I am planning on the full in 2010!!! (and possibly going goofy)It would be a great race to use as a training walk or run.

So, how did everyone do on their 2nd day (XT) of the MTM plan?? I did yoga.

Rest day today - i will enjoy that, while i am watching Ghost Hunters on TV.


Now, my MIL called me today, and told me that Disney called and asked her if she wanted to take advantage of that 4/3 package offer.. But, that would mean moving hotels from the Poly to the Grand (Sugarloaf).. ( Believe me, i am a MUCH more of a Poly girl) - as there were no Conceirge rooms left to add on at the Poly..
and that would mean my dd missing 3 more days of school.. We have annual passes, so park passes aren't an issue.. and the plane tix can easily be changed..
I have to wait to talk to dh and see what he says, he's not going, but he might be upset at my dd missing 5 days of school (verses 2) . It's a catch 22 for me.. LOL I would love to go for the 7 days, but i am not a huge Grand fan.. I will miss the Poly. I have the 4 days extra for vacation from work.. so i don't have to worry about that.. hmm.. what to do....

I;m so excited about this race all of my medals so far are race cars, bridges, chef's hats, etc nothing really cool and girly! I'm running the Gasaparilla marathon in Tampa the Sunday 3/1 before so i won't be real peppy but i'll finish!

We will be staying at Wilderness Lodge.

Ladies, so glad I found this thread! I signed up the day I saw the announcement. My husband and niece have done the full Disney Marathon and two half marathons, it's my turn now! Well my niece is joining me too. I want that medal in my own shadowbox. We are staying at Beach Club Villas from the 6th 'till the 11th. I'm not a runner, but am trying to become one. I'm up to five straight miles now, 2x a week and feel great. I wish I had more time to train, but such is life. I hope to be able to run at least 8 miles straight without stopping and speed walk the rest . . . can I do it??? Looking forward to starting on page one and working my way through this thread.

 

[Caitsmama]

Welcome nancy!! Glad you found us!!

 

[Caitsmama]

Well, i am thrilled to report that we extended our vacation from 4 nights to 7! Thanks to the WDW deal!! We also got a call today, and my MIL was able to get Poly Concierge after all!! We took a garden view instead of lagoon view, but we get to keep the Poly instead of the Grand! I am soooo happy!!!!!!! I also switched out plane flights yesterday and got a $75 credit from SW!

I am probably going to do the Gasparilla 1/2!! (I live near Tampa) At least I don't feel like the only crazy person doing 2 big races back to back!

Hello ladies! Just checking in to see how everyones first week of training went. Pretty good here. My 2 mile run today was s l o w! It was 34 when I went out this morning and ran at about a 15 min pace. Def. not my best!! Here's hoping next week is better!!

 

[joan4mickey]

I'll start training this week. I did get in about 30 miles last week. My DD is home from college and she is training with me. The older DD may be out (as far as the half marathon) as she came home at Thanksgiving with mono.

Oh Joan! I hope your daughter feels better soon. I had mono in college and it really took me awhile to get over it.

Hey Lady WISHer Princesses!!!
Sounds like everyone is getting started on there training! Great, keep at it and get in those miles. Today as part of my WDW Half Marathon training I did 12 miles. It went pretty good. Did my ice bath in the pool water as it was about 70 degrees and saved filling the tub with water and ice.
Keep it up ladies!!

First week down! I'm trying to keep it at about a 14 minute pace. It's not a challenge for me yet, so I'm trying not to be over confident. Pride before the fall and all that.

Joan: Hope you DD recovers soon!

Tracy: 12 miles! Good for you!

Oh, boo-hoo.. 70 degrees... As i look out my window and see the first snow of the year, and they are talking single digit windchills for tonight..

That is very scary in my book. One reason I live in FL - the other is to be close to Mickey!!

We were down in the teens last night. It was 23 when I got up to run this morning. It was cold but the sunrise was amazing! There was still a little snow on the ground. That 30 min flew by!
I don't know about the rest of you but I really hate this crazy weather. They are calling for showers Tues-Thurs and highs in the 60's!
