OMG! I love that walking Mickey! Thanks for sharing him with us, Jody!! I have talked to my dh about the 1/2 marathon. While he is thrilled about me trying to do a marathon, the WDW part got him. He hates for the kids to miss school. It looks like that might be a Mom and myself trip. I know she would like to go back again!

I like walking Mickey too! But he only shows up as ared x in a box for me. What am I doing wrong?

 

[karebear1]

While I am not a member of Team WISH (or whatever you guys will call yourselves!), I "wish" you the best of luck in getting ready for the 2005 Marathon.

I changed my lifestyle in Oct 2002 and have lost a total of 54 pounds and went from a size 22 to a 10/12 (right now) with some more pounds to come off. I've been getting ready for the 2004 1/2 marathon and hope to run in the 2006 full marathon at WDW.

There are lots of good places you guys already mentioned about marathon training. The best advice I have gotten from the trainers at my gym are: take it slow, build up your endurance and lift weights (if you can) to help build lean muscle. I couldn't run/walk more than a mile without feeling like I was going to bust a gut. Now I run/walk about 5-6 miles 3-4 times per week. I have participated in 2 10K races and 3 5K races and had some pretty decent finish times. You guys have a long time to prepare for the race--my trainer said that most people could be prepared to run a full marathon in less than 6 months (I personally think a year is better if you are totally not in shape like I was!).

An option for some of you when you start your training is to look into a run/walk programs. I currently use a program that has me run for 3 minutes, walk (briskly) for 2, run for 3, etc.... It really helps me to be able to keep up a brisk pace without feeling like I am going to pass out-lol!

I also belong to a yahoo group called "teampenguin-disney" where we all participate in the WDW 1/2 or full marathon--nice group to ask questions and not feel like a "newbie".

Anyway--I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck and hope your training goes along great!

BTW--for someone who posted that their DH or someone was not particularily supportive. I told my DH of my plan and he was like "Yeah right, if you can pull that off I you can stay in whatever WDW hotel you want". I turned around, picked up the phone and booked AKL Concierge & BWI Concierge for 8 nights--guess he figured out pretty quickly that I was serious!

Thanks Karen! We all are so thankful for the support we get from each other here on the WISH board!

I am not sure we have declared a 'name' yet, but I just been calling us the WISH Walkers....but no official name yet! LOL!!!

Thanks again for the information and the support......

I told my hubby about the marathon and he said that if I can do the half marathon that he could do the whole So you can count me and my husband in for 2005!!

 

[kamgen]

My DH is planning on doing the marathon too! He hasn't decided if he will do the 1/2 or whole one...but he plans to run.....he is not much of a walker! LOL!!!!

This is going to be great!!!

OK, I've stewed over this for a few days, dismissed it, stewed some more, dismissed it again, and stewed some more. As of right now, no more stewing.

I'm in!!!! I'll be the old lady bringing up the rear!

I'll tell DH tonight, he might want to participate too!

 

[kamgen]

Good for you Linda!!! We are excited you are joining us!!!!

Kamy

 

[karebear1]

THANKS to everyone that has signed up so far..... check out page 1- my OP for this thread- Everyone that's committed themselves (OH!! That doesn't sound so good does it?!?? Maybe we all do belong in the nut house for committing to do this!! ) is listed there!!

Yep! We can use all the "cheerleaders" we can get!
