With time and training, you will. But beware, finishing one will have you thinking about more, including the Coast to Coast. The Star Wars 1/2 will be my fourth 1/2. The first two were at Disneyland and the 3rd was at WDW, with numbers two and three being my Coast to Coast.
I did it last year the same way -- it worked out well, and I had an absolute blast 
We have the same schedule
For you coast to coasters, I hope you enjoy wearing your WDW race shirts at the Disneyland races and parks the following weekend. Doing so sure made me happy. Also, I enjoyed packing only a few shirts, anticipating the race shirts to come, and, as each race was conquered, I would wear that race's shirt as my reward
Question for you since you did it last year ~ did you do anything in between weekends? I most likely flying out 1st flight Mon morning, so I was thinking Mon night a short walk to get blood moving especially after flying back across country, yoga/stretching Tues and then 4-5 Wed.
You'll finish! The disney races are so much fun and a lot of runners/walkers are encouraging along the course as well.
Less packing will be a huge plus, especially the weekend before! And a picture in front of the castle with all the medals on Sun will be a definite!
Half the fun of running is dressing up anyway...
I think your plan sounds great. Keeping the blood moving after hard runs helps me quite noticeably. You may feel you need the shake-out run you mentioned of 4-5 miles on Wednesday. On the other hand, your body may recognize how ultra-fit it is at that point and not pester you for a run. I don't believe you will need the run for fitness sake.
I did not do any running between weekends. I love running (no kidding?!) and yet didn't feel the slightest need to do any at all between race weekends. I had toured the parks **hard** everyday from the Tuesday I arrived in Orlando, each race day after the races, and then the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday after the Dopey. I flew to Anaheim on Thursday and continued the park touring there, and managed to do very well in the Tinker Bell races.
For recovery, in addition to miles and miles of walking, I did 20 minutes on/20 minutes off icing of my quads and hips once or twice a day (big garbage bag with ice alternating on the quads, then under the tush to get my arthritic hip joints). I also used a grid roller and a stick roller, but only when I felt something tightening up (mostly one side of my neck).
I hope you will post up your strategy and how it goes -- I certainly enjoy picking up tips from others.
Are you opposed to a prequel trilogy female character? Episodes I-III feature more girl characters. Padme Amidala (Leia's mother), and Jedi Knights Stass Allie, Adi Gallia are also human. If you want to go for non human, Jedi Knights Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, and Ahsoka Tano from The Clone Wars also come into the mix. While Padme and Ahsoka will be the most famous, my guess is that many runners will recognize the others. What can I say? I'm a Star Wars geek.
By the end I wanted to (and did) break 2:30. After the race we saw DH's niece who had gotten the coast to coast medal and that is some nice bling! Yep, they sucked me back in and I signed up for this and hope to do the W&D 2015 too to get the Coast to Coast.
) but January works better than May for us(Aug doesn't work at all) so this was our best option for the West Coast. Good luck to all the runners experienced and newbies!
No worries. While I like the prequels (in fact Qui-Gon is one of my very favorite Star Wars characters), I think the original trilogy movies are better. What I don't understand is the crowd who thinks the prequels are far superior to the original trilogy, but that's another matter.
I understand that. I will probably never do the Tinker Bell 1/2 unless a loved one really wants me to do it with her because I'm not that big of a Tink fan. But when my mom showed me a vlog of the Tinker Bell 1/2 from a you tuber she follows, I wondered about the possibility of running through Disneyland in the dark. Then I decided I'm so slow I'd probably not get to do that anyways.This is SO true! I had wanted to do a half, just to be able to say I did it. That was the Wine and Dine, 2013. I started with about the same goal, to cross the finish line on my feet and to be breathing.
We aren't really a Stars Wars fans (sorry
