Congratulations Megan! As new DVC members, I completely understand your excitement!!!

Dueling October WISH threads... I'll come over here...

The week that is:

M - bike to work - DONE
T - 3 miles, R3/W1 - DONE, 11:57, 12:22, 11:38!
W - bike to work
R - 3 miles, all run
F - bike to work
S - 4 miles, R10/W3

In the R3/W1 I'm running harder and my HR shows it. Topped out at 177 in the last mile. I've only been doing this pattern for a few weeks, but it seems to be helping in the longer, slower runs.

The weather has been so DREARY. Blech. I assume the sun is up there. I'm getting better at judging what to wear. This morning was dark and 44 degrees with a slight cross breeze. Great!

Patricia, Thanks for bumping up the thread today.

I kept meaning to drop a note about how green I was over Tracy's beach photos. I see it's now between Tracy's beach and Jeff's.. Regardless as I trot around the lake I can't help but dream of THEIR water views, especially as that nice cold wind speeds across the water at me. At least I seem to get a faster pace in those areas, trying to GET AWAY!

I tried to take a photo with my phone this weekend and well cloudy, blah day didn't translate into the pretty fall colored tree lined lake I was going for. But I do have great people around and the in person views were still lovely.

Hey Jeff? Where are you hiding lately? I haven't run across a post besides the one on the Race Reports. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Happy Training everyone! Even if we don't all have beaches I hope everyone is enjoying some beautiful fall views while putting in the miles.

Tomorrow is Wednesday!!! YAY!!!!

Tinmac - what a great race report! Congratulations on your finish time and everything that it took for you to get there. And that finish was a perfect ending!

I have been really missing from the main WiSH thread for ages, and I am going to try very hard to start participating here again. I totally blame Facebook LOL!

I have pretty much recovered from my Achilles injury, and did 7 1/2 miles on Sunday and felt great. I did wake up on Monday with some pain, but it went away by the end of the day. So I am still keeping an eye on it, and took an extra day of rest after my long run. I'm due for a short run today, and I'll let you all know how it goes.

My life/house is in complete chaos at the moment because we are having our living room, dining room, entrance area and three stories of stairway & hall painted. There are about 8 workmen in the house right now, sanding and painting! I think it will all be worth it when it's done, but it's driving me crazy! Normal life is impossible in all the chaos.

I'd better head out for a run while I have the chance . . .

Hi Wisher's

I usually don't post on the weekly/monthly thread, as I'm a member of the Warriors and I usually only post there....but if anyone is running the Nike womens in SF this weekend and would like to meet up let me know.

I usually get there early and stretch out in front of Macy's in Union Square, facing the tents. If anyone would like to meet up, I'll be there around 6:30am

Hope to see some Wisher's!

Good luck this weekend Marcia!!! Hope to see you on TV at least, cause I don't plan on being in the city to watch the race...

So not sure which Oct thread is being watched by whom, so I'm duping my post from the other one here too...

Hi all!! Finally back from our two weeks at WDW, had a blast! Got a 6 miler in while there. Good news is that the shin splints were temporary and have gone away completely now. Bad news is that DH and I both caught wicked colds while there, so last weekend's 10 miler didn't happen, and I'm pretty sure the 12 miler is out this weekend too since it's still sitting in both of our chests and heads. Hoping we survive the 1/2 on Halloween!!

Anyway, I've decided to sign up for the Princess 1/2 in March! Does anyone know if there are coupon codes out for that race? Just wondering before I pay the full registration fee...

Will catch up on what everyone is doing and post more later.

The Kansas City Marathon is underway. My run this morning tracked part of the course (around mile 17 - on a separate trail). Got to see some really fast people. Inspiring. Didn't make me any faster, but I really liked seeing the supporters and spectators.

Guess what! It's still cloudy and rained a little over night. Surprise. Riding home yesterday I saw two chunks of blue sky. Should have taken a picture.

The WISH Biggest Loser challenge has me tracking food this week. I hate it but d@mn it works!

Off to clean house.
