Wk Of Sept 8 - WISH Walking/Running Club

[chimera]

Hello everyone!

For those new to us, we are a group of people who are planning to participate in walking/running events throughout the year. For most of us, the ultimate goal is to train and compete in the annual WDW Half/Full marathons. We'll also be posting news and training for various other events throughout the year. We range from non-running beginners to triathletes. Come join us, whether you're training for an event or walking/running for fitness!

New WISH Team members. If you read one thing over and over, believe this. Being part of this team is fantastic. Part of the ride you get for the event is what I call the roller coaster. There will be lots of ups and downs. The more you post here, the more you will find yourself enjoying the ride. It is an incredible journey. Don't be afraid, shy or whatever to come here and just post up anything. You don't have to know us right away, or all of us at all. You will get to know some of us. It makes the event you are enjoying have MORE meaning and we love to have you.

6 miles this am in 1:17:48 for a 12:58 pace at R4/W2. Really liking the extra walking minute, but not excited about how it's killed my pace. I was also a bit slower because I had to go out early this morning. I left the house at 5:50 am because we had a garage sale to be ready for at 8. Y'all had me all creeped out about running alone in the morning...especially in the parts with no street lights where it was so dark I couldn't even see the sidewalk. Between worrying about Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers jumping out at me, I was also afraid the sprinklers in the neighborhoods I run through would suddenly kick on! I made it without sprinkling or psychotics so a good run overall!

Good luck Lynne in Ironman part deux!!

Congrats to everyone on their LR today! Some great mileage and paces!

Krista...sounds like you made the right decision! Just don't be a stranger around here, 'kay?

Colleen...when I took the running clinic a couple months ago, the guy recommended stopping halfway through a run to stretch for about 5 minutes. I haven't had the guts to try stopping for that long yet, but maybe I'll try it since it worked so well for you!

I did manage to find a way to be sure that I don't register for the Sarasota Half. I signed up to be a volunteer instead!

Sorry to be brief, but I'm in the midst of writing a paper on pain management

Good training everyone!

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey there team!!!!

How is everyone doing????

My goal this week is to stay in top of this thread.....

Mel: Good luck on your garage sale today!!

DH and I will be soon heading out for our 19K, we where going to go early but there was a biography special on Capt Jack.....oopss I mean Jonny Depp and I just had to watch. Temps are quite cool today so no worries about what time of day we get out there.

I hope you all have great LW/LR today!!!!

Good morning Kim and Mel. Sure is quiet here this morning. I should try sleeping in sometime on a Sunday morning. It's a regular work day for me though.

Kim good luck on trying to stay up with this thread. It can move pretty fast.

Rest day or me and one more recovery day for my Lady.


Have a wonderful Sunday WISH Team.

My next marathon is the Suntrust Richmond Marathon in early November (part of my Goofy training in years past has been to do a couple of "long slow marathons"). That meant yesterday was an 18-miler. 18 miles is a long way. Seriously, 18 miles is a long way. I remember now why every year after Goofy I say I'm going to do a 20-miler every month so I don't have to go through the discomfort of working back up to 26 miles from virtually nothing (because after Goofy I tend to "rest" for the remainder of the winter! <LOL>)

At least I have my virtual training group to commisserate with. Good luck to everyone doing their long mileage today. And thanks for letting me whine a little.

 

[monte]

Wendy,
Is that marathon in Richmond, Va.? Good luck

Hi Everyone:

I just received a call from my sister at 8:30am this morning that my Mom has passed away. She's been very sick with dementia for a long time, and has been going downhill for a while. But it was a total surprise that she died this morning.

Sorry for the downer post, but I'm struggling with trying to figure out what to do next.

 

[Minnie]

Dave - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

 

[MouseDogMom]

MSDave - So, so sorry to hear about your mom. Even if you know it's coming, it doesn't make it any easier. Lots of and coming your way to deal with the next few days.

Jackie

 

[Big Vic]

SWDave - Sorry to hear about your mom. You and your family will be in our thoughts.

 

[chimera]

SWDave... I am so sorry for your loss. If you need anything, you know where to find us

 

[windwalker]

Mouse Buddy, I know this is a tough time for you and your family. I lost my mom about 10 years ago to illness. Our thoughts are with you.

Dave

 

[HMHunters]

MSDave - So sorry to hear about your mom. I lost mine very unexpectedly in February and it still pains my heart. Please know you'll be in my prayers.

MS Dave I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Kim

 

[Hey Mickey]

Dave, I am so sorry for your loss. Having a parent suffering from a long-term illness and knowing what will inevitably come still doesn't prepare you for it. I guess nothing really can.

My thoughts and sympathy are with you and your family.

Erica

 

[Lexxiefern]

Dave, I am so sorry to hear about your mom

[Dennyha]

Dave,
Sorry to hear about your loss. You'll be in our thoughts.

 

[Dennyha]

Sorry I've been gone for so long, but we've finally MOVED. We moved in last week, and after a week, we are finally starting to get settled in.
We love the area, and went for our first run this AM as South Carolinians. We went running within the development. I need to find some new places close by that are outside of the development. We signed up for a local 10K at the end of September, so we have to get back in the swing of running again.

Also, Mel, you can probably edit my listing on the Team Roster to show SC instead of OH. Thanks
