Awesome Thanksgiving trip only runners could love!

Our family will be taking a major trip to WDW over Thanksgiving with 12 of us in total and 4 generations. One of the highlights of the trip is Space Coast Marathon at Cocoa, FL during the trip. Yes, there will be a few of us that run heading over EARLY in the morning to run and earn our Space Shuttle finisher's medals. So awesome!!!!!

That is really cool! I am hoping to get back into distance running shape. I'm running in a 15k next month...and hopefully in a Half Marathon in February. After that...we'll see if I can bump up the mileage enough to try the 2013 WDW Marathon.

I do want to see your finisher's medal though...once you get it. :)

I will certainly post a photo once I get it. My hope is in 2012 I can earn the Disney Coast to Coast medal with running Princess end of February and then Disneyland Half Labor Day weekend. Three medals earned for two races. Awesome!!!

I don't know and it would be interesting to see how many do earn the Coast to Coast medal.
