WDW Marathon January

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Not sure if this is the right place for it....

But are there any other marathon runners (or walkers--or halfs--or fun run families) who will be at Disney on the weekend of January 9th.

I am participating with Team in Training and have already started asking friends and family for donations--so I am committed.

Anyway--any other Disers planning on being at WDW Marathon weekend (Jan 8th and 9th)?

Not sure if (other than the race) that we'll be doing parks...depends on how the finances hold up between now and then.

Hi Lisa,

I'm doing the half-marathon. And that reminds me, I need to schedule my massage for the day after.

How's your training going? My long run for this week is 6 miles. Probably short to a lot of veterans, but this is my first race. And I love my shoes.

What shoes do you have?

I actually have just started training and being started out slow my long run (+walk) for today was 3 miles.

there are a bunch of us over on the Wish board

As for shoes find a good store and get fitted. I did several years ago for an Avon Breast Cancer walk. The shoes they put me in are the best I have ever had (even if the current model is FLAT out ugly!)

You may pay a little, but after your first pair you can always shop on line or at the outlets.

My dad has offered to purchase me custom fitted running shoes--Hersey's I believe...designed to fit my funky feet.

I'll go visit the wish board

If you are getting Hersey shoes, you had better order them pretty soon. They take about three months to get them once you order them. My husband has gotten about three pairs from Bart. Plus sent them back to be resoled and plugged.

I know--I will be sending them in this week--order time is 12 weeks...which gives me 2 months of practice in them.

Thanks!

We will be there. Our daughter is coming in from Texas to run. Ddon't know if it is the half or full yet.

I'm doing the full marathon.

Just did the 60km weekend to end breast cancer last week, and this weekend my long run is 10 miles!

I run about 4 miles an hour, so will probably need the full 7 hours!

I am not entirely sure why I think running for 7 hours will be fun!

I don't think I would run that far unless I was being chased... But good luck to everyone who is!!!

Well, I saw last years Mickey Medal--looked like a gold medal from the Mickey-lympics...so I am chasing that....and rasing money for Leukemia Lymphoma.



My Hersey order has been sent in--I should be seeing my shoes by Thanksgiving--a little late--but I still will have one or so months to enjoy them before the marathon.
