Ironcrew Bracelets sent today..

[Running Mommy]

For those of you who took me up on my offer of one of my silly little bracelets, I sent them out today. One even went over the pond to ms. Twilkas! I had a request from down under, but no address.. I'd be glad to get one down there if you still want it. I think it was crazy canuck..
And for those of you who may have missed the thread. I made a bunch of bracelets for my supporters or -Ironcrew- as I call them. I offered to send one to anyone who wanted to join the crew. I still have a bunch left if you would like me to send you one. Just send me a pm w/ your address and I'll get it out to you asap.
They are just silly little bracelets w/ glass beads that have my motto on them "be iron". I also made some Ironman AZ ones, so a couple of my far away friends got one of those- kinda like a souvenir.

And to the spam warriors- don't worry- I'm not selling them! And I'm not selling peoples addresses either! It's just for fun.
I would never sell out my new TE buddies!!!!!

OMG Lise... For some reason I don't think I sent yours?? I knew I was forgetting someone! OY!! And the Chicago contingent- can't forget the chicago contingent!! I'll check my list! How could I have forgotten LISE??!! OY! I'm LOSING My MIND!! Please don't take it personal- this IS MEEEE!!!! My ironnerves are frayed!!
Don't worry Melisa, I'll have some on hand for you here. BTW- I'm hosting a dinner Thurs evening before the race at Uno's in Tempe for my TNO buddies. If you want to join us your welcome to join the fun. My husband and son will be there as well.

[Lise]

You've got my address, right? If I slobber on my mailbox for toooo long, it'll rust! L.

[Running Mommy]

Ok, so batch #2- INCLUDING LISE went out today. Even got C-mac in at the last moment. Literally caugh the mail guy in action....
Oh my oh my, it's getting CLOSE! I'm starting to not just have nervous episodes, but I'm pretty much on edge constantly now! I keep forgetting things, can't concentrate. OY! All this angst for a silly little race!!! My first marathon didn't even do this to me?! Go figure!!
Doesn't help that I've suddenly discovered 3 other people in my hood that are racing! Saturday one of them said something about the nice weather and when I remarked "yeah I just hope it's this way in two weeks!" he said "Your doing IM too?? So are we!!!" So now everytime I see one of them we have to stop and kibbetz (sp? my yiddish is horrible) about the race...

[ladyfish]

Thanks Denise! I'm proudly wearing my "Be Iron" bracelet. I'll "Be" thinking of you from now until the race. Great race day vibes in the works!!!

Is there any stations that might be broadcasting the event? Let us know!!!

[Running Mommy]

WOW! That came fast! I just sent them Saturday. Holy smokes, the mail literally FLEW to you!
Of course when it's something you really really need- no dice! It takes FOREVER!!

[tprevost]

How cool are these??!?!?!?!? My 6 year old wants to take his to school for sharing! Very cute Denise, we will wear them proudly

I was going to email you to see if you had boys, girls, or a combo and never did... Glad I made them sorta "gender neutral" for the kiddies. heh heh heh
My son had me make him one as well! I would think boys would run the other way at the sight of a beaded bracelet?? Go FIGURE?!
Glad ya like them. I make them as my way of keeping my mind off the atters at hand! lol

[tprevost]

the "cool kid" bracelets we got were blue and red so they work just fine Hopefully they won't be completely worn out before we get there!

[Lise]

Cracks me up that three other people in your neighborhood are doing it and you never knew! How great to have people to discuss every little detail with. Did you say silly-little-race?! Oh no you didn't!!! Whacks with wet noodle! Sounds to me like you're acting iron-normal at this point! The night before I ran the marathon, I looked at my training log and thought, "This is all lies. I did not run these miles." Sigh. Madness.

You are an Iron-soon-to-be, and the crazies are all part of it. Hang in there. Looking forward to my bracelet! L.

[CorsairMac]

woohooo I'm on nins and peedles until mine gets here!! I keep telling ppl I know an Ironwoman - NOW I'll have something to SHOW them! Thanks RM - keeping you in my thoughts!

[Running Mommy]

Now C-mac... Don't go JINXING me!! I'm still a "wanna be" or a "gonna be" depending on my ironman swim fear laced mood at the time!
I was thinking today how the one thing that is going to get me through the race is knowing that I have a ton of people keeping track of me on Ironmanlive.com. And that Tracy drove her and the kiddies all the way from so cal to see silly old me race! I can't quit, I won't quit, I'm gonna be tough ... If they kick me in the face in the swim I'll whack em back!!
You know I actually did that at a race I did last year. They started the women 35 and over right before the youngin boys 18-24!!! So of course all these young pups swam up and over me exactly 3 minutes after we started! grrr But I decided to hold my ground and not be intimidated. So I whacked em back and gave a few strong kicks backwards and I did just fine TYVM!! In fact I PR'd the swim!!!
Like my mad dog strong ironman lady faces??@!! grr... go get em girl!!!
