Tinker Bell ½ Marathon Weekend ~ 2014 Check-in!

[AliceNWonderland]

Not feeling the excitement at the moment. We made the decision to have our dog put down today. I was supposed to start packing but I dont think thats going to happen right now. And though I dont want to go run 2 miles in the 28 degree weather, I think it might actually be just what I need at the moment. But on the flip side, this quick DL trip should help DD be happy again. She doesnt know we're going yet so that should cheer her up.

Sorry for your loss :/

 

[DharmaLou]

Good luck to everyone! My goal is to someday run a 5K (I have small goals!) - hopefully some day one at DLR!

I'm so sorry! I missed this earlier.

Patty ~ have a safe flight tomorrow! I saw you're coming back out for DDD. Yay!!!!

YES! I really thought this was it for me and DL for a long time. DH doesn't believe me when I say it's pretty awesome- lol- he's still stuck on WDW. But we had a talk about DDD and decided to go for it! So ... we will be back! YAHOOOO! Hoping he finds DL as awesome as I do.

Yes! I knew there was someone I had to talk to in the next day, but I forgot sorry. Is 3:40/3:45 ok? And don't be nervous, you'll do great!

 

[lilybell08]

I'll be there at 3:40. Thank you so much!!

I am so, so very sorry Kirstie. Thinking about you and your family. Its so hard to lose our furry friends...they burrow into our hearts so deeply. Can't wait to meet you on Sunday for our after-race celebration!

Not packed over here yet! LOL! I did tell you I was a procrastinator! LOL! I'll be out the door by 515am tomorrow morning! WOothoo! See you tomorrow afternoon!

Thanks for the support everyone. Yesterday was a very tough day.
Still didn't start packing. Guess I know what I'm doing tonight! Didn't get a run in yesterday. Hope to do a couple slow miles tonight but if it doesn't happen, oh well! For those of you traveling today, be safe!!!!

Hey everyone..

So I hurt my ankle last week.. went to physio yesterday and apparently the medial tendon is "stressed" where it meets the calf muscle. So I havent been running because I want the inflammation and pain to go away by sunday. So I havent been running in like 8 days. Im kind of freaking out that it will hurt my game.. I am feeling alot better, but stressed that I havent run. Do you think not running will totally affect my run? I think I should be feeling better by sunday morning..

 

[jessicaerv]

All these last minute obstacles!! I have one of my own. I was picking up my DD from daycare last night and there were notifications put up about an outbreak of Pink Eye. Sure enough -- her right eye was slightly swollen and red. Thankfully we have the antibiotic drops from the last outbreak that weren't used, so I started her on them last night. Hope my DH remembers to keep giving them to her!

Packing tonight; debating on whether I should bring my makeup. Who am I trying to impress? On the other hand, I hate to look horrendous in pictures. What do you all think?

Last question: I'm concerned about nutrition the next couple days. Can anyone give me advice?

XOXO Ladies! See you Sunday morning!!!!

I wouldn’t worry about not running for a week. Resting your leg is more important than getting a few more miles in. Trust your training. You’ll be fine, just keep telling yourself you can do it!

You'll be fine! Adrenaline is going to take over on Sunday and missing a a few runs isn't gonna matter!

Sorry about the pink eye outbreak! That is no fun!
Makeup: I too hate looking horrible in pictures so I usually do mascara for my races.

 

[longhorns2]

I wear make up for races. Not foundation but eyeliner and mascara and lipstick. I look like a ghost without a little something, even when running

Tinkplouff- I had a week off due to flu. I ran 3 miles on Monday and it felt really good! So the rest may help you more than you think, kwim? Plus the real work was completed weeks ago. You'll do fine!

Jessica- ugh pink eye! It's terrible isn't it?

On plane. Hope Sarah packed! Lmao.

 

[TinkerPlouffe]

Thanks guys

My physio guy is apparently a because I am truly feeling alot better. I wont be resting too much saturday... California Adventures is calling my name <3 but im hoping for the best.

And as for make up... I am going to be wearing everything.. I kind of want to look half decent for pictures then after the race when its all run down my face and I look like Raccoon roadkill... Meh. I just finished a half marathon baby!! lol

 

[TinkerPlouffe]

Oh and Sarah! Have good flight today!! Not sure when your leaving, but I hope you have safe travels! Its yucky in edmonton today... So the travel tonight from Bonnyville to the airport in Edmonton is going to be nasty. I hope it does not delay our flight or anything tomorrow! Boo...

Oh also, I have a random question... Is it possible to jump into another corral? Juuuuuuuust Curious.....

 

[specialks]

Hey past & future HoJo'ers,

What are you doing for food on race morning? I always do peanut butter toast, but don't know if there is a toaster around.

 

[specialks]

I'm so sorry for everyone's troubles! . Not a good way to head off to the happiest place on earth! Hope everyone can heal physically and emotionally in time for the race. I'm buying some zinc lozenges today and started the kids on acidophilus yesterday!

You are allowed to move back to another corral, but you aren't supposed to move yourself up.
