Your video is very inspirational to new runners! I started running about 3 months ago and I am up to 8.2 miles in 1hr 40min 32sec. I am hoping to run my first half-marathon by September 09 and who knows, maybe run a full marathon by January 2010?
Great video. i plan to make disney 2010 my first full marathon. I cant wait and after seeing your video im even more excited!
Congrats! You beat me by almost an hour! See you in 2010?
That was awesome!! Thanks so much for giving me an inside look. My husband and I are doing are first marathon in January 2010 at DisneyWorld!!! (with the princess 1/2 to followin in March!) Your little penguin walk at the end was very telling!! I’m sure you were hurting but you must have been proud!
That was great! My husband and I are doing the 2010 marathon. I have never run before in anything ever I am so scared but I am more determined than ever! Thanks!
Good luck! You can do it! I actually ran this marathon with only running up to 9miles because I was injured for the 2 months before. So it’s totally possible!
glad I could help! good luck!!
Unfortunately I can’t.. too expensive and I need to focus on my senior year of college. I can’t wait to do it again in the future though!
Yes, I was in a lot of pain after! Prior to the marathon I was injured from November till about 2 weeks before the race, so my training was 9 miles.
Good luck to you and your husband!! I am so jealous, wish I could do it again next year.
I am so happy to help people get an inside look and get excited!
You’re welcome! I really am happy to help people get ready and excited!
Don’t be scared! especially because your first race will be Disney, it will be fun and very enjoyable… and most importantly distracting from pain and exhaustion!
Good luck to both of you!
my husband and i are doing our first marathon at Disney in 01/2010 also!! i have never done any kind of run before so i am very anxious about it, but excited!
Awesome video!! I’m training to run my first marathon there Jan 2010! Your video is truely insparational.
Awsome job and thank your for your fundraising efforts for CTF!!!!. I am doing my first marathon in 3 weeks here in MN and fundraising for CTF. Determination and thinking of my son with NF keeps the motivation going
That was great. You rock! Congrats, and thanks for the first-hand perspective of your experience. I wish I had the guts to do a marathon instead of just 5k’s. Congrats again!
Fantastic job! My band and I will be on tour close to there this coming year and we’re planning on doing it!
OMG I dont even know you and it made me cry I was so proud of you!!!
I am a Mom of 2 and will be running Disney 2010. You have made me eve MORE excited. ???? How did you carry your camera and video. My camera is kind of big so think I will be using my cell phone. Congrats again!!!!
Now I am hooked on marathons after completing one on October 4th, 2009, now I am off to this marathon and once again running for CTF!!!
