Well...tomorrow is the day we hop on a plane and fly to sunny Disney World in Orlando, Florida! Or not so sunny...cold-maybe-rainy Orlando, Florida. That's right...after all of my looking forward to a 50s/60s temp for the marathon, Florida is experiencing on of its longest cold snaps in years. The one year I've chosen to do the Goofy Challenge...
But, honestly, I am not that upset about the weather. I'd prefer cold to 80 degrees, which they had 3 years ago. We've trained in snow, sleet, rain, 20s, 30s, 40s...I'm probably ready for anything!
My training recently though, has been a bit lacking due to the severe weather we've had here in Maryland. I missed my last 22 mile run due to the 2 foot blizzard, so my taper was actually 5 weeks instead of 3. I had a bit of a head cold/allergy issue and missed the 12 miles the next week. I made up for it by running 6,5, and 5 respectively last week...but then a wind chill of 0 and 30 mph gusts on Sunday kept me inside and I missed 9 miles. This week has been busy, and I'm just hoping to get out for 3 before I begin packing. So, if training hard and then resting really well means a good race...I should be fabulous! I think it will all be ok, though.
Wish me luck! Race reports to come when I return from the Land of Mickey!

Have a fabulous time! We really enjoyed going to the marathon last year, although the weather was extremely different on race day -- 80-something degrees! I'm doing the half in March and am hoping it will be just as fun. Can't wait to see your post and race day pictures!
