My Magical Journey to Running the Half Marathon TR Link! p.107

Argh! Why does Photobucket do that?? :confused3 When I posted that installment orginally, the pictures were all right side up and the correct size. Now they're showing up as a mess? I know they'll go back to the right way, but why does it do that? :mad:

Pictures all look fine to me... but I know what you're talking about with photobucket... :headache:
 
Great job Carissa! Sorry you didn't beat the leg-carrying centaur, but you still did great!
 
Congratulations Carissa!!! :cool1: It looks like it was a really fun race!! I can't believe there are only 9 weeks until the big day!! :cheer2:

It was a blast. Makes me want to do more. ;) It seems like it's taken forever for the half to get here (not that it's a bad thing). I can't wait for it now! And to come back and share it all with you guys. By the time I go in January, it will have been two years since my last visit to the world!

IMPRESSIVE! :worship:

Thanks Missy :goodvibes

congrats carissa that looked like such a fun race. Awesome medal. And I cant forget to say that you look amazing girl. You are my inspiration!!! Your story was the first I read on here and I would like to say thank you. To date I have run up to 7 miles and lost 30lbs. Reading your report gives me the motivation to keep on going. Thanks!!!!!

You're so sweet Lindsay - thank you! :hug: You are my inspiration, too! You are doing a fantastic job. Let's keep each other going on this incredible journey! :cool1:

They look fine to me now - thank goodness!

Great job Carissa! Sorry you didn't beat the leg-carrying centaur, but you still did great!

:rotfl: Pretty sad that a leg-carrying centaur could beat me, even after a malfunction put him on the side of the road. :rolleyes1
 
Awesome job Carissa! Great report of what sounds like a great race! And that is a wicked medal (I'm all about the bling.):goodvibes You are going to rock the half! Don't you love passing people at the end of races? Makes starting out slow totally worth it!

Yes, I do! I'm sure a lot of the people I passed were people who didn't pace themselves at the start (probably a lot of people who didn't train for it either). I'm so excited for the half now instead of being a bit scared. :rolleyes1

Congratulations, Carissa!!! It's awesome that you beat your time! :thumbsup2

Thanks Jackie! :cloud9:
 
Congrats on the race!!!! :woohoo::woohoo: :yay::yay: :woohoo::woohoo:

I saw the pic of the medal on FB (i think Liesa commented on it) it is very very cool!

What is better than running a race then getting free beer after! :lmao::lmao:

Your boys costumes looked great! pirate:

:woohoo:


Love the medal !!


Not a chili person-

It must be so exciting to think of the marathon race coming up in January. Is your dh doing the race with you , I can't remember.
 
Hey Carissa! Hope you had a good weekend!

Does anyone else get nervous when they see that OhMari has posted on a thread? Every time I think something happened to the thread.... :rotfl2::rotfl2:


Sorry Mari!!!! :flower3::flower3::flower3:
 
:woohoo:

No, he's not going on this trip with me. I'm going on a solo trip with my friend Liz. Chuck and I did our romantic getaway in September. :goodvibes

It's okay.
 
:cheer2::woohoo: Fantastic job on the marathon! :cheer2::woohoo:

Sorry I keep getting behind, but all caught up now. That race looked like a lot of fun. And love the medal.

I'm really tempted to drive over to WDW and cheer you on! We will probably be in Silver Springs that weekend though. But it's not too far. Would like to meet you after.

Oh, and I think I know why you had a hard time with the new cut on Baxter, he looked all grown up. Reminded me of looking at Jacob's picture and realizing his not a baby anymore. Baxter is still a cutie!
 
Great job!!! It looks like you had a great time. What a fun race.

It was a lot of fun. :goodvibes

No worries, Melissa. It's not like we don't "see" each other every day on Facebook. :rotfl:

I hope we can meet up in January! :goodvibes

That's exactly what it is. My SIL said, "Think of it as his big boy haircut."
 
Where is the time going? Days pass so quickly. I do get over to the Dis every day and try to read and stay caught up, but I don't post as often as I should. :guilty:

Can you believe we're only 7 weeks away from the half-marathon? :eek: My training is right on track. On Saturday I ran 7 miles. My total mileage for the week was 16 (that included a 2 mile walk in the woods with Baxter after my 7 mile run). I'm beginning to feel more and more confident that I can complete the half with no problems. :thumbsup2

This coming weekend the schedule has me running just 4 miles for my long run before I jump up to 8 the following weekend. I need to purchase some sports beans before that happens. I noticed I could have used some extra energy around mile 5 this past weekend. I also pushed myself a bit and did my run intervals at around an 11:30 pace. I also increased my walk pace and was able to average 12:41 for the entire 7 miles. :cool1: I was a bit sore on Sunday from pushing myself, but that was okay with me.

Not much else to report on the trip front. Did I mention that they did release the military ticket deal so I will be able to buy a 4 day park hopper for a big discount? :cheer2: That means I might be able to squeeze in a visit to all 4 parks. Right now my goal is to do all of the attractions that I haven't done before. The list is actually pretty long.


Animal Kingdom:

Expedition Everest
Flights of Wonder


Magic Kingdom:

Country Bear Jamboree
The Enchanted Tiki Room
The Hall of Presidents
Mad Tea Party (this one I will NOT do)
