Registration has opened for the 2010 Disney Marathon. I ran this in 2008 and it was a lot of fun. http://disneyworldsports.disney.go.com/dwws/en_US/events/eventDetail/detail?name=WdwMarathonDetailPage They have a half marathon on Saturday and a full Marathon on Sunday. If you are Goofy you can do the Goofy Challenge and do both of them. The people that have expressed interest are Anthony-Goofy Joe-Goofy Morgan-Marathon Anybody else want to go. It really is a fun weekend. |

Well, actually my sister brought it up to me because she wants to get back into shape! I would only do it if someone did it with me or I would more than likely back out even if I payed for it........ ANd I have not been running at all  |

I'm not a trainer but from my experience and from what I've read, 20 weeks of running 3-4 times a week is enough time to train for a marathon if you start in little or no running shape, grant it you are in some kind of shape, though.  the first couple weeks you build up to a 5k, then by the end of the month 10k at the end of the 2nd month you should be able to run a half marathon 3rd month a 30k 4th month plus 2 weeks taper you're ready for the full marathon!  |
