Minnie Marathon 2007 -- WISH Roster (see post 1 for WISH Meets Info!)

[keenercam]

Hi everybody!

I *totally* just got called out by Cam on the weight loss thread for not signing up for the Minnie roster and meets so here I am!

Sorry, Jennifer! Didn't want you to miss out on all the fun of being part of this awesome group! Be sure to look for our glowing lime green shirts at race start. Better than coffe I tell 'ya!

 

[nucpharm29]

CAm--now wait just a minute--our glowing green shirts are a substitute for my morning jolt of joe??? Please don't replace my coffee!!!! I thought you were on my side!

 

[keenercam]

No way, Stephanie! We coffee afficionados know there is NO substitute. Hey, did I tell you I have already bought wawa hazelnut coffee and put it on my packing pile? Yes, and I also have disposable coffee cups & lids (16 oz) to take to the start with me.

I don't think I will be able to make any of the meets We have dinner reservations at 5pm on sat and then we are meeting friends on sunday. But I am staying at BWV, so I *might* be able to sneek down to jellyrolls on sunday. It would probably be after the kids go to sleep.....

I bought a bright lime green tank top today, so maybe I will wear that to the 15k and I can pretend I am wearing a WISH one Too bad I don't have one of those bedazzler things and I could put WISH in rhinestones on it

9 days til I leave

Cam--Okay, I feel better now! But I now have realized that I'm going to be in a little bind--I've been so spoiled with our DVC accomodations that I just now realized that I'm not going to have coffee pot access at the All Stars--and god help me, I'm sure hte food court won't be serving anything that early in the am; as bad as the Nescafe is, it would work in a bind. So, now you may see me race morning begging for a sip

Becky-I love the bedazzler idea! We could be neon green and sparkly!!

 

[keenercam]

Becky -- we will miss you! I hope you can make it to Jellyrolls! And be sure to look for WISH shirts at the start and introduce yourself.

Stephanie -- In your shoes, here's what I'd do. You know those folgers coffee singles that look like tea bags? I'd pack a bunch of those with my flavored creamers and head to the food court for hot water. However, if you'd like, I'd be glad to bring a second cup of coffee to the start for you! Just let me know how you take it. OF course it might be lukewarm by then, but who cares, right?

Stephanie When we stayed at All Star Sports for RFTT (it was our first race and I was SOOOOOOOOOO NERVOUS) I forgot they did not have coffee pots - I DO NOT FUNCTION IN THE MORNING WITHOUT MY COFFEE

- that's me with no coffee

I about flipped out when we got there and I discovered that . Well my DH the most wonderful man in the world, as I stated earlier on this thread, ran to the McDonald's right there at 4:30 in the morning to get me coffee (he does not even drink coffee)!!

What a LOVE!!!! That is definitely something my DH would do!!! I'm so glad you got one of the good ones, Angie!

What happens MInnie Weekend stays at Minnie Weekend!

I don't know if I'm jealous of all the fun you guys are going to have or glad that I'm not going to have anything to try to explain to DH when I get home

 

[Kristi1357]

Come on Mel....you know you want to swing over to Minnie weekend.....

And Judy, my camera takes video also. I'm just sayin'....

As if my mother doesn't think I am nuts enough lately with all my Goo Goo Dolls shenanigans & finagling my way backstage again. (NOT that kind of finagling!) Now, she's going to see me all crazy at Jellyrolls? I am in so much trouble! Sadly, though, the guys at Jellyrolls only know "Iris" (my least favorite Goo song). I had them play it anyway last year, and it wasn't so great.

Jennifer - we are at Pop also, checking in Thursday night.

You'll still have a great time, but I'm pretty sure you're jealous! ANy chance of your mom taking the girls home Sunday and you staying fr just one night????

 

[nucpharm29]

Morning all! Got a little bit of training in last night. DH didn't get home from work until 7:ish and by then the rain had started--so had to hit the TM at home; which I hate. Anyway, I did 3 easy miles. Today, I'll probably do the same distance but crank up the speed a little

Angie--your man sounds great! And thanks for the Mcdonalds suggestion for coffee. I always forget that it's there. I already told DH that we might have to stop there first before dropping the car off at Epcot.

We are finally within the 10 day forecast on weatherchannel.com! http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/USFL0372?from=36hr_topnav_business It will be like January in May! (Just a little joke for those of us who sweated out the half and the full in January this year)

Add me to Jellyrolls! And order Judy 2 Long Island Ice Teas on me. I have got to see her singing Gretchen Wilson!

Nice try, Heather, but TWO and you'd be seeing me with EMTs hovering over me again! I'd be passed out!

OMG the excitement is growing! I can feel it! Whoooo HOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Good Morning team!!!!

I can't believe it is finally getting closer.....feels like forever, since I registered for this.

Cam how are you feeling?? I hope that cold is going away

Never had a long island ice tea, but my favs are pina colada's. and I guess a margarita for cinco de mayo....only cause I have to ...

I really wish I could attend more meets but DD and I are doing parks every day and she won't be able to get into Jellyrolls.

Is anybody else doing Pleasure Island on Friday? I think we get a coupon for free admission with our race packet. Dancing at 8Trax definitely counts as a warm up for the race (that last one is me doing the cabbage patch)

 

[keenercam]

Kim -- thanks for asking. Most everything is cleared up, but the bronchitis is lingering and breathing on steps, etc. is not comfortable yet. Thank God the cough has subsided!

Jennifer -- I know I am hoping to convince some of my roomies to head over to PI Friday night for a visit to the Adventurers' Club. I dont' think we'll hang out there too late, though, because I want to get up for a walk Saturday morning before our 9:00 breakfast ressie. Also, I think the coupon in the race packet may only be good Sunday night, but I don't remember for sure.

 

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

One week and I'm on a plane bound for Houston!!!! I so cannot wait. I've started putting things aside to remember to pack. Last night the Body Glide and Sport Beans made it into the pile.

I'm not sure about Jellyrolls on Sunday right now. We are having dinner at Morocco, so it all depends on how tired I am after chowing down all that food! I do want to hit Pleasure Island one night to take advantage of the freebie, just not sure which night to do it on. Probably Friday? I'd like to check out the Adventurer's Club. I want to try a Kungaloosh!

FYI - Minnie Marathon Weekend participants will receive free entry into Pleasure Island Friday, May 4, 2007 through Sunday, May 6, 2007. Plus, up to three of your guests will receive half price entry into Pleasure Island. Look for the Pleasure Island coupon in your race packet.

I did my 5 miler last night. 3 miles planned for Thursday over my lunch break, then I pick my mom up from the airport Thursday evening. I've already planned out my 8 mile running route for Saturday. It is actually going to turn into a 14K (8.7 mi), so I'll be one short of the race. That way I know mentally I'll definitely be able to go one km more!

 

[Honeibee]

One week and I'm on a plane bound for Houston!!!!

Umm, Leana..the race is in Orlando. Florida.

 

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Not to worry, the good folks with Continental will make sure I find my way from Houston to Orlando next Wednesday afternoon!
