Hi guys....just got back from WDW where I also did the marathon (my second full). Saturday, during the half, I worked at the water stops and saw Scott. Then Sunday I did my first 9 miles with Lynn. I actually thought we'd do the whole thing together as we were really in a grove but then another friend came over and slowed us down a bit. I was feeing good so I just continued at my original pace. I ended up giving myself a huge cushion which was good because I really needed it later. Things got a little ugly after 20 miles and I was happy I could take it a little easier because of the faster pace earlier. I finished at 6:47 which is 6 minutes faster than last year so I was very pleased. I saw Lynn in the finishers area with her medal and we chatted very briefly, but my husband (who was also doing the full) had to drop out for medical issues and I needed to get him back to the room rather quickly.
Scott looked like he hadn't even exerted himself at all, so going Goofy was a good choice for him. Like Lynn, I will also sign up for next year's half. The marathon itself is fun, but you can't do it without training and I am not willing to make the commitment to train so intensely 3 years in a row.
Hope you are keeping well in these uncertain times...
