which slowed us down a few of the miles along with overall fatigue. Lou hung with me and I really enjoyed running without an iPod and being to catch up and learn more about him and his family. I have hardly ever run with a partner, today's run makes me want to have someone to run with in the future. 
I might be interested in that half Howard. I could come down and see my Dad, and then run the race. Let me check the dates.
Why does it seem like everyone gets sick around the holidays? 
You're ready for WDW now.
? 
UGH
If I needed to drop some weight I might see a silver lining here but I am more concerned about a reserve required to complete 26.2 miles in less than two weeks and not looking to be additionally depleted in anyway
. I still have no appetite to speak of but did manage to get a small bowl of oatmeal in this morning so I'll consider it a victory on my road to recovery
. Talk about embarrassing
DH was telling the girls he was going to burn their TO and Romo jerseys after the game
Way too cool about the run with Howard and the TNT trainers
Like the gameplan of taking a bit of time to recover before jumping into hardcore training again
. Last night when DD7 and I were praying for WISH'ers, DD says "Dave for the fall off the roof ." She obviously still remembers your infamous light hanging fiasco I'm afraid to ask how long the virus ailed you because I don't want to accept anything longer than the number of days I've had it already
. Running is the furthest thing from my mind right now - not fainting at work is more like it 
? How come I'm the only one who's never met him before ? Did you say you were off to MV for the holidays
?
Hopefully that means tomorrow I'll be able to run on the TM in the a.m.
. I've been lurking, just not posting, as my DS has bogarted the computer big-time with a new game & animation stuff! . We hate the Cowboys & we now find ourselves hoping that the Eagles make it to the Superbowl! How great would THAT be? Sorry you're a bit sore from your run yesterday, but it sounds like you had a great time with Howard! If you ran with me, you definitely would have wanted to bring your ipod ! !
...but we knew that. Did Kathy get everything she wanted for Christmas or are you still sharing the same address? Seriously, though, I hope she & the girls had a great holiday...and you too, I guess. What's up with all the party hosting @ your house & how come I wasn't invited?
. . What else is doin'? Ru you going to Disney? Nice job on getting out on that run in the rain . 
Disney's right around the corner! . Ran Christmas day 3 miles (found $5 in a puddle - thanks Santa), ran 8 miles on Sat. Will run today - I think I ran somewhere else in there, too.
. He wanted to use his new i-pod on his run & waited around for me for 45 mins. to get back, ranted, then left without taking the headphones & i-pod with him . I need a guy out there to explain this to me...you wait 45 mins. just to YELL @ me? You don't take the headphones after waiting all that time?? I don't get it. And it's not like we didn't have tons of other headphones around the house...apparently he doesn't like the headphones that came with it b/c the cord's too long . What a tool!
Question of the day - how can more come out than goes in
Lou - You know I was thinking of you when your Eagles were smearing DH's Cowboys all over the field last night
Sara - I too have pondered that question during a battle with a stomach virus. On the flip side, it always feels good to jump on a scale after it's over.
I was thinking of your DH (and other Cowboy's fans) during and after the game. Fox did a great job showing all of the Dallas players, coaches, and owners during the game as they wallowed in the misery. Hopefully we'll get more than a week to celebrate this.
Did anyone see when Eagles owner Jeffery Laurie high fived his wife in the face? Just another great highlight...
I DID see that, but thought I was just "seeing" things. That's awesome!
Hey Everyone: OK, people keep asking, and I wanted to clear up the confusion. Yes, I'm coming down to WDW for marathon weekend.
As for Jeff's 20 miles, they went pretty well. He is hoping for a nice result at Disney which will greatly depend on the weather conditions.
Colleen- Can you point me in the direction of those Goofy entries? I need to do this trip on the super-duper cheap, and if I can get a free entry I'd take it.Lou, there are a few people on the WISH board giving away their Goofy entries...
Just let me know if you can secure a free one, and I will continue in my efforts. I feel bad that three of our friends/family registered for the 1/2 and can't run it. Think of all those unclaimed race bags that DES doesnt' do anything about getting to the people who "paid" for them.
Colleen - Thanks for the heads up. However, unless they are giving away free airline tix and rooms I am out for 2009. Disney got enough of my money in 2008 although I would love to go to hang out with everyone. Very good chance I will sign up for Goofy 2010 as soon as they open up registration.Lou, there are a few people on the WISH board giving away their Goofy entries...
Leaving work at noon due to a lack of food leading to zero mental capacity ? I have an appointment to donate blood at 5:00 today but I'm guessing Howard's going to tell me that's a no go I am currently networking a strategy for the marathon and planning to hook up with some fine WISH walkers for a fun-filled stroll on 1/11 Let's face it, zero training, newborn puppy in the house limiting continuous sleep to zilch, infectious virus hanging on tightly doesn't make for promising odds for anything other than having a great time covering the distance so that's what I'm down with for the day . I think I'm dropping back to corral G from the start and making new friends
Please try not to get overwhelmed with the last minute stuff and take confidence in all of your prep work
I need to be mindful of catching up with you before you head down to MCO Rail , I think not I do know I can't attempt running until this thing is past me so one day at a time for now . Glad Jeff's feeling good about WDW
is a great book isn't "it"? I may have to take that along on our cruise in Feb. & give it another read! . And my mom's worried she won't finish in time. She did it in '06 with me, but the other 2 are newbies. Me? whatever. I wISH I could stick around for Monday. . oh well!
