Wanted to check and see if any of the usual marathon runners were running this year... Haven't heard much about it...

We are up for the usual mini-meet at Rose & Crown Sunday night if anyone is interested... Smile

I have another Disney friend who is running the half for the first time, although I don't believe he's a member here.

What's the weather supposed to be like on the day of the big races?

Low of 54 with a high of 76... Should be pretty nice!

I rant the 5k and the Full while my wife ran the Half. The Full was a little hot, but overall the weather and atmosphere was awesome. Can't wait for next year!

I believe all our runners are trickling back and hopefully we can get a full report for all of you.

So, how did you do in the overall scheme of things? How did you do for your personal time?

This was my 1st marathon so no real time plan. Ended up doing it in 5 hours which is admirable. Marathon report will be up this weekend on my blog. www.allthingswdw.blogspot.com

It was a very good Marathon weekend. Very Happy

This was my 7th year running at Disney in one or both of the Marathon.

I found the weather good to run in my 5th Full Marathon and had a real good race.

This was my best year in the Marathon I ran 3:53:48 that was an improvment of
21 minuets better than the 4:14:48 I ran there the year and the first time
I had reached or passed the 4 hours mark!! Very Happy

Congrats to jaho in finishing his first Marathon and to dlears and Figmentathm
who ran the 5K and Marathon last weekend. Very Happy

If I remember correctly, Figmentathm said he finished around 4:05... I think, I can't remember exactly...

Thanks GrumpDaddy.

Great weekend and great place to run my 1st full marathon. Not knowing what to expect I got caught up in the hoopla and neglected my training schedule. Finished in 5 hours. Oh well, at least I got one under my belt.

Next year, I'm shooting for 4 or sub 4. Heck, maybe I'll just win the thing Razz

I must say, anyone who can commit to running a marathon or even the half deserves a lot of credit, regardless of how or where they finished!!

To all our runners, I applaude you!! Congratulations
