Marathon Training THread 11/21-11/28

Thanks, everyone!

I will look for that book. It sounds like just what I need to get over this down in the dumps feeling I have.

I already bought a shirt that I had printed up. I have "I finished the Half Marathon at WDW on January 9, 2005" on it! That was several months back when I thought there was still a chance! I hung it on my bedroom door supposedly to give me motivation to lose weight and get training. I planned on wearing it in the parks on 1/10/05. Oh, how I wish I'd had them put I STARTED....., instead of I FINISHED....etc.!! Then I could still wear it and not be lying! Or if I hadn't had the date put on it and do end up finishing it some year! Oh well, I don't think it'll fit me now anyway!

I am looking forward to meeting all of you! I'll be the fat, slow (probably limping) one.

Debbie,

Don't give up yet. As others have already mentioned read "Marathoning for Mortals" - excellent book.

Also don't forget that there will be 1000's of people cheering you on, and other walkers will encourage you as well.

Walk as far as you can, but don't be embarrassed to stop walking, you are not giving up, you are knowing your limits!

As John Bingham says "Getting to the start line takes more courage than finding your way to the finish.

Sending pixie dust your way - do what you can and be proud of yourself!

Hi Jackie

I had a reservation at Pop, but wasn't able to get an AP discount there. So, now I'll be at All Star Music.

Thanks, Rachael!
