I totally agree with what everyone here has posted and I wish I had seen this sooner. I did the 1/2 marathon at 202 pounds and although I was not the most fit person on the course, I was not the least fit either!
If you dream it, you can do it!
I really think that with a year to plan ahead and train for the event you will do great. But you have to want to do it for you, not to prove a point or because you don't want to miss out on the excitement of meeting WISH friends, etc...
I have to admit that when I rushed out and signed up for the next 1/2 marathon in 2005, it was more because I thought it would be cool to do a 1/2 with my DH & because I knew all the WISHers would be there. Now that we are home and looking at our budget and everything else we want to do this year, we realize that 2005 at WDW is not going to happen and we are bummed. But we will do what we can to be there in 2006 and maybe even run the full together!
My point being, if you really want to do this for yourself, sign up. The most you will be out if you really can't do it is the registration fee. If you get there and cross the starting line, then, im my mind, you set out to do what you wanted, regardless of the outcome of the race.
Hope my ramblings make sense! Good luck
