Marathon Buddy

[LittleMissMickey]

Alright, I signed up for the WDW Half Marathon on Friday!!! I am VERY excited!

I was wondering if anybody would want to be a "buddy" with me on training for this that will also be there? I would love to work with somebody on this and help encourage another while encouraging myself to get better!

Please let me know if you are interested, by either responding here or sending me a PM.

Also, I need to get on the list of Wish Walkers? I don't know where to go, but I definitely want to see some of the group while I'm down there!

Thanks!

Hi Ashley!! Welcome to WISH Walkers!!!!

I also signed up for the 1/2....many of us did. I know that there is talk about starting a marathon training thread to keep up all motivated, and up to date with each other. I wouldn't mind being your buddy (if you want me ) but I will admit that my training hasn't started in earnest yet. I walked 2 1/4 miles this weekend, but at a leisurely pace. Let me know - sent me a PM if you want me.

Kamgen (Kamy) has a web site just for us WISH walkers. Here's the link...don't think it's up to date right now - she's had a lot on her plate.

www.kamvee.com/wishwalk.htm

If you haven't already - send her an email at kamgen@yahoo.com to let her know you're now one of us , and especially if you need accommodations - she's been working on a room block for us (not sure if there's more space left or not).

Again - welcome to our group!!!

HI little miss..............
I am signed up to, I wouldnt mind being a buddy.......lol
I have been training now for about 2 months.....
What I have been doing and what I plan to doon that day is run a mile then walk two minutes........I am up to 5 miles in just under an hour.
It really is a great technque.
Just as you think you can;t run anymore, your mile is up and you can walk/ rest for two minutes.
I am not sure i f you plan on walking but that pace would have to be 3.8 mph in order to finish the marathon in the time they execpt you to........
I tried this on the treadmill and it was real fast...( for me anyway)
O my, I am not trying to scare you , I am sure that almost everyone from WISH is walking it so that pace is definitely doable.....Just not for me.
Also, I have always wanted to jog......so I am using this as a reason to get started........
If you decided to jog/walk let me know.......if not thats cool to, we can meet up there anyway..
good luck
renee

LittleMiss--Welcome aboard! There is a thread just started that you can use as your "buddy" posts where you will find many responses. If you are looking for a PM buddy, most any and all of us I am sure will be ready to offer that as well.

Good luck with your training. I look forward to meeting up with you in January.
