Anyone up for Disneyland's Half Marathon?
I've already set a goal to do a half marathon in November (and beat my last time) but this looks even better. The entry fee is a little high (IMO) at $120 but how fun would it be if we put a LA Nestie team together

Re: Anyone up for Disneyland's Half Marathon?
realistically - how much time is involved in training for something like this.
(i am not a runner at ALL... but running a marathon or even half marathon in my lifetime is secretly always something that i have wanted to achieve)
First of all. I don't work out. EVER! If I can do it, you ladies can do it?
?
Last time, I started training in August (3 months prior to event) and honestly only trained half-a$$ (because I hate to exercise).
I also walk, not run. I can do a mean power walk. LOL
?So if anyone wants to "walk" it with me, let me know!??
Butting in post..
I usually post on the OC boards, but I saw this post and thought I'd chime in. I ran the Disneyland half this past year. It was tons of fun. I'm not a runner at all and it's wasn't too bad. I would try to run 1-3 times during the week and another on the weekend for a long run. I worked my way up to 10 miles before the half marathon and felt prepared enough to finish strong. If you ever thought about doing something like this I would reccomend doing the Disney one. The parks are full of characters in full costume willing to pose with runners. There are a ton of marching bands and such that come out to support the runners. IMO there were a lot of distractions that took away from just how long the course was.
