyone confirm this?

Let's see:
Shoes
Socks
Shorts (running and casual)
tank tops (running and casual)
sandals
visor/hat

I've never been one to use the Gu. I find the idea of it revolting. However, considering how hot it will be, should I reconsider and get used to it? I'll need something I'm sure....

I guess I better start looking for airline tickets. That will be my goal this weekend.

Off to do a 45 min run today! I'll let you all know how it goes!

 

[westcliffemom]

I think as long as it's under 3 oz, and is in a ziploc bag, and is shown to them seperately from your other items, you can take it on. At least, that was my understanding.

Darn! So, I can't bring my hot boyfriend?

And his red guitar goes so well with the Minnie theme!

Okay, so don't add us to the roster yet--but I think DH is coming around. Anyway, I just checked the disney website to look at online registration and it has a message that states that the race directors have closed on-line registration--Do they have a max for these races as well??? Or maybe it's just a glitch and we can still register via snail mail???

Kristi--Do bring your boyfriend!

 

[nucpharm29]

Yep, me again--must be a glitch with the link provided through disneyrunning.com b/c DH found the on-line registration to work through the disney website (duh, should've tried that first!)
