This definitely provides a little extra motivation! I am very pleased with the medal design, it looks great! I can't quite make out the charms hanging on the bottom of the medal. Can anyone tell what they are? And it is really exciting to see the course mapped out. I'd already kind of...

Haha, that's what I've been telling myself! Just getting out there is better than nothing. However, at some point I'm also going to have to remind myself that I'm supposed to be running 13 miles in October, and might want to pick it up a little...;)

Suffering in the weather here, too. The extended forecast shows temps in the upper 90s to 100, overnight lows barely reaching 80, and lots and lots of sun. Making it really hard for me to increase my mileage! I wish that I knew of a good place to run indoors, but can't bring myself to pay...

I am a bit worried about the dinner situation, too. I have dinner reservations at 5:50 on Saturday (I will be vacationing with 2 WDW first-timers, so I'm trying not to let the race affect the rest of the trip), and I am debating how much/what I'm going to be able to eat. It's the buffet at...

YES!! I still can't believe it! Congrats to the Hawks! :sohappy: Hope to see the boys make a trip to WDW in the near future!

Less than 5 hours until puck drop! Enjoy the game, all! Let's go Hawks! :sohappy:

3 miles today, frustrated by the heat (not to mention some knee pain), even at 7am. Perhaps June was not the smartest time to start training for my first half? ;)

I also ran twice for a total of 7 miles last week. I'm finding I'm going to have to keep my goals simpler for a while. It is so hot here, and my regular job is outdoors and physically demanding, and I'm really having trouble just getting out the door to run at all. Not good, since I'm...

I am sticking with the same goal of 12 miles from last week, since I didn't quite make it. Also want to add in doing weights on days that I do not run.

I didn't quite make my goal either, as I wasn't able to get my final run in this evening. Ended up with 3 runs for a total of 10 miles this week.

3.5 miles after work, and home in time to catch the Blackhawks/Sharks game! :)

Not a wuss at all, Sweetpee, or if you are, so am I!! :wave: I am struggling with this one, too. Unfortunately, I don't seem to do very well at getting up early to run before work, and don't feel comfortable going after dark, so I am stuck running in the hot, muggy evening hours. Ugh. At...

Regarding the relationship issue, both of my roommates on my internship were engaged and planning weddings during our time at Disney (one was also from a small town), and both are now happily married. I was not in a relationship at the time, but had family issues develop right before I left for...

Goonie007, I love the lost/map picture! Great idea! Here's mine: We are in the back row (amazed, puzzled and asleep), looking in the opposite direction of the dinosaur. The best part was hearing the comments from other guests in the viewing area--"Mom, what were those girls looking...

I say go for it, too! I love Chef Mickey's, would definitely recommend it. I am doing dinner at Akershus and dinner at 1900 Park Fare on my trip this fall, both for the first time. And the youngest member of my party is 25! :)
