Broke the 7 minute barrier for the mile (fast for me) this morning during a 5.5 mile interval workout. Had been wanting to work a one-mile "race" into my training the last few months but couldn't fit it in. I was completely surprised when I hit it this morning during my interval training. :)

Bring it on!

I'm also a Garmin guy, and word on the street is that the release of the Forerunner 230 and 630 is imminent, so I'd hold off on that announcement before making any decisions.

Way to push through! I'm guessing the last 6.2 felt longer than the first 20. :eek:

Sometimes you've got to take motivation wherever you can find it. :) We are following the same plan I can see - the Higdon Dopey. I'm not going to follow it exactly, since I'm only running the marathon this time. But in January when I ran the Dopey it served me well, so I'm going to use it...

15 miles on a modified Higdon plan. And it felt like 15.

You've got a great attitude @marissieviolissie. Keep up the good work and hope you get it sorted out.

LOL! If this were true I'd be a no-show on race day, and instead just ride Pirates and Haunted Mansion all day and eat snacks at Sleepy Hollow.

Ran the Broke Man's half marathon this morning in perfect weather conditions. Was very excited for it because my time will determine my coral placement at the Mickey Marathon. :) Official times aren't posted until tomorrow, so I'm barely squeaking by the deadline of Tuesday. :eek: But no matter...

Yeah I used his Dopey plan in January and thought it was great. I'll look at his marathon plans and see which one looks good.

Texas - what plan did you wind up going with? My wife signed me up for the marathon a few days ago and I've got to come up with a plan ASAP. This Sunday I'm running a half that I plan to use for coral placement.

Ran 8 miles in 100% humidity, but that's okay because they were runDisney miles. :) Been here for a week and leave on Wednesday, so I'll get a few more runs in before departure. Love running in the Kingdom.

Between these awesome Donald Duck shoes (Donald is #1!), and the announcement of the WDW Star Wars half, I'm convinced Disney wants me to never retire.

I was driving to work this morning (wearing my Star Wars hat) when my wife saw the announcement on her phone. So excited for this! We already have Marathon Weekend booked and were planning to do the Wine and Dine, but this throws a wrench into the works.

Has anyone heard about 2016 New Balance shoes for the WDW Marathon Expo? How about 2016 WDW Marathon Weekend medals? Didn't think I was going back in 2016, after an incredible Dopey in January of this year. But my wife was asking some curious questions about the marathon, and I have a birthday...

Couldn't agree with this more. There was a ton of L/XL jackets and shirts remaining at last year's expo, and all of the smaller sizes were gone. And that was the first day of the expo! :eek:

Ugh. This is tough. We spent our vacation (that is, Disney) budget on the WDW Marathon Weekend last month. But I see that @Maryssa* posted the Disneyland Half Marathon is a 10-year anniversary medal this year. PLUS, if I run it this year I'll also get the Coast-to-Coast medal. Jeesh. Tough decision.

Ugh. That must be so frustrating. Hope it heels soon.

Atrus79 - did you run the race with a pen and a pad? ;) I mean, that's some serious detail you have! Loved reading through and reliving the memories. You know, after training for the Dopey for practically a year, I feel kind of empty right now. It's so weird to have been so focused on it and...

A virtual race, huh? o_O Learn something new every day.
