1st WDW Half Marathon!

[jlawall]

Ok, I did my first Half Marathon in February and average 15 minute miles....I'm hoping to do better next January......I'll be training.....and I was wondering....if anyone else will be joining me? If you are a more of a walker instead of a "runner" and you are going HM at WDW this year, please join me! We will train together and share our triumphs and setbacks Who's in????

Congrats on your accomplishment!! a 15 min/mile pace is not one to poo-poo! I'm going to move your thread to the Events sub-board you'll find at the top of our forum and there you will find LOTS of training chatter.................

The best things about your accomplishment are that you have the confidence that comes with having completed the distance and knowing that continued training will allow you to decrease your running times.

Good luck at WDW, I'll be trying the full for the first time.

Wow! Good luck, tiberius! My DH did his first while I was attempting my first HM. He had trained seriously and did an amazing first M (less than 3:30.) I work out at a gym, but never considered doing a 13 mile race. It was a whim and I did exceed my expectations. I am hoping that I can push myself to speed up alittle and of course, loss some weight during this process.

More and more I'm reading that the regular long-term exersize is the most beneficial part of all this...............best wishes!
