Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon Whos In

[Ecboyd]

My DH and I just signed up for the Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon at Disneyland in Jan 2012. We are also set for the Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon at WDW in Sept 2012.

1. Tinkerbell will be our first ever 1/2 Marathon
2. We are new to running in all forms.
3. We want to do the cross continental challenge.

We are in San Diego and would love to meet up with other who are on the same path.

So Who's in???

Congratulations on signing up for the Tinker Bell Half. Looks like you will be getting your coast-to-coast medal in 2012. There is a thread for the WISHers doing the race here http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=40816774&postcount=1 on the events side of the board. Come and join us!

I haven't signed up for the tinkerbell yet. I am also new to running. I plan on signing up sometime in June. I am signed up for my first 5k at Disneyland marathon weekend. If I sign up we should get together, I live in San Diego as well. I am trying to get my sister to run with me. If I finish the tinkerbell half I will sign up for the Wine and Dine 2012.
What kind of training are you doing? I am doing run/walk. I have asthma so that works best for me.

Wow sorry for the delay, I got swamped at work.

YES YES and Yes.

Hubby and I are starting out with the walk.
We did 8 miles Yesterday (Sunday) and try to walk at least 4 miles every other night.

We wont actually start the "run" portion of the Run/Walk for another 2 weeks at least.
Downloaded the training plan from the Sept marathon and are argumenting our training from that... sorta..

We usually walk our neighborhood EC right now, we want to start walking the beach (less hilly).

Where do you train?

I'm in!! I signed up a month ago and started jogging the very next day. I started with 2 miles and am up to about a 5K right now but I am getting tired so I think I need to slow my pace down. I am also a bit frustrated that I am GAINING weight and not losing it yet! I did Weight Watchers last year and dropped 20lbs by walking, walking, walking! We went to WDW in Oct with the family and I wanted to be in decent shape for all the walking we'd do and wanted my kids to be too. It was great!
So I have maintained the weight loss until I started the jogging!
Anyway, I am in and I live north of L.A. in Ventura county. My plan is also to get the coast to coast medal and do the W&D half in Sept/Oct.
