Thanks for the Twizzler

[dsnypaul]

It was one month ago today that I ran my first marathon ever. I had just left the studio park and felt sick to my stomach for running for more than 23 miles, more than I have ever run before. I needed to eat something and someone from the WISH team was cheering us on and had a handful of twizzlers. I thankfully took one and although I don't even remember what you looked like, I remember the WISH shirt and wanted to say thanks again. I finished in 5:03:05, 3 minutes and 6 seconds longer than I wanted to, but I finished. I swore at that time, I would never do this again, and yet a couple weeks ago I signed up for the Goofy next year.

That magical Twizzler was a life saver.

Thanks Again,
Paul

Hey, Paul, First off to the DIS and the WISH boards. I ran my first Half and was cheering at teh Beach Club for the full. I forgot who had the Twizzlers. The heat and humidity were tough. I know I couldn't do it (yet), so I think your time is great.

May I suggest coming up to the Events/Competition sub-forum? It is up at the top of the WISH page. Many other marathoners and soon-to-be marathoners and other adult-onset athletes are posting there. It is a great way to get to know some of the people that go to these events, but the person with the Twizzlers will be there.

Yeah.. that would be me.. affectionately known as the "WHIP" lady!! Glad it helped.. that was what we were there for.. everyone was there as a team... washcloths, oranges, sports beans, water, twizzlers, ice, Enthusiasm, cowbells, pom poms, etc, etc, etc. That is what makes us the WISH team!!! No WISHer gets left behind!!!

Happy to have you join us!! WELCOME!!!
