#runICOT Official Meet & Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend - January 7-11, 2015

[Yungbuck73]

Sorry about your calf, Justin. I know you were looking forward to the 10K. I'm glad you'll still be there to cheer. It wouldn't be the same without you.

I'll be at Wine & Dine doing the 5K. I'm still deciding about the Finish Line party.

Thanks Cindy. I'm bummed but I feel better knowing that we will still be there to cheer.
From what Melanie and Christine have told me, the finish line party for wine and dine is really fun. We will at least see ya at the 5K and of course cali

I do want to go to the party but we will have the kids so I am trying to figure out the best way to make it work.

You're all making me want to go! I might even be able to run by the 2016 one. Have been hitting the gym every day and working up to it.

You should definitely come. It's not a normal Disney trip at all but still so fun. Cheers to you on the new workout schedule.

Justin, important thing is getting back healthy. Good deal that they will let you defer. We'll be happy to have you cheering whenever you can be there.

I'll be there for the Wine & Dine, but to be honest, it's going to be a whirlwind trip. Our boys will be with us and my in-laws are meeting us there. Let's definitely plan to meet up before the 5K though, okay?

Sorry to hear that Justin. I am still registered for the 10k but I am pretty worried about it. I am still not back to running yet and am not sure how I'll do it. Worst case is walking most of it but even walking is painful right now. No deferring for me though as this is already a deferred registration from this year's event. I have to just do it. Glad you're still going to make it that weekend though!

Like Cindy said, it's not your typical Disney trip. Lots of early mornings and I'm normally just flat out exhausted by Sunday, but it's oh so fun! Come on down and #CheerICOT!!

Def meet before the 5k Are you running Melanie? Also we are doing the after race party so maybe could meet up with you where you are cheering?

Not gonna miss the weekend. Was so much fun last year. You take it easy too

Sad news, Justin and Nat, that you are still having issues. Justin, it is probably wise to defer. Nat, I'm sorry to hear you can't defer again. Hang in there! January is still a ways off.

[BrerGnat]

I am staying positive. I still have five months to prepare. Prior to getting hurt, I could easily do a 10k so it's just a matter of slowly working up to the distance.

That's just it, I don't think we're going to be cheering. My boys and I had such a blast in Epcot while the race was going on when we were there last time. Until the racers start pouring in, it's really uncrowded and FUN!

[Melanie]

Great news for those who missed out on the full or half marathon.

Via the runDisney Facebook page:

We are excited to announce the "Goofy Giveback." Starting today we are taking a limited number of Goofy registrations, breaking up the challenge and opening up additional individual registrations for the 2015 Walt Disney World® Half Marathon and Marathon. Learn more: http://bit.ly/1qUXLwp

I can't wait to see the shirts!

[Buttercup]

I want me some ROYGBV shirts! Any idea when they'll be released?

Me too!!

[Disney4us2]

Just ordered my Run Icot shirt for the cheer squad....whooohoooo

Any meals planned yet???

[JMTStone]

I'm curious about the shirts and the meets too!

Being honest, last year I only ran the 5K then cheered the 10K and 1/2. And Saturday night at 7 PM Jon said I was a walking zombie and passed out in our room while he ate boardwalk pizza. So I missed the Jellyrolls meet.

This year I'm running/walking the 5, 10, then 1/2 so I'm not so sure if I will even TRY to do any night meets. And I promised Christine a snickers bar. I just have to find out what mile I'll be waiting for her!

We also have 4 park tickets. I'm planning on doing the races, showering, then hitting the parks then going back to room very early to rest for next day. Never ever seeing fireworks. Jon can do those on his own.

So Its getting close to FP+ time.... I would like to work my FP around the meets.

We're going to the Magic Kingdom after the 5K race (Thur. January 8) if anyone wants to join Jennifer and I. We also have 5:15pm dining reservations at the Plaza Restaurant that night as well. Make your ressies and join us!

Then on Friday January 9th we have 5:45pm dinner reservations at Via Napoli if you care to partake in some Italian. So that will be our Epcot day I think.

Not sure what we're doing the rest of the week as far as parks/dining but if anyone wants to hang out with a couple of Canadians we'd love to have ya.

We love Canada! We got our Mario and Sidney from Canada. I'm headed up to Ottawa in November. You guys around there?
