    HI - I'm Diane from the SF Bay Area. My first Half was Inagural Tinkerbell in 2012. It was fantastic! I would love to do each and every Disney race, but it is so expensive. Aside from the entry, the travel and hotel expenses make it a $1K weekend for me to get to SoCal for Disneyland.

    Alas, I wish they had more races on the west coast. One day - eventually - I will get to Princess in Florida.

    Hi all! I'm Laura and I LOVE RunDisney. I ran the Wine and Dine Relay Half in '10 (the inaugural year. The relay doesn't even exist anymore.) and my first half marathon was the Princess this year. I hope to do the Princess again as well as the Dumbo one day (that about as adventurous as my race combos get.) My husband has done the WDW Half three times now. Proud to be a running princess!

    Hi everyone :) I am Sara and I am doing my first half marathon at the Disneyland Half and planning on the Tinkerbell half also!

    I live in Bakersfield, CA and can't wait to run my first. I am currently able to run/walk (Jeff Galloway method) 6 miles but I am working up to longer :)

    Hi, I'm Sherrie and live in Kansas. I completed my first Disney 1/2 marathon in Jan 2011 and loved it. This year I have done the Princess 1/2 and will be running the Disneyland 1/2 to try and get my first Coast to Coast medal, and the Tower of Terror as well. Still not very fast, but working on it. PR is 3:08, hoping to get under 3.

    Anyone else here running the DL 1/2 or T of T this year?

    Hey, All. I'm Joe.

    I'm not running the 2014 Disney Marathon, but my wife plans to. She's a beginner, I've been running slowly off and on for a couple of years. I'm going to be her training partner, but she's planning to run the marathon with her brother, which I think is great.

    This week is the perfect time to start the Galloway plan, so here we go!

    I live in Kissimmee and I'm actually doing the 5K during the Food and Wine Weekend. It will be my first race, so I would love to know if anyone else is planning on doing that one :)

    I just signed up for my 1st ever marathon. Being a huge Disney geek, figured Tinkerbell is the best one to do. The 1/2 already sold out, so I have to settle for the 10k. Considering it'll be my 1st & I'm not really a runner, I figured it's the best one to start off with.
    Trying so hard to lose the weight & keep it off for a change. Figured if I did a 10k for my 40th birthday, that would be the best motivator there is.

    I'll gladly take any tips on training since I have no clue what I'm doing. Feel free to add me. January 2014 is going to get here fast now, I just know it.

    Hi everyone! I'm Kayla and I live in the Tampa Bay area (about 1 1/2 hours from WDW) and am planning on training to do a Disney race! I'm toying with the notion of running the Expedition Everest or waiting til the fall races. I'm so jealous of those who have run before! I'm a Disney freak and have always wanted to do one!

    Hi fellow Disney runners! I'm from Florida and have signed up for my first Disney run and my first full marathon--WDW Jan 2015--as a 60th birthday present to myself.

    I've run-walked three 1\2 marathons since Nov 2013 and will start training for this marathon Jun 1st.

    My goal is to have fun, and finish in the vertical position, uninjured and ahead of the sag wagon.

    Hi All. I am a Disney passholder and live in the Tampa area. I have walked several Disney 5Ks and walked the Princess Half in 2013, got picked up at mile 8! :grumble: My current goal is to train to be able to run all of the Mickey Jingle Jungle in November. Then do the 10K during the Princess marathon weekend next year and to actually complete the Wine and Dine half next year!

    Hi, I'm Stacy from Montana! I think I'm bit addicted to the Disney races, but they are so much fun and very well coordinator for a large race.

    I have done quite a few of the race:
    Disneyland 1/2 marathon (Sept '10)
    Tinkerbell 1/2 marathon (Jan '12, '13, '14), plus the 5K in '13 & '14, and the 10K this year
    Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon (Nov '12, which got us the Coast to Coast medal), plus the Jingle Jungle 5K

    And we are signed up for the Avenger's Half and the Star Wars Challenge. We also plan on doing the Tower of Terror run in 2015.

    Then we may take a break from the Disney races (getting pretty darn expensive!) and start on my bucket list of running a 1/2 marathon in each state. :happy:
