It's been over 7 months now since I signed up for the Goofy challenge at Walt DisneyWorld this coming January. Reality is starting to set in that I'll actually have to start marathon training at some point. I really have no desire to run a 20 mile training run so I think I'll look into the Hansons' Way training program. Gotta love a 16 mile max distance long run.
No matter what amount of training I do from this point out I will be better trained than the last time I ran the marathon at WDW. This January marks the 10th anniversary of my first marathon that was also run at WDW. Back then I had one dri fit shirt, didn't log my runs, didn't track shoe mileage and was totally in awe of the marathon distance. This time around will be only my 5th marathon but I no longer fear the distance. I do respect the distance but know that it can be conquered.
This morning's 12 mile run turned into 12.75. My average HR was right under 75% max so mission accomplished. This week will be easy low mileage stuff resting up for my 1/2 next Saturday morning in Parkersburg, WV. Hoping for cool weather!!!
