Best of luck on your training, you’re going to be awesome. Totally agree — this is for fun (well, other than the physical agony, haha) and for the experience and accomplishment…it’s going to be QUITE a weekend!

I’d agree re: Jeff Galloway’s plan; I’m following Hal Higdon’s plan, which also has a whole lot of those wonderful back-to-back long runs, haha.

I’m so happy and excited for you. You’re going to KILL it. If I can do this, anyone can…we’re all in it together! Looking forward to following you on your training. ;)

I didn’t know about it either; saw it on someone else’s blog! Hal’s plan only seemed slightly terrifying, so I figured I’d give it a shot. ;)

My best advice would be to take your time, have fun and not worry about your times for any of the races! Making it through 48.6 miles is enough of an accomplishment!

Just out of curiosity have you looked at the Jeff Galloway runDisney training plan? I’m not a fan of the face that his long runs go up to a full marathon (I just don’t think it’s necessary), but even if you’re not doing run/ walk I think those plans are good because they incorporate the back to back runs that you’ll need training for something like Dopey. Good luck!

I just registered for my first marathon too!! I am doing the Woodlands Marathon here in Houston on March 1, 2014 and I am both excited and petrified! I think following along with your training and knowing you will be going through the same training will help me though!

The on course support always rocks, though.
