One for every race with a different emoji on his head/face. With coordinating sparkle skirt.

What does it mean if ever since I decided to do the marathon I keep having dreams where either I couldn't or forgot to pick up my bib and got lost, etc?

Is this going to go on for 6 more months?

So, my meeting (which was a department meeting, not just my team) turned into a discussion of my marathon plans.
Well then.

Isnt training, planning for a marathon fun! Just wait till you have this dream and you are woken up with a cramp in your toes, calf, ect from the long miles!

We are talking about good beer here too. Not the college natty light beer.

It takes a village ...

 

[SarahDisney]

Surprise. A little disbelief before it was clarified that the marathon is on my January trip, not July. But mostly it seemed supportive.

I'm not sure we're village sized yet. Small hamlet. But we're growing.

Yes! I always end up with weird race dreams and they get worse the closer it gets. I had one before that I had to keep running caves and eating at Disney, they never make sense. Enjoy!

So... I think I have just decided to register for the marathon. It will be my first marathon as a gift to myself for a milestone birthday. I feel like I am going to hate it but the feeling of crossing the finish line (happy, healthy and upright is my goal) will be worth it. Now to spend the next 6 months training?.....

You'll only hate it for a short time and then the sickness of figuring out when you can run another one begins.

Honestly, reading the raw emotion people here felt when they crossed the finish line of a marathon helped me go from I could run a full, but don't want to train for one to I want to run a full once.

Anyone that would want to run a marathon in Florida in July is crazy

 

[BuckeyeBama]

They have marathons in Florida in July?

 

[SarahDisney]

That's pretty much what I said.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

No

There is a half marathon though which is still crazy.

Yay, so exciting & running WDW as your first will be so magical! Training is the pixie dust I say!
