    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:
