Hey there Ohana! I keep popping in and keep failing to finish a post. I am DETERMINED this time! Congratulations to John on Dubai, Richard on Rocky and JenB on running with 2 celebrities AND getting a PR??? I SO should have tagged along with you for Tinkerbell! I guess if you can't have...

Thank you, John and Jackie - I'm glad my thoughts resonated with you. Maria - I have missed you - our paths diverged for a while there, but I am glad you came by to say hello. I have been so absent from the DIS in recent months, and I'm sorry we've lost touch. Thanks for the good wishes...

One other thing. I know that most everyone knows from facebook that my grandfather passed away in December. Which was sad, but...I did go and say goodbye, he was comfortable and had had a long and interesting life, so that was all happy as well. I was frustrated to learn that my father did...

3:30 (or earlier) Saturday - Beaches and Cream! When I read about the accident earlier today, I didn't understand at first...because I realized I did not even know Robert and Linda's last names until today. If they'd posted his DIS screen name, I'd have clued right in. It is a strange but...

I went back and looked - seems like it was 3pm at B&C last year, for what that is worth. Is it just going to be me and Richard and a No Way Jose? I can think of worse things. Richard maybe can't, though! :laughing: John - Dublin has been on my list all along. I don't know that I can get...

I ran for 2 years without any real sustained weight change. After two years and my first half marathon, I decided I could do anything I set my mind to, admitted i had a problem with food and was going to need some sort of accountability in order to see a long term change. I've been maintaining...

Ohana! Am I voted most-absent-from-the-DIS teammate this year? I feel like I've mostly been on Facebook because I can update it from my phone...and most of us are friends over there. So it's like I've been gone, and yet, not completely, right? It's great to catch up a little over here...

Hi Team! It's been a while...and what is new? I ran the Charlevoix Half Marathon last Saturday. It was OK. An exceedingly well run small town race with multiple events that I was kind of undertrained for. Good times! I feel like I have been keeping up with some teammates on facebook...

Hi Princesses! princess: Greetings from Her Highness Princess Unreliable! I'm really sorry I don't have time to reply to everyone right now - we're packing up for a little trip, not to WDW, so nevermind. :laughing: I hope to be a bit more back in the loop next week. It's great to catch...

Vital members of the family is exactly right - This has been a rough time for the furry members of our extended Ohana. :grouphug: I hope that is the last of those sorts of choices for a long while. I have been busy with taking pictures of Tommy (with my fancy new camera) and getting ready...

Honestly, I am still here. Today was the last day of school for my older DS - his brother was out on Friday. So I hope to get to the point in the next few days where there is a little less mayhem of running all over the place, picking up and dropping off QUITE so much every day. It was a...

Hi....(sheepish)....is it OK if I slink back in for the summer as a maintainer? I got lost in the shuffle and the spring break and the several shows demanding a lot of last-minute scrambling over the spring and the extra-large January group and all...but summer is different and somehow it...

No judgement on a "crick" here either. My sister used to go to the crick to catch crawdads. And we have never lived in the south, but there are some terms and phrases that are too good to not use just because they are somewhat regonally based. Like "I might-could" or "fixin'" We mebbe had a...

Lisa - what a great report! All you needed was a little more time - I knew you had what it takes to finish a half! What a great triumph and accomplishment for you! Congratulations!!!! Some of those fastie racers in front are just so focused, sometimes I think they just don't feel they can...

Richard, I think you are smart to focus more on the things that went right and the fact that your training got you through it! Sometimes there's no explanation for things that we can find, too. The nutrition/water/electrolyte stuff is so complicated, I have no idea. You wouldn't think...

OK, after reading your report (good one, by the way!) I apologize for even thinking of churos during the last half of your race. Yikes. You do look like you were feeling better by the time you got to the finish chute, though! Any idea what happened, since you hadn't had this difficulty in...

I'm going to say it again, in case Richard might have forgotten. And I'm using a deep announcer voice, too: Richard, you are an Ironman!!! I've been doing most of my supporting and cheering for this event on Facebook. It was a classic Richard finish, I must say, even without a Churro...

Yes! You are correct - People who use the WISH (We're Inspired To Stay Healthy) section of the DISboards are WISHers. You can often recognize us at a race because we are wearing our lime green racing shirts (like the lime green mickey heads used by other DISers, but in shirt form) and...

I actually think that the back-of-the-packers are often the MOST inspiring athletes in a race. They work just as hard for sometimes as much as twice as long. And they give people who have never run or raced the idea that this is something for everyone. It is not just the fast people, the...

So I thought for sure those disks were going to say "You're going to be competing in an Ironman next month!" I wonder why they stopped doing the Marathon - not that I thought it was a great idea for some of the contestants in the first place. I can't believe I am caught up now, too - this...
