5K in May

[DisneyAunt]

Hi All

I have been a DIS'er for a while now and have never looked at this board. I can't believe I have been missing all this info.

Anyway...I just recently lost 45 pounds !!! It really hit me yesterday when I was cleaning out my basement and went to move a 50lb bag of rock salt and couldn't move it. I realized all the extra weight I had been carrying around. I'd like to try and lose 40 more and then I would be content.

Which brings me to my new goal!! I decided to participate in the 5K run in May...I think it is the 5 or 6. And I just talked a few friends into doing the same. I am so excited!!! I have a friend who is a marathon runner and will help me train.

I used to be able to run 2 miles without a problem but that was over 10 years ago...I hope my body can remember that it used to enjoy a good run.

Any tips or advice would be great!!! Also...I was tryng to get all the info for the race and its not showing up on the Disney Web site....anyone have a link?

Thanks!!

Welcome to our group! You will love it here and you are making the best choice you can. It gets better from here on.

By the 5k in May are you meaning the one in WDW? I'm not sure if they offer one during the weekend they are doing the Minnie (10k) in May. You could check the sticky links at the top of this thread for info and links to some of the WDW events. When you link there are events that are offered in the World listed too. Sometimes 5ks are offered during their longer event weekends.

Stop over to the weekly walking/running thread to get some great pointers, help in motivation and maybe even get more info on an event you can plan with many of us there. We have all ability levels participating so you'll fit right in. Stop by and start posting there. We'd love to have you.

Thanks Tiger Lily

It is a DIsney 5K it is during the Minnie Marathon Weekend, my best friend and I are so excited to do this.....it gives us a goal and something to look forward to.

I hope that by next year I will be able to do a half marathon.
