Minne Marathon Team List

[missmissy]

I'm in the 15K (Missy & my aunt Debbie). This is my first time to do any race type thing. I made this my goal this year instead of losing a certain amount of weight.

My very first post! I'm in for 5K, staying at POP. I'm training to run the 15K, but not sure if I'm up for it yet, but will see in a few more weeks.

Well, I booked a room at SSR. So I think I am doing the Minnie. Now exactly WHAT I am doing is open.....

I am going to give it a week or so and see how my training is going before I committ to a 15K.

After reading some of the posts for the EEC and ToT, in which they don't provide transportation to the expo - do they provide transportation to the expo for the Minnie?

 

[wtpclc]

Nope. I think there's a bus fromMGM to WWoS, though. Not exactly a quick way to et there, but better than renting a car just for that.

okay-i'm a walker/runner and also do exercise DVD. I have done a couple 5k a few years back. I love disney, and this would be a way to get there...compete in the 15K minnie marathon. So today i go to the gym and run 7 miles to see if I can do it-i was doing 10 min. miles (oh, i'm in my late 40's)
Still how can i justify spending all that money just so I can run at disney...it sounds fun...my kids would hate me for going to disney w/out them

PLEASE TALK ME INTO THIS!!!!!

The best gift you can give your kids is a healthy and happy mom!

10 minute miles! Wow! I wish. LOL

Go for it. It will be an unforgettable experience.

 

[Cherylbug]

Anne--Could you add me and my cousin, Chropistopy (Christy) to the list for the 15K. 80 more days to go. That sounds so far away but it's really not. It will be here before we know it!!

You can do this! The race course is the last part of the marathon course. You get to run through MGM and EPCOT. The medal is so cute with the Mickey ears and Minnie bow. This is the last time for the Minnie Marathon ever. Your kids will not hate you. I have 4 DDs who love WDW, and I went to the Minnie last year for a girl's weekend without them. Were they happy? No, but I bought them some really cool presents and they found it in their hearts to forgive me. Join us!

 

[wtpclc]

OMG, if you can do 7 miles now at 10 min miles, you are golden! Heck, you could walk the last 2 miles, but you won't need to. I'm training fo a half on April 6 using MfM. My LR for teh weekend is supposed to be 7 miles. Adding 2.3 in 2 months is a no brainer. You must join us!


Is it working?

 

[Calcio]

Hello Anne

I am registered for this thing too. I saw that someone's 21 year old son was running so at least I won't be the only male in the field.

Going through some of the info here, particularly Lily's about clothing I have 2 answers I know many of you have often asked about:

1. If the temperature is about 60 I always race in a tank top, but I don't wear a jog bra, sorry, and

2. I find shorts more comfortable than running skirts, not that I've ever worn a skirt of any kind.

So there you are.

Thanks to all who have encouraged me to come and run.
I'm working on hubby...telling him it would be a great weekend get away for us. Oh, my teens love disney and will not be happy to see me go.

Forget you dh! Bring your best friend! Have the ultimate girls' weekend! (Yeah, had you told me to do that before January 07, I would have told you no way too. Luckily I had good WISHers convince dh he wanted no part of it. )

Craig thanks so much for clearing those questions up
You see now i'm intrigued- how can you find shorts more comfortable if you have 'never' worn a skirt

1. Minnie Marathon Tea,m is just all teh WISHers doing a Minnie event.

2. You must have a tic to watch from inside Epcot, but you can watch teh finish in teh parkign lot without one.

3. Check in yhow you're doing thread? You mean progress for training for it? We share all our training progress on teh wekely running/walking thread. Please come see us there and share how you're doing!
