Walt Disney World Half, or Disney Princess Half Marathon?

I'm leaning towards the disney half in 2013. I'd love to do it in 2012 but I'm having enough problems fund-raising just to do the half I'm doing in October. I've never had these issues before. Plus I'm thinking about doing the new Rock N'Roll sponsored half marathon here too. I may also do a triathlon again next summer. The videos I see of the marathons are amazing it is on my to do list before my joints just completely poop out.

I read about the wine and dine that sounds fun too. Problem though I'm rallying to do a 70.3 in september next year so two trips for athletic events back to back are probably not in the picture. However I could probably budget for one in january, or feb of the following year.

I think the park stays open late for those running it. They have access to food vendors etc.

Looks more and more like Walt Disney Half in 2013. I'm trying to pick a half ironman right now for next year. That will be either june or august.

Kay I love running just to run. I'm going out to CA in a couple of months to run the Nike Women's again, and that is an awesome race. I'd probably prefer the epcot run but I'll have to wait and see next year how finances are.

Well turns out I maybe running Disney sooner than expected. I've officially become injured, I'll know later this week if a half marathon is possible in October or not. If not TNT will have me finish out the season as a mentor then I'll train with winter season on the fund's I'm raising to go to FL. No one really knows the extent of the injury since my pain tolerance is so very high. I'm having an orthopedic look at it this week :/.

I'm unfortunatly expecting to be told its a stress fracture later this week. Which means no half marathon in October, and probably a walking boot for our trip :/.

I'm pretty stubborn, so wheel chair isnt likely to happen.

Likely stuck in a boot for the trip. I'm waiting on the MRI report right now. I've been told xray is clean but I've either got a stress reaction (pre stress fracture) or a stress fracture. I've been booted because its to the point it hurts to walk, and we're leaning towards fracture at this point. Stress reaction will mean 4-6 weeks down I maybe able to sneak out of the boot before we go, Stress fracture 8-12 weeks down no way out of the boot.

They;re also pushing me to consider chair in Disney, I'm highly stubborn though.

Have a dr check it out never hurts to have it looked at. Have you tried stretching? Have you had your gait analyzed for the right shoes? I always reccomend siding on caution and when in doubt letting someone look at it.

I broke my foot last year due to a freak accident, and it wasnt pleasant. Breaking your Tibia is far less pleasant, at this point its literally excrutiating and my pain thresh hold is pretty rediculously high. I have no bruising or swelling, but that in part maybe due to my daily medications. I've gotten to the point it hurts walking in the boot. It hurts every step I take its like a hammer going to my shin, then the pain radiates outward. Hence each step is progressively more and more painful till I rest. Getting up I use my right leg because thats even worse, and forget about walking without the boo. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go on Gimp Sticks in about 2 hours here. My MRI report is back as of yesturday, and they told me I absolutely had to come back in today . Looks like walking at Disney is probably out. However so are the lines!(there is a bright side to everything right? Maybe I can get one of those "celebrate" badges and put "My First Stress Fracture" to be synical?

I just had it confirmed. I have a grade 3 stress fracture in my leg. It goes all the way across the bone. Nasty no wonder I can barely walk. Dr freely gave me crutches, and said a wheel chair is an excellent idea for Disney too much walking 2 weeks after diagnosis of a fracture of this nature . So no lines and my own golf cart!

Jess I wont be doing the 2012 Disney either. I wont have enough time to train most likely. They would like to have me out of the boot at the end of September, but sometime late October or Early November is far more likely with the grade of my fracture. I will be running 10+ miles at a time in the pool but re-transitioning me to ground is going to take some time to make sure the leg is solid, and time means I'm not running distance on the ground. My next long distance race wont be till early April 2012. This allows me plenty of time to heal, readjust, and properly train. It also allows me time for speed work. I came off a foot fracture last year and it took a while to come back despite being stronger than when I went out. If done right Ill come back faster and stronger, if done wrong I will injure myself again and possibly worse.

Dont tempt me I already think of that when I see those things. I also think how do I turn the governor off on those things?

That would be awesome with my cute little pink and skull covering on my boot, and my crutches strapped to the back screaming Tally Ho would be funny!
