What No Disney Till Jan. 2010??? UpDated!!!

Yep the tittle is right. The original plan was to go to Disney in October to rerun TOT 13k, but that has changed.

I have been watching and the Goofy is still open, and I have also noticed so is the full Here I sit on the fence again. To Goofy or Not to Goofy. I want to Goofy 39.3 miles . Then I will not been out there cheering everyone one on in the half. It's such a heavy and hard decision to make. Like Iron.
What would you do?? Man,this is a tuff one to make.



So for the last 2 weeks I have been sick. I was on meds. and everything. I did my second Duathlon sick. I thought during the biking park that I was going to loose it. I was was only off by 5 minutes. And I am now finally starting to feel better,a bit more solid.

SO staring on Monday I will be starting a new more intensive training program with my trainer. Endurance and Distance. What do you think sound like a good plan?? It's going to be Hard and but it will make me strong like Iron. No excuses. I can not miss a one workout. No excuses!!!

Have you figured it out yet???

It's killing me!!!!
Holy Cats!! I have been waiting to say something now for 2 weeks!!! I had to brain storm with my trainer before I made it official. I am going to do a 1/2 Iron Man Duathlon

It's November 8th. 4 months away. I have to maintain my times or I will get swept. Like Disney.
It is official. I will registered tomorrow for it.


Here is a picture of the Causeway that is in the next race. Yes this thing. Going to go ride it. And I will post the map of it later.

I have been slowly catching up on my podcast and I heard Jonathan read Maroo's E-mail. I was so touched. I can not wait to meet her!!! I will be bringing things to donate to her from The Team.

Team Voice Many Goals, One Voice!!!



OK here is the map of the Rickenbacker Causeway. Holy Cats it was tuff going up and I hit 29.9 mph coming down on a bike!!!!!! It was exhilarating,and scary. I plan on doing another early am on Saturday.

R.I.P. Cast Member Austin....

This a horrible day in Walt Disney World.
Monorail accident.


The news feed

The Disney Blog

My heart goes out to Austin's family. I saw a picture of the young man he was one who drove the monorail and took us from Epcot one evening and he told us all about how to become a pilot.

I am happy that there was not a family riding with him, my heart goes out to his family.
The reality of it is that any of us could h have been in there with him we love riding up front. And we always left late to do that.

Happy Independace Day USA

Happy 4th Of July.

Today I started out with the Independence Day Duathlon. I finished in 1:35:41. I wasn't feeling well. I placed third in my division. There was another woman in my division. Big girl... and she was fast. She finished in 1:21. That's the time I have to beat in 2 weeks.

After the race we had a late birthday party for my now 15 year old. Been a good day.

I have this huge announcement I want to make BUT I am waiting to talk with my trainer first. She says I CAN do it. I think I CAN too. As soon as I get to talk to her then I will tell everyone.

I love my Team Voice Shirt... As you can see it is getting toooooo big to wear. So I am looking for a new shirt to wear in my races. When I find one I will Put the Team Voice logo on it.



And I sent out an Email for the July Team Voice member, but they haven't responded. What to do??? I will give them one more day And I am going to ask someone else. Sound fair???

OK so last year we ate at the Crystal Palace the night before the race. So where to next?? And yes we can have to Dole whip meet on Saturday. Remember I will be and so will a couple others doing the Full on Sunday. Thursday night a jelly rolls?? How about a run ?? I maybe able to keep up this time. ;) Any ride meets?? I will ride anything....


Where do you plan on staying??? Possible value again if not over to Caribbean?? How long do you plan on staying?? The Full Marathon is on E's birthday. ANd he will be a candle wearing Goof again. :)

We Keep On Swimming....????

First off A great big ole congratulations to Jonathan for finishing his second Half Marathon.
You crosses that finish line,you pushed through and you finished.

Now I want to introduce Team Voice to my trainer. This is Isabeau. Here is her link to her new blog. Please go say hi ti her. She knows how to say things just the right way. And check out her web page. She has updated it. Rock Hard Body and Soul. You can see her before and after photos. I am waiting to here from her on an interesting question I have asked her I and I will let you all in on it when I get an answer.

My weigh in this week was well down!!!! -2!! 193. Yay!!!!! And I am under the weather again and I have a race this Saturday. I am worried I will be hitting the wall . I will see how I feel later in the week. My bike has a flat and I have to find the leak. So far no luck. Grrr....

Do you all remember this??


This grand veiw the goal Team Voice has set out to see, to run through, to be apart of. Remeber how scared and intemadaited we all were at the 13.1 miles?? How the beep am I going to get here?? Do you remember all the training and hard work you and I have had to put in to get here?? SO.... do not forget it. TO do it again we all have to work hard and figured out how the beep to get in the miles. Ya know we all should be doing long runs of at least 10 miles by now?? Specially those of us who are doing the the full 26.2 miles?? Holy Cats I can't believe I am going to do it.
So that means doing local races that do not have the Disney magic and finding out what works and does not work so you can enjoy the Disney race right??? In 2010 I will not be in the half, but I will be out there cheering everyone on... I will be somewhere out there on the course following up on those who I can keep up with. We have only 6 months to go time, and that means alot of work.
Anyone thought about a Team Voice Meet??2010 How about the dole whip meet?? Just because our fearless leader will not be there in the physical form doesn't mean we can have fun. What about dinner before the race?? Where is everyone and there spirit???

Or did everyone stop swimming??

Team Voice Time To Shine......

I am feeling so much better today. I have ebnn down with a cold? Any way I will be hitting the dreadmill here shortly to see what I have lost from being inactive for a week. I did my measurements earlier this week and they are all down including the core!!! But the weight is hanging out still at 195. Grr..

Now on to bussiness .....

I have not been a Disney person lately. I haven't been on the boards I haven't listen to the podcast I have been so nonDisney. I am so sorry. I can't record to support Team Voice like before my pc is not working and Vista doesn't like my head phones. :(

It's Been A While.. Little Long

Hey there!
Yes it has been a while since I have blogged. I have been well, busy with work, training, tons of teen drama.

We went away last weekend. I had to get away. Take a time out. SO we went to Daytona Beach for the weekend. We had so much fun. It was a no shoes weekend, and do not ask me to do a thing weekend. We had a suite on the beach.The view was the best. The service at the hotel was well awful. We get in late, things happened were we left late. We get there, and get in our room and we had no couch. What?!? Ok so back to the office. They wanted to give us 2 rooms to make up for the couch. I said no that will not work. I want my suite and a place to sit. {With Hotel hospitality under my belt I know the GM would not like that}Then it took till 1p the next day when we got one. Then we had to pay to park, and had to park out on the road.{are you kidding me} then we paid for a safe we did not use{ok now I am a unhappy person} And at check out we paid state tax twice!? WTF!?! The GM wasn't in and they would not compensate us at all. So I took pictures of the room. I have all my paper work and I am filing a complaint. And the mirowave in the room wasn't working and we tried to use it and it smelled like burning electrical wire. SO we had a second one in the room.



Besides all that, we had fun doing nothing. The kids thought they were going to be bored. They had a blast. We had a blast together.{weird} We all needed it. No Disney, no city, no work, nothing. And a No shoes rule. We all wore flip flops. Even when we went to dinner. We hung out with my cousin all day, and the little one. Why can't they kids stay little?? Then we got to hang out with E's cousin and family. They are so much fun. They said when we start heading back to the World let them know and they will come up and hang out. Cool.

On the way home Sunday we headed out to Lake Whales to see the Singing Bok Tower. And Spook Hill. Some of Fl. natural beauty and Hills and the weird unexplained Spook hill. I will post later about it. We had to drive by the World, and that was soooo hard....I miss the characters and the rides, and the smells and people watching...

Three days last week there was no training. To much stress from teen drama. It just takes away from your mentally and it makes me feel wore out. And I was stress eating. I weighed in this morning. I still haven't gained or lost any weight. Today is measurement day. And There is a race in 2 weeks and I feel unprepared for it, I am debating registering. I want to and I do not want too. {the heat here is nearly 100 by 9a}

I am seriously thinking about doing the full marathon in Nov.and the Kenndey Space Center.

Slow and Steady

"It's sublime thing to suffer and be stronger."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The statement above is so true. I am a little sore today. Started my new new training plan. I have been getting up nearly every morning to run 2-2.5 miles. I am so proud of myself. :)
Today I did the #3 workout since I have to work this weekend and it was a bit of a challenge for me, and I have to say I am going to be sore in the morning.

I am going to register for the next Duathlon on July 4th. I can't wait.

Good luck to Matt tomorrow on the Half Marathon I will be waiting to hear how you do. :)
I am so behind on the blogs and podcast, and everything Disney. I have been training.

I got a new coffee machine. I got the Kureig. {Sp} I love it. I can make coffee, hot cocoa, tea hot water. It is the best. And it is fast too.

I found a full marathon in November near the Kennedy Space center. It is the closest full until Jan. I have been thinking about committing to it and WDW would be so much sweeter after I did one and see what I can improve on so I can have fun in Jan.2010. We will see.

The weather here is so hot, and humid. I can't stand it. I do not know how people get out there and run in it. It takes alot of of me just to do a half mile.

Have a great weekend!!!
