Raining On The Kingdom

Good day from the wonderful world of Disney. Well just outside of it .By the time we got here yesterday it was rainning,and the Mk closed early. So we checked in to the hotel and ate dinner and headed out to Disney Quest. We were there till they closed.

Today we are going head out to go have breakfast with Chef Mickey. He could pencil us in,Cinderella could not. Then from there, we will just have a blast.We will be headed over to Hollywood Studios.Mk closes late tonight !!!

The arm was misbehaving last night and it was hard to do some of the games .So far this morning it is ok.

Points yesterday 36.

No sit ups.

Miles 0.

I will have to work on my miles.

Yes can you believe that the kids do not want to be here.?! Now that we are here they can't wait to get going. Weird.

Have a great day!!!!

Guess Where I am Going????

{ We are in the last row in the ride}

3 guesses , and first 2 do not count. :) No not the Keys........no not to the Tundra.......oh yes!!!!

Disney World!!!! Main Street USA!!!

I can't wait to go.Get away from here and be recharged and find my groove. The kids say they do not want to go but when we get there they are having to much fun, and they do not want to go home. This will be a nice break for them right after the fcat testing.

Our neighrbor,update he had surgery yesterday.Come to find out he had a heart attack while away on vacation.Not altitude sickness.He had an 80 % blockage in one artery,and they were able to remove the clot. He also has a enlarged heart.Not enough exercise.And I found out, he is 3 years older than me!! He look much younger. It will be a while before he can come home.And the guys from the fire department are coming by and they are going to do some work on his home to surprise him when he does come home. The doctor had to step in and tell them no more visitors.Wait till he is out of icu. His entire family is here and they are thr nicest people I have met in a while.

This made me stand back and look at myself. I haven't been walking/jogging at all. I have to so that won't be me.:) I have to find my groove.Where did it go??

It is spring break in Centeral FL. So finding some lodging was a challenge all in it's own. We won't be staying on site,which is fine by me, we won't ever be in the room anyway. I can update my blog while there, and add pictures.

Oh yeah the Osmonds are at Disney today,I just didn;t hear which resort.Maybe we will run in to them. I remember watching them when I was a kid.

I am on the phone trying to set up to have breakfast in the castle on Sunday.E hasn't been in the castle yet.And that is my birthday. I don't want to sounds selfish but I do hope we can get picked for a dream wish.

No grab bags for pins at the pin trading event.There is going to be an event at the Contemporary tonight and we thought we may go . They didn't even have the 1.99 pins. And they playthe same game all the time PINGO. So I picked up some of the others pins. Some of the people that were at the event were pulling small suitcases full of pins.And cork boards full of pins.I do not know why the S.FL. people are not nice.We could not get them to talk to us if you hung a huge pin around my neck. I didn't reconize anyone, and the one CM asked me if I have ever been there before.It has been 6 weeks since I have been in their store. The manager knew us!!! Well We tried to work the crowd and maybe a couple of new listeners will pop up.Yes I wore my shirt.

Points yesterday: 28

sit ups: 15

miles: 0

My arm was really good yeasterday,so I drove my car.Well My arm was tired and weak after driving my car,and sore. :( Today sore,but not painful.

Got to go! Got to get ready and finish packing the car and E will be home shortly and we are outta here!!!!

As I told Jonathan I will tell Mickey, hello for him and eveyone else!! I will even blog proof!!

I will also get a look at the graiffe's again too. :)

JB we will have I ce cream in a waffle bowl for ya!!! I can't till all of you are here and we all can have one together.

And I will make sure I visit Donald And tell him about our quest that we are on for 2009 and see if he will be there to see all of us. And last of all maybe we will see that crazy sugar glider,Shandy. He hangs out over in the AK.

Oh yes got to get a look at the new Hollywood Studios. Alot to do.Little time to do it all in.

BTW if you do not have a ps3, it is awesome!!!!! I don't know why we waited so long to get one.

I Can't Beleive It!!!

I have to say alot .A lot has been going on the last couple of days.

I haven't made it back to the gym. Bad me. I know my pace is going to be off. I have to get that back up.

We have a new toy .Love it!!!!

We may be going to WDW this weekend. My birthday in all...
BUT......

We may not go. Our good friend and neighbor and one of our Team Voice donors. Actually the city fire department is. Yes they are collecting pennies for us.
Any way.......

He has been very ill since he returned from vacation, and has became worse over the last month.He refused to go the doctors.And while at work yesterday,he got ill and coughing so bad he could not catch his breath. They took him to the hospital.
I just found out this morning, from one of his co workers,who brought him some food to his house since his parents are in town,and told me. He is in ICU, with fluid around his heart,chf,and a blood clot in his heart. OMG!!!!!! He is younger than me. So it will depend on his condition if we go.

I will add his name to my Minnie 15k shirt.

Look over in my favorite places and look just under, the wdw registration . There is a new link. Home Fitness Equipment. He offered to donate to us, if I put a a link to his site.I did. Since I do not have PayPal, I had him donate directly to the Dream Team. If you would allow him to have a link on your page he will donate to you as well. Let me know and I will give you his e-mail address.

I have 9 picture frames for the sit up and push up challenge. Is one of those going to be yours??
Please do not worry about the cost,I have access to the Disney warehouses here.Great prices.
The one store is going to be closing,to be renovated,and will be hiring when they reopen.I was told by the store manger. I have been bugging them since 2004.It is the Disney company owned stores. They know me by name and now E TOO.:)

Tonight is pin trading night in the Miami store.I hope they have grab bags!!! :)

Happy Monday

Well new week new views.

The half Marathon is full so it is now closed. The full marathon is at 50%.

After the last two weeks of car shopping we have made the decision not to buy a car.Yes it would be cheaper on gass and maintance,but if we wait till next year this time we can buy the car we are looking at brand new instead of used. We will have to use the rag top for our main car.We ordered a new top for it and the hose for the a/c and it will be ready. Then mine we will still work on to get ready for the track.I can't wait. Couple of the tracks will be having road course weekends and this year we are going. :)

Ok so now I am getting back on track with training.I did 35 sit ups last night,I am going to the gym and getting back on the pretor and starting out at 30 minutes and work my way back up to an hour. Headed back outside to start putting in the miles and working on my pace since we can do a 5k this month.It was pouring down rain over the weekend so we didn't get to do any.

MY points I have not been counting like I was before,but I have not done any extra eatting.Still maintaining my weight 210-209. My arm well I go to docs next week.I can not wait.I am getting bored here at home. The arm isn't right but I have been having some good hours.The swelling hasn't been as bad.But when it hurts it is pain ful and keeps me up all night.Like lastr night, and goes away.I think it is carpal tunnel.

This coming weekend is my birthday.My girlfriends rag me about getting older, it doesn't bother me. I am glad to here on this planet.

The Minnie Marathon is coming and closing in on us. I am excited.
Wait till you see the shirt we made out of bordom.We got some of the t-shirt paint and made a shirt that I wear training.It says I am training for the WDW half Marathon 13.1 miles and on the front real big it says Team Voice. We are going to head down this week or the next to look in to the shirts for running.And we were going to pick a couple patterns out and put them on Cafe press.And we are having a couple sample stickers made up.

I picked up a few of the frames for the challenge.I hope everyone will like them.I have to catch up on posting pictures.

Short and Sweet

Nothing new here.
It has been a week since I have put in any mileage. The arm is just weird. It hates the cold. The cool air makes it hurt and my fingers won't work right. :(

Points, well I haven't been counting this week and I Haven't being eating a lot since I don't do much.{damn Arm}

Have a great weekend!

BTW the half for 09 is 97% full and the full marathon is at 50%

Still Alive And Kicking!!!

Disney Marathon Nets a Record-Setting $7.6M for Charities

The 2008 Walt Disney World Marathon weekend was an overwhelming success, with a record- setting 18,000 athletes registering to run the 26.2-mile race and 16,000 for the 13.1 mile race. But beyond the personal triumphs of the athletes, another record was set in January - more than $7.6 million was raised for charities. "The marathon that started 15 years ago as an outlet for runners to reach their athletic goals, has turned into so much more than an athletic event; it's a way for runners to rally around organizations that are making a difference to millions," said Senior Vice President of Disney Sports Enterprises Ken Potrock.

Amazing I think. :)

On the car shopping front we have a few more we plan on looking at today.We got back very late the last couple of nights so no miles. Sorry.

I will pay for it later. We are not going to be doing the 5k this weekend. There is other things going on we just can't go. But there is one the following weekend. I think we are actually going out of town. :) :) :) A couple of ours friends got married and guess where they are and they want us to come up and spend the day with them. They got married last Saturday and I was unable to attend,E went.{damn kids} ,plus we were car shopping before the wedding and after.

I am glad that everyone likes the different levels for the challenge. I was speaking with some of the runner's and the shop where I get my shoes and this is what I came up with. And we can call the last one Expert ,I don't care ...... :)

Points range between 28- and 34 this last few days. Maintaining my weight.

In 2 weeks I go to the new doctors and hopefully find out what is going on inside my right arm.I am so not liking sitting here. There not a lot to do one handed.Some days the arm works and others I can't bend my fingers. And I can hen peck the key board. And for any exercise I have to wear the arm sock to keep the arm from being painful.

And E said he is going to do the intermediate unless he's miles rack up past that.{dout it}

BTW the half is now 93% full

Challenge #3 and Car shopping....

Just got in from car shopping and I tell you,what a mess!! I found 2 that I really like. Focus zx3 one is all power with leather,and the other is really nice with some after market work.{sweet} The all power ,Steeda yellow really low under 5,000 miles, and the, dark blue,is under 40,000 miles, both drive sweet. I like the Steeda yellow, cause it looks like a euro Focus, and has the motor under the Coggsworth,and low miles. And I like the dark blue due to the modifications done to it and it is running a duratec ??And it will get nearly 40 miles to a gallon of gas.The other one only 30.

Ok now on to the Team Voice Challenge for March #3:
