Month: January 2013

Saturday January 12th, 2013 – half day I was up before my alarm with only about 2 hours of sleep – wonderful.  But I was feeling good so no worries. Got dressed and caught up with my brother and we headed out to the bus from the Boardwalk at about 3:10 am.  Last year we…

Friday January 11th, 2013 – more of a rest day We were up relatively early – my brother hadn’t managed to get to package pick on Thursday after he got in so he was heading there this morning to get his stuff.  He had missed the regular Goofy sign up so he had signed up…

Thursday January 10th, 2013 – travel day Only got a couple hours of sleep – we had to be up and mobile by 3am local time to shower, load the van and make it to the airport to meet our check in time.  No problems there but tired.  As we were walking out the door…

January 15th – my wife and I got back into town late / last night early this morning from running the Goofy and a Half Challenge – I will provide more details later but I did complete the whole challenge – my fastest challenge yet but still not where I hoped.  I will be posting…

233.5 when woke up and 232.5 after 4 mile run in the late morning. Took the run relatively easy – 2 minutes of walking and most of the run at 6.2 mph but some at 6.6 and a minute at 8.  Nice and easy for the last training run before heading off to Disney World.…

234 when I woke up this morning – 235 after 3 mile run this evening.  Was 232.5 yesterday morning. The run felt good – I tried a bit of speed to see what I could do and things were not bad – did the 3 mile run in 25:45 with only 1 min walk at…

232 when woke up – 229.5 after 8 mile run Run took 77:10 with about 5 minutes of walking – the majority of the run split between 6.2 and 6.6 mph.  Spent some time at 7 mph and a little 8 and 9 mph.  I definitely had endurance but my legs didn’t seem up to…

233.5 when woke up – 233 after 4 mile run in 38:20 I walked 3 minutes of the run and over half the time was done at 6.2 mph – several minutes were at 6.6 and 7 mph – the last 0.1 mile was done at 9 mph just to see if I could.  Surprisingly,…

As a survivor of the now infamous 2010 Disney Marathon with the freezing rain and snow, I find that I start to watch the Orlando weather forecast like a hawk starting a few weeks out from the Disney Marathon weekend – always with a touch of fear if the trend seems to be in the…

233.5 this morning 234 yesterday morning – 236 in the evening after 4 mile run in 35:20 mostly at 7 mph. The run yesterday felt like a very solid run and I felt like I could probably continue a while longer at the 7 mph pace.  That is pretty encouraging.  Things are feeling pretty good…
