Being that I will just be meeting all of you for ToT for the very first time, I guess I felt the need....or not... I will keep that in mind for future droppings The people I usually run with take things waaaaay too serious! And I am, well, not.....

I am afraid of roadkill. I saw a dead cat the other day and did quite the hurdle over it.

Surely I'm not the only one afraid I won't get to the Expo on time, or they won't have my number, or I forget my favorite shirt/socks, etc. Shoes! Don't forget shoes! And double those fears because I have to pack for DD to be in the race too!

Guess who seriously overpacks- good thing we can drive...

As for the Goofy fears, I wouldn't know where to begin!

 

[windwalker]

Oh, evil Panda! My ultimate fear in any race is being LAST! I never want to be last b/c I would feel bad 'keeping' everyone around for just me!

Beth

Beth, Darlin, a bunch of us have done that very thing, including me. Not to worry you get over it. It makes you go faster next time. I'm a walker and I enter races where everyone else is a runner.

Lisa we take our fun seriously. Remind me to tell you about the time I hit a member of the Japanese Royal family with a water ballon.

You are definitely not the only one. Forget the fears about having to be scraped off the pavement during the Goofy (or risk turning into the much-feared roadkill!)...my nightmares center around missing my number pickup or even worse, missing the race because I overslept. Which is a little ludicrous, because I am an insomniac who never uses an alarm clock, yet can not recall ever having overslept for anything. But you know those nightmares people have about being in school and forgetting to show up for the test (with or without clothes)? I have had them many times with respect to races. And I also have the total clothing anxiety -- I am always convinced i will somehow forget all my running stuff. As if!

No one has to worry about being last, DH and DF have decided that somebody has to be last and they are okay with that. Moving right along, I have to add to the fear of not being registered because I registered myself (got the email), DH (got the email), DF (got the email) and DF wife (got no confirmation email). Talk about scared What if we get there and she is really not registered? She is walking with my DH and I am running with her DH. So, I guess that would be my ultimate fear. That and showing up without my pants.........

That's ok Lisa, wearing pants is way overated.

I think you are ready to be inducted into the "YARC", the You Ain't Right Club".

By the power infested in me by Judy , beautiful and merciful Queen of the court of "YARC", I hereby give you the royal title: Lisa, Pretty Princess of fun and adventure.

Now bow to the Queen and tell your hubby you are due a present.

to you Evil Panda and, well, I ain't been right for a long time. I think that happens to us racers. Something happens from all that jarring of brain mass. And, since my husband was going to be water boy until he got mysteriously signed up for the race....I don't think I will push the present issue!! (this is myself, DF and DF's wife who would all be the culprits in his mystery confirmation!!)

 

[ghoulishgirl]

Okay, here's mine. At the start line everyone points and laughs at me because I am not a "real runner" I am always behind in my training because I am injury prone (shinsplints) I usually have to walk some of the race and when I do run, it is slow. I am a petite girl and I think I look like I should be much faster than I am. So there it is, I feel better already. Until race night, that is.

Like my Sole Sister, Sasparillo (Heather), I'm most afraid of not making pace and getting swept. Not getting to where I need to be on time for the 1/2, blisters, long lines at the porta-potties and not finding THE perfect DW sweatshirt to bring home....those rate right up there, too. I choose not to live in fear! I will train, I will have a game plan, and I will SUCCEED!!! And the shopping for a sweatshirt part? Dang it, if it takes 3 or 4 to sweatshirts to get it right, then so be it!!

 

[HMHunters]

My biggest fear? Being sick again for the race. I was able to fake it through a half, but no way could I have gotten through a full.

Close second, being on iasw and having it break down and being stuck in the world of those creepy dolls!

 

[littlegreydonkey]

I'm afraid of the evil panda who has the ability to suck me into threads even though I'd only nipped in here to see if there was a discount for marathon weekend.

I'm also afraid that my PF has come back with a vengence after a month of absolutely no pain - ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, especially as I flared it up doing a walk to raise money for charity (last time I do anything nice for anyone).

Other than that (and a minor issue with heights) bring it on........

 

[gatorphipps]

I fear not being able to run....Hey it's my therapy!

OOOOH, I also fear lunitic (SP?) drivers not paying attention, when I am either running or biking......just had a friend get hit by a car while riding and he broke his femur (SP? again).
