Hey everyone! I am going to start losing weight and getting into shape.. My goal is to run the Tinkerbell half in Jan.. I know I need to loose about 60lbs.. My current activity level is couch potato, mom taxi driver.. I have no clue where More...
Welcome! Start by making small goals like jogging for 5 minutes then slowly work up to longer distances. There is a great training program by Jeff Galloway on the runDisney website. I used that to train for my first half and now I've done 9 half marathons. Good luck with your training! Keep us posted on your progress ✨ - PirateQueenBriezy291.4 #661 5-10-13 9:11AMLike Reply
good luck. I tip my hats off to runners. Even when I was in shape and serving our country as a Marine, I couldn't run to save my life. - GoofyMom77108.7 #2923 5-10-13 4:18PMLike Reply
Good for you. Set reasonable and achievable goals. Best of luck on your journey. Keep us posted. - Mrs.mouse420.7 #307 5-10-13 10:45PMLike Reply
Hi there! I think I said this on your post that was in the Hub the other night, but a lot of people start running with the Couch to 5K program, and then pick up the half marathon training from there. Good luck! Remember to set goals, stick to a reasonable plan, and feed your body well: if you're going to run, your body needs fuel! A lot of people try to cut their calories way low and end up burning out because they don't have the energy to keep training. Eat healthily and fuel your runs! - Spoonful_O_Sugar436.2 #285 5-12-13 9:42AMLike Reply
I am way out of shape but want to change that and lose weight and get in shape to run the Tinkerbell half in Jan, does anyone have any suggestions or helpful advice?
Jeff Galloway on rundisney.com has a training schedule for beginners. I've been following that for the DL half. - HasAnyoneSeenMyGlassSlipper323.5 #507 5-9-13 11:13PMLike Reply
Thank you! Goal is Tinkerbell half and maybe DL half next year - sunshinegrl 192.8 #1718 5-9-13 11:18PM
It's a good starting point. He'll eventually put up the schedule for Tink with dates. - HasAnyoneSeenMyGlassSlipper 323.5 #507 5-9-13 11:30PM

Does anyone know if the Starbucks in DCA will allow you to use free drinks on your app? I know they will scan and allow you to use available balance and get points.. Not sure if they will on free ones
My guess is no based on the fact that you can't use the free drinks at the ones instead Targets, grocery stores, schools,.. - aidensmama336.5 #445 4-30-13 1:54PMLike Reply
wondering how many Washington state MWers would be interested in a local meetip? like a movie premier, mouse ears in the park baseball game, fair.. something... if interested what would you be interested in?

I rode this for the first time this past Thursday and it really wasn't so bad. However, I did have two beers before getting on so that might have helped. :) - aidensmama336.5 #445 11-18-12 6:10PMLike Reply
I am thinking a black pearl or those Godiva shooters before hand! Hubby expecting me to do this! I want to get guts to ride this and super surprise him and ride California Screemin too! Especially since we live in Seattle and he just bought me an AP - sunshinegrl 192.8 #1718 11-18-12 6:14PM

You can do it! When on TOT with my then 6 yr old who was the only child on the ride at 11pm, she heard another rider say how scared they were and she responded very matter of fact, "don't worry! You'll be alright ! I've done this before!". Every adult in the elevator let out a collective "ahhhhh" and giggle! Great moment !

Without a doubt try and be there on one of the candy cane days!!!! Not to get one, because let's face it you can get a peppermint candy anywhere! But rather to witness the absolute idiocracy that is candy cane bracelet distribution!!!........ It is one of the most disgustingly disturbing yet overwhelmingly hilarious things you will ever see.......F.Y.I, beware of the motorized fat wagons they make unexpected and erratic manuvers!! - georgieporgie116.1 #2797 11-4-12 2:59PMLike(1) Reply

If not, just drink some of it, buy a side shot and add yourself. Although, it is kind of small and beyond delicious on its own. - Slotherini 886.9 #99 11-4-12 4:50PM
