Good Morning Girls.

So I actually slept last night but didn't get to bed early enough to feel really rested. Oh well. Gonna be exhausted in a few hours no matter what I guess. :p

My thoughts are with Cathy and Posh today! GO CHEETAHS GO!!!! Wonder if our early bird Cathy is up yet? It's just about 4:30 in Chi-Town right now. Wouldn't surprise me if she is up! :)

I laughed when I read Christine's post about Carole falling off the bed and Christine tripping on the street. If I were there I'd have been ROLLING!:D That's the kind of stuff that happens to me, actually. :rolleyes: LOL

So how silly is this....because we were out last night and I didn't want to get to bed any later then I already was, I actually have to SHOWER this morning! Ya see, it's gonna be in the low 70's today so I will be donnin' the shorts which means I have to make sure I shave! OY.

K, let me get this posted and then I'll catch up on personals while I'm sippin' the liquid energy over here. :D
 
Gloria: Wow, that's the landscape you have around you? NICE! I'm jealous. I live in the 'burbs. BORING. LOL Ooooh BC/ME. Enjoy it. It's no joke! :eek:

Judy: So your DB won't be anywhere in particular that Shelly and I could find him and introduce ourselves? What's the farthest he's traveled to score a race?

Jackie: Is your neighbor's dog mean or just likes to chase things? I am sure she is annoying to have at your heels even if she's harmless. I HOPE she's harmless!:eek: Great job on the 9 miles! I wasn't HOPING to be pregnant. It would have been an "oopsie" BUT I can't say I would have been totally upset either. :)

Linda: Yeah I really hope I don't start cramping. Since I will be running with everything but the kitchen sink anyway (LOL), I think I will bring a few ibuprofen with me just in case! Thanks for the fanny pack idea. I am running with a fuel belt but my "supplies" won't fit in it. I would have freaked out wondering what to do if you hadn't mentioned a fanny pack. My son has a tiny red one and it's just big enough so I am going to wear that AS WELL as the fuelt belt. It's very small and very light so it won't really add any way which is nice. I basically have to TIE it around my waist because it's meant for a kid but thankfully there is a long enough strap to make it work at all. LOL I'm gonna be so concerned about my monthly today that I may never even give thought to my knee...I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing!? :confused:

Perhaps Cathy will check in quickly from her phone this morning? I have to remember to check the dvr for the marathon. I want to record it if it's being televised. :)

BB before I leave if I have time!
 
Hey there LaDonna! Yeah! I have to leave the house in 90 minutes. I like to get up early and have my coffee time before getting ready to go. :) Is your race TODAY too?
 
Well, the day is finally here for a lot of you guys! Sending a quick hug to you ALL! Good luck, stay healthy and strong! (I know, I know....I have said it a million times already :) )

Carole - How on earth did you fall of the bed, girl? :) Hope you didn't get hurt!

Wendy - I hope the fanny pack works well for ya! GOOO get 'em!

Gotta get ready to go run (literally)!

Can't wait for all the reports!
 
Good morning Ch-Ch-Ch-Cheetahs!

I've got just a few seconds here before I have to get packing and head out the door for Harrisburg today. I hope my boss brings his computer so I can check in tonight and get all the reports:D!

Wendy, Shelly, LaDonna - Go, ladies go!!!!! Wendy, I'm sorry to hear about Aunt Flo dropping by:confused:...I hope she doesn't cause any problems. I know you're going to have a fab race!!!!! {{{{{CHEETAH SPEED}}}}}} comin' your way! LaDonna, nice to "meet" you!

Cathy and Posh - Hey there ladies! I've heard that it's going to be a bit warm out there and I want you guys to stay safe, 'kay? Sending some serious {{{{{CHEETAH POWER}}}}}}} out to Chitown! Have a great race!!!!

Chitown Cheetahs - I hope you all are having a fantastic time! Christine, we expect a report as soon as possible:D!

Gonna get crackin' on the packin'. Maybe I'll be able to check in tonight. Have a good one!

Thanks ladies for all of the great vibes! I'm starting to get REALLy nervous now so keep 'em comin'! Can't wait to see Shelly! I'm sure she'll keep me kinda' calm by makin' me laugh!:)

A little high cheer from Chi-Town! Thinking of all our Jersey running Cheetahs and sending strong vibes for a fabulous run!!!

I will report back with a race report - abbreviated of course. I'll let Cathy do the honors. :eek::eek:
 
Up early this morning. My legs are fried and my calf is killing me. Just took some motrin. Going to get my foam roller as soon as the stores open. Good luck girls

Go Cathy and Posh Wendy And Shelly
 
Posh & Cathy, Shelly & Wendy & LaDonna

******Go Cheetahs*****

I am saying more prayers for a good race today for all of you!!!
 
Hi Cheetahs!!

I'm typing this from my Blackberry in the hotel.. I have to get DS ready for his game. DH left for DD's game already. First, I'm cheering hard for all the Cheetahs running today!!! I'm so happy I drove down to meet the girls last night!!! They are great!!! I'm so bummed I can't be there with the Chicago Cheetahs today. :( However, Posh showed me how to track them on my Blackberry. :) Thanks again Posh!! I may be able to meet up with them later depending how far DD goes in the tourney.
Karen, awesome job on your first half!!! Loved your recap. :) well, better go. I'll catch up on personals from the home computer. This was hard typing on these tiny buttons!! Lol bear with me if there any typos, etc. ;)
 
Thanks girls. Wendi, Jackie, Dallas, Linda and everyone else. It really was a great day. I'm sitting here just wondering how out girls are doing. Wendy and Shelly should be going off in about 3 minutes.

Off to get my foam roller before football.
 
Good morning Cheetahs!

Christine - Thanks for the Chicago report! Tell Carole to watch out for that mean old bed!

Wendy - LOL at you having to shower this morning. :D The neighbor's dog just likes to play. Just don't won't her running in the streets with me. She may get hit by a car. The strange thing is she barked at me yesterday which she normally doesn't do and then she wanted to play. Understand on the preggie! :D Good luck today!

Linda - Have a good run!

Wendi - Have a safe trip. Hope the boss doesn't work you too hard.

Karen - Hope the calf feels better. Taking it easy today I suppose?

Judy - Hi! How is DS?

Dallas - Good luck to DS today. Hope you get to meet the Cheetah babes in Chicago.

Rest day for me. Going to church and visit my mom. Then I'll enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Holiday for me tomorrow.

Go Cheetahs Go!!
 
Hey All - Quick post while Carole gets ready to run with Cathy! I figured I'd load some photos. Cathy and Thomasina passed the 10k point running strong. Her pace at 10k is 12:53 with a predicated finish of 5:37:46 (cool tracking device). I'll add more later.

Here are some photos

Cathy, Thomasina and friend Beryl outside of the hotel in morning:

And then just a shot of the "Bean" where we all managed to finally hook up yesterday after much amusement. It's basically a giant lawn globe shaped like a bean. It's very funny.

I wanted to add that we all soo enjoyed meeting Dallas - she's an adorable, sweet gal who is yet another example of an incredible Cheetah!!! We ROCK!!!
 
Quick update - saw Cathy and Posh at mile 17 and both are running strong! It's pretty warm today, so the times are slower than hoped, but they both were smiling and looking good. Carole is running with Cathy. I'm the cheer squad and have been trotting to various parts of the course to cheer them on. I'm about to head out to the 25 mile marker and run in with them.

Hope Wendy, Shelly and LaDonna are fairing as well!!!!

GO CHEETAH BABES GO!!!!!!
 
Go Girls. Your Awesome. Your in the home stretch now. Thanks so much for the updates Christine.

Got my foam roller and boy oh boy. I didn't realize how sore I was until I went rollin :confused:. Hopefully I will roll again later. I'm tried of crawling up the steps and walking like frankenstein.
 
Christine - Thanks for the update. Cathy and Posh look great!

Karen - Picturing the Frankenstein walk here. :D
 
Thanks for the update! I can't wait to hear how they did!!! Everyone looks wonderful!

Dallas - How cool that you got to meet up with everyone!

I will check back a little later. I finished my run several hours ago, but got home, went out to eat, came home did a little cleaning and laundry....I have "got" to lay down for a little while! We ended up doing 24.6 miles. It felt good :)

BBL!!!! Anxiously awaiting news from everyone!
