Not going in Jan support group.

[scoolover]

I post this half kiddingly. Unfortunately it is half not kiddingly.

Due to a few reasons, I am not going in Jan to marathon weekend for the first time in 4 years. As an introvert, I don't interact much with anyone in group situations anyway but that does not mean that I will not miss the friday night meet or meeting at the monster W before the races. I will also miss the interaction with the wishers we see during the race. Not going has limited my time on this board - just because. I know that there will be next year or perhaps the inaugural wine and food festival 1/2 during my favorite time of year at Disney. It does not lessen the feeling of loss that I am feeling from not going this year.

Best of luck to everyone who is going. Have a great time and I'll see you next year.

Now - anyone else not going and feeling it?

Scott, so sorry you won't be with us January. I know you will send your positive energy to us. Sorry that life has interferred with you to cause you to remain behind. Hope to see you at another event and once in a while here as much as you can give us. I value your friendship and hope to hear from you more.

Our family will not be going this year. We go the week after Thanksgiving and can't afford 2x weeks apart. The cost to enter the race is also a lot if you pay for your kids like I do.

We hope for 2011 but at this point, it looks doubtful unless the economy turns around a lot and quickly.

Thanks a million. That was very nice to hear. I too, look forward to future events.

The economy is a big factor. Lets cross our fingers for a quick turn around.

Great Scots, no Scott??? Oh well, another day, and another race.

Will miss reading your race report.

Now just so you know, we got Bubba and Chris to come out of their shells last January. So you're next!

We won't be there this year, either. We're going for NYE instead with our girls. Guess we'll be back in 2011, maybe this time I'll try for the full?

Sorry to hear you can't go this year! I feel your pain though. I will be down there but it's not looking too good for my first attempt at the Goofy. What I thought were shin splints actually turned out to be a stress fracture. I've been told that I would be crazy to even attempt it with this injury.

The only good thing is that my best friend has offered to sit this one out so we can do it together next year. Thank god for great friends.

Keep positive thoughts, though. There is always another magical Disney race just around the corner.

I'm not going this time either. I had planned on doing the full marathon, but then admitted to myself that I was just not ready for that and have decided to focus on getting better times on halfs first. I'll be on the Disney Magic marathon weekend. I know I'll see some Donald medals on board and my heart will ache for missing the race, but it just wasn't meant to be this year.
