Judy - but I thought you like EMTs hovering over you?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

Just an FYI, I received an email from EMMI regarding my question about the starting chutes and it stated "They will ask all registrants to line up on the honor system - fast in the front and slow in the back." This means no Bib checks

I can not believe how close it is getting!!!

I am sad to say, that I doubt I will make any of the meets

We are only coming over Saturday afternoon and I am afraid that between checking in and going to the Expo we won't make it to EOS (I LOVE EOS) Then we are going back home Sunday afternoon, so no Jellyrolls either. I need to plan NOW to make next year a 2 night stay!!!

I will look for you guys at the Start.

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?

I didn't even THINK about that........I need my morning cup of tea! Think I can get hot water anywhere before the race? Maybe I will take my electric kettle to the hotel room......

I haven't had time to read this thread, but wanted to add my name to the list! I am going to run, and my boyfriend will be joining me (as a spectator). We're staying at All-Star sports.

Our weekend itinerary is tightly scheduled at this point, but I will take a look and will post if I think I can make it to any of the meet ups.

Good luck to everyone. I was training along just fine, but then last weekend strained my hamstring (um, while vacuuming... how embarassing) so probably will be a slow runner. But I'm looking forward to it!

Oh, please, Lily! Did you really think we were going to let you sleep Minnie weekend? Now that's funny!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!

Everyone is so excited, it's awesome. IN 7 DAYS I take my last final exam and in 8 DAYS we leave for DISNEY!!!!

WOO HOO!!

One word of warning: After all of the bragging I did about Bobby I have to add a disclaimer for when we go to JR. He is extremely shy and sometimes comes across as unfriendly, especially around people he does not know!!

Did nothing last night except study, will get a run in tonight.
Hope everyone's training/packing is going well.

Good morning team......7 days today I wil on the plane heading to MCO!!!

I can not wait this wait it taking to long!!!!!

Hope you all have a great day

 

[disneyfanz04]

I can't believe in just 7 days I will be heading for WDW....the excitment on this thread is awesome. I have been walking every night, about 3 miles. I know it isn't much but it is all my back will allow. I am hoping I will be able to finish the marathon, but I will not push it too much. I don't want to do more damage then already is.

I hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See ya real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TiffJ]

Well I've not done any training since last weekend's 7 miler. I have been feeling cruddy & really, really fatigued so I finally went to the Dr. yesterday & I have an upper respiratory infection. Like I have time for this

I will also be taking DS to the dr. today.

And it's official, DH is diabetic (on top of all this other stuff ) I am ready for the Minnie NOW!!

I probably wont do any training until my 5 miler this weekend.

1 week, 1 day and I'm off, off & away

Angie-a few LI teas will take care of Bobby! (of course that might make the rest of us more scary )

Get well soon!!!!!

Don't you know you are not allowed to get sick...especially so close to the minnie.

 

[wtpclc]

Tiff - Get some rest!!!!! You've pput the steps in. EVen if you have to take Saturday off to sleep in, you'll be ok. So so rry that teh diabetes was confirmed.

 

[nucpharm29]

Tiff-- and to you and your DH. I hope the Minnie is just hte break you need

Angie--sounds like our DH's will get along fine. I told him to prepare for some craziness at JR--but that there would be at least one other man there for him to comiserate with!

Don't know if I posted my training here or not yesterday. Did 4 miles yesterday on theTM during DD's gymnastics class. It was better than the day before, but still a little stonky. then I made a trip to the local running store to get my energy gel/gu for the Minnie. They were having a sale, but wouldn't ya know nothing in my size.

One week from tomorrow and I'll be on a plane to Florida--but we won't actually get to WDW until after midnight That's what we get for leaving at 5pm and flying into Sarasota to save a few $$$

 

[Hockeychic]

Tiffj hope you are feeling better soon.!!!!!!!

 

[sunshine girl]

Laura--DH and I will also be at All Star Sports--look for my neon green shirt!

I will!! Thanks! I have no idea what I'm wearing yet.


Anyway, I probably can't make any of the meet ups. There's a chance I could get to the Earl of Sandwich (I love the "Le Frenchy" sandwich!), but we are going to be spending the day at the parks so it's iffy. Probably not wise to run around the parks, I probably should rest before the race... but oh well! No time to rest, too many fun things to do.

Hey everyone-

I just got back from doing an 8 mile LR on the TM. It was soooo hard. How can a playlist be totally great one run and horribly irritating the next? That made me a little apprehensive about what I'm going to listen to at Minnie, which of course is silly, since I'll probably be too excited to even listen!

I started out going 10:54 per mile for the first 4 miles and got really discouraged because it started to get really HARD, and then I thought "idiot, slow down!" So I slowed down and finished.

I now live in fear of getting sick in the next week. (I hope those with various forms of creeping crud get better soon!!) We are so close--

Oh, and DH asked for details about this weekend. So I tell him I'm driving with Angie and some friends and he thinks that's totally crazy LOL. Then I tell him that way he can meet me with the kids at the finish line. He tells me I can take the bus back!! Can you imagine?! I know something he doesn't know though-- my daughter has been sketching rough drafts for her WISH sign, and she'll have a complete and utter fit if she isn't there! She does "outraged indignation" really well. (In his defense, I'm sure he wasn't really thinking and would feel crazy guilty if he isn't there). Made me laugh! I'm going to have to tell him about all these coffee getting DHs!!

I don't think I can make any of the meets, but the race doesn't sound that big-- will we see each other at the start or is it harder than I think?
