I can of course activate Panda speed. Unfortunately Pandas are not very fast as wild predator beasts go.

Thanks, Tracy.....I used to love this thread when it was lively! And it's such a good way to get to know people from different teams. Walkers unite!

So, what's up, buttercup? How's the NYC marathon training coming???

 

[jeanneg]

Thanks for asking, Connie. I have never been motivated to do anything as I am for this (except probably my first marathon!) This is the first week of my official 20-week training program and I am fired up. God willing, I'll be able to keep my focus for the entire time. The foot issues are not totally resolved, but I am back doing water aerobics to add flexibility without stress. It's going to be a very tough course, but I'm going to tell myself to soak in and savor every grueling moment and hopefully I'll be able to do it. Are you doing any events in January? I think I'm just doing the 5K but I will be scream-teaming for sure!

Hi,
Don't know if this has already been discussed elsewhere. Any walkers going to Disneyland in September? I'll be doing the 5K and 1/2 marathon.

There will be a TON of walkers! I'm not sure of everyone's exact screen name, but here is a list of the ones that I know offhand will be walking:
Myself and my hubby (John), Wendy, Pat, Lily, Robert, Linda, Tracy, Anne, Bob....and a whole bunch of others that do a run/walk combination.

Don't worry, you'll be in good company!

Awesome. I don't post much on the boards but do a lot of lurking. Still the WISHers always feel like friends. It's inspiring to see those lime green shirts and hats. It's good to know there are other people out there at the race who understand I walk because I choose to.

Kim, with only 50 posts in over 5 months, this thread has been dead for a long time! It's a shame too because this was always one of my favorite places to seek refuge. I think most of the walkers are going Goofy this year and that's where everyone is hanging out.

Not going to DL til Sept. 2011, after I finish the Goofy! I want the Coast to Coast medal.

 

[Hockeychic]

OK, Jeanne, lets get it up and going again.

Monte, I want the coast to coast as well

 

[jeanneg]

If all goes well, I should get the coast to coast medal in a few weeks! However, after this morning's 12-miler, I'm not so sure. Why are some training sessions just so ugly? The only good thing I can say about today's walk is that I was able to do it a day early and so my training week is now finished! 10 down, 10 to go......

 

[monte]

You go Jeanne!!!Post a picture of you and all your glory, ha,ha. So you'll get a castle medal plus the coast to coast? How does DL know that you completed the WDW half, or full?

 

[Hockeychic]

Yup sometimes Jeanne they are stinkers, I mean stonkers just move past that one, it is done and in the books.

Congrats on the 2 weddings next year....any at disney

I really don't know the answer to that one......my guess is that they have it "on file" somewhere. I seem to remember them saying something like that when I registered. All I know is that when I pick up my bib, I will confirm that they have me down for the extra medal. I'm thinking that they will probably give me a wristband like they do for the Goofy.

Kim: as I said to my kids last night, "Don't you guys realize I'm training for the NYC marathon!?! I have no time for weddings!" In view of that, I'm so glad I didn't sign up for the Goofy.

 

[SideStitchWalker]

I have a friend who did the coast to coast last year. They do give you a wristband so you can get your medal at the finish line.

 

[Hockeychic]

Ya Jeanne, I think you are going to have alot on your plate this next year.
