How I'm Doing

Something to Consider....

I know a lot of us are doing C25k or running in some form, I also know that many of us have discussed a desire to meet each other face to face at some point. So, I had a thought. My first goal with this running thing is to graduate from the C25k program. My second goal is to run a 5k next year, and then another and another. But, I wanted to set an even larger goal, so I've decided that I'm going to run the Disney Princess 1/2 marathon in Disneyworld January 2011. Thought I'd throw it out and see who might be interested. I know it's over a year away, but I thought if we at least started the conversation now it would allow us to make arrangements, save money, etc. We could make a weekend of it, visit the happiest place on earth, run a 1/2 marathon (or cheer those on that do) and actually meet in person.


Quick poll: Who'd be interested in something like this??

  3. I think I normally walk a half marathon when I go there anyway(loaded down with "Mom" stuff). I'd definitely be interested in going.

  6. Sign me up!!!


    I think a half marathon is a great goal, it's even one of mine. Just b/c I'm a dork, where is that at? I'd love to make a weekend out of it. I'm considering doing the 1/2 marathon in New Orleans in late Feb but it depends on how much progress I have w/ stamina between now and then. A good friend lives there and my sis might come down and join us. So yeah, I'd love to. Just keep mentioning it every few mths b/c I forget ALOT. haha!

  8. I think this might be a great idea...I only live about 8 hours away from old Disney World!!! Maybe Sarah can get us a good deal on a place to stay bc she goes there almost every weekend (okay, not really...but close)!!!

  10. All this enthusiasm is making me really consider it! A half marathon is like a crazy thought for me, but why not!?!? Count me in!

    I wasn't familiar with the c25k either, but it looks like a good place to start. I feel like I'm pretty much at the beginning on this one!
