Lisa So I am "slacking" with my 25 miles huh? I will try harder tomorrow and see if I can hit 30. Will that be ok? Just kidding. I am doing as much as I can this week because I know next week I will be in a taper mode for half of the week getting ready for another Half that I am doing on the 15th. So it won't be like this always but right now, I am energized!!
Jenn 
Life without caffeine??? Don't do that to me, please.
I have always been a jokester so when I saw your post, I just took it and ran. Hope I didn't scare you (or worry you either).
Erica Good job with the movie quotes. I have another one for you if you are up to the challenge.
"It was called a successful failure." Any ideas? I will tell you this. It is from one of my all time favorite movies.
Kim I can't remember if I answered your question or not about the time for training. Yes, you do count that as well. So if you spend 1 hour x-training and 1 hour walking/running, then you can count 2 hours for that day's exercise total. Hope that helps.
Rich I will echo what has already been said. You are pretty awesome yourself. I am looking forward to having a great year!
Mike I totally understand your decision. It is a smart and well thought out conclusion and I can't knock you for that. I hate that we will miss you this year but I can say this: Even though I am not going Goofy, I will try to make you proud!!
Ronda I don't have any gadgets to be honest. I always would have rather put the money towards other stuff that I felt was more important. I believe Vic has a Garmin that he got last year though so he might be able to help shed some light on the subject.
Betsy I don't have anything unusual about a race but I can tell a stroy about something else (that was also somewhat humiliating). While in high school, I was a bandie and played the tuba. We were at a pretty big marching competition. As we were getting ready to march onto the field, my shoe came untied. I had been told that the judges started judging you as soon as they can see you so with that in mind, I wouldn't stop to tie them. That was one of the hardest shows I have ever marched in my life as I was trying to do the very best I could for the regular show and to make sure that I didn't march out of my shoe. We got back home and listened to the judges tapes and each judge made several comments about the tuba player that needs to learn how to tie his shoes!!
At the next show we did, someone played the practical joke of putting about 3 knots in my laces to make sure that there were no more issues. I can tell you this. It never happened again.
Kira I have been missing you. Congratulations on the run. I was going to get outside today but a late night at work and some pretty cold weather kept me in at the gym. I am very glad that you are doing good!
To All of Our Guests Thank you for stopping by and saying Hi! Please feel free to come by and check on the Ducks as much as you would like. We have an awesome team with some incredible stories. I hope, is you read them all, one story may inspire you as they all have inspired me.
Update I got a text from Liz tonight and she is at home but she has been really sick. After the surgery, she developed a fever that they couldn't really figure out. She is not a very happy camper right now. I would like to think that I know Liz pretty well and I know how much she loves this team. She has a pretty awesome story as well that I hope she will feel up to sharing with all when she can join the team. I have been letting her know about all of the well-wishes from all of the WISHers. I just hope she feels better soon.
Thanks everyone for all that you are doing. The stories, the interaction and the fellowship is extremely inspiring. I know we have only finished day 3 but if the rest of the year is anything like the first 3 then we are going to have one heck of a year.
KEEP ROCKIN' TRIPLE D'S 
DeeKayPee, I can't wait to meet you next year! Tracy, too!
be running Goofy next year. I spent more than 3 hours Sunday night tossing and turning in bed after I had filled out the race app, addressed the envelope andplaced the stamp but did not drop it into the mail box. There was the guilt of goiong back to WDW without DW, DD and DS again. Then the guilt of spending the money for airfare, dinning and race entry. Lastly, the fear that the economy was going to negatively impact my job - seeing way too many job cut notices in the pharmaceutical industry. And finally, the realization that I can return in 2011 - hey, I can make the Goofy an every other year tradition. So Bryan, won't meet you for the 2010 Goofy - I was lame this year and made no meets - but who knows, we may be heading down for either TRFTT or ToT in October.
Sounds like you're still managing to get those miles in, one way or another. Good job!
Nice to see you guys here!
I considered him "done", basically I'm just the ATM now and provide moral support and advice when called upon! I did pretty good raising that one. The youngest a freshman in high school is a work in progress. Pretty self sufficient but still needs special attention and watching. But the boys will always need their mommy!!! 
Bryan- only lifting and going 25 miles? Are you slacking already!!! 
So kidding here. You do more in one day than I do in a whole week....or two for that matter!!!! 
Love me? Who loves me? I don't know of anyone who actually loves me? What do you know? Who have you been talking too? On second thought, maybe I don't need anymore caffeine for today.
