Official inaugural Tower of Terror 10 miler thread. September 29, 2012

[minniebeth]

I'm so excited for everyone who is arriving or soon to be on their way. I've been here for two days and still not feeling great from being sick but trying to take it easy to regain some strength. Right now it's more mental than physical since I've been down for the last 10 days. I know it's all relative but it IS hot and humid to me. Let the water bottles begin
Can't wait for the expo!
ToT weekend has begin! Enjoy everyone!!!!!

 

[cgattis]

Any of you guys friends of "friends" of any Villains and have any ideas who we'll see at the Bash?? And if they'll sign autographs?

Crazy excited!!! Y'all leave some stuff at the expo for me!!

I thought this week here in Florida has been great weather-wise. I am excited for the cool off, but that's the difference in locations. Training here in FL with the high humidity consistent all summer and now the drop off is great. Either way, it will still be warm in the 70s and stay hydrated.

I'm with you about the weather. The summer training has been brutal! I am loving the drop in temps and am excited to run in the cooler temps of the evening! Well, cool for Florida standards!

Oh my goodness I can tell today is going to be the slowest day ever!! I don't leave for Disney until 9 AM tomorrow, and I am here at work (planning period) while you guys are all there or on your way! Ahhh!!! Once the kids get here, it will be worse as I can't even get on the computer to daydream! They will just have to bear with me being insufferable talking about my trip to Disney tomorrow, lol.

 

[Terapin]

On the ME bus! Can't believe the day is finally here!!!

 

[drummerwife]

Couldn't agree more! How sad is it that, Wednesday, my first thought after finishing my run was this: "Yay, there are parts of my shirt that AREN'T soaked with sweat - it really IS fall!"?!

I've spent the morning doing battle with my iPhone, which chose today to go berserk. Something is making it send and receive data endlessly, even when I'm not using data and am on WiFi. I pay $15/month for 200MB of data and whatever's wrong with my phone has made it use over 200 in ONE DAY. At this rate, I'll owe thousands on my next bill! An hour and a half on the phone with Apple support netted this: "try restoring the phone and if that doesn't work, come into the Apple store for a replacement."

So I'm sitting here, trying to work while backing up and restoring my phone... hoping against hope that it works, because the last thing I need to add into my pre-race prep and jitters is a visit to the Apple store an hour away! GAH!

We leave tomorrow at 8:30, super exicted for my very first Disney race. Safe travels and good luck to everyone.

Oh no! What a total tech bummer. I spent half o the morning with IT at my desk trying to figure out what was wrong with a particularly crucial program that wasn't working for me today...and pretty much put me at a stand still until it was fixed. So I've been trying to get caught up! On the bright side, it's making the day pass fast!

I hope your iPhone gets it together!

Oh my gosh - is it tech-crash Friday, or what?! It's been one tech crisis after another here at work, too! Ugh. True, though, it IS moving the day along, lol! Thanks, and hope your stuff gets ironed out, too So far, I'm restored and re-syncing 700+ songs...

We will be probably one of the latest people there. We are leaving tomorrow at noon and we are about 2 1/2 hours away. Just enough time to get to the expo and check into All Stars Sports get something to eat, relax a bit and head to the race.

Was there a good selection of official merchandise?

Just left the expo. Got there at noon. Craziness! Seems like every line I was in was the wrong one. But I got everything I needed! Yay! Bonus for it taking longer: I was there for Jeff Galloway's 2 pm talk. I had not planned on staying for it but since I was there anyway I heard it. Now all that's left is to run! Woohoo!
