Marathon Update

I am so excited about getting to run through Walt Disney World I could throw up. In fact, I probably will! Our training is going well. Jeremy trains a lot more diligently than I do - he does weights on his off days and runs much faster miles. Given that I've fought injuries for so long I'm really content to ease into the weekly mileage. I haven't done any serious running for two years so I'm actually proud of myself for sticking to the schedule we've got.

I've been investigating the course, adjacent hotels, likely temperatures, water stops and potty situation for the race. It really does look like a lot of fun. I think I'll make some Disney-themed playlists for the training runs.

In case you've decided to join us, here's the schedule we are starting with (we are on week 9):



After we get thru this, we transition to this one:



(Schedules came from marathontraining.com.)

Gonna go drink some water. Later!

Nick and I were at church this morning and ran into a high school friend of his. She's done a few marathons and is on a brief hiatus, but she has her sights set on doing the Disney marathon. Why Disney specifically? The medals. A big fat Mickey Mouse face. What could be better? And it's flat. That's bonus :)
