*Raises hand* Volunteer's for next years....i really really want to seriously the medals looked awesome and just the thrill of actually doing something like that and finishing and participating in it just makes me want to get out there and succeed. What did you do to train? Loved the pictures.

When's the next half marathon? I'd like to do it.

Really.

katiesue · 09-02-2008, 07:10 PM

It's Labor Day weekend again in 2009. Um you'll have to ask Swanie about the training - I just showed up.

Kidding - there are a number of training programs for a half marathon. I just kept getting hurt. Some real training would have been beneficial.

Thought it would be Labor Day Weekend 2009. Shouldn't be a problem with the date at all. OK i will ask Swanie about the training.

I'm gonna do the AIDS Walk L.A. on October 19 - as part of NBC Universal team.

I oughtta be ok for this, I walk a mile every day from my last bus stop to the front door.

CoasterMatt · 09-03-2008, 10:04 PM

AIDS Walk L.A. is 6.2 miles.

I think I may have my sights set on the Coast to Coast challenge for 2010. I saw the medal that people got this year, and am very bummed I couldn't commit to the DL 1/2 to get that medal. It's too late to register for the WDW 1/2 for 2009, and I don't think I'm prepared to do another marathon given my lingering knee problems.

Like Steph trains, will you? I know you walk a lot at Disneyland and work but how many miles is that?

One thing in the favor or races, they start early. So, you can use up all of your energy and then go home and pass out.

Not that I know anything about that....

I should probably look into doing one of these sometime - walking. I don't run.

MouseWife · 09-04-2008, 09:44 PM

I know I can't run that far. I think I am going to train and see if I can mix in running with it. I tried it today, almost 1 mile walk/running. I didn't run the whole mile, but, I only walked to catch myself and then went again.

But, that was only for 3 miles. I need it to not be hot. So....I don't think I'd do this one you guys did. I need one in the cooler months.......start off early and be finished when the day starts to warm up.

Lisa, you walk a lot with your pooches, right? Just like Matt walks a lot with his work. That is a head start.
