Super huge THANKS!

[gsu1988]

To all the WISHERS on the marathon course Sunday I would just like to say thank you thank you thank you. Every time I would come by a group of Wishers I would get a lift that would keep me going. Again, Thanks to ALL!!!

I absolutely second that. I can't tell you the number of times folks near me as I passed some WISHers would say enviously, "You sure have a great cheering section" -- They don't know the half of it! You folks "cheer" me all year long -- when I worry about my training, when I have questions, when I want to "talk racing," when I am anxious to report on all that's good and bad in my walking/running life.

THANKS!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU WISHERS

You are too kind. All it proves is some folks simply CANNOT be taught!

Yes, a big thank-you from me also. I can't tell you how helpful all the course support was in getting me to plod forward. Whenever the going got tough, I would think about the next WISH cheering point and just concentrate on getting to there.

Ann, Karen:I could not have done it without you and your entire crew. I look forward to being part of your group next year since my intentions are to register for the half and cheer for the full. I carried that little rag you gave me all the way until the choir....it was like my little security blanket!

Matt: a big thank-you to you also for walking me through MGM. I was tired and hot, but you took my mind off of it and delivered me to the next WISH station with a smile and feeling much better.

Pat, Susie, Bubba, Tracy, Kim, Karen, Krista and all the people that worked the water stops (I'm sorry for not naming everyone....my mind was a blur): A huge shout out to you. I did it the day before and I know it wasn't easy to get up at 3am 2 days in a row like that.

Wendy: You are amazing and truly my hero! When we walked together in AK, I could tell you were in alot a pain, but you kept motoring ahead. I don't know what was going through your mind, girl, but you already had it in the bag and couldn't see it. You certainly left me in the dust. And now you've done 30full marathons! You are an icon!

Lastly, to my fellow OHANA TEAMATES: You guys are the very best cousins anyone could ever have. Thank-you for yout support all year long and for being such a strong presence this weekend. You guys rock......and the spouses I met are not half bad either!

WISHers are the very best! Love you all!

I've also posted this on other thread but THANK YOU!!!!!

It meant so much to me to see everyone at various places. The cheering, encouragement and goodies. WISH Rocks!!!

I just want to add my thanks for those chearing us on the half too. It was really great. It was also nice to have a group to hang out with pre race. It made the time go so quickly, and to the WISH'er who works at Whispering Canyon, I hope you're feeling better (sorry, I don't remember your name). I applaud you for finishing even though you were clearly in distress.

THANK YOU...to all the WISHERS out on the course. you guys diffiently encourage me to pick my feet up when I didn't want to.

It was great meeting most of you guys this weekend, hopefully I'll see you all again in 2010!!!

I started this thread thanking all the WISHERS on the marathon course Sunday but thinking back there is one group I would like to especially thank. The group of WISHERS who were just outside the entrance to Disney Studios. I was really beginning to struggle at that point and seeing you made me pick up my feet and get going again. I turned down the offer of a piece of candy but you will never know how much of a lift you gave me. THANKS!!!! Also, Matt, I think it was cool what you did for many of our WISH Friends. It was nice to run with you for a while outside of EPCOT before mile 4.

Awwww.. Ken.. we were glad to do it.. we had soooo much fun cheering away.. We definitely need a few more Pounds of licorice for next year!! LOL!!!


I would like to take a moment to thank the folks who cheered for the 1/2 this year.. there was a huge decrease in the amount of wisher's able to cheer for the 1/2 this year since so many of us were doing it... But, I was amazed at Susie (Escape) she was EVERYWHERE.. and it was wonderful... as well as John (Spaceranger) ... those were the 2 Wishers I saw running around cheering.. and of course knowing that we had Wishers at the waterstops ahead was very reassuring... Seeing carrie and scott and Debbie.... those were the faces that I was able to acknowledge as we outran the witch with the flag!! LOL!!!

Thank you to ALL Wishers.. this weekend was just an amazing experience for me.. and it seems that everyone I have been speaking with has felt the same.. there was a very special magic this year...
