I don't know if I'm crazy, stupid, ambitious or all of the above, but I'm going to do it again. The Walt Disney World Marathon. January 11, 2009. Steve and Jamey are are in it again as well as about half a dozen other people I know.
Training reports may not be as exciting as they were this time last year since I've now been there and done that, BUT...since I've been such a slacker over the summer I feel like I'm starting all over. Five miles was an easy run for me back in January, but my five miles on the treadmill this morning kicked my butt.
I'm stepping up to the Hal Higdon Intermediate Training Schedule. Hopefully, my endurance will pick back up pretty quickly because this time around the long runs get longer quicker, and there are more long runs during the week.
My #1 goal is to finish again. My #2 goal is to beat my time of 3:53:03 from last year. My stretch goal is to get in under 3:45:00. Can I take over eight minutes off my time from last year? Only time will tell. One thing I do know is that I now know what an exhilarating feeling crossing the finish line in a marathon is, and so I'll keep this photo in site as my inspiration...
