I have been doing some serious soul searching the last few days regarding WDW Marathon weekend. While I definitely want to do a full at WDW, it was also very important for me to have my husband & kids at my first full marathon. I have chosen Rt 66 in late Nov as my first full marathon as it is close to home & they do a special "My First Marathon" medal. Rt 66 was also where I did my first half marathon in 2013. Here is where the soul searching has come in...I do not know how my body will react to a full. 26.2 miles is no joke & while I really, really want to run Goofy (1/2 & full) in 2015, I am making the decision to hold off on that until 2016. Looking at multiple websites & talking to many people the last few days, everyone is suggesting it might be too much, too quick. So, I am looking at the half & possibly 10K during Marathon weekend in Jan, then I can still be good to go for a full weekend at PHM.
I think it would be amazing for you to have your family there when you cross the finish line at your first marathon...a special moment and more reason to be proud of mom. A great memory for them...and Goofy aint going anywhere anytime soon!
