First post, and I must be GOOFY!

So it's my first post over here on the WISH board. FI and I ran the marathon last year. I peeled off right after mile 13 as I was just TOO cold to keep going. My fiance, on the other hand, was a BEAST! He had not trained AT ALL for the race, and quit smoking the day before we left for our trip. The only thing that kept him going for 26.2 miles was the 10 days of commando park touring we had done coupled with an insane desire for a Mickey Medal!

Since then it's been a heck of a year for both of us- 4 deaths in the family in the last 6 months or so. We're not in the best of shape, but we're both former (recent) collegiate athletes, so while we'll have to get back into shape, we know how to do it quickly and safely.

FI woke me up this morning to tell me he had registered for the GOOFY CHALLENGE After I wiped the shock off my face I got on the site and registered too

It's going to be an interesting 20 or so weeks around here, but luckily our home is located just 3 blocks from a lit and protected 20 mile run/bike trail. We also have access to a turf building with a track that is open 18 hours a day.

We may have lost our minds, but we're tickled pink to be goofy!

Can't wait to get involved over here, it's so great seeing so many like-minded people!

Congrats on registering! Can either of you get me over to the Goofy Thread? I can't seem to locate it. Thanks!
