New Marathon Course

I'm in Week 6 of the Conditioning program and doing great. In fact, the hardest part of staying motivated is not moving onto the actual training program. I haven't run in a year and last time I did, I got hurt. So I'm taking this slow and steady and working through the conditioning program 1st. It's easy. It's boring. BUT... I know it's the right thing to do to stay injury free.

So ESPN Disney released the new marathon course this week. They released a video and I am so excited. It's a brand new course for the 20th Anniversary of the Disney Marathon Weekend. The Goofy race is more than 60% full. I'm so glad I signed up for that right away. The Goofy Race is for those who want to do the 1/2 marathon on Saturday and the full marathon on Sunday. I have also signed up for the 5K on Friday. The Disney joke is that those who do the 5K - 1/2 marathon - Full marathon are doing the Dopey. It's fun Disney Humor and I'm happy to take part.

The new marathon course takes the runners to the Disney Speedway and we get to run ON THE TRACK!! It also lets us run around the Baseball Field at ESPN Sports. I'm going to pretend I'm running the bases (minus 2nd base, of course).

I'm getting pumped. The 1st set of races is about 8 months away.
