...and why does it seem like EVERYONE around me is getting sick?!?!?! Now I'm going to get paranoid I'll be popping vitamin C all week...I wish I could lock myself up at home until Friday!!!

I know !!!!! Two things: Purell Hand Sanitizer and Airborne. Especially for those who have to fly in.

Hope everyone gets plenty of sleep and rest this week and stays healthy !!

We are in race week people! Who is getting more excited as it gets closer? Last week I was so busy planning things for our trip, and getting things started to be prepared for the house/baby sitters that I didnt think much about the race. Now its here!!

FRIDAY CAN'T GET HERE FAST ENOUGH!!!!

amen!

Isn't that the truth?

Good Luck, Tinks! Hope yall have a magical time! Can't wait to hear all about it (from a slightly jealous Princess!)

Thanks! Your race will be here before you know it!

Be careful!

I usually try to get to the corral about 1/2 hour before, but last year w/ the DL 1/2 they were crowd controlling people trying to get into the corral and it took a while and nervousness waiting to get into the corrals. 1st time they did that and don't know if they're going to do it this year, but it was frustrating enough that this year I'm getting into the corral early so I don't have to worry about that.

I think it is a good idea to get in there early.

Hope everyone gets plenty of sleep and rest this week and stays healthy !!

I hit the deck in my snowy driveway on Thursday and injured my ribs. Luckily there is no fracture that shows on an x-ray. Thanks to rest and lots of meds I am feeling better every day. I'm still planning on being there unless my test run later today is a total disaster. Please send

Sorry you got hurt! I'm so glad it's melting. We had 17 inches. I guess the LA Times wrote and called us wimps. 17 inches in hilly Seattle!! I'd like to see SanFran get 17 inches and LA call them wimps!

I hear ya! I ran my 13 miler last week while still sick though so I know I can DO it, but I'd rather enjoy it much more than I did that run... I wish people would just STAY HOME if they are sick!

Congrats! I'm so jealous because I forgot to check back when I read the teaser earlier in the morning, so I was too late after I finally remembered. I bet it's going to be a great experience!

I can't wait!

That is really awesome!

Yep, I had to talk my mom into going down Friday night since we were just planning to come in Saturday morning. Luckly the hotel had rooms open Friday night.

Congrats! I didn't see the announcement until it was too late. All the reports I've read of the Gallaway meetups at WDW sound so cool, but I'll admit I'm glad to not have to get up early on Saturday. One early morning wakeup call for the weekend is enough

I plan to take pictures and I'll come back and tell you guys about it on Monday.

I am hoping I get to the expo early enough to buy these. I really want the one that looks like the medal! I wonder what the one we were able to purchase when we signed up will look like.

Any idea of how quickly things sell out at the expo?

Hi all,
I've been off of the boards awhile due to snow, ice and no power!
I had to run my 12 miles on Saturday on the YMCA treadmill because the sidewalks still have snow and ice on them. But I made due by watching "The Ides of March" and a tv show on my ipad (and stopping for one potty break).
I'm glad the power's back on now and things are returning back to normal.

Now on to packing and planning for the race.
I can't wait!

I'm tapering now so I'll probably stick to the treadmill for the last of my runs this week.

Oh and I tried my green tinkerbell compression socks for my 12 miler and they were nice. They are a little long, but I folded them over at the top and they stayed up, no problem. I'll probably wear them for the run.

I can't wait to see everyone and the costumes.
I'm sure it will be a big sea of green!!!
