... 4th. ... Good luck at Peachtree! Yup, I'm already registered for both races and plan to do a mini-Goofy there (5K + half). I am not likely to make the trip...
Hi! I'll be at Disneyland, too. My friend and I did Goofy plus the 5K in January to get all the medals, but we're passing on the 5K this time. My schedule for...
My daughter and I will be 'running' the Disneyland Half. We have previously done the WDW Full. But . . . I have been sidelined with piriformis syndrome for 3...
I wasn't as lucky as you guys that got into NYC <grin>, so I spent this weekend lining up my Fall marathon schedule. Because of Disneyland and the RnR Half at...
They are pretty darn strict. At this year's Goofy, I finished the half OK, but I was very slow in the full. At mile 10, I had to stop to deal with an urgent...

Do you know your time at mile 10? Would you have finished the full marathon in the allotted time? I am signed up for the Goofy Challenge this year. I guess...
You are correct the Saturday half is a training run, at best. Last year I ended up running the half a lot faster than planned due to the cold and windy...
I don't have a record of my exact time, but I'm sure I was on pace to finish and could have gotten past that checkpoint. I'm not sure, though, that I could...

Thanks for the info. That's exactly the situation I'm worried about. I started training with a group this week, and I've gotten my time down to about 12/13...
Wombat, Keep your chin up you are doing so much better than you realize. If you ran a 37 minute 3 mile run Saturday, you should be able to make the Marathon...
Keith, I was thinking of you the other day. It was great starting the half with you last year. I have toed so many lines, yet the start of the Goofy...
Happy summertime, folks!! Less then 6 months to go to WDW race weekend. I'm looking to develop a training plan for my first ever Goofy Challenge in '07. Anyone...
Larry, Last year I planned to incorporate half-distance runs the day before my normal long runs. (i.e an example of my plan was to run 6 miles on a Saturday...
Larry, Our local ultra marathoner/triple ironman triathaloner says just do your normal marathon training with maybe one or two long run days back to back, just...
I'll go along with this advice. Unless you're planning on going for an age group placing in one of the races (they didn't give out any combined Goofy awards or...
Hello, my name is Kris and I am new to the group. I am wondering if it is too late for me to start training for a marathon. I have never run anything longer...
Hi Kris, You have plenty of time. Start building your base now and you can get your training schedule set for Jan. I will be doing Goofy again this year but ...
Welcome Kris.... I agree with Robert, you have plenty of time to train for either event. Just make sure to build a good base before you get to the point of...
Hi Kris - you may want to check out John Bingham's book "Marathoning for Mortals" The marathon training plans in it are 20 weeks long, so it will work for the...
Hi Kris! I just took almost a week off, 'cause I couldn't get my running partner and my daughter to wake up early enough to get out before the heat. Ran 4 mi...
For those of you planning on doing the goofy, or even the half or full and need a little bit more inspiration, here is an article about a local lady who did...
Since the link to the article I just sent, didn't work. Here is a workaround: Go to the Battle Creek Enquirer home page. Sorry about the link (you can also...
The link doesn't work because it's split into two lines, and IE picks up only the first line. To correct this. copy the second line. Go to where IE indicates...
