I have a nagging fear that I have stress fractures in both legs (that the one in the left foot never really healed). I am so determined to do the Half that I'm considering not going back to the doctor until January and then planning on taking whatever time I need to heal then, and just dealing with the pain until then. Am I obsessed?

Oh, no, Jackie!!! I am so worried about you. Are you sure you should wait that long for a diagnosis? Sending you
and a
Cam...maybe we need a new acronym...BTO (Band Takes Over)
Kaley's football team made it to districts so marching season's not over yet, Veteran's Day parade this weekend, Xmas parade next month and then concert band season starts
How about you, Jackie?
Mel -- That is a great acronym!! Congrats to Kaley's school! University of Delaware is now 8-1 and going to championship playoffs, so Jenn's season is extended (God only knows the impact on exams so far and I am so glad we aren't going away over Thanksgiving because she wouldn't be going with us). Andrew's school also is now guaranteed a spot in the state championships and his band will play at every football game. He also has 2 Christmas parades, one the day after Thanksgiving and one a week later, so we are in for the long haul with him, too!
Weeeehheeeeee - Tim's holiday got approved. That's it, we're definiltely 100 per cent coming. I'm gonna go Gooooofffffyyyyyyyyyy
Oh, Helen! I am so happy! We haven't seen you since Main Street in
Disneyland during the inaugural half-marathon week! Can't wait for January. Now just be sure to plan your flights so you can be at all the WISH meets!
Hey all!
Cam - Hi!! Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your effort and positive attitude while dealing with the injuries. How is Howard? Let him know that we all had a great time at MCM. Lot's of rumblings about a big group of us trying to do Philly next year. Are you guys in?
Thank you, Mike!! I am so inspired by everyone here and so many people have worked through much more serious health concerns, and really, we're supposed to be "endurance" athletes, right?
Howard is very much planning on MCM for 2008 and now you tell us you're doing Philly instead?
Are we always going to be a year behind you? We are supporting our friend/my partner, Jessica at Philly next weekend. It will be her first marathon. I don' t know how anyone can survive that without the WISH team, but we'll be there this year as spectators. Right now, Howard is beyond excited knowing that come mid-May, his training/competition schedule will be governed only by his desires and personal commitments, and not by his school commitments.
Hey, did everyone see the ToT picture thread I started? Lots of fun ones there, including a great one of Anne as a gorgeous blonde, Kristi as a saucy wench, and one of Krista and Stephen being their wonderful, fun-loving selves! Oh, and you have to see Craig as a surfer dude and Martha as the crazy elephant driver (yeah, that's not fear you see in Judy's eyes, it's pure, unadulterated joy!) I think Judy and Martha and Kathy and I had more fun on Dumbo than all the children combined!
!?! Good? Slowly now, set the can down and step away!
It's a great group!
I used to have the XRS - tons of zip and plenty of room to haul stuff around. The only reason I don't have it still is because I moved back to Canada from the US and it wasn't worth it to import the car across the border. And then I moved home and the car was more expensive than I could afford here. Shucks!
Ha ha!
Oh I'm so glad you're coming for sure!!
I will listen as soon as both my managers are gone, I mean, as soon as I get home. Yeah, that's it, as soon as I get home. 
Well, it seemed ot work, but short strides feel like I'm workign 10 times harder. If it works and I don't hurt, though, I'm on it!
