I have not posted in months, so late tonite I got on and want to let you know that I am registered. My husband is a 10 time marathoner, and he signed us both up for the half. I have always been the cheerleader at his races and now I have my family cheering me on. I am over 50, very well nourished and diabetic/rheumatoid arthritis. So this is a challenge, but no time like now to get going. I bought new shoes last week, get those little footisies walking!

All of you who have posted here and have NOT received an email from me need to contact me at kamgen@yahoo.com so that I can get you on the official list!
This is going to be a great event! Cannot wait to meet my fellow WISHers!

Glad to see so many are going to be a part of this. I am looking forward to sharing my experience with everyone.

Trying to see if DH might feel up to participating in this event. Right now he is going to be a cheerleader and I am most happy that he will be there to cheer me on.

Well, I took the plunge! I registered for the halph marathon tonight. I'm just starting on my journey towards losing weight and becoming fit. I'm so afraid of failing at this, but I'm hoping an incredibly fun goal will keep me motivated. I'll email/register tommorow. My husband is playing a game on the main computer and I can't email from the laptop. I can't wait to meet all of you.

Just bumping this up!

If I keep seeing it on the main page, I might get motivation to join the party!

PrincessMomma,

If you think you want to jump in, I'd suggest registering soon-- Registration fills up and closes pretty quickly! Consider it an $80 incentive to push you over the edge of indecision

Hey there everyone!

I've just come across this website today and sooooo glad to find this group! I've dreamt about doing the Disney Marathon every since hearing about it a few years ago... but knew I was in no shape to!

I've been working on weight loss for a couple of years now, and this was my year to ramp up the fitness part of it so I've been doing 5k walks to start the year, and my first 10k is this month - and my award to myself was to do the half-marathon!

I signed up for it the day registration opened, and I have my flights books (used airline points so wanted to make sure I got that done early!). I'm so excited.... and even though I sometimes get worried about finishing in time, I think I'll be okay.

I'm still working on weight loss too.. how do I get one of those great images to add to my postings??!

Hello and Welcome!

If you are referring to the Mickey Wish Walker Marathon image, you just need to add the following line to your signature. You need to changed the first symbol "[" to a "<" and the last symbol "]" to a ">" (without the quote marks surrounding the < and >).

I just signed up today for the 1/2 marathon and would love to be a part of WISHcon. I have been saying for years I was going to do the marathon (or at least the 1/2), but the last 3 I have either been pregnant or had a very newborn baby. I have never even done a 5K so this will be a very new experience for me. I am really excited. We are DVC members, so I will be booking my room on points. I am so excited to be a part of this!!

Just wondering since the marathon is so far away if anyone has starting actual marathon training yet - or just getting regular walking under their belt? I've been looking around for good half-marathon walking programs and they seem far and few between. I've seen one for 12 weeks, but I think I'd like to start before then to make sure I can actually do this.

Here's a good marathon walking site if it hasn't been referred to before:

http://www.marathonwalking.com/ and it has links to many other walking sites and information.
