Any DVCers doing the Half Marathon in January?

[Lynn5700]

Tim and I are doing it..just curious to see if any of you are as well.

We are probably not going to use points and stay at the POLY. Where you all planning to stay? We want to stay at a monorail resort so it is easier to get to the race the day of. We didn't buy points into BLT so oh well lol. Not an option.

Lynn, Dale & I are doing it. I am doing my first 1/2 marathon in May (with Cam of course) and then hubby is just starting and working up to do the 1/2 in January. And from talking to Cam, there are lots of DVC-ers who do the marathons. Can't wait to see you. I just booked us (our dd is going to go too) at AKV in a value studio (cheapest points) for the weekend.

YAY that is awesome Patty! Tim is starting to train too.

I can't wait. I'm registered and ready to go and I have been doing great with my training. I'm going to be doing a 5k in March 8k in June and a 10k in Nov...if I can find a 10k before Nov then I will do it sooner.

I am doing it. Currently at AKV but I am going to try to change to OKW at 7 months.

Disney makes transport for this VERY easy from anyplace.

my DF is doing the race, and I am currently thinking about it, we have both been working out and running so we shall see. We are staying at THV!

DH and his three BFF's are doing it. They'll be staying at BWV. And I'll be stuck at home huge and pregnant (hopefully!)

Not sure about next year; I've done it the past two years. We stayed at SSR this year. The buses that they provide for marathon transportation are great. The morning of the race they had them lined up at the resort. I wouldn't worry about having to take the buses to the race or the expo. Getting back after the race was a different story though...

I am! I have been training since Jan 1st! Although I just hurt my knee on Wednesday and I am in panic mode about it. My fiance and I are already registered and booked our Kidani savannah studio. It better not be something serious

We're doing it and making it a family vaca with DW's family all at once.

I'm doing the Goofy!!! I must be crazy. We're staying at BLT. It will be our first stay there. I can't wait!!!

 

[mickeymorse]

DW and I are both running the half. It's going to be our 1st trip without the kids. Just don't tell them.

 

[Lexxiefern]

I am running the goofy. We will be at BWV and are hoping to add on a few nights at BLT (MK view). It is a really fun weekend!

 

[Lynn5700]

Awesome!!! It's great to see some of you doing it. I'm so excited!!!

 

[Sandy321]

On the event/comp forum there are a lot of WISH'ers that do the race and have meets (usually the Monday after the full the meet is at Boardwalk) - so much support - its a lot of fun to share it with so many others!!

 

[SamSam]

I am doing it! It will be my first 1/2 and I'm very excited about it.
We will be staying at AKV.
If you go here http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=109 you will find a whole lot of folks to support you.

 

[Lynn5700]

Awesome!!! that is so cool! The meet sounds fun too I'm meeting up with a bunch of my Disney Bride friends too. A bunch of us are doing the half marathon.

 

[Pennyguy23]

You can count me in on the full. If I can talk my wife into the half I might be doing both. But I don't know about that? But she has to let me know very soon. Goofys almost full.

DH (ScubaD on the boards), DS, and DS's girlfriend are doing the 1/2 marathon and DH and I are doing the 5K. I'm not as adventurous! We are staying at AKV. Friends of ours may also be joining us.

 

[Lady V]

We are!! right now I am still trying to decide which one to do! the kids want to do the kids one-I think it is a mile? and my mom is doing the 5k. I can't decide if i want to do the 5k or the half. Well...I want to do the half but don't know if i will be ready for it! Can't decide where to stay either!! but I am excited about it!

I am! It is my first half marathon. My mom (also DVC) is also doing it as well as my MIL and FIL (DVC members, too). DH has done the half twice (2008 and 2009) and will do the full marathon in 2010.
