    So who all is doing the [2013] Disneyland Half?

    I was hoping to do the Dumbo Double Dare, but it sold out while I was in the middle of signing up, so now I'm just doing the half. It will be my first time going to California, so I'm pretty excited about that and the coast to coast medal.

    Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

    Doc and I are in for Dumbo Dare. Doc registered at WDW Marathon Weekend, I signed up with Team Muscle Makers for UCMD so I'll be fundraising for this one. I had sworn off the September Half but this was too tempting to resist.

    Our son will run the 10K.

    So who all is doing the Disneyland Half?

    I am; I'm so glad I went ahead and registered my husband and myself at the Tink expo! I was just going to wait until I home but I probably have missed out. We are also running the 5k with 2 of our kids and our 15 year old will run the 10k. So a family full of medals that weekend!

    Dumbo, baby! I'm looking forward to it. Not so much the training, but all the bling: 10k, half marathon, Dumbo and Coast to Coast all in one weekend.

    I too had decided against the sept race this year. But dh thought it would be a good idea to fun again. And then Disney has to entice me with more medals. We registered dh at the tink expo and I'm running for team muscle makers again,. Both girl will be doing the 10k so we are excited to do that as a family!

    I too am going to be with Team Muscle Makers this year! Participating in just the 10K this time, but if the DDD is sticking around, I will be doing that next year.

    I'm in for the half again. Dumbo looked tempting, but I decided to pass. This will be my 2nd and probably last C2C too.

    If they changed the C2C medal would you be back?

    Probably not. I hadn't even planned on doing WDW this year until they unveiled the medal, so unless it's par with that medal I probably won't. I'll continue to do the DL Half every year like I always have but I don't think I need to do WDW again.

    Doing a runDisney 10k for their first ever race will totally spoil them for doing any others!

    Can't imagine a better one to start with - you will have to let us know how it goes! Hoping against hope we'll see a Dumbo or a 10k medal at the Princess!

    Fair enough. Of course, in just five short years there will be the 25th anniversary marathon medal...

    Ok. I'll throw in my hat. I always told my DH that there would only one thing that could possibly inspire me to run 13 plus miles and that would be Walt's original park. I've been lurking here for a bit and feel like I "know" a lot of you after reading all your training schedules, what you wear, how you fuel, etc. It will be exciting to possibly meet some of you on race weekend.
