Yes folks - there's ANOTHER meet now. Lorilovestigger over at wewantstheredhead.blogspot.com (great blog, by the way) is hosting her own meet and greet. Here's how awesome it is - it's RIGHT after my blue bayou meet. PERFECT timing Lori! Princess Fee wants to host a small world meet too...perhaps we do that before Blue Bayou? Or after Pirates? Not sure - Fee - your thoughts?
Speaking of Disneyland - let's not forget the real reason we're all going to be there.

Um....no wait....that's not right.
Oh yes - the Disneyland Half Marathon.
The race waivers are out and printed. The race guide is downloadable. I've been training and feel about 80% ready. If I can do a nice longer loop this weekend (8miles or more) I'll feel really ready. No matter what I'm still nervous. I want that coast-to-coast medal SO BAD I can taste it. My plan is to get as close to the start as I can before 6am so that I have that buffer of time before the sweep trucks in case I need them.
It's nice that in the guide they posted the sweep points. 4 and 10 miles, and although they're requiring a 16 minute pace, the times for the sweep points seem to be around 25 minutes, which is also a nice buffer.
I just know I want to finish in under 3:27:51 if I can.
And see my cheering smiling friends.
And enjoy a trip to Disneyland.
I'll be announcing my whole schedule here soon so that you all can come hang out with me whenever and whereever!
See you guys soon!
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
Still jealous... :-)
ReplyDeleteKeep your foot on "training" gas pedal! One of those pay me now or pay me later propositions...with the "later" payment being more painful, ha!
Sounds like you have your training under control - way to go! I think that you'll have no problem on getting that 8 miles in this weekend either... And I did look at the booklet and think they're timing is very fair! They may realise that a lot of people won't be used to the heat (if there is any).
ReplyDeleteAs for the meet, I have decided that it will be before the Blue Bayou! I liked the idea of after Pirates, but I don't want it to impose on Lori's meet if times run over - and I don't want to leave it too late either!
Disneyland here we come!
I still haven't found my fairy godmother...
ReplyDeleteI SOOO want to be at DL with all of you! But I know the meets will be great, and we'll hear about them all on the podcast. DO 8 MILES this weekend, no matter what. Your feet need to feel the pounding.
ReplyDeleteHave fun and puts some cheeky miles in for me :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting my meet. Hopefully we'll get to have some fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel as ready as I should be either. And like you, I can taste that Coast to Coast medal. I never slept with my WDW 1/2 medal on but I just may have to sleep with my C2C medal.
See you at the starting line!! (Or before)
