I am trained for this marathon. Somehow I don't feel so greatly trained. 
I only did 10 minutes on the elliptical last night before I had to get off and go home. Of course I woke up sick yesterday--sore throat, head cold, terrible headache that lasted ALL day. It was the headache that made me stop last night, my head was pounding and the noise of the community center and my mp3 player didn't help. I am not sure if the headache was from the head cold or from not having caffeine all day. I am feeling a little better today, but I sound terrible. I've been taking Day-Quil/Night-Quil and my doctor called in a prescription that I'm going to start taking tonight. Crossing my fingers I don't have to run this marathon sick!!
Susan--It's so great to see you here!! I've missed you! Can't wait to start training together again and talking football smack.
Howard--Here's my confession: I never drink water either. The only water I get is when I'm running and when I'm brushing my teeth. I don't usually take medicine, but when I do, I wash it down with Diet Coke. I am so BAD!!!! I've been drinking water and Gator Ade only since yesterday and it's killing me!!
Lisa--It's great haiving you around again! I'll miss seeing you this weekend.
Christa--I know what you mean about the excitement level at Disney. The only other big race I've done (bigger than a 10K) is the Flying Pig half marathon in Cincinnati, while it was a great race and a wonderful course, the excitement was no where near what it is at WDW.

. We kind of expected it but I am still waiting to hear about services. I told DH we could bag the weekend if he wanted to. We're supposed to be out of here tomorrow...
I'm excited as all you know what but I have butterflies!
How has your Goofy training gone? Do you feel ready? I can't wait to see you again. Are you bringing your family?
YES! I haven't had my....."monthly visitor" in eight months and it SHOWS UP TODAY! 
And it's making up for lost time! UGGGHHHHH!!! 
OK, fine. Let's get it over with. I do, however, have all the joys that accompany it - backache, cramps that would bring a mere mortal to his knees...guess this explains why I was extra vile last week. 
I am not such a nervous wreck as I have been the past few days. Guess at this point I'm just ready to go (except for the 100 or so things I have to do before I leave). It really helped to get all your very kind PMs yesterday. I really appreciate that. 
But I think you really might be on to something there. Concentrating on work? Come on! I haven't done that in a week!
..but holy moly you're pretty! Look at those eyes! I can't believe for a second you are 50! 
Can you imagine? I called myself all kinds of unflattering names, until Charlie came in and asked what the heck was going on. I haven't yet checked everything off my packing list, so I'm sure I would have realized. But at any rate, I do have three pairs of capris in my regular suitcase which would have worked too.
