Is it time for Marathon weekend again?

[goofeygirl]

I just cannot believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday when I was reading what was going on for last years race. I did the Dopey last year and it was an amazing experience. This year tho I am doing the half but then am flying out west to do the SW races in DL

In less than two weeks it is happening again. Really I am speechless about how fast this year has gone by.

I love the energy on marathon weekend in WDW. So much positive energy in the air everywhere...its inspiring.

I know last year this time I had already ran nearly a full marathon on a treadmill in the basement because I wanted to make sure I was ready. The year before that I did the Goofy. So it feels funny to think I am doing a half...but I am so looking forward to it again.

Less than two weeks guys!!!!

I'm trying to get excited. My training isn't where it could have been, but then I've done 3 other Halfs besides the January one this year so I know I can do the distance.

Alas I'm sick! Thought it was a quick weekend cold, but then it came back. Ugh.

This Half is a redo of last year when I had the plague and should NOT have run but I did. I was so so so so miserable last January that I thought I wouldn't go near WDW in January, and then I signed up for this one as a redo.

Hey, at least I'm not sick next week! Hopefully I won't still be!

Well I certainly hope you feel a lot better! You still have a week and a half to get your body well again.

I was in a race last year in March....and I don't know if I will do it again. I was sick then but did the half marathon anyway...but what made it worse was it was SO cold...damp cold. I remember waiting for the race to start and I was nearly frozen!

The worse part about that race was that I never actually warmed up. I was freezing the whole race...weird. When it was over I was miserable...I could barely walk to my car I was so sore.

I kept thinking, how can this be? I wasn't even this sore when I did the Dopey challenge two months earlier. But there I was, cold and sore.

It just was not a pleasant experience for me but it had nothing to do with the race or the location...I was just sick.

So I hope you are better and enjoy it. I hope the weather is nice too.
