Thinking about it! I've never run one before either.... - littleone240.5 #1111 6-12-12 9:54AMLike Reply
I want to do it, hopefully I can still sign up for it in the next month. I have never done one bit willing to challenge myself. Its just a better excuse for me to get in shape, no better incentive than Disneyland :) - PaintingTheRosesRed420.8 #307 6-12-12 10:03AMLike Reply
See that's what I thought!! A half has been on my bucket list and I figured if I can get through any it will be the Disneyland one!! - CourtyAstroBlisters 440.7 #282 6-12-12 10:05AM
I seen that the requirements are for you to do a mile in 13 or 16 minutes, I can do that walking!!! Lol - PaintingTheRosesRed 420.8 #307 6-12-12 10:08AM
Just finished my registration! You'll do great, I was nervous when I ran my 1st half too. Disney has the best races, I hope I'll get the chance to meet you there. - VikkiMouse182.2 #1835 6-12-12 10:05AMLike Reply

I just registered. My first half marathon also!!! We can do this!!! - Ohana 197.6 #1664 6-12-12 10:42AMLike Reply
If any of you first time runners need a training schedule I have 2 suggestions for you. Jeff Galloway posts training schedules on the runDisney site that you can print out or if you have a smart phone try downloading the Runner's World Smart Coach that will create a training schedule for you based on how many weeks you have to train & days a week you plan to run. I hope this helps. - VikkiMouse182.2 #1835 6-12-12 11:17AMLike Reply
I signed up! This will be my 7th Half Marathon and my first was in September 2010. They are addicting. Lol. I base my sign ups on the medals and Disney does GREAT medals. - MXPrincess399482.1 #246 6-12-12 11:27AMLike Reply
This is making me feel so much better!!! Cause I am doing it by myself and was a lil nervous!! I'm so excited to hopefully do it with all of you MWers!!! Yay!!! - CourtyAstroBlisters440.7 #282 6-12-12 11:53AMLike Reply
You have plenty of time to train. I personally have had good luck with the Hal Higdon traing plans. - MXPrincess399 482.1 #246 6-12-12 12:20PM
I did the Tinkerbell last year and this is an amazing course. I did it last year with my sister and aunt, but we were all at different paces, so i ran alone for the whole race but you never feel alone. You cheer each other on the whole way and make friends as you go. - diznymommy84215.3 #1418 6-12-12 11:58AMLike Reply
Yes! I loved that complete strangers were saying "Go Peter!" since I was dressed as Peter Pan. - MXPrincess399 482.1 #246 6-12-12 12:36PM

there is an app called "from couch to 5k" it has a training guide and tips to help prepare for 5k's and marathons. It gives you a day by day training program to get you up and motivated. You should check it out. - LovePiglet7639.2 #4025 6-12-12 12:45PMLike Reply
