 Wanted to say thank you for all the great and encouraging responses I got to my "Toot Toot" post.  Well I bite the bullet, took your collective advice and signed up for my first 5k.  June 24th  so as long as I keep going I should be ready for it.  Thanks for your words of wisdom and (although my knees is shaky figuratively speaking) I put my money where my mouth is and now i have to do it!

Have you ever been to the WISH boards on DIS.  There is a competition board that talks all about the Disney races.  I love to help anyone with questions about the disney races.  If it is something that you want to do, it is well within your grasp.

I have done a bunch of disney races and with more $, I'd do them all!  Good luck.

YES!!!!

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
