Wk Of Jan 6 - WISH Walking/Running Club

[Kristi1357]

Since my mind is mush and I can't find anything through google....

Does anyone know the avg. mins./mile pace to have a 3 hour half?
eta: about a 13:45?

I am thinking I am going to push myself (even with my lack of training) since this will probably be my last WDW half. For awhile anyway...

I think I am going crazy!! I have been trying my best to get the house straight and the rest of the packing done before we go to bed tonight... That way we can leave at 9am tomorrow and be ready to go!! I can't concentrate on it though. I can suffer through about 15 minutes then I am back here checking the computer again. The worst part?!.... is that ALOT of people have left already and there isn't alot of conversation going on around here!! So I keep refreshing the page hoping someone has posted. That's the down side to living so close to WDW... I don't have to leave until the last minute!!

Question... for those of you still here. Saturday I really want to cheer on our WISHer's participating in the half. I would like to go the TTC and cheer from there... then maybe to the 12 and cheer from there. However... I have no clue how to get from All Star Sports to the TTC. Will there be buses specifically for the Spectators? What time do they start running? I have tried finding the information in the packet and on the website but can't find anything. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dana-- I am still here! Tomorrow is my last down. I am going crazy too, work is not keeping my attention and tomorrow is going to be evern worse!

When I cheered for the half I always drove to Epcot before the roads closed (I think they close at 5:20-5:30) and then took the monorail to the TTC. But I doubt you want to get up that early!!! I think there are spectator buses, but I have never used them. Hopefully someone will have better answers than I did!

Dana - for the full, I usually cheer on Main St. or the GF, then catch a bus at TTC to go to AK. I would imagine you can do the same sort of thing for the Half. I think Carrie is going from Main St. to Epcot... And maybe check with Anne, she will be scream teaming too.

Bill - I don't think I will do the WDW half again. Maybe the 5k. It is just too darn hard to train (esp. LRs) during the holidays. I will just have to settle for things like the Minnie, RFTT or ToT. I should really branch out and do races in other places too.

Sandy - thank you!!!!

Ok, time to leave work and go home to pack!

 

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

OMG, pack....I haven't really started to pack and my flight leaves tonight. I am at work downing tea to help stave off this cold and trying to get some stuff done before the work day ends. I did remember to put my AP, my race packet and some Body Glide on top of the suitcase though. My mind keeps wandering, so maybe next time that happens I'll start on my packing list!

Went to see the chiro for a last round of ART for my piriformis to make sure it is in check for the long plane ride and race.

Can I say I'm getting more scared of this race by the minute?

 

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

So...um....I've never actually run in my WISH shirt.... By the time it arrived I needed colder gear. So am I just asking for a problem if I do wear it for the full?

Leana - If it's a tank, tehy are very loose and I *think* you should eb ok. Try it on at least. The others have mroe areas that could be possible problems adn it's doesn't seem worth teh risk. JMO. BTW, you will be fine. WOrse case, you will fall back to us and we will keep you going!

Dana - OMG, you have it bad! Been there. I was one of 3 left last year on Fridya and maybe less in 06. Trust me, I feel your pain. I'll still be here until tomorrow night too! BTW, I think after about 5:30, the spectator buses only go to Epcot. BUT, you can monrail from there. If you wanted to be out and about earlier, tehy would go direct to TnT. HTH!

 

[HMHunters]

Dana - I am planning on screaming for the half at TTC. My plan is to get on a spectator bus around 5:00 and head for Epcot then take the monorail. Last year my kids took a spectator bus to Epcot around 5:20. I have NEVER been able to get a concrete spectator bus schedule. (I will probably be so anxious about missing it that I'll be out there at 4:30!)

Nerves are taking over. Still one more day of work. This afternoon I'm concentrating on getting everything ready for my kids here. Tomorrow afternoon it's packing time!

Safe travels, all!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to post to help Dana out. I'm still here until Friday at 5 PM. I can't wait for it to get here, but have far too much to do to get ready by then.

Leana: I'd really worry about running in a shirt you haven't run in before. I never ran in mine so I'm planning on having it for after the race. During the race I may print out the WISH logo and pin it to the back of my shirt so that all my WISH teammates can offer encouragement as they run past me.

Good luck getting thru the next couple days everyone.

So I should be prepared to get on a bus around 5 am? Well... I don't know if DH is gonna be thrilled about getting up that early... but I will do what I need to do to cheer everyone on!!

 

[wtpclc]

Dana - That's what we're doing. You're welcome to meet us on Main STreet. It's an awesome experience. PM me if you want my cell!

 

[Sandy321]

where's the website that you put in bib numbers and get updates?

(Yes, I should be packing,)

 

[angietuck2]

Dana Thank you for your post and letting me know I am not alone. I was doing the EXACT same thing yesterday..... EXCEPT I'm not even running We are going to cheer for 1/2 at TTR and Poly then mile 12 but we are getting up and driving to Epcot at 5. Actually DH keeps saying he is just going to ride with me to start, I try to tell him he needs to be there earlier and he says for what?? He hates standing around waiting at the start, especially since he will be by himself. Are you cheering by yourself or is fam coming. You could ride with us from ALL SS if you want?

Luckily I have been busy at work today. Speaking of, have to get back.

I have been leaning toward going to MS since it will be so early, I was worried about being stuck way in back and my kids not being able to see but if we go that early do you think we can get a decent spot.
