Thanks Tiffj, When we went it Sept it was soooo hot.

I really like POP as well but we have never stayed at Music so DD wanted to stay there. Doesnt' really matter to me as long as I stay on site....I love the values.

When is everyone arriving? Not sure if I asked this before, DD and I will be there from Thursday til Monday morning.....early Monday morning..... Oh well 4 full days at Disney....I'll take it.

Off to get ready for work, have a great day all.

Kim -- I am arriving mid-day Friday and leaving late afternoon Monday. 3.5 days. Never enough, but I am grateful to get to do that much!

Hi Team!

I am planning on arriving early Friday morning and I will be staying at Pop. I won't have a car, so I am going to have to take a taxi to the start on race day. I will be glad to share with any other Poppers!!

I've just started back on the TM this week, my first activity since the full. It is time to get it in gear and now that I am officially registered I am psyched!

Count me in on any and all WISH meets!

See ya all real soon

 

[Kristi1357]

I will be glad to share with any other Poppers!!

OMG - "Poppers!" I love it!

IF I come, I would like to get in Thursday evening and leave sometime mid-Monday.

Blueroses: where did you find that psychedelic skirt?!! Reminds me of my childhood and yes I just dated myself! This is my first Minnie although I did the 1/2 in 2005 and 2006. I ended up in rehab (for my hip, thank you) in 2006 so did not run the 1/2 in 2007 so I'm excited about this run.

Anyone know how many ran the Minnie last year? Just curious about the field size. Is the expo worth the time for the Minnie? For the RFTT it was pathetic so wondered about the Minnie.

Hi Martha! You're Craig's DW , right? I'm sorry I didnt get to meet you guys at POP this year. Glad to "see" you here!

Anyway, I think there were around 1700 participants last year for the Minnie. They did announce that it was the largest amt for any innaugural event in FL. I'm sure there will be more this year. And yes, the expo was pitiful. No need to allot too much time. We just got our stuff & glanced as we walked back out.

I have not gotten back to training, but I am going to this week. No, really I mean it this time.

 

[RedDragon]

Yup, I'm Craig's DW. He's been on these boards forever and I'm just getting started. Just ran 30 minutes in 16 degree weather and it was great! I love telling people that b/c they think I'm nuts which is fine by me!!

The only thing I fear about the Minnie is the weather. I'm afraid it will be a scorcher of a day which will seriously impact the runners. Like it was at the marathon a few weeks ago. But since I can't control it, I won't worry about it. I'll come up with some kind of plan.....

Martha -- I fear the heat, as well, but having survived (barely) the full this year, I feel like the Minnie shouldn't be too bad. Don't forget the start time is about 6:15, I believe. So you'll be done long before it gets too warm or the sun gets too intense. I do remember being very happy last year to have a visor. If I remember correctly, I think there was a lot of fog early on and that helped, too. I do know I was very, very glad I wore a visor to help with the sun in my eyes and on my face, generally. I bought a cute white one with the Minnie Marathon logo on it and have added that to my packlist for this year.

I just bumped up the Minnie race reports thread from last year so that everyone can see Mel's great pix of the course, etc. I don't remember who else posted race reports but I am sure there is a lot of valuable information there.

You better get back at it, missy!

disneyfanz04 - I see you're in SJ. May I ask where? My DD (12) and I are heading back for Minnie for the 2nd time and plan to make it an annual girls weekend. I'm also doing Goofy again in 2008.

Cool! I'm in Haddon Twp. not very far from you at all. Maybe I'll see you around at local events or something. If not, then definitely at Minnie and Goofy. How are the girls doing for training? Mine will probaby be joining spring track for a more organized training.

 

[Hockeychic]

Good morning team. WOW just over 3 months and we are there.

DD really hasn't started training, she is a natural athlete but she has her last exam today then I told her she has to start walking with me.

Can't wait.
