I'm terrified that I'll be picked up by the sweepers, and I'd be grateful to hear anyone's experiences on this front.
Last September I registered for the 5K taking place during the Princess 1/2 Marathon weekend. I've been training for months and while I'm very proud of what I've accomplished so far, I still jog very slowly and cannot "run" the entire 5K. I've been using Jeff Galloway's program and it works well for me. Unfortunately, as of right now, I cannot complete the 5K in less than 58 minutes, which rounds out to about 18 minutes/mile. I've just found out that RunDisney states you have to maintain a 15 minute mile in order to avoid being swept. Needless to say I'm more than anxious about the situation.
I've had 4 knee surgeries and am very overweight. Throughout my training I've lost 30bs. and I went from not being able to jog for 30 seconds straight to being able to jog for an entire 10 minutes. This is a huge undertaking for me and a personal goal I want to achieve. I want to prove to myself and to my kids that I CAN do this!
Anyway, thanks for "listening" Again, would be very happy to hear if anyone has any input about those dreaded sweepers!
