DH and I are going BY OURSELVES for the marathon weekend 2004......we're ditching the kids with his mom for a few days ...(actually, she'll be staying at our house with them....I tell you, the woman is a GODSEND!) If you have the chance to go on an "adults-only" trip to WDW (be it spouse, friend, siblings, WHATEVER!) do it! It's such a wonderfully different vacation than with the kids!

WOW!!! I loved reading this!!

I had decided to do the 1/2 marathon in 2005 myself (made this goal last week), but now, thinking about doing this with a group will be even more motivating!!!

I have lost 16lbs in the last 5 weeks, have joined CURVES, and am doing the Tony Little Gazelle glider too - (did 3 miles on Sunday). I know I have lots of work in front of me, but I'm up to the challenge!!

I will email my name/info to Kamy, to be added to the official list.

Thanks!

Mishoe01- WELCOME TO THE WISHcon 2005 WORLD!!!! We are so excited that you are going to join us! Don't forget to keep a record of how much you walk/lose/excercise so we can record all your info monthly!

This is so exciting! Count me in. I don't know how I will manage a trip but maybe it can be a short solo

How do you know when its time to register? I'm interested in the 1/2 marathon so I'm worried about getting in.

Currently I am severely overweight (80 lbs) but I run 4 days a week. I gained 30 lbs this year and my running has suffered from it

Right now I can run 30 minutes at 5.2 mph. I love this marathon goal to get me back in the swing.

I never thought to combine my two passions-- Disney and running-- woo hoo

o.k., I've procrastinated long enough.

Count me in....

Thanks
Sandy

Wow I can't believe that I've been here all this time and I've never seen this thread!!! I can't commit to anything right now beacase I have no idea what life has in store for me 18 months from now. Can you just put me down as interested? Thanks!

I don't know the exact date that registration will begin for the 2005 half/full marathon. Expect it to be around the 1st of March 2004.....I'm sure you'll see it posted on the boards here!

Congrats on your decision to join the "race". Here's to good health!

 

[InstImpres]

Just an FYI to everyone....

I spoke with Mike at "Marathon Headquarters" today. They are planning on starting registration earlier next year. He said end of Jan or beginning of Feb the latest. This years 1/2 marathon filled in just 12 days!!!!!

I was considering doing the full marathon this year as a real need the inspiration to exercise (and what is better than Disney). He told me there is a large percentage of walkers in both marathons.

I will educate myself and see what I can put together for training ideas etc.



Yo, gang....

Contact the American Stroke Association. If you raise money for them they will train you and then send you to the Disney Marathon....Free! Get a group together...There are 50 of us in the Austin...TX area doing either the Disney (2004) or the Arizona 2004 Rock'n Roll Marathons ...or half marathon (either walk or run)...I'm doing the Disney 2004 half walk. They set up a training program and also give you help in raising your funds. Contact me for more info...

 

[disnygoof]

Okay, count me in! This sounds like SO much fun!!

I'll definitely be at goal by then (hopefully way before) or die trying, LOL!

I can't wait - now all I need to do is convince my DH to do it.

Can't wait!!

Wow! I can't believe how much this thread has grown! We are going to have a great time in this Marathon!! Thanks again, Karen for the wonderful idea!

 

[kathleena]

I would like to participate, please count me in!

I think it's great to set this goal for myself and then train for it. Right now I walk 3 miles at about that 16 minute rate4-5 times per week. I had started walking again after a 3 year lapse, about 6 weeks ago. Just walking 2 miles was taxing (asthma in heat and humidity is not fun.....)

And I am actually doing this for two reasons. One for the weight, but also because I have a genetic lung condition and I want to increase the health of my lungs.

Thanks for organizing this.

 

[karebear1]

Oh my! You go away for a couple of weeks and look what happens! More people to join us in tyhe group HOORAY!! I"LL ADD YOUR NAMES TOMORROW MORNING> I'm pooped out from that long 12 hour car ride- and I gotta get some sleep !

 

[msdisney53]

I would love to be able to do this. Every year when sign up time comes around I say well, maybe next year. So next year it will be!
I just have to talk DH into it. I have a mission or maybe two! LOL

Isn't this exciting Denise?

I've never even considered it, nor would I have thought of it without WISHcon2005. Now I am so excited to have a goal! It will be a blast
