OFFICIAL 2014 WDW Marathon Countdown: 11 months!

[WaDiWo]

LIST UPDATED as of 2/3/13!

(check out the LIST on my original post #1 of this thread. Please let me know if I missed anyone, or spelled your username wrong, etc.)

Wow, 88 of us so far!! Would make one heck of a great picture / meet!

Anyway, sorry so late in updating the list. Been having some medical problems, and my doctors say I can't run right now because of injuries. In any case, I still plan on being there and walking the Goofy if I have to!

also, got permission from moderator TigerLily 03, we're OFFICIAL!

Is that for 2014 or 2013?

A bug?

I think registration begins April 9,so Goofy being sold out should be for 2013.

Oops,double post.

Just my 2 cents

Staying at the Poly was fantastic for Marathon W/E. My building was one of the closest ones to the TTC so just walked out the door both mornings and was right there. I was so nervous about being late the first morning I was the first person at the TTC. They were still cleaning the monorail when I got there. Plus I totally fell in love with the Poly. Beautiful resort with nice sized rooms.

I am really, really hoping I'll be in for the Goofy! If not, then at least the full. I just started running about a year ago and am hooked. Completed my first half (the Tink) last month and will be doing the Princess as well. I live in Charlotte, NC and am planning to do our local Race Fest half in April, Rocktober half in October and Thunder Road full in November along with a bunch of 5 and 10K's. Plus the Dumbo Double Dare and ToT!

I am following the Galloway training plan.

Off-topic, but I got to visit Charlotte last May, and absolutely LOVED it there! The people, downtown area, restaurants - I loved everything about it!

Glad you enjoyed your visit I moved here from Northern Indiana about 9 years ago and absolutely love it!

I hope you are feeling better!! The good news is we have 11 months so you can totally be ready for Goofy!! Yes 88 is a good start. I would love to figure out a meet or a picture atleast. We went to the after party last year so maybe we could meet up there?

So excited--DH and I are going to run Wine and Dine as well as the January Half!! Double the fun!!

We're running the Wine and Dine as our 15th Anniversary treat to ourselves. A weekend away sounds awesome!

So excited. I made our reservations at CSR yesterday.
We’re making this a family vacation as well as running the races. I told DH now that I’ve spent money, and Disney has announced when registration will open… it’s beginning to feel very real.

Making my ressies for AKL this Friday.. Figure mine with be a race / vaca. 8th-15th is what we are planning. Would love to get into BLT but probably wont be able to. My bro owns there, but have a feeling he's already used his points.

Registration starts on my birthday! What a way to celebrate by registering for the Goofy. Speaking of which I managed to get back on the running horse today. Took off the past few weeks after the half bc my ankle had been a bit sore afterword and I had gotten the flu going around. But I felt great today. Yay!

For some reason, runDisney leaves the previous years race info on the website until they are ready to add the next years info. IMO they should delete the old info and just post "coming soon" for next years to avoid the constant confusion it causes.

Yay! FYI: Last year I registered for Goofy on April 3 using the Disney Visa link. So I imagine this year we will have an earlier date again for that.
