Wow. I am very impressed with anyone doing the Goofy. I would love to be able to do that at some point. Maybe I could handle it in 2012? We shall see!
After the Princess I'll be concentrating on the DL half (and saving up for a cross country trip) because I desperately want that Coast to Coast medal. It's all about the bling.
I need to find some things to fill in the blanks though. I've got a 5K in September at Myrtle Beach, my first Half in October (also at Myrtle Beach), and then nothing until the Princess in February. I need some things before Feb and between Feb and Sept. Hmmm... Who ever thought I'd be going race shopping?!? DH is going to kill me.
Yeah, I was part of your conversation about that. *laugh* That's during my Disney trip in December, so it's a no-go for this year. And besides, the time limit is a little strenuous for me at this point.
Maybe next year! It's not far from home at all!
How about OBX? I am definitely doing that one, too, along with the friend I did the Chicago RnR with, and at least 2 girls from my running club. It has a nice long time limit. It's Nov 14th.
How about Brer Rabbit's Bounders? Because we all do want to find our laughing place!!(even if it does come after a run)

I'm taking the week off from everything but C25K this week. Tomorrow will be Week 6, Day 3. We are visiting in-laws, their track has a different surface.
Thanks so much for heading this group up!
Here is my introduction .... I am Beth from Wisconsin. I am 42, married to a wonderful man and have 2 kids - DD12 and DS 10. I am a 1st grade teacher trying to enjoy the last weeks of summer break.
I ran for fun many years ago in college but over the last 20 years have been on the "on and off" activity plan. My daughter ran on the middle school track team this year and watching her motivated me to try running again. Then a dear friend suggested we train for the Princess 1/2 marathon. So here I am. I am not really following a training plan yet but an going to start an official plan in September. I am planning a 5K race in late Sept., a 10K in November and the Princess 1/2 in Feb. Currently I am running 2 miles at a 13.5 pace. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Heck, I just want to finish the race!
Thanks again for setting the group up! Looking forward to this!
Hi All! My name is Allison, I am a pharmacist from South Ga. This is my first attempt at a half-marathon, well, at any race. Like many of you I have always wanted to run and have just got up the guts to actually do it. I am much farther behind all of you- I can't even walk at a 4 mile per hour pace. On the treadmill this is jogging for me. I am basically running for a minute and then walking for 2 minutes for about an hour. My pace is only about a 18 min. mile! I still have faith I will be able to do the Princess though. As far as a name goes- what about "Mickey's Marathoners". I'd love a name with an original character in it! Happy running everyone...
I LOVE this!Or the Grim Grinning Ghosts?
