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

[Jen117]

Christa, I can carry a picture of you if will make you feel better! Maybe it would make me speedier too!

 

[Big Vic]

This makes me sad! I want to do WDW!

​

Runaway from home. We'll hide ya.

Mel, let me know where you would like to be placed? Jen and Mel, what kind of run/walk ratio are you girls planning? I am still strictly walking right now, but I plan to try a run/walk next week to see how it goes.

Christa, you will definitely be missed. I think this is my last Disney marathon and I know already it is going to be really tough on me this time next year.

Lynnda, I commend you! I didn't lose my baby weight after my second for about 18 months, let alone compete in a half marathon!

Renee, your 4:30 definitely looks doable!

Bill, meet up with us at the start and adrenalin and excitement of the race will get you through!

Lily and Monica, good luck with the rest of the training. Lily, I too commend you for going Goofy for the 3rd time!!

Oh yeah, I'll be in the sweeper-avoidance group there are the end I'm built like a linebacker, so I'm happy to tackle when necessary DH (Adam) is along for the ride, so he'll be there too

I dream of being built like a linebacker. Unfortunately, right now I am built like a run stopping, two gap defense nose tackle. I am hoping to be able to go more than the 20 yards those guys seem to max out at before needing to come out of the game to get oxygen though.

Colleen--

Please put me in the 5:30 to 6 hour group. That's what I've been training for. I'm doing R4/W2 but I only maintain that for about 12 miles right now. I want to have fun and take pictures...I've never really done that for the last two halfs.

 

[MiniGirl]

Boy, there's a lot of us in the back of the pack. I'm thinking our bright shirts will momentarily blind the sweepers, and we'll be able to go right by.

Mel, I got you down!

I would love to run/walk with you and Jen, but I don't know if I could do a R4/W2. I think I would need a longer walking interval. I am going out for 17 miles tomorrow, so we will see what I can do throwing in a few running intervals, I hope I don't hurt too much.

 

[Jen117]

Colleen - I am training with a 4R/2W and 3R/2W. I am leaning more towards the 3/2 because I can maintain that for the longer distances. I am also like Mel and want pictures. I also want the freedom to be able to stop for a potty break and not feel like I am fleeing from the sweepers!!! I would love to have company for those 6 hours, so let me know!!!!

I can do a 3/2 if that works better for everyone. I have 18 tomorrow, maybe I'll try the 3/2 and see if it keeps me going longer.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Colleen, I am listed with the back of the pack group for the full, would you please add me to the back of the pack goup for the half as well?

Half
3:29 or a "bit" less--Tiger Lily 03 (Lily)

 

[Jen117]

Mel - with the 3/2 I have been under 6 hour pace, which gives me an hour pad. Tomorrow is 16 and I will try the 3/2 again. Sometimes I start with 4/2, but by 12 or so miles I start slowing down a bit. Good luck on your 18 and I would love to run with you again at WDW!

 

[Roxy]

Oh, cool pacing groups this is awesome. I was afraid of going this alone. This is great. Please put me down for the 2:30-2:45 pacing group for the half. For the full please put me in the 5:30-6:00 pacing group for the full. I cannot wait to see evryone there. Happy training!!!

[princessmomma]

Lily, I've got you down!

Roxy, welcome to the 5:30-6:00 pacing group. Mel, Jen and I are trying to work out a run/walk plan so we can keep each other company. What is your plan? Hopefully we can figure something out!

 

[Roxy]

I have done both run 3 walk 2 and run 4 walk1 and either works for me. I am just so excited to be in a pacing group.

[monte]

This makes me sad! I want to do WDW!

​

Christa...you're not going? I thought you and Bree were doing the full??

 

[Jen117]

Quick question... what if we are in different corrals? Will we/can we move to the same??? I noticed Mel is one corral ahead of me and I am assuming this will be the same for others.

 

[EPCOTDUDE]

Id like to pace with those running the half in just under 2.5 hours.

[Duanerice]

Put me in the 6-7 hour full.....closer to the 7. I want to get my money's worth.

Wow, that's exactly how I play golf - I try to get my money's worth so I take a lot of shots!

I am planing on finishing sub 5 hours so put me in the 4:30 - 5:00 group for the full please.
Thanks,
Duane
