Where are the Minnie Reports & Photos...

[ultramickeymouse]

I know the races are over and wanted to know how it went with everyone. Doesn't everyone get done with the races and get on their laptop to report or upload photos

Luckily, some of us thrive on rejection. I mean, its been over a day since the 5K and probably at least an hour or 2 since the 15K.

Come on now Bill, we want results not excuses. Inquiring minds wanna know. Don't they know they are doing this for us? You know I bet some of THEM even had the nerve to have fun and OMG even eat good food and drink naughty beverages.

Out of sight (or off the site), out of mind Dave. They are probably having little WISH gatherings, going to parks and, like you said, eating good/bad food. Those of us trying to electronically participate vicariously through them on the boards are left to muddle in our gloom, as well as the news that many of us are being belittled by Disney's newest princess race with a tiara medal and ladies shirt. Oh where, oh where has our WISH team gone.

We got a few folks in backround shots in the 5k. Sorry I didn't get any pics of any of the dis'ers during the 15k. I don't really know any of the dis'ers who were running, and didn't make it to the meet the other day. I don't have one of those spiffy lime green Dis running shirts, but I did my best and wore my own lime green shirt for the 15k. I would like to say thanks to the Dis'ers who stayed and cheered for everyone, ya'll were great, and we loved seeing you out there!!

The event staff made several shoutouts about the Dis.. that was neat.

I will post some pics from the 15K soon. I just want to say that I DID IT and it felt AMAZING to cross the finish line. I met some really nice WISHER's at the meet on Saturday and a few were yelling for me at the finish line even though I don't have a green shirt. I would say a great time was had by all!

Here are some pics I received from Disney as part of Press Release that I posted to my website. I left them large so you can see detail and great shots by a professional.

We are back and since it seems that everyone is having fun waiting, I will continue to let you wait.

Great pictures. I enjoyed checking those out, thanks!

Well, I made (but barely). I thought I was keeping up a good pace (I'm a walker), but everyone was passing me! A little ways past the 3 mile marker, I looked behind me and there were only about 20 people behind me. Then, I looked in front of me (about 100 feet ahead) and workers were putting cones in the middle of the rode. The two people in front me starting jogging, but it was too late. The good news - they didn't sweep us slowpokes! They gave us a small shortcut to get caught up!!!! Wasn't that nice?? Otherwise, I wouldn't have received my medal. I'm home now (was just a 3 hours drive back). Had a great time.

Glad you got your medal and let you finish instead on making you get on a bus

It was a great time. I ran my first Race and finished! I walked/jogged faster than I ever have; getting caught up in the excitement really gave me some extra oomph. The cheering from WISHers and from castmembers really was fantastic and made the whole thing fun.
I'm going to try and post a few pics (didn't take many), if I can figure it out.

Hope these help satify your need to know.

 

[Superdebbie]

Those are great pictures Sharon. Congratulations everyone!!!

 

[SamSam]

Thanks Debbie. It was greating eting you and the other WISHers, finally meeting people whose posts I've been reading the last few months. It was a little overwhelming trying to keep names, boardnames and faces straight so I apologize if I ignored anyone. I was simply overwhemed, and also a little anxious about doing something new.
The WISH team is great, thank you for all the support.

HELLO MY AMAZING WISH TEAM!!!!!

This weekend you guys not only became an inspiration to me but to my mom. For some reason that my mom had some kind of stereotype in her head of people who do these races and she was quite sure that she did not fit that stereotype. Not only was she blown away but the VAST VARIETY of people that do these events, but also how nice the WISH team was. She was blown away when right before the finish line there you guys all were screaming in cheering in your bright shirts!!!!

Here's a pic of us right before we crossed the finish:

As for me and my 15k all of the forced rest this week (per my TEAM!!!) paid off and I had NO PAIN WHATSOEVER the first 4 miles or so, so as you will imagine I went to the best of my ability. The knees did start to bother me the last couple of miles but all in all I exceeded my expectations and finished with about a 9:37 pace

Here is a pic of me right before crossing the finish and that is Amy right next to me:

I will be back with more but I have to get the family ready for the week at work and school.

Thanks so much for sharing your pics with us, and the tidbits of stories. I love putting names with faces and even more, I love seeing how happy you all look and sound!

Of course, now you need to give us more pics, to feed our addiction!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL--WEAR YOUR BLING WITH PRIDE!

Sorry everyone couldn't be at Minnie. We had a great showing this weekend!

I only have 5K pics since I don't carry my camera during races anymore.

Here's the 5K start:

The guys with the white arm thingies were first and second.

After that, DD15 took the camera away from me (I was borrowing hers)

We're back home and pretty tired after 2 really early mornings. I can easily say this was my best race ever! I PR'ed but not in the clock sense. My chip time was 2:02:22, square in between times of the last 2 Minnies. My PR for this race was more on the training and endurance side. Jen and I ran together, we have a similar pace but totally different intervals. I do a R4/W2, Jen a R3/W1. She graciously offered to do the 4/2 which we maintained pretty solidly through the entire race. And I had fun! and I wasn't exhausted the last 2 miles! And I finished strong! Many thanks to Jen for switching up her intervals for me

So whatever clicked for me a month or so ago is still working. I cannot say enough about building up base mileage. Don't ever think the short runs aren't as important as long runs during training!

This race is my endurance PR...had a good time and finished strong!

 

[ironz]

Thanks for the pics and stories so far!!

Mel...good job on the Run/Walk. I do that for distances over 5-6 miles, and it is so effective! Glad you feel strong, but not trashed over the distance!

angie...great job! Glad the rest paid off! Kudos to your mom!

I second the early mornings,

Looking at the results I figured that I took 1st in the Men from Wyoming Division, Lynn took first in the Ladies from Wyoming Division, and Secons in the People from Wyoming Division. LOL

It was great to meet you all, enjoyed it for sure.

I must say that WISH folks have very good race manners,
