[Mrs D]

There are a couple of new posters in this thread so I thought I'd point out the little Boma meet for Friday 10/1 at 5pm.
Come join the fun!

I see the 1/2 and relay races are at Capacity, just curious does that mean full. Dont they say full like all the others races I have seen?

Hello all,

I'm new to the boards, and this will be my first half marathon ever, so I'm really excited. Just wanted to introduce myself

I've been running since April of this year and have done some 5ks, the longest I've ran without walking so far is 6.5miles.

This is an awesome support board and I'm so glad I found it!!

Before this week, I was averaging around 5 mpw. This week's mileage will be about 16. I am doing a half-marathon in 6 weeks. I better get crackin'.

Amanda, don't worry about being in the back of the pack. There will be several of us back there. Will you be wearing a WISH shirt by chance?

i'm not sure what im wearing right now. I train in a long sleeve running shirt made for hot weather right now but I’m hoping to wear my sleeping beauty running shirt that’s too small right now for the race.

If you can run 12 miles, a race setting will speed you up to less than 16 pace for 13, not a problem.

I'm a run walker. I run for a while walk for a while. I'm hoping for race time it will be all running. The bad part is I think I can walk faster than I can run

There are a couple of new posters in this thread so I thought I'd point out the little Boma meet (link in my siggy) for Friday 10/1 at 5pm.
Come join the fun!

I would love to join you but I’m getting off the Magic the morning of the race. I hope I won’t have too much trouble adjusting to not having the ship rock after being on it for 2 weeks.

I have another 12miler planned for tomorrow will let you know how it goes. My current weekly mileage has been inconsistent because of work and school (fulltime work and taking 16 credits). Monday is my last final until we start again Aug 25th so I hope to increase my weekly mileage. One of my classes for fall is personal fitness training so I will be my own guinea pig


Happy running

I just got this email! Soooo Excited!!!!

 

[stitchfan18]

Love the medal!

 

[hipporina]

Just got my email and am so excited! I just can't wait!

I don't quite understand the course map around mile 8. Is there a road there that curves and goes toward Hollywood Studios like they have shown? Anyone know if this is the way we went for the marathon?

 

[dislvr74]

Can anyone identify the three charms on the bottom of the medal? I think the first one is a wedge of cheese, but I can't make out the other two.

I love it!

I was wondering what the charms were too.

I'm a little frustrated that the water stations are at the odd numbered miles. I'm used to stopping on even miles. I don't need water at mile 1! I guess I'm waiting for mile 3.

 

[stitchfan18]

the one in the middle looks like the feet/ shoes that are in the logo

No idea what is on the right...

 

[goofyinohio]

I think the far right is grapes for the wine part of the deal.

Ok, that's what it is. So cheese, shoes, grapes.

That is the back entrance to the Studios- During the tower of terror race this is most of the course for the 6.5k did. Its kind of hilly

I'm a little frustrated that the water stations are at the odd numbered miles. I'm used to stopping on even miles. I don't need water at mile 1! I guess I'm waiting for mile 3.

I don't remember there being this much water on the other course but I've never done a 1/2 at WDW on volunteered at Princess half

Ok, that's what it is. So cheese, shoes, grapes.

Thats what their feeding us after the race

Love the medals- The email and the map is going on the fridge to keep me motivated. I will use the map tomorrow for my long run so i know what to look forward to each mile.

Keep Running only 9 weeks left

 

[roomthreeseventeen]

I wonder if they're going to put up an elevation map!

LOVE the medal (Epcot is my favorite park so I love that it looks like Spaceship Earth). Though, I'm not crazy about the charms.

I haven't looked at the course map. I don't know if I want to know! I kind of like being surprised as to where the course takes me.

I plan on wearing my Nathan Speed 2 hydration pack to the half. I've been wearing it on my longer training runs and it's nice to have everything right there (and I don't feel weighed down). I'm hoping the freezer part of the mini-fridge in my room will be able to freeze the water (I'm still debating on whether or not to just go all water and just stop for Powerade or to drive to a store when I get to Orlando and pick my favorite flavor up and make one bottle water and one Powerade).

Getting that email made me realize how much closer it's getting! 2 months from now I'll be in WDW!! (asleep )
