Month: September 2013

Finally got around to posting a vid to YouTube that I took during the 2013 Disney World half marathon (as part of the Goofy).  Gives you a bit of an idea of the crowding that coral E had to deal with last year.  Here’s hoping that the changes made by Disney help alleviate the problems…

On the runDisney site they have a place where you can tell them why you run and maybe they will tell your inspirational story on their site or on facebook or twitter (https://www.rundisney.com/why-do-you-run/) .  It is an interesting thing to think about – for many runners that have done more than one marathon I get…

Well tomorrow is the Fort Garry Rotary Club half marathon – just thought I would put up some thoughts on where I am and what my game plan is for tomorrow. It looks like I will go into the race tomorrow about 4-5 pounds lighter than I was for the Run for Diabetes Research on…

219 this morning when I woke up – didn’t bother to weigh myself after the short training run I was surprised that my weight wasn’t higher this morning – we ended up having a late supper after the kids’ swimming lessons last night and we ate out just out of convenience – but looks like…

216.5 when I woke up this morning and 219.5 after evening run So it was nice that my weight was back down to the new low achieved last week even after the drama earlier in the week but I’m not exactly sure why I had a bit of a jump today but it should settle…

219.5 when I woke up and 217.5 after the evening run. Weight seems to be correcting after the damage I did over the weekend. Before the run tonight I got in the pool with the wife and kids for an hour – probably one of the last times we will be using the pool this…

221.5 this morning and 221.5 after evening run. Was 219.5 yesterday morning. Basically my weight took a beating this weekend – ate out a few times and got truly ravenous Sunday night for some reason – it was brutal!  Then I ate way too much licorice yesterday and my weight took a giant leap putting…

219 when I got up this morning and 215 after run this morning Bit of a weight bump from yesterday but had Boston Pizza for supper last night a beer later so I’m sure that contributed – have to keep a watch on that but not really much of an impact overall. Run was pretty…

So up to now I have been pretty focused on training for my 3 half marathon races over the course of September and October this year (see: http://biggoofyrunner.com/upcoming-races-signed-up-for-2-half-marathons-in-sept-2013/ and http://biggoofyrunner.com/wfps-half-marathon-got-in-with-the-second-wave-of-registration/ for more info on those races) – basically I want to break my personal best half marathon time on one of these races (1:46:11 from 2002) while concentrating…

217.5 when I got up and 214.5 after morning run. Spent some time in the pool yesterday splashing around but no real exercising – took a rest day to make sure I’m not overtraining at this point. Run this morning felt really good – started out intending to only do one of my 4.5 mile…
