I am not going to be discouraged that Howard only trained for a couple weeks and had basically the same time as me. I can only imagine what the man could do if he actually came to the race fully trained.
I would be interested in receiving the Spreadsheet of all the finishers of the Goofy Challenge 2008. My bib number for the Full Marathon was 5172 and for the half it was 22511

Cecilia: I am truly flattered by your comment about my performance sans a true and well developed training plan. Unfortunately due to grad school the past two years, training has been impossible leading up to the past two Goofy's. I could literally only fit in 3 to 4 weeks of running every couple of days.
This will not be the case for Goofy (Pluto?) 2009! I finish school in May and will jump into a training program for the Marine Corps Marathon and Philadelphia Marathon. That should bring me close to the fitness stage I'll need to be in to complete my training for a competitive Goofy. I hope to run a fun 5K with my DS (15) and friend's Kevin (KZMarathon) and his DS (Kyle). Then a quick paced but relaxed Half with Kevin. Then we have decided to run the Marathon on our own to be able to chase our dreams of PR's at Disney.
I hope to drop the overall Goofy time considerably (God willing and my being able to stay injury free - of course).
Thanks again for the compliment. It was great seeing you in the corrals. It was a pleasure to meet you.
Cecilia- I get a little freaked out when I see Howard's time beat me! I'm thinking maybe some shall I say, reduced, training would work better for me so I could be certain of being nice and fresh at the start... Really, I'm very impressed by Howard!
You forgot to mention that you were herding your little injured chicks for at least the first 14 miles or so (I remember because I was one of them). Surely the time you spent cajoling, encouraging, and dancing made you a little slower than you are truly capable of... And I saw you at Epcot looking positively peppy hours after the full, when I was still using Harry's stroller as a walker!
