With the kids off at Winter Zoo Camp (hey, it’s a great way to get them out of the house for a day doing something they like), I headed out for what would be my last long run before Goofy at WDW Marathon Weekend. Temps were in the 40’s, and it should have been a nice morning for a run… boy, was I wrong. This was the “not really feeling it run”, and I basically crept up to 13 miles and called it quits. Legs and muscles in general started hurting, and I wasn’t in the mood to trek on for something that risked injury. While I don’t want to go into Goofy undertrained, I’ve completed 2 other marathons, including Goofy last year without a full book of training behind me, so I know I can do it. runDisney also gives you a very nice time cushion of 16-minutes per mile AFTER the last runner starts. Since I’m not running in the last corral, I’ve got an extra buffer.<\/p>\n
These runs are bound to happen from time to time, I just wasn’t expecting it at this one. Maybe tripping along the way was an omen of how the whole thing would turn out. All I can do is rest, and get ready for Goofy 2.0 in less than 2 weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
