WK of Jan 4 - WISH Walking/Running Club

[Kira G.]

Kira G-- Congratulations! Yep, I ran the Goofy pregnant, but didn't know. I had him in September. I'm glad to see you didn't do your LR this week- I was worn out when I was about your stage (although I'd finished the Goofy, so that didn't help). My doctor told me to be able to maintain a conversation-- so at 20 weeks I ran the Minnie with Becky (Lexxifern) and chatted the whole way. As I got bigger, it was actually liberating to just enjoy running (or walking) and not worry about improving my times! I'm still running now, but only for fun. I've decided to focus on just being happy I'm running and worry about speed next year. Send me a PM if you want any details or just to vent!
Jen in GA

Thanks Jen! I probably will pm you in the near future. I just re-read your entire blog, which was really fun. I'm probably most impressed by you doing the Race for the Taste 3 weeks after giving birth ! Yikes - I'm usually just getting up and moving around then!

I am feeling pretty tired these past few days - that deep pregnancy "my body is working twice as hard as usual" tiredness - so I may need to bring taking it easy to a new level for the Half! At least I feel like I know my body pretty well, and I trust myself to listen to it. If you see me on the course make sure I'm taking care of myself.

Last day on Maui, day 5. (You all must be glad to read that ).

Maui Ocean Center (aquarium)

That was weird (as in Weird Al Yankovic)

Now home unpacking, and packing. That's a first for me.

One day at the office, then will be catching the 10 pm flight outta here. Arrive Wednesday afternoon.

This is a shout out to all you AWESOME WISHers taking on Disney this weekend!

You rock!
You're gonna rock!
I'm gonna rock with you again some day!

The weather looks good. I can't wait to hear your results.

Ok, I contacted the weather gods and I am taking one for the team.

All that rain that they were forecasting has been sent to me up here in AL. I will put up with the rain if it means that y'all will have nice weather to run in. You're Welcome!

 

[CarolA]

Just got back from a quick jog.

For those of you NOT from the south... it's not the heat, its the HUMIDITY! Seriously, in ATL today with the rain it's probably 100% LOL. I just considered it training for Disney, but Suzanne posted on the weather thread that the humidity is HIGH right now and she's used to it! (Forecast calls for 60% humidity!)Allie's right we have rain up this way in AL and GA. However, in Atlanta we are NOT allowed to whine about rain. We would rather have rain that rationing!!

So drink up boys and girls!

And on a completely unrelated not that 50% of the population won't care about. After trashing one skirt company last week I think I have found a winner. I ordered the Commitment skirt from Skirtgodess.com LOVE IT! It's fit well, stays in place and has GREAT pockets! Wore it on my jog today and "it's going to Disney!" Now if we only got a discount there. I need to order more before they change it on me too LOL!

Yeah, Hope this rain helps Allatoona and Lanier!

My daughter can't stand to take a bath at my mom's because she will only let her use about an inch of water, due to her trying to ration her water. Plus she has buckets in the shower to collect the runoff water and she uses that to water her plants.

But Atlantans sure can't drive in the rain either!

Glad you found a skirt that works for you Carol!

Thanks Sunny! We will miss you this weekend!

For all those new to WISH, Sunny is the very talented graphic designer who designed the WISH shirts for us a few years ago. We love you Sunny!

 

[MouseDogMom]

Sunny - Thanks! We're waiting patiently (NOT!) for the day when you're back with us in body. You're always there in spirit!

Carol - I consider the rain one more reason that I can't wait to leave for Florida! It's really ugly here in NC today too.

ONE more sleep before I leave. I'm working a couple of hours in the AM, then DH and I hit the road. We were going to drive only part of the way, but I scored a really cheap room at POP tomorrow night, so we're driving all the way so we can wake up Thursday at WDW. See some of you at the Expo Thursday!

Thanks my awesome Buzzie Teammate! I wish you could be down there!!!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Sunny, thanks for being here and your supporting WISHes. Miss you very much!

Tracy, thanks for the weather reports.

Jeff, will you be posting pics from WDW?

Carol, thanks for the skirtgoddess review. I'm very tempted.

 

[mkymsehi]

Lily,

I will sporadically post pictures, provided I have internet Wi-Fi at WWoS or Big River Grill by Boardwalk. I'm not at my DVC this trip, so I'm not paying to get WI-FI.

 

[TEK224]

Hey Sunny - Great to see you posting again!

I'll say it again - Good luck Wishers! I'll be thinking of you all (and crying while I'm sitting at work. )

Alright Team Lime Green,

I'm outta here. Packing away the laptop, so either you'll hear from me when I get to SLC, or MCO.

Aloha Oe.

[MomofCKJ]

Safe travels to all those heading over today! We leave in 24 hours! See you there!

My kids have yet another snow day today. Should make the last day of getting work squared away and packing doubly triply finalized interesting. Never a dull moment!

Good Morning Everyone: I had a question about the start of the half. Can spectators be at the start? Any of you that have family and scream teamers with you, are they at the race start at all? Thanks.
