I'm not so sure on the race thing....I missed 9 years of Navy PT tests because of my knee, hip and ankle (10% disabled in each, according to the VA). The nice thing about the couch to 5K is that it is gradual, so if something does start hurting again I can scale back easily. No pain from a week of Disney seemed like a good sign, though It is a nice thought, though. Maybe if they have a 5K

Actually there are three 5K's now, one at each of the full and half races, and the Everest one. Though that one almost works out to an 8K as you are running back through the park again looking for clues.

Good luck! i've trained for a few 5ks and half marathons, its not easy at first but once you get motivated you fall in love with it. im still trying to talk myself into running the Disney marathon

I have done several halfs but the thought of running for two more hours doesn't seem to have an appeal. I would like to do one someday, just to say I did it

I've got to get on here more! The weekend was super-duper fast.

Recap: zillion errands, Warhol exhibit in NJ, Mary Poppins Bway show, visited Dallas BBQ NYC, early-bird Disney NYC store event, Hershey-M&Ms-Hard Rock-stores visits and then Harry Potter exhibit. I'm tired.

There is always something to do in the city! I want to see the HP exhibit one of these days.

Oh wow...


I just got quoted $595 for the 7 nights for the September trip in the 2bdrm unit at Wyndham.....

That's like...Hella cheap!

That is a great deal.

They have several, and they're *tons* of fun. Check out www.disneyworldmarathon.com. For sure there is a 5k in January, because I've already sent them money. I think the other races during the year have a 5k with them as well.

Have any of you runners used Nike+, especially the sportband? I can't do Nike shoes (I am apparently related to Donald because I have duck feet....narrow in the heel, wide from there), but I like the idea of being able to track distance, pace and time. And, having spent money on the unit will make me even more likely to keep up on the running Day 1 has given me no soreness (so far), but it was only 4 or 5 minutes of total running and I could already walk 4 miles without after effects My running buddy has asthma so I let her set the pace (which was pretty much perfect for me, I may have been able to go a little harder, but then I'd be more likely to be sore....).

I did the full in January, although I'm a walker with occasional bouts of running. Don't know if I'll be doing another any time soon--we went back to the half for 2012. But bragging rights are great, as is the Mickey medal.

hahaha thats funny that you mention it. i think the disney marathon is the only marathon that i'd actually want to do bc #1 - it'd make for good pictures, especially with the ones with characters along the way. #2 - I want want that medal!!

Hmmmmm, I am thinking I might just take off work for those nights (no PTO needed, just rearrange my schedule. . .lol). If you don't get any takers, I will take the space. Easier than driving home everyday. . .lol.

Heyyy, new thread!

I've got to get on here more! The weekend was super-duper fast.

now, off to read what I missed!

Personally, I will suggest not trying to catch up too much. . .it moves too fast.

I do like Fridays Saturday and Sunday
I wish I could be at the beach or WDW everyday!!! Now I have to come up with a plan to make that happen!!!

For me it would be the beach. I spent 20 years living 2 blocks from the water in Redondo Beach, CA. I would walk down to the boardwalk every day after work and watch the sun set. . .I loved it.

Going down for Labor Day, so can't go back again quite that soon. Keep me in mind for next time, though.

I'm going over Labor Day w'end, so I can't go again *quite* so soon. Maybe next time.

Would you consider the marathon *relay*? It's new this year. Two-person teams, so each member does a half. The medal for the relay is Chip and Dale. My sister and I are trying to round up a couple of teammates because we'd love to add Chip and Dale to our bling collection (especially the inaugural year!!), but we prefer to run together, not tag-team.

Augie...I asked you about the relay already, right? Anyone else??

That is cool that Disney keeps coming up with new medals to entice people to run the races I'm pretty sure I won't be up for a half by then, though, lol. Maybe I can make that a goal, to be able to run a half by 2013 How long did most of you train before being able to tackle a half?

I walked most of the half, and most of the full. My training was sporadic at best.
The important thing to remember is that the last person to cross the finish line gets the same medal as everyone else. You have to maintain a 16 minute mile (although there is a little fudge factor built into that) or they "sweep" you off the course. I have to say, I was at the very back of the pack for mile 17-20 of the marathon (at which point I lost my companion and picked up some speed) and the "sweepers" were all super supportive and encouraging.

Someone else can probably give you a better sense of what it would take to actually *run* the 13.1 miles. But highly recommend it. Wonderful experience--except for the year it snowed.

Ewww, snow doesn't belong at Disney anyway! That is very encouraging that you were able to walk a lot of it. I need to make sure I can *walk* the 13.1/26.2 miles before I commit to anything, though, lol. I had grand running plans several times when I was in the Navy, but they never materialized. I was, however, in a totally different (and not so great) place mentally, emotionally and physically then

Hey, I figure I probably do at least a half-marathon's worth of walking on a normal day in the parks anyway. The 26.2 was a stretch, but I finished strong and was fine the next day. And it is pretty cool to be able to say I finished a marathon.

I think someone already mentioned there are at three half marathons @WDW. And two at DL.
