Wk Of Dec 30 - WISH Walking/Running Club

[Kristi1357]

SWDave - missed you around here!

When you guys find out how to lose 10lbs. by next week, please let me know. Actually, 15 would be even better!

Cam - I'd take you up on Jenn's babysitting services, but we get to leave Zack at home this time! He knows Mommy & Daddy are going somewhere to do a race....he just doesn't know where that race is.

I haven't done anything since my 9 miles on Sunday. Yesterday was a rest day, so I did just that (although we won't talk about the 'resting' I did Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...). I am not sure what my training calls for today, but I will do it. Training should be a bit easier now since Zack is going to school 3 days a week (used to be only 2 days).

Oh, I am hoping Chad & I can do Minnie. We promised to be better about taking too many trips this year (and spending too much money doing so). But my Mom is going to do the Minnie. Which means I need to do it. And Chad doesn't have a Minnie medal - and this would be his last chance. So....

Okay, so who is excited????!!!! Five more days and I will be in WDW for my first ever half marathon.

I was thinking last night, while I could not sleep, that I was pretty hard on the poor lady next to me on the TM yesterday. I don't think I was ticked particularly at the fan but at the fact that she dared to interrupt my precious run. Yes, I hit the madness I think. Today, I am going to try again for my 50 minute run, earlier to avoid the resolutionists and hopefully hold my temper/madness in!!

Did I mention 5 more days????!!!!!!!

 

[wtpclc]

NOt me. Not ecited at all. Nope. One week from now, I'll be on a plane to WDW!!!!!!!

Lily - rotfl! Yup I think that shovel from teh sand paol would be just fine for that FL snow.

Judy - If Charlie's less speedy, Scott adn I are in E, are bibs are 9,XXX (can't remeber).

I should apologize in advance for this, but we're taking our taper madness party to VWL this weekend. Today's our last day of vacation and we were bored and there just so happened to be a studio available at VWL which is the best place to be when it's cold.

So I'll do some scouting of the full route, make sure everything's cool for next weekend

 

[postesf]

Okay, so who is excited????!!!!

Ooohhh! Me, Me, Me!!! I'm doing my first 5K!!!

Princess...Good luck on your first 1/2 marathon!!!!

Everyone else, whether it's your first, second, 10th or 50th event! Good luck and hope you all have a wonderful time!!!

Stacie

 

[princessrunner]

I'll be at the 5K also, hopefully, unless I tell myself that is too many miles in one weekend......NOT!!!

Okay, one more time...

You're right. You should have apologized. I noticed that you didn't, though. HAve fun! AMke sure everything's set for us!

Oh, great!!! Hopefully I'll see you there!!!

 

[princessrunner]

I'll be wearing my cotton WISH shirt as it is all I have and I figure for a 5K I will be fine. Black running skirt too (got to be fashion forward even when I am a sweaty mess!!). Just look for the WISH shirts and hopefully we will all be together. I want to hook up with Dana and her DS also because I think it is AWESOME that they are going to do the run together!!

Hard to be sorry when you're going to WDW! But I will be thinking about you guys while we're there. Unfortunately we can't stay until next weekend. Have to go back to work on Mon

Forgot to say

Cari!

Hey, if anyone is interested Stephen and I took a bunch of pictures of the full marathon course in Oct. 2006 for the 2007 marathon. The course is still the same, so if anyone needs visuals and wants me to post the pictures, I can do that this weekend.

Krista

This time next week, I'll be on a plane!!!!!!!!!!

ETA--Forgot to say, have a great time Mel!!! I am very jealous of you. You have VWL to look forward to this weekend and I have bloodwork to look forward to. I think I got the short end of the stick!!

Pictures of the course would be cool...bloodwork is much less fun!

I think I should stop reading the boards for the next 6 days. My anxiety level goes up astronomically everytime I get on here. Work this weekend should be be very interesting--if you hear a news story about an AR pharmacist that went off the deep-end this weekend--that'll be me. I DARE someone to yell at me this weekend. Angering someone in taper, well, that's like poking a sleeping lion.

Some taper craziness going on here as well. This is the first "major" race I've been a party of (almost 4 times as big as the Little Rock Marathon) and it really intimidates me. I also have this huge worry about corral placement (yeah, yeah, I know an unfounded fear) DH and I are going to bring proof of time to the Expo, b/c as of right now we're literally in the back of the pack (bib number 17,xxx). For those expecting to finish in the 4-4:30 time range, what corrals are you guys in? I guess another part of my fear, is not being able to run the race with my WISH buddies (hmmmm, wonder if DH should be offended that I'm more worried about finding other people to run with other than him )

Okay, and yes I'M EXCITED!!!!!!!! This time next week I'll have just finished my last taper run around the lagoon at BW/BC, heading forsome breakfast at the bakery, and then getting ready to hit AK with the fam!

Mel--have a great time this weekend.

Kristi--Too bad Zach won't be coming along--emma could've had a playmate again. Oh, and I thought of you NYE when they showed Las Vegas on TV. Hope you've recovered! Yeah, I know the feeling of trying not to take so many trips this year compared to last--However, I'm still hoping for another Oct. trip for MNSSHP and F&W. Sad thing is we're already booked from now until July, so we'll see what happens (meaning no Minnie for me )

 

[wtpclc]

Gee Mel, am I supposed to feel sorry for you?

To go along with Krista's posting of pix. My sig has a link ot my first amrathon report (06), complete with pix.

I can e-mail al lof the 100+ pix I took if you're really glutten fro punishment. Note, they were taken while running, so some are pix only a mother could love.

I'll have on a WISH Shirt too! Hopefully DH will too! I'd love to have a running skirt, but until my legs get a little thinner, I'll have to hold off! Maybe by the time the Minnie 5K comes around, I'll have one then!

 

[Jen117]

Angie - We will be in the 400 for DD7 and the 200 for DD4. I will definately look for you, so don't be freaked out when a complete stranger walks up to you (really, I am nice!). I have no clue what I will be wearing, but I may pull out a WISH shirt so everyone can see me coming!!!!

QUESTION.... to anyone that has stayed at POFQ before. Do they have coffee makers in the room? I can't find info on that and I know the Deluxes do but the values don't. Thanks in advance!!!

We stay at POFQ all the time and yes, they definitely have coffee makers.

I don't get this. My number is 9,xxxx and I put down a 6 hour time. I was being optomistic that I would lose a lot of weight and train really hard all year.

THANK YOU!!! Now I can bring coffee and oatmeal!!!!

 

[Kristi1357]

OMG - I forgot all about throw away clothes!
Must get to Walmart....I do still have some of those super cheap Target blankets to throw away though.
We brought them last year and never needed them.

Stephanie - I was inside so I didn't see the cool Vegas fireworks. I would have loved to see them, but being at my Johnny's feet was better! I do not recommend partying in Vegas before a race though.
