You guys are getting me so pumped up and I am trying to stay CALM!!! I am struggling with tightness in my back and that is leading to big apprehension about the half. My plan is to have fun and not stress this time around. It is my sister and her boyfriend's first time and they are freaking out way more than me. I am wearing my WISH shirt in the race so give me a shout out if you see me. I will be the one in the Panthers visor!

You are DEFINATELY in the right place!! The journey can be overwhelming, but it is so much better when completed with the support of a TEAM!!!
Matt Very inspiring. I already put 2 Rocky songs on DH mp3 for last year (it was a joke but he actually liked it) Maybe I should sneak that one on there this year.

I know its a mental game - and the reason why I feel like I'm losing is I had planned to do better - to train better - drat that meinier's disease anyway - but I'm NOT giving UP and I'm NOT giving in! No way will I want to hold anyone back - but I am going to give it my best - promise!!
Someone is singing? Here's My song that gets me to the next mile!!
This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!
Every endeavor,
I have made - ever -
Is coming into play,
Is here and now - today!
This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!
Give me this moment -
This precious chance -
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!
This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Become one!
This is the day -
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!
For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!
This is the moment -
My final test -
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second Best!
I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!
This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll sit forever
With the gods!
When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!
(and btw I'm old, Donny Osmond sings this - I heart Donny!!)
Allyson
WELLCOME!!

good thing Carrie asked us to keep is short and sweet--as there were 3 pages for me to read since this morning!
Well, my hairdresser had to reschedule for Wednesday afternoon, so I'm all worried about that. I'm sure (due to taper madness I"m sure) that she's gonna butcher my hair and I'll look like a complete dufus this weekend. Guess that's what the WISH visor is for, right?
I'm also having race attire anxiety again. I've decided that it will most likely be too warm for me to run in my ss WISH shirt. I've run in it at both ToT and Minnie last year and was too hot. But, I"ve yet to run in my WISH tank.....so the dilemma is, do I chance running in the tank, or maybe I'll just wear a tank I've worn before and just go with the WISH hat. Decisions, decisions....and yes, I haven't started a lick of packing yet!
We head down that road tonight.

Allyson -- YAY!! Another WISH team member! How great to have you here! Get ready for the most fulfilling year of your life!
Oh, I LOVE when we share song lyrics. Here is one of my current favorites:
This is My Moment (performed by Jordin Sparks)
There was a time I packed my dreams away.
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid.
I thought I'd reached the end,
But baby that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays.
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.
I have to decide,
Was I gonna to play it safe.
Or look somewhere deep in side,
Try to turn the tide,
And find the strength to take that step of faith.
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.
And I have the courage like never before, yeah.
I've settled for less now I'm ready for more,
Ready for more.
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.
I'm living in the moment
I look around I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.
This is my now.
The bolded lyrics scream "WISH team love & support" to me.

Hey everyone-
This is your week! You've made it! Enjoy, please! I'm cheering from home and I'm sad I won't be there. I'm missing the big day!
I just want to encourage all of you. I've been watching the thread from the sidelines this year and I know you are all ready, even if you feel you're lacking because your 10th run of 16 miles wasn't quite fast enough or done properly or your socks are the wrong color and your ipod isn't charged....
You made it! You're on your way! Have FUN and enjoy the weekend, especially your race.Go team!
Not that I'm emotional this week or anything, but had to wipe the tears after reading this one...
Judy -
at your Airborne story. Thought I was the only one who couldn't take it! I'm megadosing C now too for the same reason. And you'd better find me too Saturday morning cause I'm so scared already 
that I can't sleep.Pat - Holly is ADORABLE!!!!
Allyson -
Matt - Okay, crying again...
Stephanie - I'm hoping DH doesn't notice how many WISH shirts are in the suitcase. I'm not sure if I'm wearing the tank or the sleeveless one!
Carrie - Sorry - I'm too nervous!
Blew off the LR Saturday cause I felt like the crud was winning out and sleeping seemed like a good idea. By this afternoon my co-workers were scared of me
, so DH and I took the dog out for a 3 mile run when I got home. We'll be checking into POFQ Thursday night - anyone else?

Sandy--"This is the Moment" is one of my favorite songs!!! I love Jekyll and Hyde--GREAT musical! I'm going to have to get my iPod and listen to that now.

Cam I've not heard that one, I've got money in my ipod account!! Thanks for sharing!!
This Is The Moment I have it programed right at 2 miles it seems, and I'm just always close to "home" to turn out of the park and take a short cut home - then I hear that, and I think, ok 10 more minutes!!
Jackie we'll be checking into BCV Thursday afternoon!!
Wow.... Monday is coming to a close....

Whew, I read all the posts as I'm sitting here in the BWI airport waiting on my flight back to Rochester. I didn't do any running after my run on Saturday. I took 2 full days off to try to rest my hip.
Good Luck everyone and safe travels!

Cam - I have that song on my ipod! Lucky for everyone here I am running this weekend or they might have to hear me sing along. I just don't have Jordin's range....ok, or her voice.
Alright, I feel bad that I have cowbell and others do not. I will be wearing my dd's lime green backpack at the expo on Friday so if someone sees me, introduce yourself and I will pass on some cowbells. Mine aren't lime green though.
I am still wondering what people from Wyoming do with all those cowbells....

Hi Team..
Since we're doing the song lyrics thing...I just HAD to add what I believe to be the single greatest running song (especially DISTANCE running song) EVER. This guy just HAS to be talking about running 
. Enjoy.
Reason to Believe by Dashboard Confessional
Oh sweet lungs don't fail me now
Your burning has turned into fear
It drills me in my every step, I'm moving quick
But you're always on my heels
Just one more breath, I beg you please
Just one more step, my knees are weak
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive
My heart is sturdy but it needs you
Breathe
Don't you want to breathe
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need
My capalaries scream
There's nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross the line
Will you carry me there one more time
Steady lungs, don't fail me now
I feel you bursting, but you wont let me die
Fill me up with every step, I'm feeling sick
But I'm leaving it behind...
Just one more breath I beg you please
Just one more step my knees are weak
My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive
My heart is sturdy but I need you....
Breathe
Dont you want to breathe
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need
My capalaries scream
Theres nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross the line
Will you carry me there once more
I have reason to believe
That I have victories to taste
I can feel them on my teeth
Upon my lips
And in my chest
I can roll them on my tongue
They are more supple than defeat
I feel the tension in my lungs
And every move is filled with my resolve to....
Breathe

Good Evening Team
Went to the gym and did 4 miles on treadmill then core class
MINNIE marathon here I come 
and DH decided he is going to run it with me. Stephanie -- You guys HAVE to run again so Bobby has somebody to run with. By the way I'm sure your hair will be fine
Mel Sorry!! I only got the ones at the Target in Bradenton, not Sarasota! I swear!!
OK totally freaking out about how I'm going to packed and get everything done tomorrow and wednesday night. Have to have car packed Thursday morning as I am leaving early from work, goal is to be at Expo by 4 - at latest.
I REALLY wanted to help out at one of the water stops or somewhere with the full before I scream team, since I found out I can stay Saturday night, but Disney World Sports only has a wait list left. So if ANYONE knows ANYONE who was supposed to do it and can't make it, let me know. I am HOUNDING email and phone calls to Disney World Sports right now

Allyson (MomofCKJ) - Hi! I remember you from the "planners for 2008" thread I started last year (sorry I kind of dropped the ball on keeping it up-to-date...it got too big too fast and I just couldn't keep up, lol!).
Like you, I'm new over here and planning to run the WDW Half in '09. Everyone here is sooooo friendly, and I'm thrilled to have a group to virtually train with! I look forward to "seeing" you here!
