Congratulations to ALL the WISHers who braved the cold, the wind, and the bridges to become NYC Marathon Finishers today!! You are all amazing and we are so very proud of you! Way to represent! All WISHers can take inspiration from your accomplishment today!

I would suggest that you follow your training plan and resist the urge to do more miles than the plan states. Most formal plans build in the 'no more than 10% increase' rule regarding mileage. That rule is to help prevent people from doing too much too quickly and risking injury. Have fun...

Registered and ready rock Goofy in 2015!

I wasn't able to go to WDW this year but I definitely want to do the Dopey in 2015. If they don't offer it then I'll just do the Goofy again for the 10th anniversary. As long as they offer the 10K I don't see a reason for them not to offer the Challenge as well. The only reason I could see...

I will be upset if they pull a 'Chip n Dale' with Dopey in 2015. I really want to do Dopey next year. I agree that if they continue to offer the 10K, there isn't much extra effort for Disney to offer the Dopey Challenge. I will certainly do the Goofy if they don't.

Hoping you enjoy a joyous Christmas as well! :)

They did the wristbands for the Dumbo and it worked out fine. It wasn't time consuming to get the 10K band and then to get the Dumbo medal at the finish of the Half by showing your 10K band (which they removed when you got the medal).

You are living the life! Antartica! Wow! Are you going to write a trip report? :)

I wonder if they will have wristbands at the 5K finish for those doing the Dopey. That way, they would know you actually finished the race. Unless they 'do' read the B-Tag at the Finish Line just as a proof of completion, especially if you use the same bib for the 5K & 10K cuz it will have the...

If you have an iPhone there is an app called "Find Friends" which allow people you approve to see exactly where you are via GPS. It won't tell you pacing or anything like that. But if you know the course, and you are getting the runner tracking text messages (that includes pacing), you will be...

I have no doubt you will continue being Perfectly Goofy, my friend! :)

I plan to run the Dopey in 2015 and get the 10th Anniversary Goofy medal in the process.

Hi Vic! It is almost 2014 so it's time to start a new list of races. :) February 2: Groundhog Half Marathon (MI) March 9: Los Angeles Marathon (CA) March 29: Penguin in the Park 5K (IL) April 12: Carmel Marathon (IN) April 25-26: Illinois mini I-Challenge 5K & 10K (IL) May 4: Kalamazoo...

We are all still here! But mostly on FB now. We have missed you!!!

I hope to see you there! I'll be in my WISH Green!

I am so sorry I did not see your post! I usually do not stay for the ceremonies at races. This will be my first time running Space Coast. I have heard nothing but good things about the race though. :)

I am still training towards my first 50K Ultra in August and I have to admit that motivation for training kinda comes and goes. I do all my long runs for sure (have an 18 miler on Sunday), but the weekday runs are kinda hit and miss. Part of that is my new work schedule which has me working...

The Goofy Challenge is a very BIG accomplishment! A Half followed by a Full? Not too many runners would do something like that (other than us crazy runners like Marathon Maniacs). I say, train well, avoid injury, and enjoy the experience. The Dopey is certainly a major challenge as well but...

Hey Vic! Have a few more races to run! July 21: RnR Chicago Half, Chicago IL Aug 4: Biggest Loser 15K, Chicago IL Hope to see you at Space Coast! :)

Wow! 13 inches of snow in April! Crazy! I have been dealing with flooding here in Chicagoland. And it looks like more thunderstorms are coming on Tuesday. Oh boy....
