Wk of Dec 31--WISH Walking/Running Club

[Tiger Lily 03]

Oh great! It's finally starting! I haven't been very emotional this year. I have been sitting here thinking about racing and marathoning and how I prefer team events.... Of course you can see where this is heading. You guys have made disney a team marathon.... Now the tears. I'll never make it past the gospel choir!!

Oh man! Tha's it. I'm up and down this roller coaster and I've got the tears thinking of all we've been thorugh.

It's here! It's here!

Carrie - 5 hour pace group!! You can witness the weeping 1st hand and even laugh about it!!

 

[princessmomma]

O.K. you guys quit with all the sappy talk! I can't stand it, I thought I was alright this morning...got some packing done... feeling fine... now I am an emotional mess again!(Insert mental picture of Colleen running around aimlessly! Or might as well sobbing too!)

Babysitter just called and all is good with the plans for tomorrow morning when DH takes me to the airport in CLT.

Kids clothes washed...
Reminder notes written...

Oh I forgot to pack sunscreen... be right back...

Colleen

 

[chimera]

I'd love to run Disney every year, but we do have to have kids sometime!!

You're more than welcome to borrow mine anytime

I tried to convince DH last night that we could go up tonight instead of tomorrow, but he wasn't biting.



Are we there yet?

I'll never make it past the gospel choir!!

oh noooooooooo, not the Gospel Choir! I'm gonna lose it!

So are we going to have some marathon babies this weekend? (NO, "we" does NOT include me)

You'll all be happy to know that I am holding steady at "pale yellow" (I'll keep you posted)

In 24 hours I'll be in Orlando...

I almost forgot my sunglasses (and they're prescription)

 

[monte]

I'll be cheering you guys on all the way to the finish line! Whoo-hoo

W.I.S.H. Rocks!....Go TEAM Go!

Funny you should mention that, I was just trying to decide if I should post on here and question why I'm clear when I've been drinking Gator Ade all day? What else can I do to get my electrolytes up?

Have you tried a V-8?

 

[skfulkers]

You guys are a mess!!! I distinctly remove myself from the "mess group" because I haven't been on here all morning.

What is my wife doing running around with little souvenirs???

I can't believe this weekend is finally here. I may not get another chance to post before we leave, so I'll say goodbye for now (until we all meet tomorrow evening).

This is it, guys. We're here. Everyone remember all the training you've put in and have a great race. To rephrase Craig, let's all go out and set fire to the course, whatever that may be for each of us. See you guys tomorrow.

Have you tried a V-8?

I haven't. We have some at home, I just don't know if I can force it down without gagging. I hate tomatoes.

 

[princessmomma]

Have you tried a V-8?

I have three glasses going here...Spicey V8, gatorade and water...if I keep them in sight, I will drink. I'm not looking in the commode to see what color that turns out to be.

Oh, 24 hours I will be at Expo getting the (much envied by me) Goofy bracelet that I saw MelR and Sara wearing last year.

 

[plutosmyfav]

I haven't. We have some at home, I just don't know if I can force it down without gagging. I hate tomatoes.

OK, how about chicken broth, the full salt kind?

 

[MelRhoads]

Race prep slug! that is me. I am not hydrating! I am packing water bottles I am not trying on my clothes. I am packing. The sunglasses thing reminds me i need the "cat crap" to keep my glasses from fogging, but i haven't gotten it yet!

That's a good idea, I'll try that when I get home. Thanks! I am leaving work in 45 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melissa -- I have "fog tech" -- do you want me to bring an extra packet or two to the WISH meet tomorrow? Maybe that will save you a trip to the store?

 

[aladdinsgirl]

Sad news. My Mom is not allowed to run the half marathon. She went in for a breathing treatment today and her allergist would not clear her to run. She is so sad.

Krista -- I am so sorry to hear that. I hope she will still be able to make the trip and enjoy her WDW vacation. If anything, maybe it will be a little less exhausting and she can recover without taking any chances on getting much worse. Sending and :

 

[TXBelle]

I did it on Christmas Eve (I meant running in all my gear with wasitpack fully loaded!)!

I am so glad you edited your post. Definitely TMI if you hadn't.

I will NOT be bringing home that kind of souvenir for WDW. Been there, done that. That's how we got the twins. (I know, TMI).

You don't want to know. Especially since you have removed yourself from our "mess group."

MelR - I want to do 5 hours, but I'm so afraid of teh heat and what my recent ilneess may have done. I don't have a clue what to run now.

Mel - lol. My prhase is "Is it Friday yet?" My co-worker is upset because she won't see me really bouncing off the walls tomorrow.

Krista - WHat a bummer! I've been praying, but I guess it's not to be. Give her a hug from me. BTW, I hate tomoto juice and raw tomatoes. Love spicey V-8. You may want to try it, when your stomach is feeling ebtter.

Sunny - lol. I almost didn't understand the pale yellow comment. I'm hoolding steady there too, though.
