It's time to sign up for pacing groups - Disney Half Marathon and Full Marathon

[AmyBeth68]

Thank you SO MUCH for volunteering to coordinate this Colleen . It's GREATLY appreciated, so cool of you to take the time to make sure everyone has a buddy to run with!!!

Scott (ScoJo15) and I can be put in the 2:30 to 3:00 Half Group and the 4:00 to 4:30 Group for the Full. Gotta' change the song..."A goal is a wish your heart makes, when you're running Goofy".

Please put me into the 2:15-2:30 HM group and the 4:30-5:00 M group.

DS18 thinks he will be in the under 1:50 HM group and the 3:00-3:30 M group

Thanks for coordinating! I'd like to be with the "savoring every last minute" pace groups:

3:15-3:30 Half Marathon
6:30-7:00 Marathon

Colleen - Thanks for starting this thread since it'll be here before you know it with the holidays on the horizon.

Can you put me with the 4:00-4:30 for the full ? However, if my leg acts up then I am right beside you with the walking pace.

 

[RedDragon]

Put me down for 5:00 - 5:30 for the full!

We will be right there with you Robert. Erica is going to be taking advantage of the photo ops and the animal petting. So if we hang with you and your lady we should be ahead of the sweep also.

That would be great. If something happens and I can't start/finish day 2, it would be great for Linda to keep her going. I am the "brains" of our walking duo. All she does is keep moving and follows my lead. I am concerned about her without someone around her.

I am still hopeful to be doing both races

I would like the 5:30-6:00 group... however I really want some photos this year because I was too chicken last year, so I may be slowed down a bit.

 

[princessmomma]

I *think* I have everyone down correctly. PM me if I don't.

I did receive a question about pacing and projected finish time, so I included the McMillan calculator in the first post.

Put me in the 2:45-3:00 for the Half. I've trained all season with Galloway to do this, plus I allowed extra time for pictures, so I'll cross my fingers and hope I can get it done!

Oh yeah! That 4:00-4:30 pace group is gonna be AWESOME!!! Can't wait!

 

[chimera]

I don't know which group to pick!

I think the 5:30 to 6 group based on time, but I really want to enjoy this and take pictures and not be so wrapped up in finishing in a particular time and I just don't know what to pick!

 

[Jen117]

Mel - I am the same way. I figure if I push for 6 hours, I have an hour extra for pictures or "in case" something happens. I really don't want to feel like death for my full marathon!!! And I hope others feel the same so that I don't have to go 26.2 miles all by myself!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Colleen, Thanks for coordinating this!

Please list me at the very back of the pack for both events. All you speedy people, I'll see you at the start. Enjoy your naps as I struggle over the line at the end. I'm hoping to get there. Training has been difficult for me this time around.

 

[rosy1020]

Please put me in the 4:30-5:00 group for the full. I'm secretly hoping for under 4:30 but I'm not too sure if that's possible right now. I guess a lot will depend on how the temperatures turn out

 

[Jodi]

Colleen - Hi! Please put me in the 2-2:30 group for the half & 4:30-5:00 for the full (although i think that's a bit optimistic). Thanks for coordinating all this, gee, you're not so bad after all .

 

[monte]

Please put me down for the full in 7 hours....I'll be bringing up the rear! lol

 

[nepatsfan73]

Notwithstanding ongoing physical issues, I still intend at present to give the half a go. Based on that, I would be happy and proud to be a member of the pacing group that includes those shooting for 3:29:59.99 and are prepared to run interference on the sweepers to aid us walking wounded in making it to the finish.

 

[HMHunters]

I am torn between 4:00 - 4:30 and 4:30 - 5:00 ... I'd like to do 4:30 and if I use the formula of 2 X your 1/2 time + 10 minutes that's 4:16 so 4:30 should be doable. But I want to be realistic and be happy (as opposed to disappointed) when I finish.

Is anyone else shooting for 4:30?

Renee

 

[crzy4pooh]

Colleen - Thanks for doing this!!! Please put me in the half group aiming for 3:29.59 as well. Between the PF and trying to train with two little ones, it will truly be a miracle if I get that ... but I'm still gonna try!
