Hi everyone! My name is Jana and I am currently training for my very first half marathon. I'm planning on doing the Disney Princess Half Marathon on February 22, 2015 in Orlando, FL. I'm looking for people who are also training for the same half marathon, or just willing to be supportive as I train. I'm completing the race with one of my best friends and neither of us has ever done anything beyond a 10K.

We have a blog we are writing to keep us on track at www.withalabamaswagger.blogspot.com so if you would like to follow there, that would be awesome! Otherwise, please feel free to add me here on MFP! I plan on returning the favor! :)

Looking forward to meeting you soon! :)

    Jana - Are you going to run in costume? My husband and I want to run the Disney Marathon in 2016 (we're going to WDW in December but no races). Good luck!

    Hello! I'm Kate. I just completed my first half marathon in Nashville TN. I'm currently working on improving my time for the half marathon in Philadelphia on September 21st. It is my dream to do the Disney Princess but I need to save up some money first :) Feel free to add me if you need support!

    Hi! I signed up for the Glass Slipper challenge! This will be my first half marathon! I've run mostly 5k's and a handful of 10k before this. I'm looking forward to the challenge and am super excited! I also plan to write about my journey ;) Good luck!

    Did the 2014 Tinkerbell as my first half marathon -- first long race after a long racing layoff. I am signed up for Avengers in Nov 2014, Star Wars Jan 2015 and Tinkerbell 2015 at WDW. I live in San Diego hence more of them at Disneyland. Any questions feel free to ask -- I've done 5 Half races this year so far -- I've been running 2:45 - 3:12 depending on the race, congestion, and hills. I'm looking forward to doing one at WDW.

    I couldn't believe how fast it filled up! We had read on some online blogs that if you signed up in the first 3 hours you would be okay. I know I signed up in the first hour and it was already 45% full! By the time I got home at 4pm, it was FULL!
