I talked to Dave this afternoon and he said he wants to do the 5k too. I told him he had to wear something sparkly. He did not agree yet but he did say he would wear a tiara.

I'm running the half! I'm so excited! Now, I just have to figure out what I'm going to run in.


Eta: didn't see Jen's post! Woot SES 5k!

Alicia are you doing the half of the 5K?

As for what we are going to wear... I see tanks embellished with tons of rhinetsones - I just hope we aren't weighed down by all the bling

Have a backup shirt because it was cold that morning of the 5K. People were complaining about it. The 5K was real early in the morning. It went through the MK.

Oh really? We've been there a few times during late sept/early Oct. and it has been H-O-T!!! We will have to be prepared for all situations!!

Has anyone followed any of the online 1/2 marathon training routines? there are so many different approaches and I am trying to figure out where to begin.

[Renysmom]

Got back into it today, ate a light lunch at my desk and then headed to the gym for an hour. I took it really slow as I am still slightly fighting the remains of the cruise crud and I don't want it to return but it felt so good to get back on the treadmill and work up a sweat.

Have a way to go to get my stamina back to where it was precruise/vacation but I am ready to do the work and so glad you all are here to hold me accountable.

I am a maybe on the 5K - let me see how my knee does in the next few weeks as I get back into my exercise routine now that I am back to work.

Hal Higdon has as good one that I am doing right now. Half Marathon Training with Hal Higdon

If anyone is doing the half relay, Hal Higdon also has a 15k training plan which is great for the 8.6 mile leg.

I randomly (okay, somewhat purposefully) asked DH today if he would mind if I went down for the wine and dine again this year...but solo. He said, "I guess that would be okay." I will have to test the waters again, but I am really kind of wondering if I can swing it! I am doing a half in May, so I am not worried about the run, but shoot, I would throw a fit worthy of my 3 year old if DH went to WDW without me....I thought DH would do the same...I will have to seriously discuss this one

Count Jennifer (TXTaylors5) and I in! We have starting trianing for the 5K and, although we have a lot of work to do, we are super excited about doing this! Now to book the hotel, airfare, and babysitter.
