Running The Half, Dis Meets, Deluxe Dining,& SSR! BACK. Had a great time!

[jenny105]

I admire you for training so hard for all these races. I don't think I could ever do it. A runner I am not.

I'm sure Tim will look darling in that hat!

 

[tinkgurl]

Wow Lynn..running 8 miles at a time?! I am in awe of you! You go girl!

 

[disneygirlinnj]

Hey! I'm in! Can't read all 45 pages but I'll try to catch up as much as I can today and tomorrow. Awesome on the 8 miles you did recently... I'm jealous of your time! I am definitley NOT a natural runner but I'm getting there. I just remember thinking awhile back that people that run more than 3 miles are certifiably insane. And then Saturday I did 8 miles

Thanks! I love it.

HAHA yeah he's going to look hot in that hat, LMAO!

Yeah it sounds crazy right, lol. It's really not that bad

Hey! Oh don't worry about it, it's a lot to catch up on, lol.

Thanks a lot! You are doing a great job. Keep up all the hard work girl!

Yeah people think it's insane. Soon you will think that 3 miles is nothing, then you will think 8 miles is nothing lol. Trust me.

Hey guys! Just thought I would update some stuff.

Training for the half is going really well! I'm doing awesome. I'm up to running 8 miles at a time now. My fastest time with that is 1 hour and 10 min!! Not bad. As soon as this weather cools down, I'm going to get a 10 miler in. Hopefully I can get it in tomorrow.

I'm registered for this 10K http://www.runthebridge.org/site4.aspx in Nov! Can't wait. I think with this 10K I can give Disney my official time so that I'm placed in the right corral.

I'm only up to 6 miles and that takes me 1 hour and 10 min! You're going to do great. I've done 2 other halfs and for both of them I never did more than 10 miles in training. You are going to be up with the elites

 

[twenty3curls]

Congrats on the increased mileage, Lynn! Let me tell you... you are going to be SO thankful you have that under your belt now before the weather turns to crap. As someone who trained for Disney and also lives in a state that quickly turns to a winter wonderland, it can be very hard to get runs in during November and December, so having the big runs already under your belt will really help! It will be a lot less stressful come December when you get 2 feet of snow the night before you're supposed to do one of your long runs...because you'll already have done it before! Not to mention when you have finals and work! You're a lot smarter than I was last year.

School is going well too.. My summer class ends next Thursday. Then I start Fall semester September 2!! SOOO excited.

Disney Plans!!! We finally have some plans set for the meet with our friends! The Friday before the race we are going to The Grand Floridian tea, then the day of the race we are all meeting up for some pictures in front of the castle, then hanging out in the park to ride some rides, dinner (not sure where yet), then if Disney is still offering the MK dessert party in Jan, we will be ending the night with that.

So that's about it for now. We are 143 days away as of today!!!!

Everything sounds so exciting!! I'm very jealous!! Does the ADR go back to 180 days before your 90 days? LOL I don't think that sentence makes sense...but I don't remember when your 90 day is but I know it switches back to 180 on October 27th!

Just realized, if the 10/27 change to 180 days takes place, they are going to get a barrage of reservations for the first couple days.

On 10/26, only people with vacations between Oct 27 and Jan 24 will be able to book. Then, suddenly on 10/27, vacations between Oct 28 and Apr 25 will be able to book.
So, on one day, everyone looking for Jan 25 thru Apr 25 will be able to immediately hop on board!!

That is a good time for 6 miles though. Everybody tells me how quick I am, but honestly when I run I don't feel like I'm going that fast, lol. It just feels comfortable to me. I guess because I have been running since I was a kid.

Yeah I'm hoping that winter here is not that bad this year. Last year it wasn't bad. We had like one snow storm but it was nothing. Hoping it stays pretty mild. I don't want summer to end, but I'm looking forward to the cooler weather.

I'm going to have a very busy fall this year. But I will still have plenty of time to get my runs in, thank God.

No my ADR day is Oct 4th!!!!!! I'm kind of glad it doesn't change until the 27th though, because if it did I think it would be a little crazy.

But I'm glad it's going back to 180 days. I liked it before.

Yeah it will probably be crazy at first.

Congrats on the mileage! That's awesome. I am not quick at all, but I blame that on being too top heavy & not aerodynamic enough. Good luck on the 10k! I can't seem to find any races near me that are longer then a 5k, so I'm doing a bunch of those in the fall/winter & figuring that they all eventually add up to at least 20k in the end.

Congrats with school too. How did your first semester go? I'm mildly jealous. I want to go back to school soo badly...I love school & it's so much more fun then working. Too bad I can't be a professional student.

The tea at the Grand is fantastic. The boyfriend & I went last year for my birthday & I was so surprised how much he enjoyed it, especially since he was just doing it for me. He loved the tea and the sandwiches and the scones! Holy crap those scones were good. It was seriously just the cutest thing ever, you'll love it.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Hey Lynn!!!

Um...W-O-W!!!!! I can't imagine running eight miles (EVER), let alone doing it in just over an hour. That is very impressive -- good job Lynn!!

Glad to hear school has went well and is almost over. Nice to know you have a short break between semesters. What classes are you taking in the fall?

Aw, your meet plans sound so fun! Can I crash?? If only I was going to be at WDW then. Boo!

You're doing so good at your training! I'm impressed!!! Keep up the good work!!

Your plans to meet up with friends will be great! And the tea sounds like so much fun, I'm also impressed the guys are willing to go!! And the hats would be too funny!! I can picture Tim's face for that for sure!! LOL!!

Yay for school being almost done and Fall starting, you're on your way!!! Summer is going by too fast though...my boys start 9/1....we're on countdown!

Have a good afternoon!!
Kristen

Hey girl!!! Thank you very much! Hey, I wish I could be top heavy, lol! Good luck to you with all your races. I know what you mean, it's tough to find 10ks. Tons of 5ks all over.

My summer class is going well. It's over next thursday. It flew by!! I'm so looking forward to fall semester. Yeah I love school. Being a pro student would be awesome lol.

I'm hoping Tim likes it, lol! I think it's going to be adorable!

Kirsten!! Thanks girl!

In the fall I'm taking 4 classes. Art 101, Psych 101, Eng 101, and Math 075(pre req). In the spring I want to try and do 5 classes. We shall see.

Yeah please come and crash!!! I want to meet you!!!!!

Hey Kristen!! Thank you. Yeah I'm surprised Tim is ok with going lol. He wouldn't be going if his BF Bobby wasn't going LMAO! HAHA that would be a great picture!

Are the boys looking forward to going back to school? I'm guessing no lol!

ooh what is the MK Dessert Party? that sounds fun!

They are offering it right now in the MK. They have it in the Noodle Station terrace. Basically they offer a bunch of desserts while Wishes is going on. We're hoping they still offer it in Jan.

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG. Tim is sitting next to me saying. "What?" because I'm laughing. I'm going to show him why in 3 2 1.... HAHA he just said, "Yeah ok!"

I want to get a cute little hat. Are we going to dress cute, and get hats?

Yay we should!!! Even if everyone else doesnt we should. I be Lex and Christina would. I think it makes it more fun!

 

[klacey1]

Congrats on your new running time! You are too funny, haha-- being a pro student! I never minded my college classes, but the "college scene" was never me. Yuck-- living in a dorm (and with all girls freshman year!)

 

[princess_momma]

So I just realized what a DUMB moment I had recently in your PTR...I QUOTED you saying that you were 143 days away and then right underneath asked if you'd be able to make your ADRs sooner with the 180 day switch. LOL you're way closer than 180 days....silly me.

 

[Deemarch]

I've read your PTR's & TR's...All of them! The wedding, Oct, May anniversary & now Jan 2010! You are too cute (DH always asks me, "What's too cute really mean?" haha

We were in WDW when you guys got married AND we were staying at BCV AND we saw a wedding at Boardwalk, but I've gotta say that if the bride was you...I would have noticed her, 'cause you're so pretty...So I'm gonna say it wasn't you & Tim. Awww.

I have a suggestion for you regarding Narcoossee's (?). We were there this past Valentine's Day and we checked out what time the sun was going to set and made our reservation for 1/2 hour BEFORE sunset. It was the most beautiful "show"! All of the tables kind of face the MK & Contemporary Resort and as the sun goes down and all of the lights go on...Need I say more! It was wonderful!!

Also, Brown Derby crab cakes were only on the appy menu when we went to dinner there, the last time. I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted that or the seared scallops, so I asked if I could have them both as my dinner...and they did it!! Good to know...just ask!!

Looking forward to more...

Oh, I'm a HP lover, too AND we LOVE going "down the shore"! What town were you in...Seaside?

D

 

[Lynn5700]

Yay we should!!! Even if everyone else doesnt we should. I be Lex and Christina would. I think it makes it more fun!

Well you know what this means... this means that we have to go shopping at the Cherry Hill mall together and buy our outfits haha. We should do dinner with the boys, then you and I shop while they go do whatever.

Congrats on your new running time! You are too funny, haha-- being a pro student! I never minded my college classes, but the "college scene" was never me. Yuck-- living in a dorm (and with all girls freshman year!)

Hey! Thank you very much. Oh that must have been a little rough, lol. I wish I had the opportunity to go away. Oh well. I'm just thankful that I have schools so close to me. Where I'm going now is like 8 miles from my house takes me like 10-15 mins to get there. When I go to Rutgers all I have to do is take the riverline. So easy.

So I just realized what a DUMB moment I had recently in your PTR...I QUOTED you saying that you were 143 days away and then right underneath asked if you'd be able to make your ADRs sooner with the 180 day switch. LOL you're way closer than 180 days....silly me.

LOL it's ok!! I get like that too... must be why I didn't even notice. LOL.

Hi D. Thank you so much for coming out of lurkdom lol, and thank you for reading!! Aww you are so sweet. Thank you. HAHA I say things are "Too cute" all the time too haha!

OOOh that's awesome you got to see a wedding! Our wedding was May 7th at 10 AM.

The Beach Club is awesome. I would love to stay there one day!

OOOOH I can not wait to go to Narcooses!!! I will have to book it around sunset. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

Tim loves the Crab cakes at Brown Derby!! I can't wait to eat there again too. That is awesome they let you do that!

Yeah we went down to Seaside!! I love going to Ocean City though! That is great you are into HP!!! Another HP friend

 

[disneygirlinnj]

OMG girlllllllll I can't believe you had over 110 pages in your last TR! This one is well on it's way there too. Glad I jumped in before it got to 50, haha! Thanks for telling me you guys did the Keys to the Kingdom tour. I think I'm totally going to do it. And the Wave! MMMM!!
