WISHcon 2005!! Anyone here interested in setting this goal with me???

[flbeachbum]

I am hoping to join on i with y'all!!! I just recently joined all you WISHers and know that I will get to know all of you real well be then=)

I did the Disney 1/2 marathon this Jan. I did it through Team in Training. WE each had to raise $1900 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society..and they in return payed for our hotel room, race fee and also trained us along the way.

I was hoping it would be a great motivator for me to get the last 30lbs off....but I slacked off some on the training and was worried I wasn't even going to be able to finish the race.

It was the most exciting thing I have ever accomplished on my own. I got the Donald Duck medal and now want the Mickey Mouse one to match..so that means I'm thinking of walking the full.

I've been trying to recruit my Dh, sister, anyone and I have not been able to find anyone to try it with me. So, I'm so excited to find out that y'all are going to do this together.

If you have any questions about the race I can try to answer them for you. THe start of the race brought tears to my eyes...Minnie and Mickey told us when to go..and they played "I can go the distance" as we started!!! So exciting!

Now, how do I go about getting that adorable walking Mickey under my signature???? lol...thanks!

OK, everyone ... I've finally read this whole thread and talked to my dh (the former cross-country star) and he says we can join you all!

I would LOVE to set this as a goal for myself. It's a bit scary though!! I am currently only walking a mile or two per day. Is this something that I can accomplish? Maybe I should give a tentative "yes" and see how things progress?? Count me in!!

 

[MontyMontyMOnty]

Hi!
Count me in, too. We are usually at Disney during marathon time anyway, it is one of our fave times to go! I just checked this week to see if I could still sign up for the 2004 1/2 marathon, but it was closed. I dont think I cna be ready for the whole marathon, so 2005 is a good goal for me, too.

[Beanie]

[flbeachbum]

tried figuring out how to add that adorable Mickey....I saw your post Karen telling me what to type in at the bottom of my signature...but I didn't see anything to type...just the pic of mickey. Did I miss something? lol..cause that wouldn't be a first!
Thanks!

Except use these: < > instead of { }

Does that make sense? Add that URL to your signature with those brackets < > around it...PM me if you need further assistance!

 

[flbeachbum]

Thanks Beanie..checking to see if I did it right this time=)

 

[karebear1]

ROTFALOL!!!! Oh my gosh- what a silly person I am!! DUH!!

I typed the addy in thinking it would just show up as the addy- never dreamed it would show up as the walking Mickey!!! LOL!!! anyway- Flbeachbum0- did what beanie gave you work??? THANK BEANIE- for saving the day! (How typoical of me was that?!?!?!)

SeaSpray- I'll be happy to add you to our list here and YES_ IT IS REASONABLE TO THINK YOU CAN DO THIS!!! We're all starting at the beginning. But I'll put you as tenative if you'd like. We're very excited you are joining us! Please clicl on the link under my siigy to visit the new WISHWalker website that Kamy developed for us and get your name added there too!

Thanks for updating everything Kamy! You are doing a GREAT job!

 

[flbeachbum]

HI Beanie~ I tried to Pm you..but it says I have my Pm turned off and I would have to edit profile to turn it on..so I went to edit the profile..and don't see anywhere that I turn on or off the PM option. Sorry for my lack of puter knowledge! haha
And as you can also see ...didn't get mickey working yet=/ I changed the { around the word img to <....the first time I put a space between the word <img src ..and it showed an X on my signature..like where a pictuer should be but it didn't load . Then I tookd out the space and just put <imgsrc and that took away the X(this X showed under my wish memeber clippie after I made a post)...so I'm confused I guess you could say=)
I ended the whole line with.... gif>
think I put it all in right..thanks for your help!

 

[flbeachbum]

haha...I am so clueless...what did I type now to bring up that box? lol...go figure!!! i was trying to say I put a space between the word img and src...then took it away...anyroo

 

[karebear1]

Kari- I'll pm beanoie for you! I don't DARE try to give you instructions again!! SHe has helped me LOTS with this kind of stuff!! Sorry about that!

 

[wovenwonder]

To put the Walking Mickey into your signature. You must include this info in your signature box [edit profile]. Leave out the spaces that I am inserting in the IMG boxes though.

JODY TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jody- I thought that's what I typed in my post, but for some reason the walking mickey appeared instead- do you know why?!?/ I am so THANKFUL that we have computer saavy poeple around here!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Wow, our list is growing and growing!!!

THe start of the race brought tears to my eyes...Minnie and Mickey told us when to go..and they played "I can go the distance" as we started!!! So exciting!

I can't wait to hear that! "I can go the distance" is my personal motivational song, that is exciting to know that it is played in the begining, I'll have to gear up and listen to it a bunch. I bet when I hear it, it will be surreal!

Karen,
All that you would have needed to do differently was put the spaces in the IMG boxes. Without the spaces it just tells the computer to insert that actual image.

 

[flbeachbum]

Thanks everyone for helping me with all this stuff and fluff! lol

Trying one more time for that Mickey=)
