Sorry! I can't participate his year. I just had a baby. But, I have three friends who are traveling from St. Louis to run it. Don't worry. They aren't doing it for the competition, either. They just want to do it for the fun. Good Luck!

Y'all are awesome! I have been planning this since the DL half....I am a great 5k runner.....just thinking of this as 4-1/2 5k's! Training is slow, knee and ankle problems are slowing me down....hopefully the physical therapy will help! I am bound and determined to finish this race....ok, truth be told, I want that medal!!!!!!!!! Saw it at the DL half..incredible...nice formidable tiara with some fancy bling. Ahhh...
After that, we board the Wonder for a 4 nite cruise to the Nassau and then back to WDW for 4 days....Gary and Glo are meeting us there as well as Deb!!! What a dream come true!
Your support, even as this thread just begins is amazing and VERY encouraging. Please keep it up!!!

Thanks, Mari


I'll need all the pixie dust I can get!

Heal fast!! I know how bad you must want to get running again because I had an accident last June and I am just now starting to run again. I'm up to a whopping half mile now (whoop-tee-doo ) but considering I was in a wheelchair in September for our Disney trip, I guess that's good progress, eh?

Dang, Girl....finally someone who can top my injuries! They are killing me in Physical Therapy, but I will do it!! altho, today I think I will keep it quiet and let my legs rest today and tomorrow. All I have to say is he better let me run by next weekend, the Surf City 1/2 marathon is then...I'll do the 5k, but I want to run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll see what happens. Much pixie dust to you, too. Look where you have come.... from a w/c in Sept, to running a 1/2 mile. Doing great!
More pixie dust to you

Good luck in the Surf City 5K!

Thanks for all the pixie dust. I have been chomping at the bit to get back to running at least a mile but my body just isn't ready for it yet. I get to the half mile point on my treadmill and my head, legs, heart & lungs are saying I can do another quarter mile, but my pelvis starts saying nah, not yet. I want to get to the point where I can run at least a mile by the time the snow melts off the streets and I can get to running outdoors again!

I'm figuring out if I walk, run, or both on the 5K. Perhaps just walk with bouts of running....like I plan to run the 1/2. Sounds 'bout right! So far, the weather is projected as good.....last year it rained cats, dogs, elephants and rhinos!!!! We were soaked to the core. No fun at all!
