Random "YARC" Thoughts

[windwalker]

Hello WISH "YARC" Warriors, it's that time again:


I think we have invented some new terms for the world of endurance sports. We have always had "Taper Maddness, which will be here real soon" but now we have just gone through, "Packet Maddness". During a long race or training there is a time when we enter the "Bite Me Zone".

For those of you having motivation problems:

Monday
Tuesday
Wedensday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday

Ain't no someday in there now get off the couch and get going. Remember everything trumps, "Did Not Start".

We have some injured warriors, get better guys, that finish line is all the more sweet if we all cross it. Give our injured warriors all the encouragement you can, any one of us can be next. The journey is long and we will all stumble at times.

Tomorrow really is the first day of the rest of your life. Those things you said you wanted to change, now is the time. What you did everyday before is over and done, what you do tomorrow is your future.

I can't because.... The less limits we put on ourselves the more we can accomplish. I think it was Henry Ford that said, "If you think you can or if you think you can't, you will be right".

Very inspirational.

But what exactly does YARC mean?

But what exactly does YARC mean?

The "You Ain't Right Club". you sweet princess just became a new member with your confession about your shoe ritual.

By the Power Infested in me by Queen Judy , merciful and beautiful Queen of the court of "YARC", I hereby give you the title of:

'The pretty princess of nurturing soles'.

Now bow to your Queen.

That is so true. There is a way to get it done somehow. One step at a time.

We can do this!



Get well those that are broken, stay well those that are well.

I guess it is time for the WISH Team Cheer. Scream with me:

Thunder, thunder, thunderation!
We're the WISH Team delegation.
When we move with determination,
We create a GREAT! sensation!

Very inspirational to say the least.

and to the injured and sick to get well, especially if you are headed to WDW in less than a month!!

And to anyone thinking they cannot, just know that you can with the help of the WISH team!!!

 

[Cruella de mom]

Ah yes, we have a lot of injuries weaving through this group. That has to be tough. Heal quickly my friends!

Then we have the weather conspiring againest the healthy runners! I had to turn off the news this morning with all the weather gloom across the nation. Its become personal because of all my WISH friends! Hang in there all of you in the icey north.

I could rent out the rooms in my new house to northerners who need to train in Atlanta's picture perfect weather. Thats it! I will become a bed and breakfast runners! Through in a physical therapist and a sports massuese and I could have some serious business!

Yep, I am definately a member of the club....thanks Panda!

Yes we do tend to let people know we have arrived. We have earned the right to strut our stuff.

Everyday work to remove the mental and physical chains you have bound yourself with. Whether that is losing more fluff, drinking the required amount of water, taking a yoga class or just finding the time to do your stretching. What ever is holding you back is in your hands to change.

OK....Help!

I was perfectly calm and rational about all this. I was so looking forward to my second Half. I was (am) training away.

OK but this morning I looked up at the clock said 6:10am and I thought "OMG One month from RIGHT NOW I will just start to inch forward." And for some reason I burst out in tears. Oh help! WHY WHY WHY am I such a wreck? Poor Charlie must think I am loosing it. Maybe this is just a case of pre-race jitters. Which I did not have last year at all, until I was about 100 feet from the starting line.

Calm. Calm. Breathe.

Stop thinking about. You're prepared. This time you know what you're getting into. You KNOW you can do it.

But still....

 

[princessrunner]

Never fear Judy, we will all be there around you distracting you. I am in corral C and will actually have to work to catch you!!!!

 

[Honeibee]

Oh that's very kind of you Lisa, but last year the only way anyone had to catch me was when I was hitting the pavement!

Which reminds me...if anyone sees me cross the finish line or if you see me right afterwards...remind me to keep moving! I have to keep walking for a while or else I will pass out again and we don't want that.

Unless, of course, any of you single ladies need a date that night, I might be able to help you out there.

Thanks for the inspirational words, Dave. I needed them.

And Lily, family members thought I was nuts when i read your post with our cheer. I started chanting it out loud. Needless to say I got some strange looks!

But I did need those posts. My life has been crazy lately and training sporadic. I'm panicking because I will be undertrained for this event

But I've gotten in 3 straight days of workouts, so I'm now on a streak and determined to keep it up until race weekend.

Anyway, here's my attempt at humor with a joke for the YARC. Saw this the other day in the Dr.s office when i took my Mom.

" A lady goes to the Dr. because she's not feeling well. Doc asks what's wrong? Lady replies, I have a fever, the chills, runny nose and feel rotten.
She says everyone in her office has it. The doc replies, "Oh, then it must be a staff infection."
