What Does Tower Of Terror 13k Mean To You? {36}

Just as the tittle says.What does it mean to you?? Is it just another race,or is it your first,or your first at WDW?

Well for me this is going to be an emotional race.

Before I met E I was married.I thought he was Mr.Right. I would start to train, or workout in one way or another he was not a positive support. So 5 years later here I am. No 6 years,E and I have been together 1 1/2 yrs. And over weight. I gained my weight in that 5 years.

Last September we started walking,and biking. Then in October 06 we were putting out Halloween decorations I slipped and fell and I damaged my good knee.I already have a bad one. So I had had to have surgery to clean it up.I was off my feet all of October,and November.I did physical therapy.As soon as I got the ok I was back out walking.My Ortho. Doctor does not want me running if I can speed walk it go for it. I have been running.My knees haven't been the problems. While I was out I gained some weight back that I lost.

Then I was reading the DWT and how everyone was wanting to do the same thing I was. Then I came across Jonathan.He help as fuel to the fire to keep going.Then Kate. He inspired you to start a blog and he was doing the same to me.Then JB.The mileage man.And all his great pictures. I missed the 2008 1/2 m sign up from the muscle injury.I sure won't miss the 2009 1/2 M.We are doing the family fun run in AK in 2008.I want to be there and cheer everyone on from WDT.Help out to if I can. Plus that weekend is E's birthday weekend and I am trying to get a surprise set up for him while there that weekend. :)

So I cry over everything.I am emotional person. And when we get there I have to stay focus,and not get caught up in the Disney atmosphere. {I love WDW and I just can't get enough of being there}.I want to finish that race and I want a picture of me crossing that finish line, and then one with my medal and Mickey. I am a picture person.I have pictures of everything.

I want pictures of those of us from the blogs cause I never made friends before over the internet.And to meet you guys and knowing that we all have the same goal and the love for the same place makes it so overwhelming. :)

My friend who I made through my ex ,she will be more than happy to show off the picture of me with my medal to my ex. That will be the closing that I need on that chapter.

To top it all off E's family is coming.My Dad is just well he doesn't like WDW,and he hasn't been there to know if he will like it.My mom she just can't make it,next year she will.And this is my first official race.

So this is what is race means to me and my emotions are running high.

I am raising money for Jon and he doesn't even know it yet and I hope it stays that way till Dec.8th.I want to bring him a check,from the race and the pins on ebay. :)

Hot Wheels Day

Today was Hot Wheels Day at K Mart. At 9 am they brought out a case of cars and everyone got to go through them.Well needless to say E bought 53 cars.

Bonus side I got a Minnie and a Mickey Christmas characters for the front porch.They are about three feet tall. Very cute.

I weighed in yesterday 218.Better than what I thought I was going to be.I knew that I had put some weight back on.
No training yesterday.I tried real hard to get out there but I was so tired my feet still hurt today.I wore my pedometer and it said I walked 18.02 miles.I am not if I believe that But I sure feel it today.

I was able to switch my my schedule around and I can go to the Epcot thing on Monday October 1st.It will be just me coming.I haven't been to anything like that.I will take pictures and do a small trip report from there since I can do that now. :)

Meals:

I have to say I am thinking about taking tomorrow off.My thigh muscles are sore today.But if I don't push I won't get better.It will depend on how I feel in the am.
I have stuck to getting up in the morning and eating breakfast early.So far so good. :)

Now I hope I do not run in to a low point.I was in one three weeks ago when I had to do all the traveling to N.Fl. and dealing with family just was the worse.I gain some weight back.8 pounds.I got on the scale today. :( I will work it off.



Hey since none of us are going to be there to see Jonathan ride RNR after the race lets take our picture out front.{I know we will be riding it}. :) I was looking at the 13k map.I was trying to remember if we are going to have to deal with some inclines.I have been training on the random hills so I should do ok.

Walking Day #2

I am not sure if my ipod was right today with the time on the stop watch.

I am in awe of it.I never thought I was going to be able to get to this point.I can remember when I was walking this in 90 minutes for just the 4 miles.I had to talk myself up to keep going tonight.And it worked.

Do you want to hear the time?? Well read it???

It gave me goose bumps when I looked at the time. Oh yea I was walking and jogging too.My jogging intervals were a little longer and walked more .I was having a hard time keeping my breathing in tune.This time E did not slow down, and I had to do my best to keep up with him and I had a rough time to keep a 3 persons length or I would have just got real slow.

TIME 1:00:37

DO YOU SEE THE TIME!!!!! i CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
Shaved off another 5 minutes.Can I maintain this??I sure want to.:)
I was so excited when we made it to the house I was without words.I get goose bumps now just thinking about it.



Meals:
B:two engish muffins,with cheese and OJ
L:salad 1 tbsp of dressing,cinnamon bun{ bad I know}
D: home made meat balls,eggs noodles,veggie,1/2 glass milk
D: small piece of brownie,with frozen yogurt.
NO more desserts until next Sunday.

I was canceled today from work so While I was I still up I watch the Big fat looser.I tivo it. I was interested in how they were helping these people loose weight. The whole show was just so inspiring. after watching the show all I wanted to do was go in and jump on E and get him up and get out the door. It comes on Tuesday evenings here and it is worth watching. I have work with people that come in to the hospital that are heavier than some of the ones on the show and it is amazing to see them jogging. Yes jogging.

I got a new pair of shoes.It was funny.We would try on the shoes and then walk around the store to see how they would do. I have a pair of adidas .They feel like I am walking on a well padded floor.Then for work I got a pair of brooks gel.


Well ADR"s {which means...} but I know what you are asking Kate.
The plan goes like this.Thursday the 25th we plan to arrive in the late afternoon.{Kids only have a half day and no school on friday}.Then check in and depending on what time it is hang out and go to the pool or hit a park.E's mom and sister are driving down from Virginia.E"s sister is running in the 13k with us and their mom is going to watch the little one while we do the run.Then on friday we are going to take them over to AK {they haven't been yet},then by 1p or 2p go back to the room and rest up for the MNSSHP. Saturday morning early is chef mickey,then Epcot and then back to the room to rest for the race.Their will be 5 of us in the race.Then on Sunday maybe park hop all day.Leave on Monday.Yes we all are staying at the POP.We are suppose to get an adjoining rooms.I can send you a message when we get up there.
