My first 1/2 was at Disneyland and it was so much fun. I love stopping to say hi to all the characters My second 1/2 was the Baltimore and it was full of hills My DH warned me, but I thought I was tough enough. It was hard! My tentative plan is to do the 2010 1/2 and then the full in 2011 and then the Goofy in 2012 on my 40th bday Of course we'll see. Definitely doing the half this year and am pretty confident I'm going to do the full in 2011. I just want to do a full at least once in my life. The Goofy we'll have to see how 2011 goes
Have you read the book Marathoning for Mortals? I highly recommend it. It encourages regular walking breaks. It makes it easier to keep your heart rate down and energy level up throughout the race.
Really enjoyed your TR.

We had the same plan! 1/2 last year, full next, goofy next. But the full didn't work with our plans for the cruise since the Magic leaves on Saturdays. So, it's the 1/2 again, but I'd definitely like to try the full after that, provided I do a little better with the training next time.

If you did the disneyland 1/2, I think there's a medal if you do that one plus the disneyworld one. You should try that after the goofy!

I'll definitely look up that book! Thanks for the recommendation.
