The story begins....

I decided a few years ago that I needed to add The Goofy Challenge to my bucket list.  What is the Goofy Challenge you ask?  Well, it's a 1/2 marathon on Saturday, followed by a full marathon on Sunday in Disney World.  It has taken me until now to figure out that I need to get this done!  Not sure how to go about it but just "get 'er done!" 

I started training in November, 2010.  Short runs; after all, it had been 5 years since I ran my first and only marathon and I didn't want to get too excited all at once.  After discussing this endeavor with my husband (who thought I was just plain crazy!), I knew I really wanted to do this.

Now, I can tell you Greg wasn't all that keen on the idea of me training for this run.  But after sharing with him how much it meant to me and mentioning I didn't give him much grief about building an airplane that we actually are going to fly in, he became much more supportive.  So the training began in earnest.   

This blog will capture the trials, triumphs and course of training through the next year.  Can't wait for the adventure, goofy though it is!!
