UPDATED 12/07:If you are doing the WDW Marathon or Half in 2007, sign in here...

Thanks for doing this Judy! Wow, 89 team members!!! Wowsers... btw, I'm commited with my lodging. I'll have a split stay with part of the time offsite at Sheraton Vistana Villages and 3 nights at Wilderness Lodge Villas. Whoo hooo! I'm very excited to be at WL!!!
 
Update for me: Staying at Swan for weekend then moving over to BW Tuesday until check out Saturday. My plan for Goofy is to wog/walk. My DS (Ken) will be participating with me in the marathon, but we will each go at our own pace which means we will be "solo" runners--NOT for me! I've got WISH Team and other runners who will chat along the way.

New participants. If you haven't checked in on the weekly walking/running thread stop in there. Many of us try to check in on that thread and offer each other encouragement.

We would love to hear from you as the training is progressing and get to know you a bit.
 
I'm a beginner runner and I'm aiming at running/walking the half marathon in January. No resort reservation yet, but I plan on staying on site. I've lurked for about a year now :smooth: , and have finally decided to make it happen! My real name is Chris. Looking forward to it!
 
I'm Michael and my wife registered me for the marathon as my Father's Day gift. I am so excited and can't wait for January. This is my second marathon (NYC 2004 which is the best marathon is the world) Hopefully this one will be easier. At least I know how to train better. We'll be staying at POR from 1/1 to 1/8. This is a great site because that's a long way to run alone.
 

Hi, I am running my first half Marathon this year. We are staying at VWL. Need to get back into my routine. Due to my work schedule I have not run in a long time!!!. Summer Run Series is over :sad2: We had a race in a different park evey week. So I lost Oh I have to run, what was my time last week. :cheer2:

Excuse the "commercial" interruption, but I'm just trying to get the word out on all the associated threads (for those who don't browse the DISboards). There will be a re-order of WISH Team shirts! To ensure the shirts can be shipped in time for the January Half/Full, we need to get any orders by Sept 8th. All the details are in the "updated" portion of the first post of this thread:
WISH Team Shirt Re-order thread

I'm really excited because I missed out on the first order and want to get some shirts to go goofy in in January!
 
I haven't been able to be around much - family & work stuff.

But I am signed up for Goofy - just gotta amp it up now.
 
DH and I are running the 1/2. It will be my 6th 1/2 marathon. I ran the Chicago marathon and have done the Indy 1/2 for 5 straight years. I'm very excited about running at the Happiest Place on Earth. We are travelling with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program so I'm not sure where we are staying yet. Good luck to all!
 
I finally updated this list today. Please check it for accuracy and let me know if you have any updates. Thanks! :goodvibes
 
Got 'cha! :thumbsup2

Was that because of my glowing trip report? :rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao:
 
OK, I am staying at the Pop, doing the full with DH(Paul) this is my second marathon, first full

PS I am #51
 
Hello, All!
My name is Katie and I'll be running the half marathon. My sister and I are staying at Pop (we were there in August for the free dining and she wants to use her mug again!!! :coffee:)
I have run 2 half marathons in the past. One was a local race here in the Pittsburgh suburbs (it was in North Park for all you locals out there!) and the other was the Cleveland half marathon. I enjoyed both, but soon after running them I developed a tibial stress fracture and had to take a year off.
:( Now I'm ready to run again (I'm back up to 5 miles every other day) and I can't think of anywhere I'd rather do my next big run than at Disney.
I can't wait to get my W.I.S.H shirt, and I look forward to meeting you all in January!

Hi Honeibee!!!

We'll be at OKW. I'm number 18 on the list and are traveling party now consists of 3 (including me) doing the HALF.

It's going to be so kewl to be able to look at the list and have an idea of who I will be running into at the resort and on the buses.
 
Not me, but DH! We're staying at POR (unless and good AP rate comes out). DH is running the Goofy Challenge. This is his second Disney marathon. He has also run the Steamtown Marathon, The NJ Marathon and the Boston Marathon. The kids and I will be his cheerleaders! Hope to meet some other Dissers.
 
Update: I'm still doing Goofy, I'll be staying at the Carribean, I'll be run/walking the half and walk/running the full, this is my 1st half or full marathon.
(I'm #13 on the list btw)
 
Judy - I'm #41 on the list. I determined it would be in my best interest to spectate only this year. I will be there to cheer everyone on as my duaghters are doing Goofy.
 
Number 93 on the list. I am still Goofy I will be at POP.

I am one of those walk/run folk. This is my first full so I figured why not go overboard and do Goofy.
