Safe travels to everyone leaving today and tomorrow! Krista and I will be into MCO at 9:45am Friday.
See you all at the POP!

You and Krista will be on the same flight as my cousin Melinda and her husband Mike! Safe travels!

Just 2 more sleeps for me and I can't get to sleep yet! Arrrrgh!

Safe traveling for those on their way.

 

[Kristi1357]

Ok guys, if it ain't packed now...

We are off first thing in the morning. Going to sleep now.
Safe travels everyone and I hope we find some of you at tomorrow's Expo!

Oh, and I found 2 of Carrie's clappers from last year and the big light up one that I got this summer. The 5 cowbells are packed as well.

I also have about 10 people set up for text message notification - yippee!

Oh geez! I just remembered that I forgot my 'Carrie Sponge!'
Looking at the forecast, I might be wanting/needing that.

Hi Guys

OK...total drive-by as I leave tomorrow morning and I'm still packing. Yikes!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I'm only going to Florida and not some remote desert island LOL! If I forget something (assuming it's NOT my running shoes....I'm pretty sure I can get it in Florida).

I'm super excited....kind of nervous.....totally disorganized....feeling undertrained....and overfed....and completely out of my mind. Anyone else feel the same way???

I just want to thank you all for being a constant source of inspiration. I look forward to meeting many of you both at the Pop Meet and on the course perhaps . I wish all of you the very best of luck...and of course GOOD HEALTH during the race weekend. Please travel safely!!!

I will be looking...or should I say LISTENING... for the Wish Cow Bell Choir. You guys are going to be a God send along the course. Thanks SO MUCH in advance.

Soooo I've been in the mega BMZ....life totally messed with me all day. I just need to get outta' here. Tomorrow morning my friends...and I'm heading to the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH! Yay!!!!

Take care everyone!!!

 

[Valentine]

WOW.. Well.. I am comforted to see that I was not the only B....on wheels today. I was soooooooooooo cranky.. I have no idea why as I am really happy!??!?!?!?! So.. who knows.. But I had NO patience today at work... everyone was getting on my last nerve. Oh Well.. I will try to be super nice tomorrow for the time that I am there... I will try really hard!!!

Well, I just finished packing.. it is 1:44 am.. and I have to get up in a few hours to do some last minute stuff.. garbage, cats, etc... and then head to work till 2ish.. then off to the airport... I am on Jet Blue 4:50 pm flight out of JFK... anyone with me? Angie.. I will come by and say hi at the expo for sure!! Oh.. and I got your Bodyglide

Well... Night all... and I will see you all shortly!!

I can’t believe that marathon weekend is here! We are getting ready to head to the airport in a few.

Safe Travels! See you all in WDW.

To quote one of my favorite commercials “I’M TOO EXCITED TO SLEEP!!!!"

 

[nucpharm29]

I'm leavin' on a jet plane! WooHoo we're out the door--see ya'll later today/tomorrow!

 

[keenercam]

Good morning, all! Woohoo!! Last day of work (in the office, at least. I'll be working all weekend and next week on some pesky cases. YUCK!) BUT I'll be in my HAPPY PLACE!

boarding passes printed, digital camera card cleaned off for LOTS of WISHer pix, shuffle charged, ipod video loaded & charged. Packed the coffee and travel cups last night. I figure that and my running stuff and I'm SET!

Actually, tons of stuff to get through today, so I wont' be here much. WISHing all of you who will be phsyicallly with us this weekend happy, uneventful travels! See you tomorrow afternoon! To all of you with us in spirit, thank you! And WISHing you a wonderful weekend.

Anyone else feel like running around in circles screaming and waving their hands?

I'm hoping my patients don't expect me to be coherent and insightful today

Safe travels to everyone! We're leaving tomorrow, looking at alternate routes in case I4 is still closed.

Mel - *Raising my hand*

Been awake since 2. FInally just got up adn mostly finished packing at 4:30 Still some minor stuff to finish tonight.

DId my 30 min last night. Woo hoo! Felt good, which is goo because Monday was as stonker. 30 min more tonight. NOt really training, but still....

Jackie - If your brain's on your carry-on, is it in a ziploc?

HOw am I goign to get anythign done today when I wasn't sure what I was doing when I still had my brain????

 

[HMHunters]

Hi all!

Mel - I'm with ya!

I've been up since 5; at least I'm getting used to getting up earlier! I have to go waste a few hours at work this morning before I can finish getting ready.

Kids were supposed to stay with my dad, but he has to go out of town at the last minute so I spent last evening scrambling to arrange child/dog care for 6 days. We will divide and conquer; each one is going to a different household. At least it kept my mind off the marathon!

I'm very envious of all of you already on your way or even at WDW already! I WISH we could have made it a longer trip and gone up today. I'd love to get to the expo on the first day!

Kudos to those of you who got in some training this week; I've taken a major taper. Perhaps if I were still doing any running taper madness would not be quite so severe!

24 HOURS FROM NOW I'LL BE ON A PLANE HEADED FOR MCO!!!

[wtpclc]

It's so funny that so many are llamenting that they can't be at the expo today, when I am thrilled to death that I don't have to wait until Saturday fro teh first time! Woo hoo!

Renee - lol. "waste time at work"

SAfe travels everyone! Ugh, hearing about that accident scared the crud out of me!!!

Mel,

Tracy and I are going to try and leave at noon today. I'm planning on heading East on 64 to Avon Park, then North on 27. It looks like it will add about 20 miles to the trip.

Drive safe,

Chester

 

[KelNottAt]

Just one more day.
Just one more day.
Just one more day.

I keep telling myself that I WILL get through work today. I WILL remain healthy (flu all over the office). And I WILL get a good night's sleep.

Then, Friday afternoon, we're off! Oh, I can't wait.

Counting down....

Thanks for the tip on an alternate route. I am leaving from Tampa today (where I work) but DH and DS's are leaving from Bradenton, Maybe I will tell them to go that way.

Angie

If you're leaving during the rush hour, you will probably have a long trip ahead of you. I'm not sure how they are routing the I-4 commuters, but chances are things are going to be backed up. At least the fog won't be a problem.

Please be extra careful.

Should we have **Big Vic** put out an APB to all WISHers at WDW. Do you think the brains could have escaped to the Great Movie Ride at MGM to hang with Dorothy, Scarecrow and company. For your sakes, I truly hope they don't end up on the side of the road with those socks that escape the dryer, but don't make it to sock heaven. Maybe the **Great and Powerful Panda** will be able to help you find them. Good Luck.

Im home on this crummy laptop today just checking in quick as I have 847 things to do before we leave in the am tommorrow. Today is a much better day and yes, Mel, I Do feel like running in circles with my hands in the air! I can't wait to get going now! These last hours are the worst!

13.1 miles...here I come! ​
