21:08:21 [pixie] Shall we wait until 10 past?
21:08:35 [Esmerelda] Hi everyone!
21:08:43 [AliciaG] fine by me.
21:08:55 [AliciaG] How are you today, Susan?
21:09:03 [Esmerelda] I hate aol-it said I was in the chat, but I wasn't :-(
21:09:09 [pixie] I watched my marathon video yesterday and it got me pumped. I just need to get this body in gear
21:09:31 [Esmerelda] Alicia-I am ok-I don't know that I should be here since I have become incredibly lazy
21:09:39 [pixie] Great sheryl
21:09:52 [Sheryl] I'm hoping the weather gets better here real soon, I do so much better then
21:10:01 [pixie] You my dear Esmerelda are not lazy!
21:10:04 [Esmerelda] Pixie, at least you have already done it once! I have totally let myself go :-(
21:10:32 [Sheryl] Esmerelda, there is NO way you are worse than I
21:10:42 [pixie] Not to worry Esmerelda you have other things to deal with, we still love you!
21:10:52 [AliciaG] You aren't lazy. Motivation is why we're all here 
21:11:10 [Sheryl] I like that thought Alicia
21:11:10 [Esmerelda] Sheryl....I just hate myself for letting myself go so bad
21:11:17 [AliciaG] what is the marathon video, pixie?
21:11:44 [Esmerelda] I am motivated to get better though-my ankles have started hurting, my lupus was SO much better in control when I was exercising regularly
21:11:51 [pixie] It's a video I purchased of the marathon and they add you finishing at the end, I HAD to have it!
21:11:53 [Sheryl] Yes but Es, you'vbe done so good. We all need a little break every once in a while. You'll get back to it again, I'm sure
21:12:22 [Esmerelda] I found my walk away the pounds tape the other day-but that was all I accomplished-finding it, lol
21:12:23 [Sheryl] I'd love to see it Pixie
21:12:40 [AliciaG] slow and steady is the way, Susan
21:12:42 [Esmerelda] oh pixie! That sounds GREAT!!!! I will certainly buy one when I finally run one!
21:12:48 [pixie] You got me motivated last year Esmerelda.
21:12:57 [AliciaG] Just out takes from the marathon. Footage of different sections?
21:13:05 [Sheryl] We ahve a new gym center in our basement, and I've not used it once, but I look at it when I go down to do laundry
21:13:11 [Esmerelda] Pixie-I am so incredibly proud of you.
21:13:26 [pixie] I am going to have my son put it on a DVD and I'll send you one
21:13:28 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-I think we tie ;-)
21:13:34 [Sheryl] oh thank you
21:13:39 [AliciaG] have you ever been a regular excersisor (sp?) Sheryl?
21:13:54 [Sheryl] No Alicia
21:14:02 [AliciaG] cool, barbara! I loved the postcard marking the route
21:14:04 [pixie] Thanks Esmerelda, I surprised myself
21:14:18 [Esmerelda] I am going to HAVE to find something I can do at home-at least for the next several months.
21:14:20 [AliciaG] I haven't either. I've been a slug until lately.
21:14:29 [pixie] It's 25 minutes showing and explaining the marathon
21:14:46 [Sheryl] You know the funny thing. My sister Sandy is a perfect size 6. Well, she complained yesterday that she ahs been riding her excerciser bike for 20 minutes everyday for the past three weeks, and has not lost any weight. I almost threw my cake at her
21:14:47 [Esmerelda] Pixie-you didn't surprise me at all-I KNEW you could and would do it!
21:15:13 [AliciaG] ROFLMAO! Sheryl!
21:15:23 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-I HATE skinny people.....well maybe not hate, maybe dislike is a better word.
21:15:25 [Sheryl] Yes, Pixie, my postcard is on my fridge. I look at it all teh time
21:15:40 [AliciaG] I'd love to get a copy of that too, pixie, if it's not too hard
21:15:46 [pixie] I was so afraid I couldn't finish and you would all be disappointed. Silly huh?
21:15:54 [Esmerelda] Horrible thing is-I actually used to be slim. I ran track and swam on the swim team when in high school
21:16:11 [AliciaG] we were just proud of you for trying
21:16:22 [Esmerelda] Pixie-how could we be disappointed? You had the guts to try-that is more than we did!
21:16:23 [Sheryl] I did not gain weight until I had the boys, now I can't seem to lose it
21:16:37 [Esmerelda] but I knew you would finish :-)
21:16:39 [AliciaG] I've never been an athlete. I was in fairly decent shape one summer when I water skied alot, but that's about it.
21:16:55 [Sheryl] Yes, Pixie, I was so impressed that you would even sign up. You motivated me to think I might be able to do this.
21:16:58 [AliciaG] Very cool thing happened to me yesterday...
21:17:00 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-I had 102 foster kids-I joke that I gained one pound for each child I had
21:17:11 [AliciaG] Hi Ursulinda!
21:17:16 [Sheryl] Hello Linda
21:17:34 [Esmerelda] Hi! You gonna join us for the half marathon?
21:17:35 [AliciaG] a lady in my sunday school class had had surgery. I happened to sit next to her...
21:17:36 [Sheryl] Wow Susan, 102 kids, you are a very patient woman
21:17:42 [Esmerelda] or be the official photographer?g
21:17:43 [ursulinda] oh hello! i'm here!
21:17:43 [pixie] Ursulinda!!!!!! You're awake
21:18:00 [AliciaG] she had surgery to repair a tendon that tore
21:18:13 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-I have NO Patience-just more guts than sense
21:18:31 [AliciaG] I told her I was wanting to be very careful about injuries, that I was training for a 1/2 marathon
21:18:54 [Sheryl] LOL
21:18:59 [AliciaG] I had NO idea, but she said " I was training for the 1/2 marathon in Nashville this month"
21:19:02 [ursulinda] i actually got in here on first try. amazing i'm on the cheerleading squad
21:19:25 [Esmerelda] Alicia-how cool! Did she have some tips for you?
21:19:26 [Sheryl] Hello Dr Dolphin
21:19:28 [DrDolphin] Did I get in???
21:19:32 [Esmerelda] Hi DrDolphin
21:19:35 [pixie] Welcome DrDolphin thanks for coming
21:19:40 [AliciaG] turns out she's done several 1/2 marathons walking. She's with Team in Training, and was a mentor for the Music City Marathon
21:19:44 [Sheryl] Cool Alicia
21:19:48 [pixie] DrDolphin is our resident expert
21:19:49 [AliciaG] Hi Dr. Dolphin
21:20:05 [Esmerelda] Alicia-Team in Training is a great program
21:20:07 [DrDolphin] I almost completely forgot - then the power went out - so I am on battery
21:20:10 [AliciaG] So, it's cool that I now know somebody locally who's
done this
21:20:11 [ursulinda] Dr Dolp you are in
21:20:19 [pixie] Team in Training have so much fun
21:20:32 [AliciaG] that's dedication DrDolphin!
21:20:33 [DrDolphin] I have done the full twice and the half twice
21:20:45 [DrDolphin] registered for the full this year
21:20:46 [Sheryl] Wait, did see photos? OMG, do I ahve to worry tht I won't llok dead on teh photos? I'll be a mess!!! You'll all be scared of me!
21:21:00 [AliciaG] I asked her to call me this week if she felt up to it. I wanted to hear all about her experiences
21:21:02 [Esmerelda] Cool, DrDolphin! Glad you are here to help us
21:21:11 [AliciaG] Woo hoo! What a goal
21:21:38 [pixie] She should motivate you Alicia
21:21:43 [DrDolphin] You will look so happy when you cross that line and get your medal
21:21:48 [Esmerelda] LOL-Sheryl. Even if we were scared, we would be too tired to run away
21:21:55 [DrDolphin] you won't care what you look like
21:21:57 [Sheryl] I'm hoping that we can all do this and make it a yearly thing
21:21:58 [pixie] DRD isn't this a fun race?
21:22:02 [ursulinda] will only photograph if you want proof you did it. do not want to offend anyone. Already in trouble with nearest and dearest for my every ready camera:-(
21:22:32 [DrDolphin] pixie - it really is a fun race
21:22:32 [pixie] I hate having my picture taken but I loved having it done that day
21:22:54 [DrDolphin] it was my 2nd marathon - and one I keep doing over and over again
21:22:59 [Sheryl] Oh Linda, jsut teasing, I don't look good when I try. 
21:23:19 [DrDolphin] so is everyone doing the half?
21:23:19 [pixie] I so admire those that do the whole marathon
21:23:30 [AliciaG] Is it the atmosphere that is fun, or just the scenic route?
21:23:44 [pixie] We are all doing the half. About 10 of us
21:23:54 [Sheryl] me too pixie
21:23:56 [ursulinda] You will all be beautiful because you will have the glow of achievement
21:24:08 [pixie] atmosphere is the best, not always scenic
21:24:08 [DrDolphin] the atmosphere is fun - running through EPCOT in the dark - running up to Cindy's castle
21:24:20 [DrDolphin] high fiving characters on the road
21:24:37 [pixie] The castle was awesome
21:24:43 [ursulinda] with the crowd screaming and cheering and clapping as they stand their freezing
21:24:49 [Esmerelda] you mean we are actually going to have energy to high five people?
21:24:50 [Sheryl] I prsonally think jsut doing it with our group will be what pulls me through
21:24:53 [DrDolphin] be prepared for stretches without characters on the highway
21:25:19 [pixie] I found that those that had their name on their shirt got cheered on by name...cool
21:25:24 [DrDolphin] but thats why you run with friends - talk the morning away -- next thing you know MK
21:25:25 [AliciaG] woo hoo! that sounds awesome!
21:25:44 [DrDolphin] definately put your name on your shirt!!!
21:25:46 [Sheryl] Bookwood had an idea for a logo for us all, maybe we can do our names too
21:25:54 [AliciaG] yea, we'll all be there for each other. It'll make the time fly
21:25:54 [Esmerelda] are we going to all wear tagrel shirts?
21:26:18 [ursulinda] Logo Shirts - YEAAAAAa - can i be team mom?
21:26:20 [Esmerelda] you mean you can actually talk while you run? Wow-I'm impressed :-)
21:26:25 [DrDolphin] recommendation -- if they are cotton shirts - wear them on top of a coolmax shirt
21:26:27 [Sheryl] ROFL can see it now, my shirt will say Sheryl and my inlaws will ask...who is that! ROFL
21:26:31 [AliciaG] Hi Faline! Good to see you
21:26:36 [Esmerelda] Hi Faline!
21:26:43 [DrDolphin] chaffing is not fun at all - NO COTTON!!
21:26:46 [pixie] You are part of our team ursulinda
21:26:47 [AliciaG] go for it, Linda! We'll need you
21:26:50 [Sheryl] Hello Faline
21:27:05 [DrDolphin] Hi Faline
21:27:06 [Esmerelda] thanks for the advice, DrDolphin
21:27:06 [pixie] Faline!!!!! Hi
21:27:20 [AliciaG] good point Dr.D What tdo you recommend as far as clothing for this marathon?
21:27:20 [Sheryl] Yes, we can make Linda...*Team Mom*
21:27:40 [DrDolphin] DO you have any specific questions about the race or pre-race??
21:27:45 [pixie] I was so lucky, no chaffing and no blisters
21:27:47 [AliciaG] We can get used to calling you Sherry if it helps
21:28:00 [Esmerelda] Linda makes a great Mom :-)
21:28:04 [DrDolphin] It really depends on weather - remember that the race starts at 6 am
21:28:10 [Sheryl] I never thought about Chafing
21:28:13 [pixie] I should be team MOM, I'm old!
21:28:17 [ursulinda] Dr. D, I will get with you later to see what i should prepare with besides bandaids, and tape.
21:28:24 [DrDolphin] but you will be in the EPCOT parking lot around 4 am
21:28:33 [AliciaG] I want to know how you know if you are on the right pace. I'm figuring if we are walking we'll want to know that we aren't going to be picked up by the truck, lol
21:28:36 [Esmerelda] oh gosh-I remember a few years ago when it was 33 degrees. BBbrrrrrr!
21:28:50 [DrDolphin] so bring layers that you can throw away -- goodwill/walmart oversize sweats
21:28:57 [Esmerelda] Pixie-you are NOT old!
21:29:05 [pixie] It was VERY cold and windy last year
21:29:13 [Sheryl] Pixie, you mmove better thatn I
21:29:23 [DrDolphin] cut the ankles so you can get them over the shoes without having to take your shoes off
21:29:29 [ursulinda] Pix, i am older than you. forgedaboudit you are running
21:29:29 [pixie] I'm probably the oldest member here
21:29:36 [Sheryl] so Dr, you jsut throw your clothes roadside?
21:29:51 [DrDolphin] also think about hats and gloves -- old socks make great gloves
21:30:05 [Sheryl] then don't buy nice clothing for it huh?
21:30:13 [ursulinda] space blanket?
21:30:13 [DrDolphin] Sheryl - after I got warm enough (after the sun came up) yes
21:30:17 [pixie] I cut lits up the side of my pants and they came off easy
21:30:22 [AliciaG] good idea! My ears hurt when it's cold and windy.
21:30:29 [pixie] Old stuff to throw away sheryl
21:30:31 [DrDolphin] Don't buy nice clothing to wear on top of your running clothes
21:30:55 [AliciaG] did y'all wear long or short sleeve drymax shirts?
21:31:00 [Sheryl] ok, so what are you suggesting we wear...inlayers please
21:31:04 [DrDolphin] Make sure that you DO NOT RUN IN ANYTHING YOU HAVE NOT TRAINED IN
21:31:08 [pixie] I set my gloves down in the porta potty and had to leave them behind. gross
21:31:18 [Sheryl] I'm clueless, sorry
21:31:26 [DrDolphin] that means shirts, tights, socks shorts, tops, shoes- etc
21:31:33 [pixie] I also cut a sweatshirt up the front
21:32:03 [Sheryl] now by the end of the race are you in shorts?
21:32:24 [pixie] I finished in shorts and a tee.
21:32:24 [DrDolphin] I suggest from inside out -- sports bra, singlet, coolmax t-shirt or long sleeve (bring both and choose race morning) and then a sweatshirt
21:32:43 [DrDolphin] I prefer to run in tights or capris - so I stay in those
21:32:57 [DrDolphin] my running buddy wears shorts the whole time
21:33:07 [Sheryl] okay is coolmax, like the armour for kids football...kind of spanexy
21:33:18 [pixie] Not me in tights thank you
21:33:20 [DrDolphin] I also find I chaffe a lot less in tights/capris
21:33:26 [Faline] Hi everyone, sorry I'm so late. I had a hard time getting in here.
21:33:37 [AliciaG] Hi Faline!
21:33:39 [Esmerelda] Pixie-how many people are signed up from this site?
21:33:41 [pixie] Gald you made it faline
21:33:51 [Sheryl] Good to see you Faline
21:33:52 [pixie] About 10
21:33:57 [AliciaG] what is a singlet?
21:33:58 [DrDolphin] coolmax is a synthetic fabric (remember no cotton - cotton bad) also called driweave and other names
21:34:10 [Sheryl] I see the marathon is still open with room for more
21:34:26 [ursulinda] We're what . . .10 months out, what is the drill for this month
21:34:35 [Sheryl] ok thanks Dr
21:34:37 [DrDolphin] you can find it at all running stores - I even found it at walmart
21:34:46 [Esmerelda] I think I will save the marathon for my 40's
21:35:00 [pixie] I got a new sports bra from Enell. It's for chesty gals. I haven't tried it yet but it's supposed to prevent bounce
21:35:25 [Sheryl] Oh, my goodness I will need to find that store barbara
21:35:32 [DrDolphin] I also find that 2 regular sports bras together can help with bounce
21:35:38 [Esmerelda] pixie-that is my only holdover from my exercise days-I ONLY wear sport bras now
21:35:39 [pixie] We want you there if you can make it Esmerelda
21:35:50 [AliciaG] my sports bra is like a bustier, they ain't goin' nowhere, lol
21:36:03 [Sheryl] if not tiny Alicia better not walk necxt to me, I'll hurt her wiht my swinging chest
21:36:10 [pixie] I got mine on ebay for 30.00
21:36:15 [Esmerelda] AliciaG, mine too!
21:36:16 [ursulinda] I think Esmerelda is saying she'll do the FULL marathon in her 40's, right?
21:36:40 [AliciaG] ROFL! Sheryl!
21:36:52 [Esmerelda] Pixie-well I'm 100% sure I won't make it if I don't plan for it. Time will tell what my life will be like by then. Hopefully lots more calm!
21:36:59 [AliciaG] Great goal, Susan.
21:37:02 [Sheryl] Es, when will you be 40?
21:37:17 [pixie] I have a walking tape, Let Your Feet walk to the Beat that has a 16 minute pace. I would be glad to copy it if anyone wants one.
21:37:25 [AliciaG] How are things going for you, Faline? Are you walking any yet?
21:37:25 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-in 2005! but not until after the next marathon
21:37:39 [Esmerelda] so it looks like I will have 10 years to prepare for it ;-)
21:37:51 [DrDolphin] I found these things addictive
21:37:59 [AliciaG] I'll be 40 next year....hmmmm...
21:38:00 [Sheryl] I'll be 40 in July 2005..maybe 2006 can be our bday gifts?
21:38:08 [DrDolphin] I love to travel and to run - so I combine them
21:38:12 [pixie] Esmerelda, just set your mind to finish and don't worry about time. If you can make it there you will finish
21:38:30 [Sheryl] I'd love one Barbara, will pay for one
21:38:31 [ursulinda] what's addictive? powerful women turning 40?
21:38:33 [Faline] not much alicia but I'm trying, I started up again last week
21:38:39 [AliciaG] I bet, Dr.D...it';s got to be such a great feeling. From what I understand the whole "community" is very supportive and fun
21:38:43 [DrDolphin] What programs is everyone using to train?
21:38:45 [Esmerelda] Alicia and Sheryl-so you were both born in 1965? Mine is in May
21:38:51 [pixie] I'm not addicted, just crazy DrD
21:38:59 [Sheryl] Dr, how in teh world do you go to bed early at WDW wiht the excitement the night before the race?
21:39:19 [DrDolphin] pixie - thats what I said when I started
21:39:21 [AliciaG] Feb. 1965
21:39:33 [DrDolphin] 4 years later I am still here - slow but here
21:39:38 [pixie] I used Bingham for 14 weeks and it worked for me
21:39:38 [Sheryl] I'm July 10, 1965
21:39:40 [Esmerelda] Ooooooh-Alicia is older than me ;-)
21:39:57 [Esmerelda] but Sheryl is younger.....
21:40:02 [AliciaG] dr. D....I'm going by the marathoning for mortals book. I'm just not exactly sure what to do each week before the 14 week period starts
21:40:04 [Sheryl] LOL you're both older than I
21:40:19 [DrDolphin] John's got a good program for beginners
21:40:32 [DrDolphin] pixie - what are you using now?
21:40:33 [ursulinda] you're all the same age from MY ancient perspective.
21:40:41 [Sheryl] I've not really started to train, except to try to eat ehalthy, drink water, and walk
21:40:48 [Esmerelda] I've got all kinds of training programs.....collecting dust in the bookcase
21:40:51 [pixie] DrD I said this last one would be my one and only and then these ladies made me want to join in their fun
21:40:57 [DrDolphin] Alcicia - have you run at all?
21:41:04 [AliciaG] I've been walking 2-3 miles on a track, and doing some time on a stationary bike. How much time/miles should we try for now
21:41:24 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-you are ahead of me. I just walk from my desk chair to the refrigerator and it is only about 6-7 steps
21:41:33 [DrDolphin] Emse - I used Jeff Galloway to finish as my first
21:41:39 [pixie] I'm doing what I did last year, Walk Away the Pounds and walking
21:41:40 [AliciaG] the track I walk on is 13 laps for a mile. I'm running 3 then jogging 1
21:42:05 [Esmerelda] Alicia-that is great!
21:42:15 [DrDolphin] I would recommend 2 or 3 cardio workouts - walking, biking, etc for 3 miles or 45 minutes to start
21:42:17 [Sheryl] I'm afraid if I jog right now, I'd be dead in 1 lap
21:42:38 [DrDolphin] Sheryl - start with walking
21:42:53 [pixie] I find I'm faster walking for some reason
21:43:03 [Sheryl] Do you recommend doing it every day?
21:43:11 [DrDolphin] after you can walk a mile COMFORTABLY - switch it up and walk for 4 minutes - "run" for 1
21:43:21 [Esmerelda] I have No need for Speed. Hal Higdon's How to train, Runner's World Complete Book of Running and Marathoning for Mortals
21:43:24 [DrDolphin] 3 times a week
21:43:27 [AliciaG] I have this pain below my ankle, not my ankle, but like the bones below it. It hurts when I run the first lap, but then it goes away. It also hurts just when I walk around the house a bit. It's probably old age, lol. I guess it's OK if it doesn't continue to hurt when I run. Right?
21:43:34 [ursulinda] Esmerelda, don't you have walk away the pounds, too?
21:44:07 [DrDolphin] Alicia - what type of shoes are you wearing? good running shoes fit to your feet??
21:44:18 [Sheryl] ok, that is very doable..3 times a week. I MUST start again tomorrow
21:44:19 [AliciaG] do you walk/run the marathons, dr.d?
21:44:23 [pixie] Esmerelda got me going with WATP and Bingham. I never would have done it if she hadn't gotten me started
21:44:37 [DrDolphin] Does everyone know what type of feet you have and thus what kind of shoes oyu need?
21:44:38 [AliciaG] I got a professional gait analyisis. Love my shoes!
21:44:40 [Esmerelda] Pixie-how much of it did you run?
21:44:46 [DrDolphin] yes - I run/walk 4/1
21:44:53 [DrDolphin] good alicia!
21:45:03 [Sheryl] NO, actually I jsut got some New Balance at Dicks
21:45:14 [AliciaG] is that minutes? 4/1
21:45:18 [pixie] I mostly walked
21:45:33 [DrDolphin] Sheryl and all the I don't knows -- there is a good website - called http://www.roadrunnersports.com
21:45:46 [DrDolphin] yes that is run 4 minutes walk 1
21:45:55 [ursulinda] Well, you still finished, though pix! That was a terrific achievement if you ask me.
21:45:57 [DrDolphin] on rrs go to the SHOE DOG
21:46:13 [DrDolphin] answer the questions about your feet
21:46:15 [AliciaG] pixie, how did you know you were doing the right pace
21:46:51 [DrDolphin] it will give you info about the type of shoes you need -
21:47:08 [pixie] I didn't know I just listened to other people. I was in a fog!
21:47:09 [Sheryl] ok, thanks DrD
21:47:12 [DrDolphin] alicia - I wear a watch to monitor my pace
21:47:20 [Sheryl] WB Es
21:47:22 [Esmerelda] sorry-I got bounced offline. Pixie, did you do that?
21:47:24 [AliciaG] I think if we can get started doing the 2-3 miles a few times a week, that'll be good for this far out.
21:47:27 [DrDolphin] plus there are mile markers and clocks at each mile
21:47:30 [pixie] This time I will bring a watch
21:47:51 [pixie] LOL Esmerelda, NEVER
21:47:56 [DrDolphin] the only thing to remember is that the clocks start when the gun sounds - not when you start
21:47:59 [Esmerelda] alicia-are you going to bring your kids?
21:48:06 [AliciaG] OK, good! I guess they'll let us know more about the logistical stuff later
21:48:17 [DrDolphin] so you need to note how many minutes pass before you cross the line
21:48:29 [DrDolphin] and subtract
21:48:44 [pixie] DrD, at first I thought I didn't finish in time because of the finish time
21:49:00 [Sheryl] My first pedometer ended up in the toilet... 
now I
need to go buy another
21:49:00 [AliciaG] I'm not sure yet, Esmerelda. 5 in a room is not very conducive to good sleep, lol. It's hard to find sitters for 3 though
21:49:01 [Esmerelda] Pixie and DrDolphin-what are the hardest parts of the race for you?
21:49:03 [DrDolphin] let me guess - clock said mre than 3:30?
21:49:33 [pixie] Oh, DrD I couldn't even think I was so scared. Maybe this time I'll be able to enjoy it more
21:49:35 [Sheryl] Mine will be going Es
21:49:35 [DrDolphin] the hardest part of a half at Disney???
21:49:38 [AliciaG] you mean your personal time doesn't start when the gun does?
21:50:04 [DrDolphin] 1) not WALKING too much the day before the race
21:50:29 [Esmerelda] I think we ought to leave all the kids in some rooms with the husbands and we all share a room ;-)
21:50:39 [DrDolphin] Alicia - you wear a microchip on your shoe - and it tells a computer when YOU cross the start and finish for your exact time
21:50:54 [Esmerelda] Dr Dolphin-yes. Was it the last miles or did you get a 2nd wind?
21:51:07 [Sheryl] thats neat
21:51:07 [DrDolphin] 2) GEtting a really good night sleep FRIDAY before the race - sicne you won't sleep well sat nite
21:51:12 [AliciaG] ah thanks!
21:51:23 [AliciaG] Great idea, Esmerelda!!!
21:51:30 [pixie] The hardest part for me was coming down the main road and headed to the MK. They take you off to the left and through the parking lot instead of straight and that played with my head
21:51:30 [DrDolphin] My worst mile was 11 - after leaving MK - back on the highway
21:51:48 [Esmerelda] Well, I want to either stay at the Polynesian or AKL then :-)
21:52:00 [DrDolphin] knowing there were only 2 more miles....
21:52:09 [ursulinda] And whom did you plan on leaving Elayna with, Esme?
21:52:20 [Sheryl] We're planning on the Poly
21:52:37 [DrDolphin] We are yacht club this year
21:52:40 [pixie] I agree DrD that was very long for me too. I really appreciated the people from the GF cheering, it sure helped
21:52:45 [Esmerelda] Alicia's and Sheryl's husbands. They can draw straws. YOU are going to be watching the race!
21:52:53 [DrDolphin] which is good since I don't have to run by it....
21:53:12 [pixie] Try to stay at the Polynesian esmerelda. Sheryl and I will be there
21:53:12 [ursulinda] Yes m'am.
21:53:15 [Sheryl] Hey my Dh is easy, hewouldn't mind
21:53:18 [AliciaG] 
21:53:32 [Esmerelda] Poly will probably be my first choice-if I can swing it. I will probably not come down until Friday
21:53:55 [AliciaG] so the last two miles are the toughest?
21:53:58 [DisneyPam] Hi everone.
21:53:58 [Sheryl] Hello Pammy
21:54:01 [ursulinda] I'll split the cost with you,Esme. I LOVE the poly
21:54:02 [DrDolphin] ?? Is there a room on the forums where you guys are posting all your running stuff?
21:54:05 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-he wouldn't mind the first time ;-). I might have to use Alicia's husband the 2nd time :-)
21:54:07 [pixie] Hi Pam will you be there to cheer us on?
21:54:14 [ursulinda] hey PAM
21:54:21 [AliciaG] What should we expect soreness/fatigue wise? After all this training is it no problem, or do you have to work thru it?
21:54:26 [Esmerelda] Hi Pammy!
21:54:29 [AliciaG] Hi Pam!
21:54:41 [DrDolphin] Alicia they were for me - no parks to distract me - just highway and golfcourse
21:54:43 [Sheryl] He's a good man Es
21:54:57 [DisneyPam] depending on my work schedule, pixie. And my employer in January (if I switch jobs) and whether they have any restrictions about it...
21:55:08 [DrDolphin] to ease soreness -- after the race - DO NOT SIT/LAY down --
21:55:18 [Sheryl] I'll worn ya all, if I see a snake, I'm running like H*ll
21:55:26 [DrDolphin] WALK!!! You need to move the lactic acid from the legs
21:55:35 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-Elayna LOVES men, she would probably worship the ground your husband walked on
21:55:38 [pixie] No DrD we talk a little on Eye on Health but don't want other members to feel like we are taking over
21:55:40 [ursulinda] well, that will pick up your speed, sheri
21:55:41 [AliciaG] Bwah! You may be the first to finish
21:55:46 [DrDolphin] take a shower in your room and head to EPCOT - where you have to walk
21:56:04 [Sheryl] then she'd be fine with Ter and teh boys
21:56:10 [Esmerelda] DisneyPam> wow-that is a great price. where are they at?
21:56:12 [DrDolphin] wear your t-shirt and medal and walk some more
21:56:18 [ursulinda] Any self respecting snake will be MILEs from all that commotion.
21:56:24 [pixie] I would love to meet you this year
21:56:55 [DrDolphin] on monday your legs will thank you for walking all the extra
21:56:55 [AliciaG] I am loving all these tips! Thank you so much for
sharing your experiences, DrDolphin Very
good, practical stuff
21:57:09 [Esmerelda] uh oh-Sheryl-don't give LindaB and Pam ideas-they might throw snakes at us to motivate us!
21:57:10 [Sheryl] Now what about eating after the race. With my diabetes, I can't go all day wihtout eating
21:57:16 [DisneyPam] Oh and speaking as a former finish-line escort - please try to refrain from puking at the finish line.
21:57:22 [DrDolphin] I enjoy talking running and disney and running at disney!
21:57:27 [Esmerelda] DisneyPam> are you unpacked yet?
21:57:41 [pixie] I wore my medal for days! LOL
21:57:41 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-I won't be able to either
21:57:49 [AliciaG] Yes, nutrition before, during and after?
21:57:56 [DrDolphin] Take it easy on food - nothing too greasy - but I am usually STARVING when I am done
21:58:13 [ursulinda] oh gosh with all these runners I need a KITCHEN
21:58:15 [DrDolphin] Sheryl - what do you plan to eat while running/training?
21:58:33 [ursulinda] I can't stay at the Poly I NEED A KITCHEN
21:58:43 [DrDolphin] During long distance running you need to eat every 45 minutes to an hour
21:58:45 [Sheryl] rihgt now I was thining of packing a few packs of glucose tablets
21:58:51 [AliciaG] We ought to get together all our DVC points and rent a 3 bedroom, lol
21:58:59 [DisneyPam] hey 1/2 marathoners...a good plan for post race is to shower and head over to Epcot to cheer on the last of the full marathoners...they really need to encouragement at that point...
21:59:06 [DrDolphin] good start - what about eatting them with granola or power bar?
21:59:12 [Esmerelda] LindaB is a FABULOUS cook. she might have numerous duties :-)
21:59:16 [AliciaG] Poly in winter just doesn't do it for me. I'm not sure where I'm staying yet
21:59:28 [ursulinda] Yes they have a GREAT kitchen - I made my gang Emeril's lasagne for the last one I went to
21:59:41 [Sheryl] yes, taht could work
21:59:42 [AliciaG] Hi Pam!
21:59:43 [DrDolphin] You can all be waiting for me at Rose and Crown!!!
21:59:48 [pixie] Yeah! Bookwood!!!!
21:59:54 [Sheryl] would it be okay if I have a fanny pack to carry things?
21:59:59 [Sheryl] Hey Pam
22:00:02 [DrDolphin] I will DEFINATELY need some cheering
22:00:05 [Esmerelda] Hi Bookwood
22:00:10 [DisneyPam] I'll volunteer to make my delicious baked ziti for you all.
22:00:17 [pixie] That would be fun Dr.
22:00:32 [AliciaG] That would be awesome, drd!
22:00:33 [DrDolphin] I run with a fanny pack that carries my camera, gel, aleve, cell phone and ltos of other things
22:00:36 [pixie] I had a fanny pack
22:00:38 [ursulinda] Those three bedrooms can sleep 10 or 12 but i'll bet they're booked up now.
22:01:13 [Bookwood] Hi Girls sorry for being slow I was trying to read and type at the same time
22:01:16 [DisneyPam] DrDolphin - 2 years ago after I finished volunteering thats where I went and I spent the better part of an hour cheering on the runners....most of them looked really gratified to have someone rooting for them and it seemed to give them a boost of energy to get up the bridge to France
22:01:17 [Esmerelda] the three bedrooms cost almost 100 points a night on the weekends though
22:01:22 [AliciaG] do y'all suggest the pasta dinner? Is it fun?
22:01:32 [pixie] I carried a gel, power bar banana power drink
22:01:36 [ursulinda] Couldn't possibly be any heavier than that battalion flag that chap was carrying for 26 miles.
22:01:39 [AliciaG] It's OK, Bookwood. Glad you could make it
22:01:45 [Sheryl] I promised th boys we'd stay at the Poly for a short trip, and they are holding me to this
22:01:46 [DrDolphin] I have not done the pasta dinner the last 3 yrs
22:02:10 [DrDolphin] I prefer to eat a balanced, relaxing quiet meal before a race
22:02:18 [pixie] I can't tell you how it lifts you up when someone tells you you're doing great
22:02:22 [Esmerelda] DisneyPam> you are probably lucky that you don't have a place!
22:02:46 [DrDolphin] I did it once- wasn't worth it personally - last year we ate at hollywood and vine, saw fantasmic and went to bed
22:02:53 [pixie] I couldn't eat much the night before
22:02:58 [ursulinda] We stood on our Balcony at the boardwalk and cheered the full marathoners for what seemed like hours.
22:03:02 [AliciaG] where should you go in Epcot to see the runners?
22:03:24 [DrDolphin] Disney Pam - as someone you probaby cheered for -- WE WERE!!
22:03:29 [DisneyPam] oh...and one thing they told us as volunteers...never say "you're almost done" but just tell them "you're doing great, keep it up" or something like that.
22:03:32 [Sheryl] So renting a car is probably the best to do then
22:03:49 [DrDolphin] Alicia - go to England - the gate there is where they enter for the last 1.3 miles
22:03:52 [AliciaG] We all need to eventually plan a time/place to get
togehter for a dinner meet. That would be fun
22:04:12 [pixie] DrD should we start a thread in Eye on Healt for 1/2 marathon questions? I'll ask Tagrel if it's okay
22:04:14 [Sheryl] Yes, I agree Alicia
22:04:15 [Esmerelda] Alicia-can it be somewhere we can eat laying down, lol?
22:04:19 [ursulinda] Transport is a mess on marathon day - i do not see a car helping much
22:04:19 [Bookwood] Sheryl why are you renting a car? for after the marathon?
22:04:34 [DrDolphin] never tell a marathoner at mile 25 they are almost done - I almost slugged a marine once for doing that
22:04:35 [AliciaG]
22:04:37 [Sheryl] ROFL Es, I like your thinkinig
22:04:47 [DisneyPam] I agree Dr. Dolphin...it seems like such a discouraging place in a way - almost done but having to get up that darn bridge to France and still go around the WS....
22:04:55 [DrDolphin] For the spectators - plan on monorailing only
22:05:09 [DrDolphin] cars and busses will be a mess
22:05:11 [Sheryl] Pam, we normally don't rent a car, but I'm thinking it might be better than counting on Dis transportation
22:05:42 [Bookwood] will there be a bus for runners early on race day?
22:05:46 [AliciaG] Will they let us know where/how our family can cheer for us at different points in the race? I'm still unclear how that all works
22:05:47 [DrDolphin] disney transport will be a mess until after the marathon and all roads are reopened - around 1pm
22:06:06 [DisneyPam] good idea, Dr. Dolphin....although if you wait for the 1/2 to be over they've usually cleaned up most of the roads - I had no trouble getting back to the BWV when my shift was done at the 1/2 finish.
22:06:07 [Sheryl] What am I thinking, if we are at Poly, then they can monorail over and we back, but a car would probably be best to get to Epcot then right?
22:06:20 [DrDolphin] In your info booklet - there will be places listed for spectators to see you on the course
22:06:28 [pixie] You will get a packet with your number before the race and it give you information
22:06:36 [DrDolphin] one thing for your family to know is your PACE
22:06:42 [Sheryl] nope, ok, jsut realized can take poly to trans spot, then monorail to Epcot...i think
22:06:42 [ursulinda] Gee the poly is so handy to the monorail to epcot . . .
22:06:54 [DrDolphin] so they can figure out WHEN to be there to see you
22:07:13 [DrDolphin] Sheryl - on race day - park the car - think MONORAIL
22:07:17 [Esmerelda] I wonder if the Poly books up quickly that weekend?
22:07:24 [Bookwood] So if transportation is all messed up after the race what are we supposed to do? is there a lounge or something to hang in or is it get back to your resort as best you can?
22:07:41 [ursulinda] We waited for what seemed like HOURs on race day 2001
22:07:43 [pixie] Bookwood a bus takes you to the Epcot parking lot in the morning or you can take the monorail
22:08:09 [DisneyPam] Bookwoood - after the race you're fine...it is just during the race that it can be a problem.
22:08:10 [DrDolphin] Disney will have busses from the finish to your resort - just realize it may take a bit
22:08:29 [pixie] Polynesian was great i just walked over the bridge to our room
22:08:33 [ursulinda] not for transportation but for our runners to reach us in the Magic Kingdom
22:08:37 [DrDolphin] If a group if taking showers etc and someone has s room a poly - walk across the parking lot from the finish
22:08:39 [AliciaG] dang, y'all are making the Poly sound too good. I was thinking Swan or BW, but now I don't know
22:08:44 [Bookwood] I don't plan on needing transportation during the race- I'll probably be the last one to finish
22:09:07 [DrDolphin] everyone changes there and goes to EPCOT to cheer
22:09:24 [Esmerelda] Alicia-you can stay with LindaB and me-leave your hubby and the kids at boardwalk
22:09:27 [DrDolphin] remember that you will need your park pass to get into EPCOT
22:09:44 [pixie] No you won't bookwood I will but I'll be happy
22:09:45 [Esmerelda] Alicia-and do NOT tell them where you are staying ;-)
22:09:51 [Sheryl] Stop Bookwood, you're doing awesome already
22:10:17 [ursulinda] yeah they did not check our park passes to get into MK at 0:dark30.
22:10:36 [Sheryl] I'll offer our room and my inlaws...you lucky gals get to meet the MIL!!
22:10:42 [AliciaG] LOL, you've got this all planned out, Susan. I like that!
22:10:45 [Bookwood] Maybe we could splurge for the Poly for one-2 nights and spend the rest at a cheaper alternative
22:10:47 [Sheryl] ROFLMAO!!!
22:11:13 [Bookwood] wow someone else says 0 dark 30
22:11:24 [Esmerelda] If I get to do it-I will only stay from Friday to Monday-how long do ya'll plan on staying?
22:11:30 [ursulinda] They're gonna be darn lucky to meet THE powerful women!
22:11:41 [AliciaG] Bookwood, we're doing this together. It'll be like the
Marines...no man left behind
22:11:47 [Sheryl] I was thinking thursday - MOnday
22:12:03 [ursulinda] Thursday to Monday.
22:12:14 [AliciaG] I'm thinking Thurs.-Mon. too
22:12:16 [pixie] We'll be there the week before and the week after. It's our winter vacation
22:12:33 [Bookwood] Esmerelda- I had sorta hoped to go early spend time at my folks in Bonita Springs and hit WDW maybe wednesday or thur. before
22:12:38 [DrDolphin] Friday to Tuesday for us
22:12:39 [Sheryl] Actually Urs, she asked if she could do the marathoin too, until I told her that was fine, but she'd ahve to pay
22:12:39 [AliciaG] Still trying to decide if it'll be just me, John and me, or the whole family of 5
22:12:46 [Esmerelda] Pixie-that is great! It is after our winter vacation is over. I wish it was a week earlier
22:12:53 [pixie] I'll get everything ready for you all when you arrive we can party!
22:13:12 [AliciaG] That is too funny, Sheryl
22:13:16 [ursulinda] Where will you stay, Pixie?
22:13:16 [Sheryl] She was shocked ot ehre it was NOT free
22:13:25 [Esmerelda] Alicia-I probably won't have a choice but to bring my little munchkin
22:13:37 [pixie] Polynesian ursulinda
22:13:55 [AliciaG] Yea, but you've got the team mom and at least two men
to help
22:14:01 [ursulinda] heaven - the polly for two whole weeks.
22:14:07 [Bookwood] Esmerelda- it will be nice to meet your daughter- I hope she can come
22:14:12 [pixie] LOL Sheryl, nothing free at Disney
22:14:21 [Esmerelda] Alicia-if you don't bring your kids-maybe you could room with us-help cut down on the expenses
22:14:25 [DrDolphin] yeah - power's back
22:14:34 [ursulinda] Alicia, have you met Elayna? It will TAKE the team mom and two men to help!!!
22:14:50 [Esmerelda] Bookwood-I really hope I get to come
22:14:52 [Sheryl] oh my goodness, Es my MIL can teach her all about diamonds, jewels, and fur coats...LOL
22:15:04 [pixie] I am so excited to meet you all!!!!!
22:15:09 [AliciaG] Yes, I have Linda. Sounds like a plan Susan
22:15:14 [ursulinda] OYE now THERE's a thought!
22:15:23 [Bookwood] As far as I know it will be just Sarah and myself the other girls will have classes and I never know what Mikes schedule is
22:15:27 [Esmerelda] Elayna is wonderful in small doses. We can set up a schedule ;-)
22:15:58 [Esmerelda] Bookwood-how old is Sarah?
22:15:59 [AliciaG] how old is Sarah?
22:16:08 [ursulinda] oh my gosh! It's worth the cost of the trip just to hang OUT with you all!
22:16:20 [AliciaG] She was doing really well the time I met her.
22:16:22 [pixie] I agree Ursulinda
22:16:28 [Esmerelda] and then afterwards we can have a poll-which was harder-the half marathon or the turn with Elayna ;-)
22:16:39 [Bookwood] 21 right now she'll be 22 by the Marathon she' s lookin' for someone to go to Downtown Disney with
22:16:54 [ursulinda] And the kids will have fun together too. gosh, i hope grandpa doesn't want to come
22:16:59 [AliciaG] It will be awesome just to have the support, and to share this
22:17:08 [Sheryl] Ter just said, one more child is not a problem, and he's in if you need him
22:17:11 [Esmerelda] Alicia-Elayna is absolutely delightful and entertaining quite often.
22:17:17 [pixie] Bookwood my daughter is 27 and AliKat may be there too
22:17:20 [AliciaG] Oh, that'll be fun for her
22:17:28 [ursulinda] yes, she is.
22:17:34 [Bookwood] Bring Grampa and let him babysit (errr I mean kid sit)
22:17:34 [Esmerelda] Sheryl-sounds cool to me!
22:17:38 [AliciaG] is cshore signed up?
22:17:49 [DrDolphin] have you guys thought of creating a yahoo group where you can support each other daily in your training, planning etc?
22:17:52 [ursulinda] yes, she is
22:18:08 [pixie] How do you do that DrD?
22:18:20 [Sheryl] yes, and shes a little worried about being able to do it
22:18:32 [Bookwood] It's good to know there will be some "young Blood" around for her to hang with - after all it's just not right to party too much with your mom LOL
22:18:45 [ursulinda] That girl worries more than me!
22:18:47 [DrDolphin] I can do it - and send you all a message to let you know how to subscribe
22:18:50 [Esmerelda] cshore will do fine as long as we can get her involved with the rest of us
22:18:57 [pixie] That's where I saw you before and recognized you. It was from the Penguin Group\
22:18:57 [AliciaG] that's a neat idea. I'd love to share in the eye on health forum, but I don't want to discourage those who aren't doing this this year
22:19:12 [Sheryl] for some strange reason, I'm not too concerned? Maybe thats wrong, as I usually worry about everything, but even signing up is a huge thing for me
22:19:13 [DrDolphin] anyone interested in me doing it>
22:19:40 [Esmerelda] DrDolphin-I think that is a great idea if you are willing
22:20:03 [AliciaG] I am, DrDolphin.
22:20:09 [Sheryl] yes DrD, I am
22:20:11 [DrDolphin] I will create the yahoogroup and post an notice in eye on health with the details..
22:20:16 [ursulinda] i think if you posted in eye on health it would be encouraging to others to share your struggles and realize you are no different than the rest of us
22:20:31 [Bookwood] you'll have to give me step by step directions on how it works to begin with- I'm very computer illiterate but it sounds like fun
22:20:32 [ursulinda] just working toward a goal
22:20:52 [AliciaG] I think we can all do it!
22:21:40 [ursulinda] My concern is if you leave the tagrel site to do your planning that it will not rally the community as much as it could.
22:21:41 [Sheryl] And will have a good time doing it too!
22:21:57 [AliciaG] I'm feeling and sleeping much better now that I'm 1/2 way regularly excercising. It's actually quite exhilirating. Who'd of thought, lol!
22:22:05 [Bookwood] Hey Pixie in your picture you were wrapped up in a "space blanket" (or at least that's what we used to call them) did you have to bring that or did they give it to you?
22:22:16 [AliciaG] I see your point, ursulinda
22:22:20 [Esmerelda] Alicia-I was much more energetic when I was exercising too
22:22:24 [Sheryl] I know rosebud said she was probably not going to do the race, but was planning on trying to be there for the rest of us
22:23:12 [Sheryl] so there are some who want to particiapte with us, but not do the race
22:23:23 [Bookwood] I find I can go and keep going a long time- but if I sit down it's all over
22:23:34 [Esmerelda] Alicia-we need to meet 1/2 way and do a 10-K for practice
22:23:38 [pixie] Sorry. They gave you the blanket at the finish
22:23:49 [AliciaG] that sounds great, Susan!
22:24:05 [DrDolphin] ok - I created it
22:24:06 [Sheryl] is teh blanket a keepsake?
22:24:18 [pixie] Great point about community Ursulinda. Should we start a thread in Eye on Health and see how it goes?
22:24:18 [AliciaG] The Disney 10K is going on when our family is there for vacation. I have that one in the back of my mind, but I'd love to do another
22:24:20 [DrDolphin] yes it is a space blanket
22:24:41 [ursulinda] I think cheering on and encouraging people makes people feel good and draws a community together even tighter and this particular effort could inspire that.
22:24:53 [Esmerelda] AliciaG-when is the 10-K?
22:25:06 [Sheryl] Hello Sharon
22:25:12 [AliciaG] Sometime between 10-3 and 10-13
22:25:19 [Sheryl] I agre Ursulinda
22:25:20 [AliciaG] Hiya, Sharon!
22:25:24 [DisneyPam] Hey Sharon
22:25:25 [pixie] Sharon, HI!
22:25:31 [Bookwood] The blanket helps you retain the body heat you have so you don't get to cold after you finish and are standing around all sweaty (I mean glowing)
22:25:32 [Esmerelda] Hiya, Sharon
22:25:33 [DrDolphin] to subscribe - send an email to TagrelWDW2005-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
22:25:38 [FLSharon] Hi... manoman, I got tied up...darn darn...
22:25:44 [Esmerelda] Alicia-that would be good timing
22:25:54 [Bookwood] Hi Sharon
22:26:06 [DrDolphin] the 10k is in October
22:26:15 [AliciaG] maybe we could keep the hotel info and stuff on the yahoo board, and general planning on the Tagrel board?
22:26:18 [pixie] Do you all agree this should be a monthly chat for now and more often as we get closer?
22:26:23 [AliciaG] Thanks, Dr. D!
22:26:35 [ursulinda] i've GOT to go to bed. Good night, gang!
22:26:37 [pixie] faline, are you still here?
22:26:44 [Sheryl] Yes Pixie, I think it will keep us all encouraged

22:27:26 [Sheryl] hit the exit up ijn the top right corner
22:27:26 [Bookwood] Thanks DRD, Good night Ursilinda, Yeah I like the idea of a monthly chat

22:28:23 [AliciaG] Yeah Faline! Glad you made it tonight
22:28:26 [pixie] Take your time you can just read for now I just didn't want to ignore you
22:28:32 [FLSharon] ok, can you tell me what DrD gave the email for?
22:28:46 [Bookwood] Howdy Faline
22:29:00 [DrDolphin] I created the yahoogroup - I will post a post in the eye on health forum with the email address for the yahoogroup
22:29:06 [pixie] TagrelWDW2005-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
22:29:28 [Faline] Thanks, I'm glad I came in, by the marathon I should be chatting
22:29:34 [pixie] faline we are just happy you are here
22:29:37 [FLSharon] Pixie, What's it for?
22:29:41 [AliciaG] How is your walking going, Sharon?
22:29:50 [DrDolphin] we are starting a email group for the half marathon/marathon for planning for the race
22:29:51 [Faline] Hi Pam
22:30:13 [pixie] DrDolphin before you post it maybe we should ask Tagrel
22:30:28 [FLSharon] Alicia, Terrible.. I need to get off my behind.. got in big slump....
22:30:42 [Sheryl] same ehre Sharon
22:30:46 [Bookwood] Probably a good idea
22:30:47 [FLSharon] Thanks Dr D...
22:30:51 [DrDolphin] you take the lead pixie - the group is there
22:31:03 [Sheryl] but to be honest after tongihts chat, I'm ready to get going again
22:31:04 [AliciaG] well, your not alone. a lot of us are just getting started, and are taking it slow to start.
22:31:13 [Bookwood] to cold and damp here to be outside today
22:31:31 [FLSharon] I'm not sure what happened, but it did.LOL...
22:31:35 [pixie] I'll PM Tagrel and then PM you if it's okay. It's his site so I don't want to make decisions
22:31:38 [AliciaG] Woo hoo! Maybe we can motivate like you guys do in the daily good habits threads
22:31:45 [DrDolphin] bookwood do you have access to a treadmill or elliptical?
22:31:53 [FLSharon] I just know in order to increase slowly , I need to be out there.. and our weather is perfect for it...
22:32:03 [Bookwood] Pixie what did you decide about Walk AMerica?
22:32:16 [FLSharon] Alicia.. that would be great!!!
22:32:28 [FLSharon] What's walk america??
22:32:36 [pixie] Dr D thank you so much for your help tonight. You have so much great information to share
22:32:54 [Sheryl] Yes, DrD, thanks for the info
22:33:03 [Bookwood] Nope really old treadmill somewhere in the house but it never worked correctly (we got it second hand) I've done all my pre- prep outside so far
22:33:04 [DrDolphin] you're welcome
22:33:11 [AliciaG] I know one thing that has helped me is that we joined the Family Life Center. They have an indoor track, pool, classes and excercise equipment. It's a one stop shop for the walking and cross training.
22:33:12 [DrDolphin] I really enjoyed myseld
22:33:16 [Faline] Sheryl I'm feeling the same way, I can't wait to get started
22:33:27 [pixie] I'm not doing Walk America, long story. I'm going to do a 5K and later a 10K
22:33:33 [DrDolphin] also nice to know that there may be folks cheering for me at the end
22:33:41 [AliciaG] yes, thank you so much. I enjoyed talking with you,
and hearing your tips
22:33:46 [FLSharon] You're right Alicia. That's great..
22:33:47 [Bookwood] sounds good Pixie
22:34:19 [Sheryl] We're doing the JDF walk in May, but I honestly don't even know how long it is
22:34:26 [pixie] DrD we'll be there!
22:34:33 [FLSharon] I've always gone to the Y until foot surgery..I could have gone back 2 months ago... so that's what i need to do..
22:34:35 [AliciaG] I better head out. I'm so looking forward to doing this with you all. It's gonna be fun!
22:34:49 [Sheryl] you bet DrD, we'll be there
22:34:51 [Bookwood] Thanks for all the info too Dr D. I came in late and assume you have done this before- maybe several times???
22:35:02 [pixie] Thanks Alicia, I'll be in touch
22:35:05 [Sheryl] Nite Alicia

22:36:41 [FLSharon] Nite Faline
22:36:57 [pixie] Is it agreed we will meet on the Yahoo to plan hotel info and general info on Eye on Health to start. We'll see how it goes and take it from there
22:37:06 [FLSharon] Sheryl,... me too.. not sure I'd bike 26..
22:37:12 [DrDolphin] I bet you could do 26 miles on a bike
22:37:35 [DrDolphin] Sounds like a plan pixie
22:37:36 [DisneyPam] I could walk 26 miles before I could bike it, lol....
22:37:38 [Sheryl] sounds good Pixie
22:37:44 [Bookwood] Time is going to be my biggest issue during school- if I have something at night by the time I get a work out in and clean up I'm late for whatever it was LOL
22:37:45 [pixie] No way could I do 26.2 I have so much respect for those runners
22:37:47 [DisneyPam] me and bikes do not get along.
22:37:52 [FLSharon] Well, my fanny will be out in the am again. I love the idea of a thread in the health section.
22:38:05 [DrDolphin] me too pam - my butt gets too sore on the bike
22:38:16 [Bookwood] How about roller blades- that sounds sorta fun
22:38:21 [Sheryl] LOL Pam
22:38:28 [pixie] Thank you for setting it up DrD.
22:38:31 [DisneyPam] DrDolphin...where r u from??
22:38:38 [DrDolphin] I will be dragging my carcass across the line after 26.2 that day
22:38:41 [DisneyPam] Fun but dangerous, Bookwood...
22:38:49 [DrDolphin] live in Jacksonville, FL
22:38:58 [Bookwood] I have always been facinated by the tri-athalons- I'd have to do a micro-mini one though
22:39:06 [DisneyPam] oh...so you're practically a neighbor. LOL
22:39:06 [DrDolphin] moved here from DC - where I lived for work - family in NM
22:39:18 [DrDolphin] where are you pam
22:39:34 [FLSharon] Dr Dr..another Floridian!!
22:39:41 [pixie] Okay gang are we ready to get this going???
22:39:55 [Sheryl] I'm hoping to meet both Pams this July at Disney
22:40:04 [Bookwood] once you get going on blades the only problem is stopping
22:40:13 [DisneyPam] I'm in Orlando...less than 2 miles from Sea World...maybe 5 from the Boardwalk.
22:40:19 [Sheryl] You Bet Pixie
22:40:25 [pixie] Bookwood did you get the shirt design?
22:40:45 [FLSharon] Pixie, Yep gonna roll!!
22:41:09 [pixie] We are going to have so much fun and we'll feel great too
22:41:47 [Sheryl] I can't wait to tell all teh folks that think I can't do this, that I did it!
22:42:02 [Bookwood] I made on e up but then started second guessing myself about using a running Mickey I found on line- but the general idea is a running Mickey with saying "Just for the Health of it" arched over his head then "Healthinators Tagrel.com" under his feet
22:42:05 [FLSharon] Are you guys getting the emails from disney?
22:42:12 [Sheryl] I've ahd more people say to me...are you serious? or You're kidding right?
22:42:22 [DrDolphin] Sheryl I wore my medal for 4 days straight
22:42:30 [DisneyPam] we're gonna call u speedracer, Sheryl.
22:42:33 [DrDolphin] sharon - from the race folks? Yes
22:42:46 [Bookwood] I have something done on my Print Artist- but dont' know how to export it to the internet- we didn't have time yesterday for Becky to help me
22:42:55 [Sheryl] LOl thanks DisPam
22:43:07 [Sheryl] Sharon, I did not get it
22:43:23 [FLSharon] DrD, Yes a reminder that we have a time limit...LOL...
22:43:42 [DrDolphin] they like to point that out....
22:43:43 [Sheryl] Pixie and DrD, suggested we put our names on it for when we cross the finsih line
22:43:50 [Bookwood] I got one with some not very discounted prices quite a while ago- but that's all
22:44:05 [pixie] Don't let that time limit get you worried, it terrfied me
22:44:25 [Bookwood] What are we putting our names on?
22:44:32 [Sheryl] the shirts
22:44:37 [DrDolphin] no need to worry about it at all.
22:44:59 [FLSharon] Sheryl, did you give them an email when you signed up?
22:45:00 [Bookwood] What shirts?
22:45:09 [Sheryl] now what if we don't make it, do you still get a medal?
22:45:11 [pixie] Sheryl, I told everyone I was going to do the 1/2 and then I felt I needed to prove I could do it. It worked
22:45:32 [Sheryl] yes Sharon, and they reassured me that I am registered
22:45:50 [Bookwood] Sheryl we'll be fine finishing together
22:46:00 [DrDolphin] well - I am going to head to bed - I am TIRED.... be sure to keep me in the loop
22:46:16 [Sheryl] nite DrD, tahnks
22:46:17 [Bookwood] Night Doc
22:46:18 [pixie] I was told that if they picked you up you got a participant medal. I never saw any so I think you get a regular one.
22:46:48 [Sheryl] Bookwood, the shirts we make up. It was suggested we put our names on it for when we cross the finsih line
22:46:48 [FLSharon] Pixie, I'm like you said, I want to finish.
22:46:56 [pixie] Thanks so much DrD we'll be sure to keep you informed. I'll PM you after I PM Tagrel
22:47:19 [FLSharon] Nite Dr D... Thanks
22:47:37 [Sheryl] Oh I want to finish, its my plan...LOl jsut thinking if I don't I don't want to be bood
22:47:45 [pixie] Sharon, it's so weird, I really becomes more about finishing
22:47:48 [Bookwood] OK I sorta thought maybe the back would be a good spot for names ect
22:48:04 [Sheryl] sounds good bookwood
22:48:31 [FLSharon] Sheryl, there's no booing... besides, you'll be just fine!!!
22:48:33 [DisneyPam] well...I'm off...happy training folks...g'nite
22:48:44 [Bookwood] or we could flip flop and put names on the front and other stuff on the back- I hav ea tendancy to wipe sweat on my front shirt tail though lOL
22:48:47 [Sheryl] Nite DisPam
22:48:49 [pixie] At first I only wanted the medal and didn't care how I got it. LOL That changed and what a great feeling
22:49:29 [Sheryl] How's this, if I need the cart, I'll alute you all as I pass? ROFL
22:49:43 [Sheryl] salute
22:49:44 [Bookwood] I'm not worring about time as long as I finish before the clock expires
22:50:00 [FLSharon] Bookwood, Me too...
22:50:06 [pixie] Stop that Sheryl! You're going to do it.
22:50:21 [Sheryl] Heck, i jsut want to finish

22:50:43 [Sheryl] ROFL
22:50:56 [Bookwood] We can take turns LOL
22:51:02 [pixie] I really think if you just concentrate on finishing and not the time it's better. After all we aren't going to win!
22:51:20 [FLSharon] Ok gang, I gotta go. so I can get my behind up and run in the morning... So can we post on the health section??
22:51:32 [Sheryl] Oh goodness winning never even came to mind
22:51:38 [Bookwood] Sure we are- if we finish we win- it' sall the way you look at it!!
22:51:45 [Sheryl] Nite HSaron

22:53:10 [FLSharon] Oh wait,, Pixie..what's that tape??

22:55:12 [pixie] I found it on ebay and it's hard to get. PM me your address and I'd be glad to send you a copy
22:55:35 [Bookwood] I find I run more smoothly with music maybe I'll tape my favorites- the CD player is awkward
22:55:44 [FLSharon] Thanks, Pixie, I will appreciate it..now i'm really going to bed...
22:55:50 [pixie] Bookwood and Sharon PM your address. Do you both have tape players?
