Running disney??

I totally agree with this. Since DH is a runner, he ran it with me and told me the ins and outs of racing (I use that term lightly for myself! lol).

I mean, a WDW race is crowded and you do not stop running in the middle of the road! You move to the side and then walk.I can't tell you how many times people just stopped in the middle of the road!

Of course, the same things happens in WDW...you'll be walking along and BAM! Someone stops right in the middle of the road to check the stroller, look at their map, etc. etc. Ugh.

I think a lot of people do it who have never run before. I was one of them and left on my own, I might of reeked havoc but I had some direction from my trainer.

If you run 8 miles, you can *easily* do a 1/2. I mean, what's 5.1 more miles? When I trained for the 1/2, the farthest I went was either 8 or 9 so I "knew" I could go the 8 or 9. But could I do more? I remember seeing the 8 or 9 mile marker and sort of having a panic because I really was venturing into the unknown. DH kept saying, "If you can do 8, you can do 9. If you can do 9, you can do 10. If you can do 10, you can do 11..."

Of course, he's completed a full Ironman race (140.6 miles). But, he had me convinced. Same way he had me convinced I push that baby out.

Thanks! And congrats on finishing the half!

I just did the Royal Family 5k this year. It was fun and my first 5k. Give it a try!

My kids are super bummed we're missing the January events by a week. They really want to do the 5k!
