21:02:57 [pixie] Hey LGC I'm glad you're here!
21:03:01 [AliciaG] woo hoo! I could use some cheering, Cheri
21:03:12 [AliciaG] How are you, pixie, Sheryl?
21:03:32 [Sheryl] Ready to start planning the marathon
21:03:40 [Sheryl] I'm already excited about it
21:03:42 [pixie] I'm ready to go, how are you Alicia?
21:04:07 [LimeGreenC] I'd love to be able to be at the finish line for
ya'll, but when I added up the vacation hours, not enough
21:04:10 [AliciaG] Doing good Sorry about my connection problem
earlier...darn dialup
21:04:37 [pixie] We'll call you Cheri!
21:04:44 [AliciaG] It's is on a Sunday, Cheri 
I know you'll be there with us in thought
21:04:49 [Sheryl] I've got to admit though, I walk my 1 mile and get extremely worried of how I am going to manage it
21:05:09 [AliciaG] have either of you guys made your hotel reservations yet?
21:05:12 [Sheryl] I wish you were able to go also Cheri
21:05:23 [LimeGreenC] Sheryl, I'm thinking the adrenaline alone will propel you
21:05:25 [Sheryl] Tink said to wait until Fall to make them
21:05:34 [pixie] I know exactly how you feel Sheryl. I had those feelings right up to the starting line.
21:05:58 [pixie] I'll be at the Polynesian with my family
21:06:12 [Sheryl] We're hoping to do the Polynesian also
21:06:14 [LimeGreenC] Are there pottys along the way? ya know "gotta go gotta go right now"
21:06:16 [AliciaG] do you feel better now that you are consistently doing the mile, Sheryl? Has that one mile gotten easier?
21:06:46 [pixie] I didn't think much about that adrenaline but it does help
21:07:00 [Sheryl] yes, Alicia, it does seem easier
21:07:23 [Sheryl] I think being in a group will keep me moving
21:07:28 [LimeGreenC] Hey Sharon
21:07:28 [pixie] The pottys are gross and i went very early in the race. Most men and some women went in the bushes.
21:07:30 [Sheryl] Hello Sharon
21:07:32 [AliciaG] I think that's a positive sign. I know it's gotten easier for me each time
21:07:39 [AliciaG] Hi Sharon!!!
21:07:55 [pixie] Hi Sharon I'm glad you made it
21:08:04 [FLSharon] Hello, hello.. sorry i'm late...
21:08:09 [Sheryl] Oh my, so hope you don't have to go....I can't go in the bushes...LOL
21:08:29 [AliciaG] maybe we should give it another couple of minutes, and then I have some questions I'd love to have you answer, pixie
21:08:56 [LimeGreenC] I grew up in the country, I know all about "squatting" LOL
21:09:05 [AliciaG] I'm not much for port-a-potties, but I'm in a race...I'd be in and out in a flash, lol
21:09:12 [pixie] I have a potty secret! Only Sharon knows! I'll PM anyone that is curious.
21:09:26 [FLSharon] Sheryl, by starting now, we'll be able to make it.. just increase slowly...
21:09:37 [FLSharon] LOL..Pixie
21:09:42 [AliciaG] oh, the images that are going thru my mind, lol
21:09:55 [pixie] It's important to build up slowly
21:10:09 [AliciaG] yep, Sharon is right...slow and steady is going to be the key
21:10:09 [LimeGreenC] a potty secret! I wanna know!!!!
21:10:18 [pixie] I saw more than I wnated to see!
21:10:28 [AliciaG] you'll build strength and stamina and avoid injury that way
21:10:44 [Sheryl] better pm me Barbara, I want to know.LOL
21:11:03 [pixie] I never had one injury all during training.
21:11:08 [LimeGreenC] So how many from tagrel are signed up?

21:13:44 [FLSharon] I"m outside while i can and will go inside when the heat hits... then back outside
21:13:59 [pixie] We're just getting rid of the snow
21:14:06 [Sheryl] same ehre
21:14:41 [FLSharon] Pixie, Who's training program did you use?
21:14:44 [Sheryl] pixie, did you carry a backpack?

21:16:13 [AliciaG] Yes, I have a ton of questions...are you ready, Barbara, lol
21:16:21 [pixie] Before the 14 week training program I just made it up
21:16:41 [pixie] Before the 14 week training plan I just made it up
21:16:51 [FLSharon] Did you concentrate on time or adding miles before hte 14 wk
21:16:53 [AliciaG] Y'all chime in there with any questions. We're all so excited and raring to go
21:17:24 [pixie] Sorry I burped!!!
21:17:37 [AliciaG] I'll tell y'all what the girl at the running store told me, and what I read on some walk/marathon sites
21:17:54 [pixie] Building up endurance is more important than time
21:17:56 [Sheryl] I'm afraid, I will be the slow poke and will be way behind you all
21:18:09 [AliciaG] I read that you should be doing about 20 miles per week for about 4 months before you start the 14 week training program.
21:18:19 [AliciaG] still got time to build up to that
21:18:25 [AliciaG] Hi Smiley!
21:18:26 [Sheryl] Hello smiley
21:18:35 [pixie] No you won't Sheryl, you'll be fine. I'm slow
21:18:35 [FLSharon] Hi smiley
21:18:39 [smiley] Hi there!
21:18:46 [pixie] Hi Smiley
21:18:51 [smiley] Is there a special topic for tonight
21:19:01 [FLSharon] I just want to finish w/o injuries
21:19:10 [AliciaG] Sheryl, I know it can seem daunting, but it'll get easier every week. I agree that the adrenaline, and help of friends will push us through
21:19:12 [pixie] Was that for the 1/2 Alicia?
21:19:24 [Sheryl] ok with time that sems doable
21:19:26 [AliciaG] Amen, Sharon!
21:19:36 [AliciaG] she knew I was walking the 1/2
21:19:42 [pixie] Taht was my goal Sharon I was very cautious
21:20:00 [AliciaG] Smiley, we are chit-chatting about the upcoming WDW 1/2 Marathon
21:20:04 [Sheryl] Yes Smiley, we are discussing doing the 1/2 disney marathon in january
21:20:16 [smiley] OK, thanks.
21:20:33 [AliciaG] w'ere all novices except pixie who's done it
21:20:56 [smiley] Really? That is great!
21:21:07 [AliciaG] I'm glad the weather will be somewhat cool. I don't think you get as tired if you aren't so hot'
21:21:10 [pixie] Your welcome to join in Smiley
21:21:11 [FLSharon] I need to read bingham again.. i read before i got decent shoes and forgot..lol..
21:21:25 [smiley] I had some friends that would run the Boston marathon... How long is the one in WDW?
21:21:40 [AliciaG] I've heard good things about the Saucony shoes, Sharon
21:21:55 [Sheryl] Barbara, did you buy special shoes?
21:22:00 [AliciaG] Wow! The Boston Marathon is a big deal.
21:22:00 [pixie] I see people out trianing for the Boston Marathon now
21:22:00 [FLSharon] Well, I've just been run/walking a mile and tonight i did another half too and i can already tell the difference.
21:22:21 [AliciaG] that they help you?
21:22:22 [FLSharon] Alicia , that's what i got. but he didn't do a lengthly gait test like you got.
21:22:22 [smiley] I don't run... But I hear never to wear a new t-shirt unless you wear a comfy one underneath as it can be chaffing
21:22:39 [pixie] I got New Balance
21:22:49 [AliciaG] yes, 13 miles of chaffing would be awful
21:22:56 [Sheryl] ok
21:23:12 [pixie] They are along the route with Vasoline
21:23:18 [AliciaG] most of us are planning on walking, smiley...not so much a time thing as just to get fit, have fun, and finish
21:23:19 [smiley] Also there is some sort of "slip stick" that they sell to rub on places that may chaffe, like thigh and chest for the men
21:23:28 [Sheryl] ROFL I don't run either smiley, I'm a prfessional chair warmer
21:23:32 [FLSharon] Oh, I met by running for awhile i can tell a difference in indurance etc...
21:23:37 [smiley] I hope that you all have a great time!
21:23:37 [pixie] And BioFreeze for pain. I carried my own
21:23:43 [AliciaG] LOL, me too, Sheryl
21:23:50 [FLSharon] And I havne't done squat in over a year.
21:23:56 [AliciaG] never heard of BioFreeze. What does it do?
21:24:25 [FLSharon] BioFreeze ... i'll need that for my knees... They already are hurting.. So i've loaded up on Glucosmine.
21:24:47 [pixie] BioFreeze is a freezing jel, it's great
21:25:00 [AliciaG] sounds good
21:25:09 [Sheryl] is that for during the race or after?
21:25:18 [AliciaG] pixie, can you just take us thru the 1/2 and describe what it's like?
21:25:19 [FLSharon] Pixie, I think alicia just got New Bal too...
21:25:32 [pixie] You'll need to do exercises to build up your legs Sharon
21:25:40 [AliciaG] yep, NB for me
21:26:03 [AliciaG] I loved the Brooks, but my left foot is "A" width, and they slid around too much
21:26:05 [pixie] I used the BioFreeze on my knee during the race
21:26:35 [pixie] Get the best shoe you can it will be worth it
21:26:43 [FLSharon] Pixie, it's osteoarthitis.... I take glucosamine but have been rather lax about it ...
21:27:31 [pixie] Wow, pain Sharon! Does the glucosmine help?
21:28:13 [AliciaG] what did you do as far as your nutrition, pixie? gels, food, water, powerade?
21:28:24 [FLSharon] Yep, it builds the fluid up in the joint again. takes awhile to tho.. I should have started awile back but it wasn't bothering me unitl the running?
21:28:25 [pixie] What do you want to know Alicia? It doesn't feel like 31/2 hours have past.
21:28:27 [AliciaG] during the race I mean
21:29:12 [Sheryl] I will ahve a bunch of glucose tablets with me for my sugar
21:29:15 [pixie] Walking is less stress Sharon. Maybe you should concentrate on walking
21:29:26 [AliciaG] I've been reading that you need to get a plan when you start your 14 weeks as to what you'll do eat/drink wise.
21:29:59 [AliciaG] Oh yes, Sheryl. YOu've got to take care of that. Do you need to test on the route?
21:30:13 [FLSharon] Alicia, have you read nancy clarks book on nutrition?
21:30:16 [pixie] I ate a banana for breakfast before the race. I alternated water and PowerAid and then had part of a banana about mile 7
21:30:34 [Owl] Hi all
21:30:42 [Sheryl] I think it will be a pain to carry that little case, so if I jsut make sure I pop a few tablets every once in a while I should be fine
21:30:45 [FLSharon] Hello Owl
21:30:47 [AliciaG] so, Powerade is what they serve then...did they provide fruit along the way?
21:30:53 [AliciaG] Hi Owl!
21:30:55 [Sheryl] Hello owl
21:31:06 [pixie] Hi Owl nice to see you. We're talking about the WDW 1/2 Marathon
21:31:33 [Sheryl] darn so tehy don't serve you a nice cup of cheese soup from Le Cellier?
21:31:35 [pixie] They only give PowerBars and fruit to the full marathon.
21:31:36 [AliciaG] I think i'll want to wear one of those fanny pack things. I can't imagine not having stuff with me
21:32:00 [pixie] LOL Sheryl. You won't feel like eating
21:32:12 [AliciaG] ROFL, Sheryl! That'll be for after the race
21:32:23 [pixie] I carried gel and a PowerBar but didn't need it
21:32:24 [FLSharon] Pixie, wow that stinks.. only food to the full marathon?
21:32:24 [Sheryl] Yep, Alicia, I'm thinking even throwing in a little pack of kleenex, for bushes stops...ROFL
21:32:35 [pixie] Bring a camera too
21:32:47 [AliciaG] where'd you get the banana? Not in the bushes I hope
21:33:08 [smiley] Have fun and good luck everyone! Good night.
21:33:08 [pixie] Ah, maybe that's what aSharon meant about squats! LOL
21:33:09 [Sheryl] LOL
21:33:12 [AliciaG] bring a camera during the race?
21:33:21 [AliciaG] nite, smiley!
21:33:21 [pixie] Now Alicia be nice!
21:33:32 [pixie] I had my own bananas!
21:33:41 [AliciaG] lol
21:33:59 [FLSharon] Well I saw people on the full run carrying all kinds of stuff.. way too much for me..
21:34:03 [AliciaG] So they have tables every mile with water or powerade?
21:34:19 [pixie] I had a Mickey bar and hot chocolate after the race and was I ever sick!
21:34:22 [AliciaG] I think a fanny pack will do it for me. hopefully a small one
21:34:38 [Sheryl] But won't the drinks make me have to use the outhouses?
21:34:42 [FLSharon] Pixie, what mile was it that you had to reach by a certain time or they picked you up?
21:34:52 [AliciaG] sweat, sweat, sweat it out
21:35:07 [pixie] You need to drink Sheryl, but not too much
21:35:20 [FLSharon] Too cold to sweat..lol...
21:35:50 [pixie] I never saw anyone get picked up but I heard someone saying it was mile 9
21:35:53 [Sheryl] Now, how did you dress? in layers?
21:36:00 [AliciaG] shoot, I sweat out her in the park when it's in the 40s. Surely it'll be in the 40's. I hate it when it's too cold
21:36:11 [AliciaG] good question, Sheryl
21:36:24 [pixie] I didn't sweat I kept a sweatshirt on until I entered the MK
21:36:46 [AliciaG] Owl, do you do any walking/running?
21:37:05 [AliciaG] dang! it must have been cool
21:37:11 [Sheryl] Ok, then I'll ahve to carry a megaphone if I don't
make it to mile 9
21:37:38 [AliciaG] I'm a couch potato myself, but upcoming age 40 and Miss Pixie inspired me
21:37:54 [FLSharon] Pixie did you notice a difference is what you ate and how you felt when you were training?
21:38:07 [FLSharon] Alicia, Your just a babe!
21:38:12 [AliciaG] We're going to do this Sheryl!
21:38:16 [pixie] I wore shorts and a shirt. Over that I had sweatpants that I slit up the side for easy removal over shoes. I cut a sweatshirt down the front. These things you throw out along the way. We also wor trash bags until the race started. It was COLD, right Sharon?
21:38:17 [Sheryl] same here Alicia
21:38:32 [AliciaG] Ah, thank you, Sharon
21:38:52 [FLSharon] Wow, was it ever cold... I had on my winter coat!
21:39:05 [AliciaG] I feel young in my mind anyway, lol
21:39:42 [AliciaG] is that typical for that time of year, Sharon?
21:39:42 [pixie] I ate less when I trained but I did't follow an eating plan. Too much trouble for me
21:40:19 [FLSharon] That's good to hear.. I dont' feel like being anal about it..LOL...
21:40:31 [pixie] I feel young in my mind but that's all. Sharon are near in age although I'm older!
21:40:39 [AliciaG] My biggest hurdle is changing my eating. I eat fatty, fried, southern food. I just don't eat huge portions. I can't imagine getting all into the healthy eating thing, but I know I need to
21:40:41 [FLSharon] Alicia, Yes, it's typical to be cold ... it was the same the previous year.
21:40:42 [Sheryl] this may sound odd, but why did the mickey bar make you sick after the race Pixie?
21:41:12 [FLSharon] I've been told there have been some warm, and even rain (YUK)... but not often.
21:41:27 [pixie] It was too much fat I guess
21:41:31 [AliciaG] Oh my, what do you do if it rains?
21:41:33 [Sheryl] I figured we have to dress in layers
21:42:01 [FLSharon] Well it goes on... you just have to decide if you want to or not...
21:42:02 [pixie] Keep on the trash bag and wear a hat to keep the rain out of your face
21:42:05 [Sheryl] If it rains, then you get to see me looking like a drowned rat
21:42:18 [FLSharon] Just hope it's clear skies!!
21:42:18 [AliciaG] were most people wearing shorts?
21:42:52 [pixie] I saw a lot of long Spandex but that's not for me.
21:42:59 [AliciaG] I guess I'll walk 3/12 hours without my glasses, lol. I can't stand raindrops on my glasses
21:43:29 [pixie] Sahron about the eating I wanted to do this with the least amount of change in my life.
21:43:34 [FLSharon] I saw everything.. the biggest thing to is all the standing around time before it starts... that can be really cold.
21:43:45 [Sheryl] No Alicia, we'll get those huge rain bonnets
21:43:57 [AliciaG] ROFL!
21:43:59 [FLSharon] hello dog..
21:44:11 [pixie] That's where a group will be fun. We can dance and fool around to pass the time
21:44:16 [Sheryl] Well, we can jog in place to warm up..LOL
21:44:20 [AliciaG] Hi zakerdog! We're talking WDW 1/2 Marathon!
21:44:22 [Sheryl] Hello zakerdog
21:44:42 [pixie] Hi zakerdog, nice to see you
21:44:51 [AliciaG] I think being in a group is going to help so much! It'll be fun and motivating
21:45:13 [zakerdog] Hellow everyone, just dropped in for a minute, not much of an authority on marathons, never been in one!
21:45:14 [Sheryl] We can get a picture of our group and send it in to the disney magazine
21:45:19 [AliciaG] we'll need to do the pre-race pasta dinner or something fun together
21:45:27 [pixie] Taht's why I'm doing it again so I can have the fun of a group.
21:45:29 [AliciaG] Great idea, Sheryl!
21:45:36 [Sheryl] Oh that sounds good
21:45:46 [AliciaG] lol, neither have 3/4 of us, zakerdog
21:46:23 [AliciaG] I'm still not sure if it'll just be John and I, or if
the kids will be coming. I'd sure rest better without 5 people in the
room
21:46:37 [Sheryl] Heck zaker, most nights its an effort for me to get out of my computer chair and walk up to bed..LOL
21:46:44 [pixie] I couldn't eat the night before so we went to the CB and I got a child's plain pasta and forced it down because that's what I thought I should do.
21:46:44 [FLSharon] Pixie, just how long were your standing around before the start?
21:46:46 [AliciaG] pixie, in your picture made afterward, what was that foil wrap thing?
21:47:06 [pixie] About 2 1/2 hours Sharon
21:47:27 [pixie] They give you a balnket to keep you warm
21:47:36 [AliciaG] dang! that's a long time...I feel many funny stories
coming on pre-race
21:47:39 [FLSharon] Holy cow!! 2 1/2 hours? can we nap?
21:47:40 [Sheryl] why couldn't you eat pixie? nerves?
21:48:01 [AliciaG] do you drive to the start, or does a Disney bus come to get you?
21:48:06 [FLSharon] Pixie did you get your official picture at the finish line?
21:48:06 [pixie] I was very nervous!
21:48:38 [FLSharon] Ok is everyone moving now?
21:48:41 [AliciaG] you've got it under your belt now, so I bet this time will be easier
21:49:01 [pixie] We got a bus. My son said if we had driven we could have stayed in the warm car longer. Then you're at the end of the startin line
21:49:08 [AliciaG] Sharon?
21:49:43 [pixie] I ordered the official picture and the video that has me crossing the finish line! It should be a hoot
21:49:45 [FLSharon] Alicia... Yes???
21:49:52 [AliciaG] So you can drive and wait to line up for a bit? Wonder why they line you up so early
21:50:06 [Sheryl] I think my worst part will be getting to sleep the night before
21:50:14 [AliciaG] I didn't know what you meant about moving now
21:50:23 [pixie] I'll really enjoy this one. I'll take more time to look around
21:50:40 [FLSharon] Alicia... 6000 people i guess. but i saw lots of marathoners running there at the last min.. not sure if they got in or not.
21:50:44 [AliciaG] was the course pretty flat?
21:50:57 [FLSharon] Oh, I met .. walking /running ...
21:51:00 [pixie] They have photos along the route. This time I'll look for them and smile so I don't look half dead
21:51:10 [AliciaG] Ah, OK. Sorry I was dense for a minute, lol
21:51:37 [AliciaG] you looked wonderful in the pics I saw
21:51:48 [pixie] I only got about 2 1/2 hours sleep because the Patriots were playing a late game
21:52:18 [Sheryl] yeah pixie, I thought you looked wonderful in your picture
21:52:26 [AliciaG] I've been getting in 2-3 miles 2-3 times per week. Soon I'll have my income tax refund and will join the gym. Right now it's hard to get out much with the baby
21:53:00 [pixie] Course was very flat which made it easy for me because I trained on hills
21:53:04 [Sheryl] I'm only doing 1 mile 3 times a week right now, but figure it will get better with spring and summer
21:53:10 [FLSharon] Alicia, I think you're doing really good..
21:53:30 [AliciaG] I'd like to get a longer walk in on the weekends, and start something for cross training
21:53:51 [pixie] I felt great after the race. I was on such a high!
21:53:53 [AliciaG] that is a great start, Sheryl
21:54:03 [FLSharon] Sheryl, that's great...
21:54:22 [FLSharon] Alica, that' s where the gym will come in
21:54:22 [AliciaG] what about the scenery? Did you get to see a lot of Epcot and MK?
21:54:26 [Sheryl] it's moe than I normally do, so I'm at elast doing that much
21:54:43 [pixie] You'll be fine Sheryl I wasn't doing that much at this time last year
21:54:50 [AliciaG] Yea, with my back I'd like to do something in the water.
21:55:16 [FLSharon] Alicia, bad back?
21:55:32 [Sheryl] Now what activitiesdo they ahve before or after the race?
21:55:35 [AliciaG] sometimes after I walk I can hardly move the next day.
I sure hope they find out what the heck this is
21:55:57 [FLSharon] Alicia, are you on concrete or asphalt?
21:56:22 [Sheryl] that stinks Alicia
21:56:37 [pixie] You go around part of EPCOT inside with the lights on, that's cool. You walk around the back side of EPCOT
21:56:39 [AliciaG] I've had nerve damage in both of my shoulder/arms, Sharon. Now it has manifested in mid back pain when I do anything. I'm great from the waist down, but we can't figure out what this new thing is
21:57:18 [FLSharon] Wow, so the water would be great for you...
21:57:29 [AliciaG] anything can be something as simple as sitting without having something to lean back against. Thank God my legs go fine, lol
21:57:40 [FLSharon] You guys do know that concrete is a no no for running, right?
21:57:54 [AliciaG] Are you entering the MK around openingtime? I bet tons
of folks cheer you on
21:58:00 [pixie] You enter the MK just after the CONT. go through the back come out at Tony's and go up Main Street
21:58:28 [AliciaG] woo hoo! I know I'll be in tears
21:58:45 [AliciaG] I'm walking on the paved path at our local park
21:58:56 [pixie] There were lots of people cheering in the MK
21:59:00 [FLSharon] I'll be too tired for tears! LOL...
21:59:17 [AliciaG] we need to really keep encouraging each other. It'll make the time fly, and be so much more fun
21:59:34 [Sheryl] And I'll be crying as the cart I'm riding in drives by you all...ROFL
21:59:46 [pixie] I thought I'd be in tears but I was too busy putting one foot in front of the other
21:59:49 [AliciaG] what did you feel like afterwards, pixie?
22:00:00 [AliciaG] ROFLMAO! Sheryl!
22:00:02 [FLSharon] Sheryl No way jose! LOL
22:00:25 [AliciaG] you are not going to be on the cart. you'll be flying on pixie dust
22:00:37 [pixie] I was sore getting up after I'd be sitting but nothing bad. Tylenol 8 hour is great
22:00:40 [Sheryl] I know, I'm jut teasing
22:00:57 [pixie] You'll be there at the finish Sheryl
22:01:22 [Sheryl] Let's hope my walking is better than my typing
22:01:39 [FLSharon] Oh yea, this tylenol 8 sounds great...
22:01:42 [pixie] One thing that I found very important is to become mentally tough. Some days are really hard and you need to get through it
22:01:52 [AliciaG] did you do much touring the day before, or just take it easy. I forsee a lot of World Showcase in my trip
22:02:17 [AliciaG] were the long training walks the hardest, or just the general grind?
22:02:55 [pixie] We toured the day before and took a rest day after the marathon. I could have toured I was just tired from no sleep and my body was confused
22:02:58 [AliciaG] I'm bound and determined to do this! I can't think of
a cooler thing to pull out and remind my kids about when I'm 80 than my
medal 
22:03:38 [Sheryl] I agree Alicia, and mainly want to do it because so many people don't think I can
22:03:40 [pixie] Keeping to the plan was tough because you can think of a million other things you would rateher do. You can't let down at all
22:03:51 [FLSharon] Alicia....ROFL
22:04:33 [pixie] I can't explain how proud you will feel. Your family will be proud too
22:04:37 [FLSharon] Pixie, oh I can see that happening.. the paranoia over not getting injured will perhaps motivate me..
22:04:39 [AliciaG] and you made a good point to me one time, pixie. You said the heighth of this training comes during the holidays. By then we'lll be so stoked it'll breeze by though
22:05:07 [pixie] Next time we'll have to tlak about the Expo where you get your bib #
22:05:31 [Sheryl] Right now we're thinking of flying in on Thursday morning before the race and leaving on Monday afternoon
22:06:05 [pixie] It is HARD during the holidays. It's going to be tuff on you that have young families
22:06:16 [Sheryl] But that may be extended
22:06:53 [pixie] Did I miss anything along the way you wanted to ask?
22:07:08 [AliciaG] darn chatroom froze up on me again
22:07:21 [Sheryl] As long as I know that pixie, and can plan I'll be okay
22:07:42 [FLSharon] Pixie.. we'll have lots more questions for the next time.. I think this will get us going...
22:08:04 [pixie] I hope others can make the next chat
22:08:15 [AliciaG] ugh!
22:08:28 [pixie] How often do you want to do this?
22:08:28 [FLSharon] Pixie.. so glad you already did this.. your info is great!
22:08:47 [AliciaG] we need to do this again. We can learn so much from
each other. Thank you so much, pixie!!!
22:08:57 [Sheryl] Yes Barbara, and I am so glad you are willing o do this again with us
22:09:09 [AliciaG] I know the support is important to me too
22:09:21 [pixie] You all can PM me anytime you have a question or need support. As I've said many times I'm not an expert, I only know what worked for me
22:09:25 [FLSharon] I'm not sure.. what about one month?
22:09:36 [FLSharon] or two weeks??
22:09:45 [AliciaG] that sounds good to me, Sharon.
22:10:04 [AliciaG] 1x a month to keep informed and plan some cool stuff
22:10:10 [pixie] Is Tuesday good or a weekend
22:10:29 [Sheryl] With spring coiming week nights are easier for me
22:10:35 [pixie] How long will you be there Alicia and Sharon?
22:10:52 [AliciaG] I'm thinking Thurs. - Mon. too
22:11:28 [AliciaG] If we can get childcare lined up, it'll just be me and John for a long weekend.
22:11:32 [pixie] Shall we poll everyone again?
22:11:44 [FLSharon] Oh it did it to me too...
22:12:08 [Sheryl] We'll ahve the boys with us
22:12:15 [pixie] I wish we could have a conference call!
22:12:17 [FLSharon] Weekends aren't good here.. most nites during the week are ok.
22:12:26 [AliciaG] I think that's a good idea, pixie. I really enjoyed tonight, and would like to do it again. Hopefully everyone can be here at some point
22:13:01 [FLSharon] NIte everyone .. no rest for the wicked ..got work to do...
22:13:06 [pixie] We will keep each other motivated and that will keep us going
22:13:25 [Sheryl] Nite Hsaron
22:13:29 [pixie] Tahnks for coming Sharon. Be careful!
22:13:32 [Sheryl] I mean Sharon
22:13:35 [AliciaG] We'll probably get in Thurs. afternoon. Do the parks
on Friday, slug around on Sat. (carbo loading in Epcot?)
then leave Monday morning
22:13:53 [AliciaG] Goodnight, Sharon. Good to see you
22:14:30 [Sheryl] I'm hoping to get the early flight out here, which will give us most of Thursday, all day Friday, then leave Monday afternoon
22:14:37 [AliciaG] alrighty, I'm off too. Thank you both for the
informative chat. (hugs)
22:14:59 [Sheryl] Was fun ladies, and I am so glad I decided to do this
22:15:13 [AliciaG] we will do it, Sheryl! Together
22:15:13 [pixie] Thanks Alicia I didn't need to breathe in the bag!
22:15:33 [pixie] I'm excited this is such a great group!
