Tinker Bell ½ Marathon Weekend ~ 2014 Check-in!

[indygirl99]

Okay ladies, heading out of the office and home to get a quick carb load in before my flight. I think All Stars have wi-fi so I'll try to check in some point over the next few days. If not, I'll try Wed or Thurs. Race should be interesting ~ checked the weather and it's hot and humid. Sat morning humidity is almost 100%. Nice!

Good luck on last runs everyone!!! Only 1 more week!!!

Kim Good luck on your last long run before Tinker Bell.

I want to see your medals so you have to bring them for us to fawn over before we run. Pretty please.

Its 14 CELCIUS in LA today!

Thats for us Canadian girls who have been terribly confused by the previous weather reports on this thread.

Kim - have a great time and Good Luck!

I haven't run all week thanks to my cold and a nose injury. Hope to do an easy 3 miles tomorrow morning.

I just went out for 20kms and with that, my long distances are done until Tink! Woohoo!

Who has 2 thumbs and got into the #TinkHalfMeetUp?

This girl! Spent ALL DAY stalking the Disneyparks Blog- literally. All. Day. But I'll be running 2 miles on Friday with Galloway! Super happy!

Sarah- so your shout out on SpeakleSkirts FB page! I think I'm helping Leah on Thursday too!

Oh yeah- running? pfffttt.... haven't done that in a week. I guess I'll do a little of that this weekend. Feeling much better!

How exciting! I am going to check out sparkle skirts @ the expo. I have a green tutu but looking for a less bulky one to wear with my awesome Raw Threads tee.

Glad you are feeling better.

That is awesome! I have taken everyone's advice and am planning to keep tapering and only run 6 miles this weekend instead of the 10 miles my training plan called for but I am feeling pretty good so we'll see what happens when I go out.

Ya, I know I am way late to be doing a long run but I had a huge mental block and was worried I wasn't going to be able to "go the distance" (cue Hercules music) so I figured I needed to do it so I could stop worrying and enjoy the race.

So ya, I can go 20kms....I could have gone another 1.1kms if I had to although I really didn't want to! At least I know I can!

Butterflies are starting now. My longest training run was 10 miles, and it felt really good. But that was a couple weeks ago. Now I'm getting nervous that I didn't put enough long runs in. Oh well, too late now. I KNOW I'm going to cross that finish line, just wonder how I'll feel and if I'll be able to walk that afternoon!

I just went to check the Extended Forecast for Anaheim. The website I went to only extends to Saturday the 19th, but the high is 69 and the low is 47. Looks like it'll be perfect weather for the run! {{Please don't let me have jinxed us!!!!!!!}}

I jsut checked Accuweather- and it's calling for low 46 (woot!) and high 73 (woot!) slightly cloudy--- woot !!! I would love it if this holds!

I love those forecasts. I am an Arizona girl so I have no tolerance for super cold weather and super cold for me is anything under 40 degrees.

Yesterday was such a crappy run, horrible really. My ankle started to hurt so I gave up after 30 mins of running... So I am hoping my chiropractor can put me all back in line and make sure im all good. (My Chiro also is a runner, as well as a sports physio..so hopefully he will fix me up)

After this race, I plan to go to a sports doctor about my knees. I have been hearing that crappy runs are normal leading up to a race. It means you are going to kill it on race day. At least that's what I tell myself

Wow! You are running the WDW race and then Tink the following week?? You are crazy and also my hero! Good luck!

You suck!

I was stalking the blog all day and had to go out for my run but refreshed the page one last time as I ran out the door and nothing then ran back in the door straight to the computer and I was too late.

OH cool - so I get to meet you early! Awesome possum! I won't get to the booth until 130 or 2 though.

And I hope you know I'm kidding on the you suck thing....love you to bits girlie!

Smooches! I know!

When are you flying in? And which airport? I'm flying into SNA around 12:30pm. Figure I'll get to the booth around 2 also if all is on time.

 

[kindakrazy2]

I'm going into LAX landing at 11:30ish and taking the Disneyland Express to the hotel. I usually do the SuperShuttle but Bill at Get Travel talked me into this one and I'm not loving the "only every 1/2" hour service. I figure if all goes well I should be to the hotel by 1-130 then get checked in, eat, etc.

 

[longhorns2]

Thats my plan too- except for SNA. We can FB each other and see about grabbing lunch maybe- then heading over to help Leah?

 

[kindakrazy2]

Sounds like a great idea. This is seeming very real now!
