Good for you, Rachael! Congrats on making that commitment!
I ran the WDW full marathon for the first time last month. It was great fun! I won't be doing it in 2005, but possibly in 2006.
Happy training!

DH and I are doing the 1/2 marathon. A first time for both of us. Hopefully we'll finish, lol.

Sara,

I am also doing two half marathons before hand as well

The Vancouver 1/2 in May and the Victoria 1/2 in October.

Last year I did the Victoria 1/2 marathon in 3hours 20 minutes.

My goal is to get down to 3 hours for the 1/2.

I wish everyone luck and pixie dust. It should be alot of fun.

You'll have 3.5 hours to complete the half and 7 hours to complete the marathon. Just don't stop to get your picture taken and you should be able to finish. As long as your number is clearly displayed, photographers will take your photo while you are running/walking.

DH and I are planning on doing the full marathon too. We haven't registered yet, but we have started training. I'm waiting a little while to register because I don't have the money yet and I'm afraid of losing almost $200 if something comes up within the next year and we can't go. I'm really excited about it already!

good luck everyone - I did the half this year and my medal hangs off my computer as I type. It's too far to come out next year though - maybe in about four years (gulp). I made a rash statement about doing the marathon on my 40th! Got a half round Auckland (NZ) next weekend but it won't be the same without Donald telling me to 'run fast'.
