We are planning a run Sunday morning the 15th at 7:30 a.m. at Stoney Creek. 3 laps should give us about 19 miles. Come join us.

Is anyone running any marathon prior to Disney? I'm doing the Dallas White Rock on December 13th. My last big training run before the Goofy Challange.

Hello fellow Just Finishers. I will be flying in Thursday night and staying until Sunday. I am only doing the half this year. Anyone looking at running a certain time for their half? I would be happy to run with anyone. I am also up for a carb load. It would benefit me for Friday dinner. Hope everyones training is going well. Keep up the good work!

Aaron,

Great idea! I was just talking with Wonder Woman about making priority seating reservations or counter service at a WDW resort restaurant (on the monorail loop) for anyone interested from Just Finish.

By using a monorail loop restaurant anyone staying at another WDW resort would be easy to jump the monorail from the Magic Kingdom.

Is anyone interested in meeting at WDW monorail resort restaurant?

Looking for interest in meal (lunch or dinner) and day of the week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). Post your replies and lets meet up.

The place I love the best for FUN is at Disney Wilderness Lodge... The Whispering Canyon! This restaurant in NOT on the monorail loop.

My girlfriend isn’t able to get the time off to go to Orlando with me, so I’m going to be cutting my vacation short.

I’ll be flying in on Thursday & leaving Tuesday.

If anyone wants to try to carbo-load or go to the park over the weekend, I’ll be flying solo!

Keep on your pratice schedule. You can see how your strenght is building as you get closer to January. Go back to the basics and don't push too hard. Go for the distance, not time. Use pleanty of fuel as you go along. Proper amounts of Gatorade and gel packets to power you along.

At Disney as long as you can maintain a 16.00 min mile pace you should be able to pull it off.

Things that may slow your pace down is the ALL the Disney characters in each park. They are located along the route in soooo many places.

Here is a tip to give you extra time. Start at the very front of you corral. That gives you an extra 10 - 15 mins of marathon time as those in the back. That way if you need to slow down at the end you will have 'extra' time to finish.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

I am running the marathon and it is my 1st. I had to stop running in Aug and Sept due to an unexpected surgery and this has set my training back. I am worried I won't be able to finish. Any tips?

I will be down at Disney for the Dopey (5k on Friday plus the Goofy Challenge - Sat & Sun).

I have a new goal this year, I would like to get 500 photographs (emailed to me) with runners, volunteers and spectators.

This year I will be wearing my costume the entire time at the expo and races.

Is anyone else going to wear a costume to any of the events? If so let me know I would like to get a group together for photos, possible dining and for fun.
