Marathon Weekend 2020

[DopeyBadger]

#WhereDreamsComeTrue



Decided to go ahead and pull the trigger now. I've signed up for the marathon, my mom is in for the half marathon, and Gigi is in for her first one mile race. Excited to be back for the Disney marathon and excited to give a sub-3 marathon another attempt.

Awesome! I’m really thinking I’ll eventually sign up for the marathon, but I’m not ready to pull the trigger yet.

As of 1pm today I'm in for the Half!!! I'm really excited! Haven't done a Disney race since the Tower of Terror Ten Miler!

Will be great to see you again!

I was going to wait until Sept/Oct. Always had the intention of possibly cancelling the trip if another injury cropped up or something. But Steph said we're going regardless of how my training goes, so might as well sign up now and be committed. Now comes the fun part, the training!

Yes! We’d definitely have to try to do a meetup!

Yes! We’d definitely have to try to do a meetup!

For sure. The family is trying to pre-plan the meetups with our theme park days as much as possible. I should be at Hurricane Hannah's on Friday, HM finish line until around 8:30-9, M pre-race at 3:40am, and maybe pop-in to DATW on Monday. So I'm sure we will cross paths!

 

[Calfan]

I'm in for the Half!

 

[courtneybeth]

Six star finisher (hopefully) in Chicago. dopey is the victory lap of fun

So excited to see you too

 

[broadsheet]

In for the full! My first!

DH here: I can remember when I hoped the lap counter on the treadmill for the virtual 5k loop would go from 0 to 1 and I'd keep running. I'm in for my first ever marathon, as part of Goofy and the Castaway Cay Challenge.

DW is returning to WDW for her "revenge": she's in for the half and the Castaway Cay Challenge.

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

DW was told no more running several months ago by her sports medicine MD. Recently, he "motivated" her to seek the ortho consult he recommended last fall. The ortho, upon hearing she WAS running without pain or swelling, and after x-rays, exam, and confirmation of cross-training, has CLEARED HER TO RUN!

Belated DW March miles: just over 30.

Now paging @DopeyBadger to the white courtesy phone...

In for the full! My first!

I did my first full this year at Disney, it was awesome. My goal is to do the Dopey, but won't register until late summer.

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

It's gonna be hard to top DATW 2019, but I'm brainstorming some ideas ...

Considering DCL DACC? (drinking around Castaway Cay)

My sister decided the 10K was a good substitution for my nephew and got him signed up before it sold out. We are all confident he can do that distance, but think it is a little too much for my niece right now. If some 5K spots open up later in the year we will try to get them registered but we are over the disappointment; even if we're all still a little shocked it went so fast.

 

[Disney at Heart]

@DopeyBadger So glad to have you coming back! DH and I are signed up for Goofy this time.

Wait, you're both running Chicago?? Yay, I didn't think any other Dis'ers were running it this year!!

As far as MW 2020, I can't make a decision on that yet...boo.

 

[regul8ter18]

Sounds like a few of us are running Chicago!

Yes! My first time running Chicago and a marathon outside of Disney.

So has race retreat gone away?

Someone on FB emailed RD last week and they replied(!) it would be added later.
Makes me wonder about the "early expo entry" aspect since that became a big deal last year and they were almost forced to add it.
