The Road to Disney's Marathon Weekend-Jan 2012

[Tinkerboy00]

So we are literally "on the road" to our trip to run the Goofy Challenge in Januaray at Walt Disney World! We complete our first Full Marathon in Ocotber, the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington DC. Then we continue our training for the Goofy Challenge (Half Marathon on Saturday, and Full Marathon on Sunday).

Yes we really are Goofy!! And here we are:

Chris or "Tinkerboy00)

and my DH Matt:

This was after finishing our first Half Marathon last year.

We've registered for the race, and booked our nights at the Caribbean Beach Resort. We have never stayed on this property but chose it for it's close proximity to the start lines, and being able to use Race Weekend transportation.

Stay tuned for more information on our upcoming trip!

Followed your link from the official training thread Chris. I did my first half at Disney in 2010. DGF came along for that one, but she's just not a Disney girl. For the full I've got DF Robin for a sidekick. She grew up in central FL and spent too much time at WDW in the 70s. Her GF is not a Disney girl either and is thrilled that Robin will get her WDW fix with a fellow nut!

Good luck getting your runs in. I'd love to do MCM some day, but I fear I may be a one-and-done marathoner.

Looking forward to more PTR.

Ours too and after today's run Im like "what did i get myself into"

I tried to take an ice bath when I got back from todays run and never had used the tub in our new house before. I dont fit! I couldn't stretch out my legs to get into the water. I'm 6'4"

So three weeks from today we will be done with the Marine Corp Marathon, and hopefull still standing!

Can't wait to run by our men in uniform and get handed H20! If they can serve our country I can certainly run 26.2 miles.

After we get back we will rest up a bit and then continue our marathon training to extend into preparation for Goofy. This is gonna be hard as well because we live in New England and I'm a fair weather runner. I don't like to run if the temps drop below 40. But I've got to get my butt out there so I'm ready.

We need to sit down and start planning our days while there. I know we will be at the Expo on Friday. I am thinking about attending one of the WISH meetups as well.

Good luck on your marathon!
