We should make this guy an honerary WISHer.

Boy does this guy fit the WISH profile. Does anyone remember seeing him last year. I'd think that he would be easy to remember. He has a nice site.

What a great story. I signed his guestbook. Very inspiring!

 

[joan4mickey]

Maybe we should invite him over?

 

[dsnyfan21]

I kinda did, I put our motto and our web address in my guestbook signage.

Thanks guys for the support, I made it to mile two last year before they picked me up. It was a humbling experience. If I'm picked up this year it will be at mile 26.2. I'll be ready. If no one remembers me (I'm sure I wasn't hard to spot) I still remember the support I received over those two miles. It stuck with me and I will never forget it. Once again thanks for the support, the more I get the stronger I seem to get.

Mr Marathoner Many of us will be working the water stops during the full. I will be at water stop #11 with Tracy (who signed your guest book) You will be sure that we will be looking for you and will give you a cheer (and water) when you make it by (Yes-WHEN!) Good luck with your training and hope to cheer for you soon!

Thank you, I didn't expect such a response from everyone but this is great. I'm here at work and everytime I check in to see if someone else has written there are tons of responses. This is truly inspiring.

Thanks for your kind words. If my story is truly amazing it's because of people like yourself that give me the extra push I need to keep going. I can't wait to get to water station #2 (and #11) to join you guys in the crazyness.

That what's so great about the WISHers... Everyone is so positive and so encouraging. It's really great support at the races. Even makes me a bit teary-eyed! I urge you to check out some of the other threads and jump in and say HI. Have such a great support team whether it be the WISHers or friends / family is invaluable.

I wanted to say something else. While I have been motivated to reach my goals of completing the Disney Marathon in Janaury (and all the other Marathons that come after) we all know sometimes training gets long and tedious. I want to let all of you that have posted above and those that will post below know that this board today has put more wood on my fire and my long run this week (18 miles) will be done with so much excitement because of what I have read today. By my count there are about 81 days left until Disney and I will probably be on this board getting this support from you guys until then (unless I post you to death). When I finish I will owe a lot to you all and I want to thank you in advance. I will be doing a couple videos over the next couple of days and if it is okay with you guys I would like to mention you all in it. I want everyone who sees my videos to know what team and support is all about. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

MM

When you see me at Disney yell my name, Mr. Marathoner or Leslie, I answer to both. Yell it loud if you want!!!!

I'm going to check out these threads, looks like I will be busy after work tonight (shhh I'm at work now). I have a forum on my page nothing major, I'm really looking for more info on some things and to get some good conversation going (maybe I'll make something up called a forum), if anyone has the time check them out, any advice or whatever would be appreciated.
