Michele, in Jersey. If funds allow, would LOVE to do the HM in 2008. I run/walk. I am slow as molasses, but I eventually get there.

Lord willing, I will complete my first HM end of April here in Jersey (Long Branch Half).

Judy?

You have me on the list twice for the Full. Please please please please don't make me go the distance twice! I managed to get Susan talked out of the Goofy thanks to Paul and Daniel backing me up (thanks Guys! LOL) so pleeeeeease don't make me do a double full.


Never mind me, I'm just being wacky

If you end up deleting one of me please leave me on the number 6 spot because I'm ahead of Susan and I must be ahead of her. i like the fact that the race hasn't even started and i'm already ahead of her Now I'm off to rub that in her face, perhaps THAT will get her tush to the park this weekend LOL

Happy training!!!

Hi Judy! I'm going for the full this year.

W/R Not sure where I'm going to stay.

 

[sk8ingmom]

DH (Steve) is up for the full. We'll be at SOG.

I can't run, but I will be there in WISH gear cheering for all of you!

 

[drdelsol]

drdelsol ( Alvo) I'm in for the Goofy. I'm still recruiting friends for the runs so I'll be going at whatever pace gets us across together so probably run/walk. Will wait until discount codes come out to decide staying versus driving over.

 

[Honeibee]

Steve and everyone else new to the Dis or WISH boards. You're all welcome to join us on the weekly walking/running club threads. Most everyone there is training for some type of race, most of us for marathon weekend. We'd love to see all of you there. Just click on the link in my siggie!

Hello everyone! I am new to this board but not to the DIS. I am very seriously thinking of signing up for either the Donald or Mickey in '08. My daughter ran her very first full marathon this past January at WDW and I was never so impressed in my life. It was so awesome being a spectator and I kept thinking that being a participant would be even better. I have never done any sort of a marathon in my life and due to a previous back surgery I am not supposed to run. But I can walk pretty fast. I started training in January and have gotten up to walking 12 miles over gently hilly terrain in about 2 hours, 50 minutes. I have signed up for the Lehigh Valley 1/2 Marathon in Allentown PA on 4/29 and I am doing it with another DISer and fellow cruiser. Here's my dilemma: when I started training, I had no idea what I could or couldn't do so the half marathon seemed almost impossible. The fact that I am up to a fairly easy 12 mile trek after only 5-6 weeks of training is much better than I expected. My original plan was to do the Donald in '08 and the Mickey in '09, but I really think i'll be up for the Mickey this January. It's a long way to walk, but I think I can do it....especially at WDW! I don't mind the training itself but it is EXTREMELY time-consuming and I don't know if I want to devote another year to it....especially if the 1/2 is not going to be that much of a challenge. Does anyone have an opinion about what i should do? I would like to wait until the Allentown 1/2 marathon is over so I can assess my performance, but by then it will be almost May and I'm afraid the WDW races will be closed out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

You have plenty of time to train for the Marathon. If you have already have basiclly done a 1/2 with a good time. I believe you will have time to register for the Full in May but couldbe close. I would just watch the Board to tell you when it gets close.

You are on your way to having a great race in Jan. The top secret medal will be great

 

[jeanneg]

How can we tell how close the races are to being at capacity?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

You can go to the race website which will tell you what % capacity it is (http://www.DisneyWorldMarathon.com), my website, or the WISH Forum. There will be lots of chatter once the % is starting to move close to being full.
