We headed out to Florida on Christmas day. Had a great stay of 8 days at Walt Disney World, and then headed for a 4 night Bahamian Cruise on the Disney Wonder. Fabulous cruise, that I highly recommend to everyone.
I did put in miles onboard the ship around the deck and on a treadmill. We even ran on Castaway Cay.
We returned to WDW on Thursday, and headed straight to the Expo for packet pick up.
Goofy is 39.3 miles over two days. This was a race for the ages. 28 degree temps for both the half marathon and full marathon. Sleet on Saturday, black ice and frozen water and Poweraid both days.
I layered both days, and ended up shedding some t-shirts and sweatshirts along the way. Staying warm, but not overheating was a bit of a challenge. Fortunately I did pack the right gear for the weekend.
Without boring you all with my race details, I'll just share that I finished 2:01 and change for the half marathon, and 4:41 for the full marathon. Oh, and for fun I through in a 5K on Friday before, and Monday after. Three days we affectionately call the Dopey, and four days we call the Dumbo.
The best part of the trip was spending quality time with my family, and friends Marcia and her mom Kim. Additionally, spending time with my WISH, ROTE, and Disney Deads running groups were filled with lots of smiles and laughter. That's what always stands out when I reflect on a WDW race week.
See you all out on the roads and at the waterstops.
