Goofy 65% Full after 5 days!!!

[lenshanem]

What is the half and full at now?

Is there somewhere I can keep an eye on this?

Thanks Robert for the heads up!

I really thought we'd have more time this year since they added 1,000 spots. Oh well! So much for mailing in the application for Chad and saving some cash. I just registered him online.

They will post regular updates on www.disneyworldmarathon.com so keep checking there

How do you train for Goofy specifically? I don't plan on Goofy in 2009 (can't do Disney Marathon weekend in 2009 at all) but do planning on doing another 1/2 in 2008 (San Antonio Rock and Roll) and a full either in San Antonio or Austin in 2009 and then MAYBE, MAYBE Goofy in 2010 or at least Mickey.
But I wouldn't begin to know how to train for a Goofy?

(plus we all know our plans pan out EXACTLY as we want them to )

I found this plan for walkers:

The Avon walk is the same format as the Goofy. I'm sure there are running plans out there, too.

DH signed up for another Goofy today in '09. He did the 5K, 1/2 and full this year giving him a total of 4 medals and 4 tees. He makes it seem extremely easy. He was sick since Dec. 6th and still had no trouble. It is very hard on a body--esp. if there is heat like in '07. Good luck to everyone who is doing it. I think y'all are Goofy!

But the medal was beauitful this year.

I book-marked that sight. Thanks so much!

My DH ran the Goofy this year (his first marathon). We jokingly call the running of the 3 races "The Dumbo". I just told him that registration is at 65% and he hoped he had more time to think about last year. On the website I didn't see where it shows the percentage full. Am I blind or am I not looking in the right place??? Thanks. Good luck everyone.

Here is where the % is (so far the only one is for the Goofy)

Thanks. I think I looked at every tab but that one

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up! I just registered today.

I will jump on the bandwagon with cautionary tales about doing the Goofy. This was my 5th 1/2 marathon and first full marathon, and I felt only moderately prepared for doing 26.2 miles after doing 13.1 the day before (and the 5K the day before that). It was really stressful. In the end, it was great and I'm SO happy that I did it, but there is a reason it's called "Goofy."

Disney only starts to list %'s when they hit 50%. The 1/2 and full won't have anything listed for at least a few more months. There is lots of time before they will fill. The Goofy will probably be full tomorrow
