I signed on with Team In Training to run/walk the half! WISH me luck with my fundraising. I'd love links to previous threads about where we run during the marathon, what it's like, etc!

There are a ton of links in a sticky post at the top of this forum. My personal favorite is www.disneyrunning.com. It has lots and lots of photos and personal reports from the various Disney races. I've not yet done a Disney event, but feel like I know what to expect just from the info on this site. Have fun reading.....it will take you hours and hours to get through it all.

Well..... it is OFFICIAL!! I am in!! I registered today, hopefully this will help keep me motivated in my running for the next 6 months!! I will be doing a run 4:30 / walk :30 interval. Hoping to stay around those 9:00 minute miles.

Also, put me and DS6 Michael down for the 5k on Friday. While running this we wil be doing a r4/w1 interval and keeping about a 14 minute mile, unless over the next six months he gets faster. He just saw the course map and realized that he has already run to "DinoLand" in his training. He actually screamed and hugged me and said he has almost made it back to the parking lot. Now if I can only keep that enthusiasm until January!!

We aren't sure where we will be staying at. I was hoping for AKL, but the way things have been with DH's company I am not sure if that is really possible. Especially considering the only 3 people who work in the company (DH, DFIL, and DBIL) will all be down there with us. I'll let you know as soon as I know something.

I will be doing the Full marathon (first timer!), and probably a combination run/walk.

I hope you find me way down here. This is my first time posting here. The half will be my first race of any kind. There will be 4 of us travelling to Florida to experience this together.

My screen name is rake5, my real name is Rachael, and I hope you all have a great day out there! There is so much to read here. Thank you all for your expertise.

[gsu1988]

Plans are final I am running the Full and staying at OKW Friday and Saturday nights.

 

[Honeibee]

Updated!

Wow, there are a lot of us staying at POFQ. Maybe we should have our own mini-WISH "beignet" meet.

 

[DianeL]

Judy? Which morning would that be?

GSU we'll be looking to see you around the resort How many WISH members can we fit on the bus Jan 13th's morning? LOL

 

[Honeibee]

I haven't even finished my January planning yet! HA HA! Too bad we can't get our own bus, with a big WISH banner on the side! Wouldn't that be something!!

 

[DianeL]

LOL over the bus. Do you think we're as a team getting big enough that soon we'll see on message boards.... don't go in January it's the time of year those people in bright safety yellow shirts visit? Don't stay at POP or OKW that's where they congregate LOL

 

[Honeibee]

Good one Diane!

 

[MouseDogMom]

I'm guessing a beignet isn't considered appropriate pre-race food? So do we get the beignet before or after the Kitchen Sink?

Diane - Some of us will be on the bus January 12th!
